together with the corresponding
duties to humanity. 1t prints and
circulates literature bearing upon
these points among teachers of all
kinds. Active branches Of the
League have been established in
practically every State in the
Union. The central organization
allows each State 800 per year, to
cover expenses in carrying forward
the work.
All teachers in the schools of the
country; students in secondary
schools, normal schools, and col
leges; persons otherwise enlisted in
the general work Of education may
become members, without the pay
ment of dues, by signifying their
devotion to the League.
DR.. Mitchell in discussing the
purpose Of the School Peace
League declared GA moral judg-
ment in this country, through their
representatives in our population,
will find its way back to Europe.
To talk peace to the countries of
Europe now is like talking into the
face of a hurricane. They are not
at liberty to talk peace. In Ameri-
can population, however, we have
representatives Of all the warning
nations; we are neighbors; we APP
preclate peace; we appreciate
brotherhood. -
The speaker commented upon the
fact that just about one hundred
years ago the counsellors of Europe
met at Vienna. They spent the
winter remaking the map Of Eu-
rope, for just as fences are swept
away by food, so the boundaries
had been swept away by the great
wars of Europe. Only two of the
conclusions reached by the Con-
gress of Vienna abide today. One
is the neutrality Of Switzerland,
another is the suppression of the
African slave trade by internation-
al action. Both of these conclu-
sions which have stood the test of
time represent great moral ad-
vanceS.
If we want to run boundaries
that are stationary, we must work
to create an international mind,

Dinner,-Guest Of Honor, Presi-

Song, "And the Smoke Went Up
the Chimney just the Same"
Delaware s annual dinner has be-
come a State event-that has been
forced upon the attention OF every
body. The occasion this year, held
on last Saturday evening, made
good it's reputation and added a
smack of hope for the future. For
years. Delaware College moved
along in a quiet dignity, doing ex-
cellent work Of course, but taking
but little interest in State affairs.
The result was that the College and
it's true worth was not known out
side a small circle oE graduates and
personal friends. No one ever
thought of it as a State Institu-
tion-a real part or potential fac
tor in the life Of the Commonwealth
Men were graduated that played
important roles of citizenship-but
the institution-No. A few years
ago the Alumni Association threw
Delaware College on the front page
Of every newspaper in the State.
Since that time, columns Of free
advertising copy has been given be-
cause anything connected with
Delaware College is ne1Us. The re-
suit is a well-known story. Della
ware College is today a State insti-
tuition, not only in fact but in
name; not only in appropriations
but in service. It is about to be-
come the Clearing House for Della
ware. Well-but this is an account
Of the banquet.
An informal reception for DR..
Mitchell was held from $50 to s
o o'clock. This was the first oppor-
tunity many Of the graduates had
had Of meeting the new president.
In passing, it might be admitted,
he passed inspection and measured
fully to the demands Of curiosity
At 8 p. m. about 13O Of the Alumni
marched into the dining room.
One hundred and thirty is speak

in point Of noise, l should say
there were about a thousand. The

In the lobby, an old Grad said,
"He looks all right" but here is
the test. His address, full of facts
and inspiration, humor, and COM
nonsense, he gripped that body of
men and gained their enthusiastic
approval and support. Mentioning
the names, Purnell, Wolf, Harter
brought rounds Of applause. His
review Of conditions and glimpse Of
the future won him the backing Of
the Alumni.
Henry B. Thompson, a Trustee,
was the next speaker. Mr.. Thomp-
son outlined the work being done
by Frank Miles Day, the recently
elected Supervising architect. Mr..
Day is making prospectus dia-
gram Of campus and building de-
velopment that will take care of
growth of the institution for the
next 25 or so years. With this
completed, Mr.. Thompson express
ed himself as firmly believing that
some definite work would be ac-
complished. While he said that he
knew nothing definite of where or
how money would come, he knew it
would come. Toastmaster Marvel
said that Thompson said so, it was
so. And that was the impression
left on the Alumni.
Egmont Horn, Secretary of the
Association, was the next speaker.
Mr.. Horn gave report Of the
meeting Of Alumni Secretarys held
recently in New York. He is ad-
vocating the organization Of Glass

Court today suit against the Hatties-
burg Traction Co. for $2,205.24 actual
and punitive damages, claiming that
the Traction Company had wrongfuly
and Illegally refused to provide her
with electric light for her restaurant
The bill alleges that in July, 1915,
the Traction Company sought to col
lect $500 which they claimed Mrs.
Ates owed them, but which she claimed
she did not owe, and that on her re-
fusal to pay this amount, they discon-
tinued her service. That her place re-
mained in darkness for two weeks IN
til she moved across the street and
that the Traction Company still re-
fused to install lights unless she pro-
vided security for payment of her
bills, which she finally was forced to
do. She also accuses the Traction
Company of appropriating 1924 from
her gas meter to which it was not
entitled; names 5000 as the amount of
actual damages accrued as result
of loss of trade because of darkness
and $4,000 as punitive damages.

Leading members in the Philathea
Library are considerably discouraged
because many of the patrons of the
library refuse to pay the fines that
Eare assessed to them when they keer
a book out more than seven days.
The rules of the library provide that
Ia book shall remain out only seven
days and that for each day it is kept
out over the allotted time, the delin-
quent subscriber shall pay fine OF
five cents day.
1--WE assess the fines, but are un-
able to collect great many of them, II
said Miss Mayme Thompson, president
of the Philathea Union today. "Some
of the fines have been standing on our
books for as long as a year and al
though we have repeatedly tried to
collect them, the people who owe
/ them refuse to pay any attention to
our attempts. Nearly all of the fines
|are for small amounts, ranging from
| five to twenty-five or thirty cents and
there is no reason why they should
not be paid, so we have decided to
give all these people until October 5th
to pay up and after that date we are
going to publish the list who owe
fines and the amount they owe"
