"The World Crisis And
The Way To Peace

Many books have been written
and published dealing with differ
ent phases of the great war,-its
origin, its conduct, it's possible out
come. Little has been written,
however, about the relationship of
America to the war, and Of the re-
spOnsibility that devolves upon
her. A contribution to this ne
elected division is The World Crisis
and the Way to Peace, by E. Ellis
worth Shumaker, author of God
and Man. Earnestly concerned
over the crash of civilization and
the appalling holocaust that the war
has entailed, the author believes
that America must under the in
sistent pressure of great moral
responsibility abandon its policy
of impotent waiting and do some
thing definitely to terminate hostil-
tiles. Yet the authors proposal,
though it may involve the exercise
of force, is made in the spirit of
neutrality. 1t is thoughtful and
sincere suggestion that as such
merits careful consideration. The

Doings Among Rural Schools

The Yorklyn School Canning
Club under the guidance of Mrs. F.
c. Snyder Newport, Del, made a
markedly successful demonstration
of canning at the Delaware State
Fair last fall. Now is the time to
organize similar clubs in other
schools. Write to Mrs. Snyder for
help and guidance. Miss Anna M.
Glenn, teacher, is the club leader.
The teacher Of district II 1-2,
New Castle county, reports a Par
eEt-Teachers Association that is
doing things for the school. New
desks and additional books for the
library have been ordered. Miss
Isabel NJ. Huey is the teacher.
The County Superintendents are
all extraordinarily busy now. Wis
iting schools during the day, or
ganizing Parent-Teachers' Asso-
Citations evenings, and conducting
Teachers classes on Saturday, are
the duties that use up their time.
These labors are improving the
schools very positively and direct
ly. The improvement will be no.
ticeable very soon.

Governor And Legislators
Visit State Institutions

With view to ascertaining the
amount of appropriation which the
State charitable institutions may
need for the coming two years,
Governor Charles R. Miller, Sena-
tors Charles NJ. Wharton, and
Harry J Anderson, Speaker
Charles II. Grantland and Repre-
sentative w. H. Evans, chairman Of
the House Committee on approp-
riations, on Saturday morning in
spected the State Hospital at Farm
hurst.
The last appropriation for two
years, for the State Hospital, was
$145,OOO, while the trustees desire
an increase of $4,000 for the COM
ing two years. They also ask for a
bond issue of $4,000 with which
to erect an additional building.
The State officials told Of their de-
sire to know Of the smallest amount
on which the hospitals could be
managed without impairing its eff
ficiency, as they desire to so shape
the States financial budget that it
will be unnecessary for the State
to issue bonds or borrow money.
After inspecting the hospital the
legislators came to Wilmington in
Governor Miller's automobile. They
conferred with the Delaware Com
mission for the Blind to ascertain
the lowest appropriation on which
it could get along the next two
years. The party viewed the ex-
hibit of State paintings at the Y.
M. c. A. and later had luncheon
together.

English Soldiers Parody
On Popular Song

From the British soldier in the
trench in Flanders, evidently still
in good spirits in spite of snow,
sleet, rain, mud, chilbain and rheu-
matism, comes a parody on the
popular song "The Little Gray
Home in the West. The lines were
composed by Lander Corporal H.
B. Jones, of the Queen Victoria
Rifles, territorial regiment. The
lines run:
I've little wet home in the
trench,
Where the transforms continually
drench,
There s dead COW close by,
With her hoofs towards the sky,
And she gives off a beautiful stencil
Underneath, in the place of a floor,
There s mass Of wet mud and
some straw,
And the Jack Johnsons tear
Thru the rain-sodden air
Ger my little wet home in the
trench.
There are snipers who keep on
the go,
So you must keep your snapper
down low;
And their star shells at night
Make deuce of light,
Which causes the language to flow.
The bully and biscuits we chew
For it days since we tasted stew,
But with shells dropping there,
There s no place to compare
With my little wet home in the
trench -

Rev. G. E. Reed, Of Wilmington,
in recent address upon the indus
trial system quoted the social creed
OF the Protestant Churches Of the
United States as formulated by the

 New York the eastern state start

 oak strong and grand. and somewhat
 reminiscent of Lincoln's career as 9

 used as a warning of bridges, cul
 certs, etc. This scheme of a clump attractive that it has been adopted in
 other states where birches will grow. The effect will be artistic and con-
 spicuous The white oak will show
 up beautifully in winter and is further
 recommended by age, running to 500 years. Because it is of slow growth the Norway maple and long lived hemlocks will be planted with it. New Jersey, plans to plant masses of American laurel at the entrance of towns, cities and historic spots. In Trenton the aim is to plant 13 laurels in honor of Washington and Lincoln,
 because at Trenton Washington pass ed under arches of laurels on his way to his first inauguration. Thir- teen is chosen as symbolical of the 13 original states. Fruit trees will be planted along the highway. Pennsylvania plans to be a wild
 garden and to preserve the forests along the highway, using masses of American laurel. This laurel com
 bined with hardy vines and perennials is to be used in profusion among the 13 original states, especially at en- trance to communities.
 Ohio passed a resolution at the an nUal meeting of the Ohio Federation of ,Woman's Clubs that the conserva- ton department be requested to plan for. the planting and improving of the Lincoln highway through Ohio to the end that in beauty and attractiveness it may be equaled by few and sur passed by none in the whole coun try" Here again the wild garden ef- feet will be used.

proposes to plant different kinds of trees so as to give variety of fol- iage along the road, particularly the oriental plane tree. This is an Eng fish species of the sycamore, a shape ly tree that requires no trimming, and whose foliage is not so dense as to obstruct the view of the scenery. The elm and the hardwood maple will also be used. all of them indi- genous to Indiana. The prairie rose and golden glow which grow in pro fusion in Indiana will add beauty to the highway. School children have been urged to join in the work.
 The Illinois legislature has appro- priated- a considerable sum for the historical studies necessary for lccat- ing the Lincoln Way" especially the road which Lincoln took in moving from Kentucky to Illinois.
 Illinois will have the assistance of the University of Illinois in working out it's planting scheme. The state institution has already promised to give planting plan for one mile of the highway The national road passes through Chicago Heights, IA miles south of Chicago. The women of the Chicago Political Equality League of Chicago have blazed the road leading to the highway from Chicago with yellow. It is the hope of Mrs. Sherman, general fedora tion conservation chairman, that the wo- mans clubs of Chicago will coop crate with the clubs along the main line to the highway in beautifyins these IA miles possibly by planting in accordance to the University of Illinois scheme,
 Iowa is known to be at work but it's report has not yet been turned in
 Nebraska has reported that an ap- peal will be made to every federated club in the state to aid either by pur- chasing trees and planting them or by contributing funds. Efforts will be made to get the legislature to contribute trained forester to eX- anime the trees and teach the wo- men of Nebraska their value and care.

Poli- tical difficulties have delayed the se- lection of route in various place.
 Utah shows interesting work. The women there plan to use the pines of the hills, the cottonwood and the Sega lily. the state flower. These Utah women have discovered in the Sega lily another symbolism of Lin colns character, they write-its life giving qualities, for when the first pioneers came into the state and were unable to find other food they used the roots of the Sega lily and found them nourishing and palatable. Where nothing else will grow, cactus and sage brush will be used to mark the highway In the salt fields. where absolutely no vegetation takes root. the women of Utah plan to use blocks and figures of salt.
 Nevada presents unusual difficult ties The road stretches for $50
 miles often through desert where for 40 or 30 miles there is no habi- tation, no water and no possible waA of irrigating.
