be the Offices of the executive Of
ficers of the college, a dining hall
10 accommodate at least $50 and
rooms suitable for the various So
cial activities Of the undergradu-
ates.
The architects have allowed
S225,OOO for the Science Hall, and
after frequent meetings of the
committee and members of the
faculty, the architects have pre-
sented design for the new
Science Hall which appears to
meet the requirements for at least
ten years. This building will
house the agricultural and chem
ical departments.
1t was decided to take immediate
steps to convert what is known as
the Newark Post property into a
library, which can be done for ap-
proximately 5000. The present IL
brary will be used as a suitable
and very much needed Students
Club operated under the supervi-
sion of the Y. M. C. A. The cost
of repairing and furnishing will be
taken care of by private subscrip-
tion. Work on the buildings will
be started early in the spring.
DR.. S. c. Mitchell, president of
the college. in his report recon-
mended the appointment of a COM
mittee to extend extension activi-
ties to the industries of the State.
He also referred to the generous
assistance which individual citi-
zens of the State are extending to
students in need of help.
The committee appointed to
make recommendations relative to
; a permanent policy for the Sum
!, mer School reported. All powers
given to the trustees were placed
in the hands of DR.. Mitchell, and
, power given the president to select
his dean and faculty. The courses
, according to the Act of the Gen,
eral Assembly will be mapped out
conjointly with the State Board OF
>. Education.
J. H. Hossinger Of the Agricult
ural committee, gave the report o.
o the Experiment Station and Agri

Delaware Farmers Urged To
Exhibit At State Corn Show

The Ninth Annual State Corn
Show will be held in Firemen's
Hall Seaford, Del, December S-ll,
1915. Sussex County produces
more corn than any county in the
State. According to the census OF
1910 the yield of corn in Sussex
County exceeds 100000 bushels.
The Corn Growers Association is
expecting large number of exhib-
it's from all parts Of the State and
particularly from Sussex county.
The Association offers cash prizes
amounting to $500 for the best ex-
hibits of corn, small grains and
seeds. 1t is hoped that larger
display of wheat and legume seeds
will be made this year, as the as
sociation recognizes the import
ance of these crops as next to that
of corn. The State of Delaware is
becoming we'll known for its pro-
duction of cowpeas, soy beans and
crimson clover seed.
Through the interest and activ-
ity of the Seaford Board of Trade
a number of Special Prizes do
mated by the business men of Sea-
ford will be awarded to exhibitors
from Sussex County.
The Association is aware that
the yield and quality of the corn
this year is not equal to that OF
last, yet this-should not deter the
corn growers from exhibiting as
conditions are much the same
throughout the State. The prizes
are offered for the best grown this
year. 1t will be noted from tht
premium list that in several
classes, competition is restricted
to growers within county. Thi
will insure fewer handicaps to tn,
exhibitor and a wider distribution
of premiums.
Exhibitors at County Shows ar
especially urged to enter the Stat
contest.
All grain growers are invited t
become members of the Associa
tion.
The program consisting of ad
dresses and demonstrations o
grain growing and soil improve
ment, is as follows

IMPORTANT MEETING

The meeting of the Board Of

of the most important in the his
tory of the institution. Not only

the board by H. Rodney Sharp,
chairman of the new development
committee, of the gift of $5OO,OOO
to the college, but Mr.. Sharp also

The members of the Board at

Professor Counts is a graduate of
Baker University, Kansas, and
comes to Delaware from the Uni
versity of Chicago. The matter of
Investigating the subject of Mar

H. Harvard, and DR.. E. V. Vaughn
was appointed to consider the mar

EDUCATIONAL VALUE
OF INSTITUTIONS
Commercial And Industrial
Possibilities Discussed


An illuminating discussion of
the educational problems of an in
dustrial community was given
Monday evening at Delaware Col
lege by Professor William S.
Franklin, formerly of Lehigh Uni
versity. The lecturer developed
the contrast between the boyhood
life of a youngster in a modern in
dustrial city and the boyhood life
of a youngster in a new country
like Kansas in the sixties. His sub
ject was "BilPs School and Nine"
Professor Franklin is an enthus-
iastic believer in vigorous compe-
titive play and in work-of the
kind that earns wages.
Professor Franklin spoke briefly
of the value of play as training
in application, saying that there
never yet was boy who dreamed
of ice cream sundaes while play
ing ball. Play is a training in ap-
plication. That certainly is a par
adox; and yet everyone knows that
play is the first thing in life to give
rise to that peculiar overwhelming
eagerness which alone can bring
every atom of ones strength in to
action. A b ity to focus ones
whole mind upon an undertaking
and to apply ones whole body in
concentrated effort is what our
boys and girls are most in need of
and vigorous competitive play
serves better than anything else,
if, indeed, there is anything else
to create it.
Professor Franklin spoke briefly
of the problem of the energising of
llay. Strenuous play leads tc
strenuous work. Play ball. Scarce.

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are quoted a few Of the repre-
sentative cattle sales for today:
Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, May 2S.-Horse market is
going rather slow today. The limited
buying attendance is causing the inert
market. At the start of the week there
was good demand when orders were
plentiful, both from local and outside
buyers. Quite number Of horses
were shipped from here at the start
of the week. This demand has dimin-
ished now and horses are moving very
slow at the prices. While rates show
no change from last week, it is hard
to effect sales, as buyers have no out
let for the stock.
Army horses continue to show &C
ton. It seems receipts Of the latter
grade can not be too large to meet ap-
proval of the inspectors. The order
from the British and French govern
ments has been enlarged and many
horses for the latest orders will be
furnished from Chicago. Traders be-
lieve that the popularity of the army
type horse on the market will continue
for some time to come.
During the first four days Of the
week there have been about 1000
horses received at Chicago. against
295S for same days last week. 1863
a year ago and 1,49o for corresponding
period two years ago.
