THE WISE FARMER

Tacre was a man in our town
and he was wOndrOus wise
He knew that if he wanted crops
He'd have to fertilize.
sIes nitrogen that makes things
green"
Said this man Of active brain;
"And potash makes the good strong
straw,
and phosphate plumps the grain.
Btt its clearly wrong to waste plant
food
On a wet and sOggy field;
s'!i surely have to put in drains
If I'd Increase the yield.
Ard after have drained the land
must plow it deep all over;
And even then I'll not succeed
lInless it viii grow clover.
Now acid soils win not produce
A clover sod that's prime;
So II Il have . sour soil,
1N.haye tn put on lime.
AND after doing all these things,
10 make success more sure,
MI try my very best to keep
From wasting the manure.
S. TI drain, and lime, and cultivate,
With ali that that implies;
And when I've done that thoroughly
Hi manure and fertilize.'

Y. w. c. A. At
Women's College

The Young Women's Christian
Association of the Women'S Col
lege is an active organization. Its
members believe in doing things,
and in doing them right at home,
as is shown by the impulse they
have given to the playground
work in Newark. On two morn
ings a week, the girls on the
Social Service Committee of the
Y. w. c. A. go to the school play
ground before school opens, and
there for an hour direct the child
rem in organized play. They play
all manner of games,-"Dodge
Ball." Il Spy" Cat and Rat
everything, in fact, that tends to
teach cooperation and at the
same time to develop leadership,
not in the few who naturally
"boss," but in the slower children
who most need the development.
In short, they see to it that every
child gets his share in those bene-
fits of recreation which are COM
ing more and more to be realized
at a vital part of our educational
methods. And the work which
the college girls are doing in
Newark, is significant not alone
in its immediate results. The
.,irls are here getting splendid
training which they can make use
of in the establishment of play
ground schools in their home
towns.

Board Completes Com
mencement Arrangements

At a meeting of the Board OF
Educ held last night final ar
rangements were made for the
School Commencement exercises
to be held in the Opera House on
Friday night of next week. A COM
plete list of the graduates appears
in another column.
The baccalaureate sermon to
the graduates will be preached by
Rev. Walter G. Haupt, at st. Thom-
as Episcopal Church next Sun
day morning. Everett c. Johnson
will deliver the commencement
address. The Delaware College
orchestra has been secured to
furnish the music at the COM
mencement exercises.
The board of education decided
to charge a nominal admission
price of ten cents for the COM
mencement. The graduates, how
ever, will be furnished with all
the admission cards that they de-
sire for their families and friends.
The reason for the charge is the
fact that in the past the Opera
House on the occasion of the COM
mencement exercises has been so
crowded that persons had to stand
or sit in the aisles and this was
considered dangerous in case of
accident.
1t was also decided to engage a
Goldey College expert penman to
fill out the diplomas to be pre-
sented to the graduates at the ex-
pnse of the board. In the past the
graduates have been paying for
this themselves. DR.. Joel S. Gil
fillan, president of the board, will
present the diplomas.
The board appointed Miss Es-
ther Ferguson, teacher for the
first primary grade. Miss Louisa
Swayne, for several years teacher
of the sixth grammar grade, re-
signed to accept position as
teacher in the Centerville school
which is near her home in Fair
Vile, Pa. Her successor will be
named at later meeting.
The contract for connecting the
primary school with the sever and
installing closets in the basement
of the school was awarded to
Daniel Stoll, the lowest bidder, his
bid being $239. L. B. Jacobs and
William Dean were also bidders.
1t was decided that pupils who
have moved out of the district
will have to pay the usual non
resident tuition fee. This fee will
have to be paid by next Monday.

suggestions were given those who
attened.
Special arrangements have been
made for the closing exercises Of
the schools the latter part of this
week, with addresses and other
features. The department of home
economics of the Women's College
will present each home-making
school student who has attended
the required number of days with
an attractive certificate. Dean

The idea of Give Minutes for
Memories" introduced by the
city of Philadelphia in 1911, is be-
coming more widespread with
each recurring Memorial Day.
The simple ceremony has sprung
from the custom of the Order of
Elks, whose most beautiful and
significant rite is the eleven
o'clock toast to the brothers who
have passed away. Then the
feasting comes to an end; the
jests are silenced; the thoughts of
the jewellers are with the dead.
