War Strikes Newark

War struck Newark this week
in a real practical way. An agent
for the Allies was in town looking
for horses for war shipment. 1t
is understood he met with but lit
tie success. One farmer having
four young horses, measuring ac-
cording to standard required re-
fused sale. Although the horses
are in the market, our rural
friend did his part in stopping the
war in real practical way, by re-
fusing to sell for such purposes.
Farm after farm in this State
may be visited with the same re-
suit. The old rural joke has a
keen sense of honor when the pro-
ducts of his labor are in question.
In this commercial day of wealth
irrespective of the means, it is re-
freshing to find some tiller of the
soil refusing to be a party to the
slaughter of nations. Our own
country in danger, such as he
would be on the firing line. Bless
the farm, anyway!

Another Garage For Newark

Autos - automobiles - Stude-
bakers Chas. w. Strahorn, be-
fore leaving for Buffalo and De-
troit, where he will visit the Stud
ebaker plant, awarded the con-
tract to L. B. Jacobs for a new
Garage to be built on Main street,
where the Western Union has an
office. This and adjoining build
ings will be razed and work start
ed about the first of the month.
The building will be of rein
forced concrete construction, abso,
lutely fireproof. 1t will be so by
"a feet one story high. Every ia
cillty known to the up-to-date
garage will be Incorporated. Mr.
Jacobs, contractor, is experienced
IN concrete construction and will
no doubt spring another surpris,
as in the case of the Trust Com
pany Building.

Full Credit Given For
Summer School Work

For some weeks there has been
a difference of opinion among ed
ucational officials interested as to
just what credits the State Board
of Education should accept from
the Delaware College Summer
School. The matter has been dis
cussed at various meetings of the
State Board and the County Sup
erintendents and was talked over
again at the meeting of the board
early this week. Inasmuch as no
plan which would change the
summer school credits has been
agreed on, Henry Ridgely, presi-
dent of the board, has definitely
announced that the summer school
credits will be just the same this
year as last year.
DR.. Charles A. Wagner, State
Commissioner of Education, has
prepared the manuscript for new
bulletin for the State Board OF
Education entitled, "Certificates
of Teachers; Teachers Examina'
tions and Renewal of Teachers
Certificates" This manuscript is
now before the State Board for ap
proval, criticism and suggestions
and will be taken up by the Boarc
at one of the early fall meetings

Chapman's New Store

Main street is fast becoming
strictly the business section CT the
town. A few months ago, w. ID.
Dean, the plumber, turned resi-
dence into business front. The
latest is the new Chapman store
adjoining the Golden Eagle. This
promises to be our leading store on
department lines. Mr.. Chapman
above the B. & O., while he mas
built up a strong business, has
never received due recognltloh
and credit for his service. Loca-
ton did it. 1t was too close TO the
residential section and not IN line
of traffic. For quality and neat
display of goods, he has no super
ior in the county. This new build
ing with more room, better ar
Hanged will give him opportunity
that will demand attention.
1t is predicted that he will dou'
BILE his business at the new STAND
The busy buying public Will ap
preciate this service. It's buy a.
home now for sure.

An Observation Of Newark

A Summer School girl has made
the following observation: "4es,
am from Sussex which | believe
is considered, hereabouts, outside
the pale of civilization. You give
us, | believe, credit for being a
genial, hospitable kind of folk but
as for what the world calls pro-
gress we are rated a back number.
Before my arrival, | had thought
perhaps this might be sad truth
but now,--well | am better sat
isfed with folks back home. You
have improvements and advan-
tages that are not ours but we are
moving. AS an illustration, we
have a Sane Fourth in ordinance,
spirit and letter of the law. The
noise and street conduct in New
ark on the Fourth would not be
tolerated in my home town. 1t was
positively dangerous to walk on
your streets. In throwing bombs,
your surpass the Germans and
French. Your cross-street bomb
fight on the night of the 4th re-
minded me of a Western movie
screen. Yet | saw professors
ministers, business men, town of,
ficers with real policeman clothes
on pass by as though it was nee
essary evil. | rather enjoyed it.
it made our folks compare favor
ably. Our old constable woulc
would have laid down his pipe ant
walked into that bunch. With
that Sussex made product known
as smokeless powder, he woule
have had it quiet in a few min
utes.
If this is culture-then give mt
Sussex-dry, sane and sound

OUR FIRST SCHOOL,
MASTER IN DELAWARE
SUMMER SCHOOL DATES BACK TO 1867

"Delaware's first Schoolmaster'
was the topic of an interesting talk
by Dr.. Vaughn at Chapel this
week. Full of interesting facts,
not generally known, he gave
popular touch by his comparative
references. This talk has been a
topic of discussion among the
teachers. 1t has, in fact, here
created another demand on the
College-that of a course in Della
ware History. The speaker said
in part:
Time does not permit full dis
cussion of the Swedish and Dutch
provisions regarding education.
Nor can we this morning trace the
royal line of schoolmasters from
the earliest teacher down to DR..
Wagner and Professor Dutton.
All we can do is to note few facts
more or less connected with Our
First Schoolmaster" in Delaware.
The old Swedish charter pro-
vided that at all times ministers
and schoolmasters should be sup
ported by the people, sufficient for
their needs. 1t was the Dutch,
however, who furnished the first
schoolmaster. The aim of educa-
ton had been the advancement of
Christianity, and the ministers, as
the earliest teachers, went from
hous eto house to teach the child
rem. These itinerant schools prov
ing unsatisfactory, there arose q
demand for professional school
masters. The first of these along
the Delaware was Everett Pieter'
son. who landed at New Castle or
April 25. 1857. For a time his
salary was to be paid by the ole
world city of Amsterdam. By Aug
10, 1857, Peterson tells in let
ter that he had a school with 2:
scholars. If you note these dates
YOU will see that this was our frs
summer school, with Everett Piet
erson as Dean. While the record
do not say so specifically, | fee
safe in saying that all the student
got credit for all the work tina

Hayward Receives
Another Offer

A report has been received from
Maryland this week that Director
Hayward of the Experiment Sta
tion has been offered the presi-
dency of Maryland Agricultural
College. When spoken to, Director
Hayward refused to make any
comments for publication further
than admit that he had been ap-
preached by one of the prominent
officials.
Professor Hayward has Just re-
Gently declined an offer as Direc.
tor and Dean of the Agricultural
Department of the University OF
West Virginia. 1t is thought thai
he will continue his work here, az
projected rather than enter a new
field.

School Gardens A Success

Miss Agnes Medill, a teacher in
the Newark public schools, who
has charge Of the home garden
work which was started in the
spring b ythe children of Newark
had the group of summer school
students who are taking up the
home garden subject in the school
for an inspection trip to a num-
ber of the gardens the latter part
of last week. AS there are be-
tween 20 and 80 of these gardens
it was impossible to visit them all
in one day. They were divided
into three groups and the two
other groups will be inspected on
later days. After this inspection,
Miss Medill and F. B. Hills, who is
the agriculture instructor in the
summer school, will take the en-
tire body of students, numbering
about 40, who are taking up the
subject of agriculture for visit
to the gardens.
Miss Medill is much pleased
with the showing that the child
rem have made with their gardens
and some of them have sold con-
siderable produce from them.
Prizes have been offered for the
best gardens and these will likely
be awarded in the fall.
Newark post., 1915-07-14

they did satisfactorily in this or
iginal summer school-a good ex-
ample for all later summer schools
There are only a few other ref
erences to Peterson. Q) The
sheriff on one occasion came to
fetch him, but later legal docu-
ment shows that he came as a
friend and not to lay the hand of
the law on our first schoolteacher.
(2) There are some references to
Pieterson's salary-always an in
teresting point where teachers are
assembled. 60 Later Peterson
seems to have taught in New York.
The education Of Everett Pieter-
sons day was very meagre and
little was really accomplished.
Spelling and writing were best
taught. The only books were
Dutch primers and Bibles and the
work was purely mechanical in
character. The chief requirements
for a "teacher's certificate" were
(a) great physical strength and
(b) great courage to correspond
In conclusion Professor Vaughn
read a lengthy Dutch letter OF
Pieterson's day to show what was
