BEGIN REVIVAL Effort

TIL first night of evangelistic ser
vices at the First United Presbyterian
Church, Third and BrOome streets,
gave promise Of splendid results. The
Rev. B. Frank White, evangelist Of
Jersey City. n. j.. was greeted by a
well-filled house of attentive listeners,
which inspired the preacher to deliver
a forceful sermon on the subject "A
Revival of the Church" He took for
his text, "Will Thou not revive us
again, that Thy people may rejoice in
Thee~
Mr.. White said in part: "The
church's greatest need today is not
more men, not more women, not more
young people, greatly as all these are
needed, but the greatest need of the
church is a revival of spiritual power.
And this revival can come only as a
result of more real prayer in the life
of the church-member, more earnest
study of the Word of God and a re-
vival of family religion in the home"
Mr.. White will preach each even
ing of the week at o'clock The mu-
sic will be directed by Mr. Moffett.

Good FRIDAY HOLIDAY
BILL PASSES SENATE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del, Feb
23.-Members Of Senate and House
started in today with the idea of hold
ing sessions until late tonight. al
though no formal action for a night
session had been taken.
Senator Gormley's bill to make
Good Friday a legal holiday in this
State was passed by the Senate, SEN
ators Frazier, Hoffecker and Webb
voting in the negative. This bill, No.
l in the Senate calendar, had been
reported out on its merits.
Senator Gormley. father of the bill,
made a plea for its enactment.
"The bill is supported by a healthy
public sentiment which is absolutely
non-sectarian," said Senator CORN
ley, "as observance of the day is no
longer confined to any particular
sect or denomination. That is as it
should be, for on that day the entire
Christian world is in mourning for
the death of Christ AS we love to
teach the little one the wonderful
story of the Child of Bethlehem, let
us also by a proper observance of
this day teach the little ones the story
of the scenes that were enacted cen
turtles ago on Good Friday, when the
little babe grown to manhood was
crucifed on the cross.
The Senate killed Senator Ander-
sons bill to amend the State Consti-
tuition by permitting consolidation Of
one or more county Offices created by
the Constitution or abolishing of one
or more of such offices. The hill re-
quired a two-thirds vote to be passed.
The Republicans supported and the
Democrats opposed the bill.
Senator Frazier's bill providing that
meshes of nets used for fishing be-
tween high and low water mark in
the Delaware river and bay shall be
two inches stretched measure, instead
of ? 1-2 inches as at present, was
passed unanimously.
Senator Frazier explained that the
1-2 inch meshes are too large.
Senator Barnard's bill TO extend the
open season for taking oysters from
waters in Kent county was killed. Mr.
Barnard being the only member to
support it.
Upon motion Of Senator Newton. his
bill to authorize the Sussex County
Levy Court to borrow $4,000 for fur
nishing the New Court House was
stricken from the calendar.
The Senate passed Senator Walkers
bill to create a new eloctioa district
in the Seventh Representative district
New Castle county. Senator Walker
said the bill was designed to shorten
the distance voters have to go to the
polls.
Senator Gormley said the bill was
not a partisan measure.
The Senate Revised Statutes Com
mittee reported favorably Senator
Harris bill for a legislation amend
ment to grant votes to women.
The members of the committee, Sen
ators Newton, chairman; Walker, An
erson, Hart and Wharton, voted
unanimously to report the bill fay-
ably. Senator Harris will call up
the hill for final action today or to-
morrow. A similar bill, which was
Introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Salisbury, was reported out

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del. Feb.
Senator Hickman, chairman of
the Senate committee on cities and
towns, and Representative Rash.
chairman of the House committee on
municipal corporations, today re-
ceived the following letter from the
Alumni Association of the Wilmington
High School:
Wilmington, Del, Feb. %, 1915.
Dear Sir:-"During the extended
hearing your committee most patiently
gave to the consideration of the bill
before your body that amends the
charter of the Board of Public Educa-
ton in Wilmington, certain statements
were made on behalf of the Board of
Education that we're likely to be con-
fusing and misleading. You will re-
call that the speaker for that body
called upon Superintendent Clifford j..
Scott, and asked him to testify as to
the work of the board. This action,
as was clearly evident, forced Prof.
Scott into a most embarrassing posi-
ton, and the questions asked him
were so narrow in their scope and so
confining that the answers of the
superintendent in explaining the
school situation gave a misleading i'm
preston. The Alumni Association at
the time fully realized this, but we're
unwilling to add to the embarrass-
ment of Prof Scott, who was called
upon to testify for a body to whom
he owes his employment, and which
will, before June next, have to con-
slider his re-appOintment Thus the
association refrained from putting
questions. knowing that there would
be a proper time to correct such inn
pressions, and TO submit facts and fig
ures over which there can be no dis
pute And that time is now.
THE Board of Education endeavor-
ed by interrOgating Prof. Scott to es-
tahlish two points. viz: % That the
cost of administration is low, and (2i
that the professional side Of the
schools is high. From these the
board drew the conclusion that the
administration of that body must be
highly efficient
"The Alumni Association does not
for one moment dispute either point
but il does differ in the conclusion
drawn by the board from these two
statements. Unless properly consid-
cred. the above conclusion would
seem TO be correct. but such cOnclu-
sion is most fallacious, and we beg to
submit herewith facts substantiated by
actual figures. showing that such con-
clusion is fallacious and misleading,
