uted among those who had attend
ed the school during the year. Six
ty-threc pupils are entered upon

factory form, at much lower prices.
. Miss EarII closed with an appeal
to her hearers to support two meas
ures which will be presented dur
ing the winter to the Delaware
Legislature: % The Mothers
Pension Bill. This measure is in
tended to cover cases where moth
ers are obliged to work to help sup
port the family, which means that
the older children are compelled to
miss school, and look after the
younger members of the family.
Many states have passed Mothers
Pension Bills, which provide as
sistance in such or similar cases.
and remove the necessity Of keep
ing children out Of school, etc.
(2) A Unified Probation Law.
Again the speaker explained the
measure by an illustration. "Sup-
pose," Miss EARL said, "that two
boys were arrested for throwing
stones and breaking the windows
at Hagley House. The Commun-
| ity House is situated just outside
Of the city of Wilmington. The
, boy whose home was within the
limits of the city would be treated
as mischievous offender, and
after a reprimand, be put upon
probation; the second boy, living a
very short distance away, would go
through the courts as common
criminal. Unified State probation
laws have been adopted in the
states of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, and New York, and found to
work splendidly.
Professor Rich of the Depart
ment Of Education, Women's Col
lege, Mrs. G. O. Houghton, presi-
dent Of the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation, and Mr.. R. F. Friedel,
principal of the public schools,
talked briefly of the local organiza-
toin, emphasizing that it is unique
in that no dues are asked, and that
everyone, man or woman, parent
or friend, interested in the children
Of Newark, is eligible to member
ship.
The next meeting Of the Asso-
citation will be held in the College
Oratory on Thursday, January %.
DR.. Mitchell will address the meet
ing. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to the public.

Fire Fighting Machine
Again In Service

Fire on Sunday shortly after
twelve o'clock broke out in the
home Of Samuel Spence, who lives
on the road between Christiana and
Ogletown. Neighbors went to the
assistance Of the family, and while
they were unable to combat the
flames, they succeeded in saving
most Of the furniture in the house.
A call was received by Aetna Fire
Co. which promptly responded to
the summons. While the fire had
gained too much headway to leave
any possibility of saving the Spence
house, the local fremen did good
work, together with the Fame Fire
Company of Wilmington, in pre-
venting it's spread to the houses in
the immediate vicinity. The Spence
house was entirely destroyed.

The community meeting held in
the High School building on Tues
day evening was given over to a
consideration Of the possibilities of
the Parent-Teachers' Association
recently formed in Newark. The
audience was made up very large
Iy OF parents of the community
to whom the discussion was a peril
nent one. Following a song cold
Mother Goose" by seven little girls,

Leah Poole, Olive Porter and EN-
ma Lovett, a piano solo was given
by Mrs. William Holton. Miss

ege granted. The Parent-Teach-
er Association is a division Of the
work under the supervision OF the
Mothers Congress, and Miss Earll
earnestly urged the new local or
ganization to affiliate with the ma
tional movement as means OF
gaining the greatest good from the
association. All are eligible to
membership who are interested In
the public schools, and the problems
of child welfare. The speaker ad-
vocated as one of the early activi-
ties of the new association the es-
tablishment of Fairgrounds for the
children of the community, insist
ing upon the importance of making
the appointment of play director
one of the first things in such a
plan. Miss EARL cautioned the
workers should they attempt play

ed by catalogue prices of appara=

SENATE BLOCKED
NO BUSINESS TRANSACTED

After a late hour caucus, the
nrmbars of the General Assembly
met Yesterday morning for organ
zariou. While there were some
contests for the different offices,
thr Republicans Of the House eff
fpctrd their organization without
trouble and were ready for bust
ness ON schedule time. The local
representatives who bOlted the eau
Gus OH Monday evening were only
holding out for the rights of their
respective districts. Contrary to
Wilmington papers and local re-
ports. the bolt was not made at the
instigatiou Of Levy Courtman
Groves. 1t was merely a stand
taken for recognition Of their con-
stituruts and not for any personal
advantage as none Of those who
left the caucus were candidates for
Assembly honors.
I'm the Senate-there was a diff
furut story. To date the stories
ar, conflicting. This much is true
the Democrats after a confer
oncr in Henry Ridgely's office
started the disgusting procedure.
Immediately after prayer by the
chaplain, an attempt was made to-
ward organization. Lieutenant
Governor Ferguson presiding, re-
fused to recognize any but hold

Cantata On New Years Night

A cantata entitled GA Twen-
tieth Century Santa Claus" was
given in the Presbyterian Church,
Christiana, on New Years night.
The various choruses were ably
rendered by the school. The music
unfolded the story Of a crowd of
little Misses Up-to-date who COM
planned of an oId-fashioned Santa
Claus. They decided to send for
"a twentieth century Santa, whose
arrival proved a disappointment,
however. The little folk, greatly
humiliated, sent again, for their
kind old friend of years. The twen-
tieth century Santa was imperson-
ated by Mr.. Warren Singles; the
old Santa by Rev. A. Van Oeveren.

We get this from an exchange.
Try it if you want too: Don't
throw potato parings into the gar
bage pail but into the stove, and
thereby save yourself the annoy
ance of having to call out the fire
department to put out a chimney
fire. The burning of potato parines
prevents the gathering of SCOT. A
man who is keeping up a strong
coal fire in his range every day
during the winter. says you can
never find a trace of SCOT on the
lids, the bottoms of kettles OF any
part of the stove If potato parings
are burned daily.-Frankford
