preciative audience, in honor of
the visit of DR.. and Mrs. Edward
Waldo Emerson of Concord, Mass.
DR.. Robinson, who is the son of
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in response
to the request of his hostess, Dean
Robinson, lectured at fourth-thir-
ty. The speaker gave many inter-
esting "reminiscences of the New
England authors: Hawthorne,
Longfellow, Lowell, and Holmes.
In his consideration of Haw-
thorne, DR.. Emerson dwelt upon
his personal characteristics, his
diffidence and shyness in receiv-
ing visitors, and at the same
time his frankness, manliness, and
love of children. Hawthorne him
self, the speaker declared, refer
red to his "cursed habit of soli'
tude."
/ Because of this snyness which
drove him to a clustered life
Hawthorne ventured little upol
conversation in his writings. Hi.

Soil Requirements
In Delaware

The Department of Agronomy
of Delaware College is conducting
pot culture test in the expert
mental greenhouse on the ferti-
lizer and lime requirements of
seven of the chief soil types of the
State. These soils have been COL
lected from the following hun
dreds: Millcreek, Pencader, two
from Dover Hundred, North Muir
derkill, Lewes, and Rehoboth, and
Blackbird. Sixteen four-gallon
pots are used for each type of
soil. For each series, various ele-
ments of plant food, singly and in
combination, are applied to the
various pots. Wheat is the first
crop grown, and clover will fol-
low upon the harvesting of the
wheat. The results will show
some of the plant food require
ments of those types of soil which
constitute large area of the
State.

ologist disguised as story-teller;
Hawthorne was an artist. From
stern old puritanism he wove with
a silver thread. "The House of
Seven Gables shows Hawthorne's
greatest charm" DR.. Emerson de-
clared. In the story after the ar
tist has skillfully depicted the
gray and sombre atmosphere sur
rounding winter and old age, he
introduces youth to make Indian
Summer there. Again Hawthorne
made from the simplest materials,
bright and wholesome pictures
he uses his clay, not for daubing,
but for modelling. He rejoiced in
making human flower stand out

."The Jonah" On
Friday Evening

In accordance with previous no.
tices, "The Jonah" will be staged
in Newark Opera House next FRI
day evening, April 10th. There
are several reasons why this play
should appeal to local patrons OF
amateur theatricals. In the first
place, the play itself has merit. 1t
was selected for its high charac-
ter in plot, setting, dialogue
humor, etc. Secondly, it is coach
ed by Mrs. Herman Tyson, who
has been highly successful IN past
wears in training local amateur
theatricals. Again, the cast IS
composed of persons who nave mao
considerable experience in similar
productions here and elsewhere
Furthermore, the rehearsals have
been conducted with rligious reg
ularity and promptness and no Ell,
fort has been spared to perfect
all the details of staging.

SEWER CON-
Il NECTIONs

Recently the Board of Health
resolved to clean up the neighbor-
hood of the Public Schools. To
this end, all of the properties on
Academy street were ordered re-
ported to Council for sewer con-
nection, but the Secretary reports
this week, that all property own
ers on that street have promised
to make the connections voluntar-
lily. Such a spirit of cooperation
is most admirable and gives the
Board splendid encouragement at
the outset Of what is at best an
unpleasant but necessary duty.
Mr.. Mansell Tweed, Mrs. G. Major,
S. M. Donnell, agt., Mrs. L. c.
Jones, Mr.. G. Ferguson, and the
Hose Company own these houses
and their names are given here to
be praised for helping on such a
necessary work.
The Academy Trustees have
decided to connect at once, and
after 80 days there will remain
only the Primary School to obey
orders Of the Council.
Property owners with badly
built outside toilets had better get
busy and fix up, for the Board of
Health evidently means business
this year.

PRESS CHAPS ARE SORE
AT TREATMENT RECEIVED


London, March 29.--Some Of the
London papers are complaining be-
cause newspaper men are accom-
plshing things the British represent
atives of the profession have been I'M
able to do and are blaming English
statesmen in consequence. Two of
the instances most frequently cited
are Sir Edward Grey's reply to the
Associated Press interview with Won
Bethmann4 Hollweg, the German
chancellor and Frederick Palmers
interview with General Sir John
French.
The American newspaper men in
London have been so constantly
thwarted by censorship that they are
not inclined to regard their work with
any special pride, but the respective
methods of the American and British
journalists may be inferred by the OBJ
sei'vations of a London editor who
said when expressing disappointment
because his paper did not carry the
interview with King Albert of Bel

err obtained last December, 'it never
