LEAVES INTER-
ESTING WILL

Ashton R .Tatem, bachelor, or
thodox Quaker, temperance en-
thuiast, lover of horse and man is
dead, yet his name, his deeds will
be recalled by his friends for many
a day. Mr.. Tatem who died at his
home near Elsmere, left a will il
Illustrative of his makeup.
For years Mr.. Tatem travelled
for Whitehall Tatem Company,
manufacturer of Druggist Glass
ware. Retiring several years ago
from active business, he moved to
the old Tatem homestead near
Newport. Here he devoted him.
self to agricultural interests, pay
ing special attention to horse
/ breeding. He was the owner of
several very high bred Morgan
Horses, their names standing in
Registry. Also he owned a string
of standard bred. At the time of
his death he owned twenty of
these, most of them of exceptional
mark.
His will provided that Ex-Sen-
ator Corbit of Odessa should have
first choice of this string and Pro-
fessor Hayward of Newark should
have second choice. Mr.. Tatem
was much interested in the Col
lege Farm and was a frequent WIS.,
itor. Just before his death he pre-
sented the farm with a number of
high bred registered Berkshires.
His will further provides that the
remaining horses be sold, the re-
ceipts to make a fund, the income
from which should provide lee
, lures and other means in fostering
the interest and love of horses
among the agricultural students.
Also all his prints, pictures, and
collection of books on horses will
, go to the College Library. In
these, there is reported to be some
rare specimens.
L, Mr.. Tatem was a typical men,
Der of the so-called old school, now
fast passing away. He has be-
queathed to the college, not only a
provision for the study of horses,
= but memory that will be recalled
! with interest by every true sports
man.

Accused Of Sighting Flag

A dispatch from Portland, Ore
gon, in Baltimore Sun of July 10,
reports the following outburst on
Claxton, we'll known in local edu-
cational circles:
A resolution that President Will
son be asked to dismiss P. P. Clax-
ton, United States Commissioner of
Education, becaus eof sentiment
derogatory to the United States
flag he was reported to have ex-
pressed in a speech two years ago
in Boston, caused a commotion to-
day at the first session of the
twenty sixth annual Congress of
the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion.
The resolution was introduced
by Christopher w. Horr. 1t was
greeted with Kisses, but was final
ly referred to the resolutions COM
mittee without debate.
In his Boston speech Commits
sioner Claxton said, according to
an excerpt read in the convention
AFTER all, the people of the world
care very little what flag they live
under. A flag means nothing. II
is not a reality. They can live
under one combination of colors
as we'll as under another"

Crop Observations

Due to the constant rains, farm,
ers are having considerable trou-
BILE with harvesting. Reports of
wheat threshing are below the nor
NAL yield in this section.
Hay is fair in quantity and of
excellent quality.
Alfalfa is gaining favor. The
second cuttings have been made
and in many instances equaled the
first. Yields on reported plots are
from 2 to 2 1-2 tons per acre fol
each cutting. There is every pros
pect of two more cuttings.
Everybody is reporting pros
poets for big yield of oats. Th'
acreage around here is, however
less than usual.

Historical Trip By
Summer School

On Saturday DR.. Vaughn took a
party of Delaware College stu
dents on their first educational
trip. The party left Newark on
the early morning train for Phila-
delphia. Here many places of his
torical interest were visited, as
Carpenters Hall, Christ Church,
Benjamin Franklin's grave, Betsy
Ross House, Friends Meeting
House, independence Hall. They
also visited the Curtis Building
where a courteous guide conduct
ed them through the various de-
partments, showing and explain
ing to them the wonderful SYSTEM
attic development of a modern mag
azine.
Here the party was deeply inn
pressed with the fact that this
company is indeed helping the peo-
pie they employ to lead happier
lives by the social, educational and
cultural advantages supplied them
The party found itself tempted
to linger in the dining hall with
it's beautiful mural decorations by
Parrish; the rest room with its
library; the recreation hall with
it's airy promenade; and the corri-
doris hung with the original paint
ings and sketches used in the va
rious magazines published there.
The U. S. Navy Yard was next
visited and the battleship Ala
bama inspected.
The tour was completed with a
visit to the 200" where valuable
instruction and amusement were
combined.
The party returned to Whining
ton by boat, enjoying the cool and
refreshing breeze.
DR.. Vaughn had the trip so we'll
planned that no time was lost in
going from one place to another.
Also, his valuable store of know
ledge concerning the places visited
and the interesting manner in
which he explained everything
made the trip truly delightful
one. The entire party thinks that
DR.. Vaughn is a splendid conduc-
tor and have asked him to arrange
another trip as soon as possible.

At public meeting of the
Board of Health held last Friday
night in Council chambers which
was attended by number of prop
erty owners matters pertaining to
improving the sanitary conditions
of number of properties were
discussed. Realizing that it would
be hardship to order some of the
small property owners to connect
with the sewer at once the board
took this opportunity and way of
suggesting some inexpensive ways
of improving sanitary conditions
and of asking the owners to coop
crate with the board to that end.
At the opening of the meeting
DR.. H. G. M. Kollock, president of
the Board of Health read the fol-
lowing statement which fully ex-
plains the purposes of the meet

Summer School Notes

Teachers and prospective teach
ers who are in attendance at the
Summer School at Delaware Col
lege were highly gratified to
learn this week through the press
that they will receive credit this
year on their teachers certificates
for work passed in the school. 1t
was announced some time ago by
State Superintendent Stephens OF
Maryland that teachers from his
state who passed work at the
school would receive full credit on
their certificates; but it was not
announced by the State Board OF
Education of Delaware that Della
ware teachers should receive SIM
liar credit until the meeting OF the
Board last Friday. The effect OF
this announcement of the State
Board is bound to be most whole
some upon the educational system
of the State. Those in attendance
at the school are assured that their
work will benefit them in the way
that will do them the most good
namely, by helping to give them
higher grade certificates. Ihey
will also have an incentive to DO
better work than they otherwise
would do, and the result OF THIS
service that they can render 10
their communities. The announce
ment of the state board means a
continuation, for this year at least,
of the system in effect last year OF
giving teachers credit on thelr
certificates for work which they
do in the Summer School. The an
nouncement as given out Tor the
press is as follows:
For some weeks there has
been a difference Of opinion
among educational officials
interested as to just what Gre
dts the State Board OF Edu-
cation should accept from the
Delaware College Summer
School. The matter has been
discussed at various meetings
of the State Board and the
County Superintendent ana
was talked over again at tne
meeting of the board early
this week. Inasmuch as no
plan which would change the
summer school credits has
been agreed on, Henry Ridge
ly, president of the Board, mas
definitely announced that the
summer school credits will be
lust the same this year as last
year"
