VIOLA.

Mr.. Fred Beniof, the well-known Viii
mington fur merchant, is now entertain
ing at his summer home in Viola, the
noted editor and philanthropist, Mr.. Jacot
Walter Greenberg, of New York and Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Greenberg and his CO.
worker. Mr.. 3. Mendelson, arrived al
Viola last Saturday accompanied by their
secretaries, Ben Landay and Irving Marx.
Since his arrival the editor has been over
whelmed with honors showered upon
him by the people of Viola and FELTON,,
and an elaborate program has been ar
ranged by his host for the remainder of
his stay.
Mr.. Greenburg. it will be remembered,
was the gentleman who. as president of
the well-known American Society For
The Uplift OF The Unfortunate, became
engaged in a notable controversy with the
Rev. Billy Sunday. The incident brought
forth considerable newspaper comment !;
but, after a series of letters which were
exchanged between Messrs. Sunday and
Greenberg, the matter was amicably set
tied.
Upon his return to New York, Mr.
Greenberg proposes to continue his phil
work. He is at present en-
gagged in writing a new book, Morality
and Social Reform, " which it is hoped
will have even a greater popularity than
his voluminous work, Ethics and Their
Relation to Civilization. "

has been before the people of Milford so
long that they have lost hope for any
progress in methods or improvement of
conditions; but if it is necessary to have
great calamity before any result can be
obtained, then we hope that the property
of those who have cried out for relief
will be spared, and that of those respon-

GREENWOOD.

James Mitchell met with serious
accident last week while assisting in the
work of building the new bridge al
/ WoOdenhawk. He was working about
the pile driver, and in some way the
heavy weight used in driving the piles
was realised and in falling it caught his
fingers, which resulted in mashing all
of them from the hand. He has suffered
great pain since then, but is doing as
well as could be expected.

It is a distinct loss to any state for
an instructor in the public schools of
the calibre of Mr.. Wilbur Jump to re-
move to other fields of labor. This
young and energetic teacher formerly
served as principal of the Harrington
Public Schools, and under his manage
ment all branches of education in the
large schools of that town grew into
Importance in the educational system,
and of especial value to the children
of today in Harrington. The advanced
steps toward interesting the boys and
girls in public school education, under
his administration had brought about
results, which were watched not only
by the people of that town, but by
those interested in education in other
parts of this State. His departure
from Delaware is a distinct enrich
ment of the corps of instructors in
our neighboring State, Maryland, and |
the schools of Preston, Md, are for
tunate in falling into his care. The
fact under all this is, that the people
of Delaware must pay the salaries
necessary to retain the best talent and
the services of men and women, ca
pable of not only training children on
lines Of routine theoretical education,
but who are able to hold the interest
of the children, and at the same time
get them to make renewed effort to
get all that is possible from the pub
lie school advantages opened for them.
The man or woman who arouses a
purpose in the boys and girls to de-
velOp new and practical methods Of
training the mind while attending the
public schools, is a more valuable fac
tor in education than the man or wo-
man who has not that ability, but at
the same time is well equipped so far
as knowledge of the principles and
methods of teaching go. A good sup
ply of common sense is a valuable as
set, and we have too few of them to
lose to another state

1915 SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION:

The Summer School session of 1916
is drawing to a close. The work OF
the school has proved very instructive
Perplexing problems crowded the fac
ulty for solution the first day. These
problems were quickly solved by Dr..
Mitchell, president of Delaware Col
lege, and DR.. Chas. A. Wagner, dean
/ of the summer school, together with
others.
The questions before the summer
school faculty were the provision of
courses which would be the most ben
efcial to the majority of students, the
arrangement of courses in order that
they would not conflict, and the find
ing of satisfactory boarding and lOdg-
ing places for the students.
The work as a whole has been pro-
fitable. The academic work has been
very instructive and inspiring, be-
cause the professors planned the
courses so that they would be practi-
cal and comprehensive. Professor
McAvoy gave the summer school stu
dents the privilege of playing games
under his supervision in the gym
nasium and on the athletic field. As
result the students have been devel-
Oped physically, and they have OBJ
tanned a knowledge of various games
suitable for their pupils, such as in
door baseball, vOlley ball, tennis and
basket ball. Not only have the stu
dents profited directly from the class
room, but they have been helped to
great extent by the social gatherings
arranged by the faculty.
Another attractive feature of the
summer school session was the chap
el exercises each morning, which in |
cluded interesting talks on some of |
the various phases of school work by |
the Professors, such as Short Cuts |
to Health" "The Study of Hygiene |
and Physiology in the Rural Schools" |
and THE Most Profitable Kinds of
Play"
The cause of education throughout
the State will be much benefited by
the summer school. The students at
the summer school represent the state
and they have a much better outlook
than they have ever had before. The
tendency of rural teachers has been
% teach in more or less mechanical
way, but now they will make the
courses in the rural schools more Wv
d and practical so the state shall see
/ wonderful expansion in school work.
The College faculty hopes to be able {
n the future summer school sessions
o give not only courses in elemen-
ary instruction, but to give advance !
Instruction to those teachers who de- c
ire to take such courses.

THE fire last Friday morning in South
Milford emphasizes the fact which we
have held up for the people to face for a
long time now, viz: that the Town of
Milford is at the mercy of the FIRE ele-
ment, and that there is no preparation
for meeting big fire and successfully
fighting 10 save destruction of property
on a large scale. 1t must be remember
ed that only few men now pull the
heavy carts and ladder truck for fully a
half-mile, and sometimes nearly full
mile to reach the FIRE, and by that time
much property has been destroyed, which
might have been saved had there been a
truck equipped with hose and chemicals,
for use in small fires where it would be
unnecessary to turn on the water. These
men are tired from dragging the fire ap
paratus, and when they got into service
their first energy is worn down. There
is a stobborn spirit existing in the present
Light and Water Commission of Milford,
which is dangerous to the safety of the |
peoples property. That commission ap-
pears to have the idea that they are the
private owners of the Light and Water |
plant of Milford, and operate it upon the
same narrow ideas of small private
business. How much longer must the
property owners of Milford put up with
this policy on the part of three or four
men? Is the Town of Milford so poor
that it can not protect itself from de-
struction? The business of the Light
and Water Commission of Milford is not
upon a plan that will meet the
in great crisis, and without
that ability, it is another case of criminal
unpreparedness. Will the people act for
or will the membership of ]
he present Light and Water Commission
get real line of action9 The method
If bookkeeping for the plant fails to 7
how and charge off for deterioration in
.ither the light or water departments, n
md the showing made each year is simply
he amount over and above the cost of
peration, the cost of supplies and the
interest charges. The plant has not
armed or deposited one penny in the
hiking fund for the redemption of its n
onds for nearly FIVE years. Why not
I'll the plant to private interests, and L
ay off all the bonds outstanding against Il
lie town, and use the balance if any for ~ M
