Egg Records Broken

Delaware farmers are getting
more money for poultry every year
than from any single crop except
corn. The egg laying competition
at Newark is demonstrating that
we have hens in the State that lay
200 eggs each per year. The Della
ware hen with the best record up
to date is one entered in the compe-
tition by Hon. o. A. Newton, OF
Bridgeville. Her record to August
3 is 1913 eggs, and the year will not
be up until November l. Just
across the line in Maryland is the
home of the champion hen OF the
world, now in the competition at
Newark, her record being 246 eggs
up to August 13, and as she has
two and a half months to go, she
is likely to reach the 800 mark. Ad-
ditional buildings the needed at
the Station and it is understood
that they will be provided as soon
as the trustees can find the small
amount of money necessary Tor
this purpose. Superintendent Pol
lard is asking for a building, the
basement of which will be used for
an incubator room and the main
floor for grain and other storage.
If this building is secured, the
Station will receive a gift of a
Mammoth incubator worth as
much as the cost of the building,
and other gifts will follow from
people outside of Delaware who
are interested in the development
of the poultry industry.

At meeting of the Board of
Education last evening the ques-
tion Of taking immediate steps to
adjust the work of the Newark
High School to conform to the new
course Of study prescribed by the
State Board for Delaware High
Schools, was carefully considered,
and several definite conclusions
were reached. First, that nothing
less than the four-year course
would satisfactorily meet the
needs of this community. Second,
that the new four-year course
shall be adopted at once for the en-
tering, or Ninth Year Glass. This
applies equally to all such pupils,
whether they pursue work leading
to graduation in College Prepara-
tory, General, or Commercial
branches. Third, that the classes
now in the High School will be al,
lowed to continue the courses al
ready started and graduate upor
the completion of the present three
year course. This includes the
starting of a new Commercial
class this year for the benefit o.
those pupils now in the Higl
School who have taken Nintl

Woman Meets Horrible Fate

Mrs. Martha Cramer, colored,
met with a horrible death on Fri
day afternoon when a south bound
engine drawing a caboose crashed
into a buggy at the Colored Col
lege crossing near Dover. She and
her three children and her ten year
old sister were driving to visit her
mother. At the crossing she wait
ed till freight train passed but
was caught on the tracks by the
south bound engine. The horse
was killed and the buggy partly
broken. What was supposed to be
a spoke of the engines pilot or COW
catcher, passed through the wo-
mans body, entering the left side
and coming out above the right
shoulder, causing her death within
an hour and half. Her sister was
hurt more or less but her three
children escaped injury.

Delaware Peaches Plentiful

One hundred and fifty cars and
more than 10000 baskets is the
peach shipping record from
Bridgeville. The peach season is
about two-thirds over. On account
of the low prices during the past
two weeks, a great number of
farmers disseminating picking, re-
sulting in quantities Of fruit vast

price jumped to 20 cents per bas-
ket, and farmers have resumed
picking, claiming they can make
a small profit at the present price

Many Unacquaint-
ed With Law
All New High School Pupils
Must be Examined

According to the new ruling of
the State Board of Education, ex-
aminations for entrance to high
schools throughout Delaware were
held on August twentieth at va
rious centers throughout the State.
At Newark the examinations were
in charge of Mr.. Friedel, princi-
pal of the High School. Nine pupils
from outside of the district seek
ing entrance to the Newark
School were examined, and three
who desire admission to the New
Castle school. The Newark school
has for several years had between
twenty and twenty-five new pupils.
Mr.. Friedel in speaking of the
small number who were examined
last week stated his belief that the
decrease was due to a failure to
grasp the import of the new law.
In spite of the fact that repeated
press notices, stating that all new
pupils must pass an examination
before being admitted to high
school, have appeared in the
papers throughout the State, many
rural pupils are expecting to en-
ter the schools in September, who
have not yet been examined.
Mr.. Friedel has communicated
with County Superintendent Cross
: who is in conference with DR..
Wagner, concerning the unsatis-
factory outcome of the examina-
ton. In view of the fact that the
, custom has not been established,
? it is probable a second examina-
2 ton will be held at an early date

Quein's Whereabouts Located

Algenon Quein, the Cecil county |
farmer who mysteriously dlsap-
peared a month ago, leaving his
wife and five small children alone
on a farm near Fairhill, has been
located at Columbia, Pa, where he
is working in a mill. Quein left
home suddenly last month after
one of his horses dropped dead in
the hay field. 1t was thought at
the time that his mind was affect
ed by the heat and that he had
committed suicide. Neighbors
made a search of the surrounding
country for several days for his
body.
AS far as is known Quein, who
is we'll known in Newark, where
he was formerly employed in the
store of William P. Wollaston, has
made no explanat ion of his action
in leaving his wife and children.
The first that his family knew
that he was even alive was when
| Mrs. NZuclu IcCclNcu q iSeeSA AAoiii
his several days ago stating that
he was working in Columbia and
asked that his clothes be sent to
him there.
One day last week a fire started
in a straw stack on the farm where
Quein lived and before it could DC
extinguished every building or
the place, inlluding the dwelling
was burned to the ground. Mrs
Quein and the children escaped
with only the clothes they wore al
there was no time to save the con
tents of the buildings. Quein evl
dently knew nothing of the FIR
when he wrote for his clothes.
The fire was not the only mis-
; fortune that Mrs. Quein has ha
since her husband left her. Whe
he left their youngest child wa

Notice To Parents

The Board of Education has de-
cided that no Beginners Glass
shall be started in the First Grade
in February of this school year as
in previous years. Children arriv-
ing at the age of six years, on or
before Jan. l will be admitted to
the First Grade at the opening of
school, August 80. During the
first two weeks there will be no
afternoon sessions in this grade,
but parents expecting to enter
pupils are urged to do so prompt
ly. A delay of a week or two
after the class is organized otter
proves a serious disadvantage tc
a beginner.

FOUR YEAR COURSE ADOPTED
At HIGH SCHOOL

Grade work with this purpose in
view.
This arrangement will cause no
pupils now in the High School any
disappointment because Of forced
changes in the course of study,
while at the same time it will
place our high school in line with
the best schools of the State, a
number of which had of their own
initiative adopted four-year
course. Furthermore the new
course of study is uniform through
out the State, and pupils passing
from one high school to another
will encounter no serious obstacle
as has frequently been the case in
the past when each school had its
own course of study. This is made
possible by the simple device OF
prescribing Identical courses fol
two-year and three-year higl
schools as are prescribed for th'
first two or three years of four
year high school.
The complete course leading t.
graduation, as adopted by tn
Newark Board of Education las
night follows:

Farm Peach Season On

Peach season is at it's height at
the College Farm. About seven
hundred baskets of the Belle of
Georgia have been picked during
the first three days of this week,
and two hundred and fifty baskets
lieved the crop is slightly smaller
of Champions. Although it is be-
than last year, it is estimated it
will total at least five thousand
baskets.
The entire crop has been sold
at contract price to C. M. Celia of
Wilmington. The Station has re-
served the right to sell locally, in
limited quantities, however. AL
though persons in the immediate
locality may purchase at the or
chards, sales to Wilmington par
ties are discouraged by the man
agement.
Owing to the fact that the dis
posal of the drop peaches has in
terfered seriously with the expert
mental work on the farm, it has
been deemed advisable to dispose
of this part of the crop also b,
contract. Consequently an ar
rangement to this effect has beel
made with Alfred Stiltz of Newarl
The first Elbertas were picke'
today. 1t is believed pickers vii
be busy in the orchard until abou
the tenth of September.
