Educational Work Will Be
Resumed In This City
on Monday Night
GOVERNMENT WILL
ASSIST IN THE WORK

Through the action OF Superintendent
of Schools Clifford J. Scott, the public
schools of Wilmington have joined the
ranks of over $50 other cities and towns
throughout the United States in cooper
ating with the Bureau of Naturalization
of the United States Department of
Labor in its national movement for the
Americanization OF the candidates for
citizenship and the removal Of the hy
phenated portion from the title toI
American citizenship.
Superintendent Scott has advised the
Commissioner OF Naturalization that the
night schools of Wilmington will open
on Monday night. Glasses which may be
attended by foreigners will be held in
schools Nos. TO- l6 and 8, aud instruc-
ton will be given in the common

Last year there were Gl0 persons who
applied for citizenship in New Castle
county. Since July l. 1910, l.207 aliens
Of the county have declared their inten-
tion, and $50 have filed final apphca-
tions for citizenship.
The necessity for the education Of
aliens residing in New Castle county IS
shown by the following figures taken
from the latest available statistics:
"1he foreign born white population OF
Wilmington in 1910 was ls.67s or 1916
per cent of the total population. OF
this number 6.754 were males who had
attained th,r majority, and only 2.S72
were shown 10 have been naturalized.
"In 1910 there were in the city OF
Wilmington 2,l0l males of voting age
who were cIassed as illiterate. OF these
,436 were foreign born whites and only
l25 were native whites, the percentage
Of illitcracy being 2l.3 for the former
and or for the latter.
"ln 1900 there were ,23S residents OF
the city Of Wilmington 10 years Of age

SUSSEX FARMERS HEAR
OF MODERN METHODS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
BRIDGEVlLLE. Del, Nov. 13.-W.
r. Coale. a well known speaker of Del
aware City delivered an address. en-
titled, "Modernizing the Community"
before the members of the Bridgeville
Grange this afternoon. The speaker is
a great believer in the idea which the
college favors of bringing general util-
titles to the rural sections as well as
20 the city. this being the main theme
of the address.
Mr.. Coale said in part: For a start
ing point in colonial life on the west
bank of the Delaware river o. Della
ware Bay, historians are obliged to
come to Sussex county. II was in this
county that the first settlement was
actually made and although this col
Ony was soon utterly destroyed by the
Indians. il proved in after years to
have been the creating OF a State But
this is not the only thing for which
Sussex county is famous. Her heavy
shipments of small fruits of such eX-
cellent quality to all the large cities
of the New England and middle west
ern states. has familiarized her name
in these cities as a household word
especially at the table"
In bringing out the main point of
the address, the speaker continued: IF
is a matter of avoiding Incidence, of
preventing waste, of having large pro-
duction and proper distribution that
are factors in mOdernizing a commun-
ity. When we speak of a modern
community we mean one up to date,
but our eastern communities are not
up to date when compared with some
of our western communities, for these
eastern communities cannot be said
to be up to date
"The grange organizations are doing
well their part Can community cen
tcrs. consolidated schools, communi-
ty laundries, extension of rural tele-
phone systems. more good roads, rapid
transportation facilities, and modern
conveniences in the home, and all
these things be brought to rural com
munities? Well, they are being brought
( gradually, and by all working together
they can be brought much more rap
idly.
Good roads and automobiles can
be turned to practical purposes and
4 laundry centers can send out for col
Election and distribution, whole fam
lilies washes, economically and regu-
larly to the great relief of household
help. by proper ors anized efforts and
efficiency.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUs
Prrnaenf Ancrioau SooieD for Thin

He rose to be vice-president. presi-
dent and at last chairman Of the
board Of directors Of the system. He
was connected with many other large
enterprises in Canada and elsewhere,
became patron Of the arts and gov
ernor of McGill University. He was
knighted for his services by Queen
Victoria In 1894 and thenceforward tho
former little railway yard boy Of Joliet
was known as SirWilliam Van Horne.
From the time he started to earn
his living In the Illinois town TO the
time he was taken back there for bur
al short time ago, he made every
moment count. Not one was wasted.
Every boy or girl who wishes to rise
will do we'll to ponder how Sir William
Van Horne did 1t, by being thrifty
with his time.
The European war has been tho
means, in many ways, Of bringing homo
to the American people their lack of
thrift. They have found that many of
the things they have been depending
on foreign countries for, could be pro-
duced at home. Money has been so
plentiful with us that II has seemed
easier for us to send 1t abroad for things
which, with the right amount of energy,
we could manufacture at home.
A recent bulletin Of the Ohio Agricul-
'tural station brings up the subject Of
the cessation for the time being Of the
importation of potash salts used in
commercial fertilizers. II Is stated In
the bulletin that during the winter
months when the animals are fed In
the barns and yards, 100, 900, 900 pounds
Of potash is produced in Ohio alone.
Most of this is absorbed and carried into
the rivers, therefore, lost-a sinful waste

RIGHT TO FULL PARTNERSHIP
Writer combats idea That Women
Should BE Looked Upon as Nat
urai Dependents.

A woman's pocketbook. even though
she belongs to the wealthiest fam
lilies, has its distinctive limitation.
This fact was brought out in connec-
ton with "self.sacrifice" day for the
benefit OF the National Suffrage ASSOC
c'aticn. Women who work for liv-
ing and who are economically indie
pendent, give more generously than
do men, Women of wealth and leis-
ure, on the other hand, from whom
naturally most help would be expect
ed, often have little money they can
call their own with which to help the
causes that appeal to them. What
ever may be said of the unmarried
daughter who is treated as a depend
ert in her fathers house, II Is great
injustice when a married woman is
not looked uron as a full partner
with her husband in all the business
OF life, but is compelled to occupy the
place OF a dependent asking favors
of her husband. The wife who rears
q family of children and who either
performs or directs the work of the
household ought to be looked upon as
full partner with her husband In
everything he does, and be spared
the humiliation of being made to feel
she is dependent upon him for gifts,
sometimes grudgingly bestowed. There
are some husbands, possibly an in
creasing number. who share their in
comes with their wives, or who con
slider that all their possessions arc
held jointly, but there are many mer
still under the spell of the day when
in the eyes of the law, woman was
looked upon more as a chattel than
human being-Leslie's

Good News for Fat Folk.

Fat folk, take heart. Would you re-
duce your overample girth lines and
return to your former sylphlike
selves? It's easy-likewise pleasant.
All you need is moral courage and "a
bunch of celery. Sounds reasonable,
Ell? This was the cheering informa-
ton which seeped into various show
shops and lobsterias today, and
caused no end of happiness to some
of those who are getting to the point
where increasing avoirdupois is great
~ endangering their several chances
for artistic or financial success. Half
a dozen front row girls and several
stars have reduced from the heavy
weight to the bantam weight class
lately. How did you do it?' is the
question asked. And the reply is eel
cry" Celery for breakfast, celery for
lunch, and celery and glass of wa
ter for dinner. IF you follow this
diet for a month you can take off 20
pounds" said Broadway favorite. 1t
Is believed that a large number will
go to the moral courage and celery
cure with a rare relish during Lent.

AneIen. Carriers Of MESSAGES.

1t was the custom Of the couriers
of the middle ages to carry silver
beads in their mouths to lessen thirst.
In certain districts OF India which are
not traversed by railways the ancient
couriers still survive and carry mails
from village to village. In the jungle
districts they carry bells about their
necks to brighten away tigers. The
American Indians had their swift run
ners, who carried messages In times
of war between allied tribes or from
the warriors In hostile territory to
their native villages. and extraordi.
nary tales are told Of their swiftness
and endurance.
The running messenger in Europe
was succeeded by the mounted mes
senger, and as civilization progressed
systems OF couriers were established
which slowly evolved into the mod
ern system of posts.
