sent to each teacher in the State
blanks designed for the conservation
of the health and for the promotion of
progress of the pupils, by requiring
tests made of the eyes, ears, nose and
throat The examinations will be
made of the scholars as they enter the
schools of the term just opening and
when it is certain that all of the pu-
pills have registered that intend to
register for the year, the teacher is
instructed to send in the reports to
the State Board of Education, so that
the board may secure the results and
so tabulate them that they may be
presented to the next Delaware Legis-
lature in the hope that some legal
provision may be made for the per-
manent health inspection of the chill

SHOT ACCIDENTALLY.

Two of the most experienced gun
rors in Milford had an accident last
Monday morning, which resulted in
nainfui injuries for one of the prin-
rinaIs Harry B. Windsor and Thad
windsor went to the haunts of squir-
rels on Monday morning last for the
Durpose of getting some of the lit
tle animals for their table use. They
were hunting along the edge of corn
field which border on a woods where
tbe SQUIRRELS make their home, and
Harry Windsor had been successful
in bagging nine squirrels while Thad
had not killed any. They separated,
one walking in one direction, and the
other going in another direction but
around the same field. Thad came to
a place where the squirrels had been
cutting the green corn and dragging
il TO the bushes near at hand, and at
that point he sat down under one of
tbe bushes to wait for the coming Of
fine animals. While sitting there the
MOSQUITOES were very vicious, and he
took a branch of the bush to fight the
nests away, and at the same time held
his gun at arms length with his right
hand. away from his body, with the
stock resting upon the ground. He
could see in each direction from the
bush under which he was sitting and
he distinctly saw his brother when
he came out along the edge of the
corn field and started to walk towards
him. He did not realize at the time
that his brother could not see him,
but that he could see the small twig
or branch that he was using to keep
away the mosquitoes, and that the
SQUIRRELS were running on the ground
and that Harry had killed several by
shooting into bushes where the tops
we're waving, he was likely to shoot
at it. He saw Harry put up the gun
and shoot, but as it was all done III
an instant, and as he supposed that
his brother saw him, he did not at
tempt, nor was there time, to make
his presence known. The right hand
Of Thad received the most of the shot
and he was also struck in half dozen
places in the forehead and scalp
above the eyes, but nothing more ser
iOus than stinging shot wounds re-
suited, as the hand holding the gun
protected the eyes and saved more
serious results. Here is the case OF
two experienced men with fire arms
in an accident, and it emphasizes the
fact that there is great danger in gun
hng, especially where men with lit
tie experience, or who are careless,
go into the fields together, for even
the careful and experienced are vic
tins Of circumstances over which they
have no control. Mr.. Windsor has
bandaged hand but is able to attend |
to business.

HIGHER EDUCATION FOR GIRLS.

Delaware College for women soon
will begin its second year. 1t is a
pleasure to note that the outlook is
exceedingly encouraging. The strong
appeal that the institution made to
the students who enrolled the first
year is shown by the fact that all ex-
cept one of them have enrolled for
their sophomore year. The favorable
impression made by the college upon
the public is indicated by the regis
tration of twenty freshmen, with an
enlargement of that registration re-
garded as certain. The College for
Women was established because it
was felt that Delaware girls should
have advantages equal to those ac-
corded Delaware boys.

A new VOL aer has come to the local
Japanese Y. M. C. A. in the person Of
DR.. u. Kawaguchf. Dr. ISawagucii
arrived in Honolulu. OIL the W1lhef
nina last Tuesday, coming, from
southern California. where HE has
been working and studying conditions
among his countrymen since March.
Previous to that time, for the past
three years, he has been in Chicago,
where he has been doing graduate
work in the school of theology. He
was awarded the degree of doctor OF
philosophy by the university In Aug.
ust and during the few months fol-
lowing taught special course on the.
history of the Christian church IN
Japan. se p ~ - p
The Japanese association got In
touch with DR.. waguehi through
DR.. Smaller Mathews when he was In
Honolulu last March. He was a
schoolmate Of Lloyd r. Killam of the
local association at William Jewell
college, and when Mr.. KiIlam asked
DR.. Mathews about him, the latter re-
piled by saying that he had just fin
Ished his work at the university and
would probably be willing to work in
Hawaii for a year or two before re-
turning to Japan. ~ +.
Mr.. KiIlam at once communicated
with DR.. KaWaguchi and arranged to
meet him at Los Angeles to talk over
the question of his coming to Homo
lulu as one of the secretaries OF the
Japanese association. Inc work here
appealed to DR.. Kawdguchi with the
result of his coming here this week:
He will give special attention to
the religious activities of the associ-
alton, giving lectures both in Japa-
nese and English on questions relat-
ing to the various phases OF Chris
tianity in which the japanese com
munity is interested DR.. Kawagu-
chi speaks English very readily, hav-
ing lived in America ia years. Alter
graduating from William Jewell col
Iege in 1909, he went to the Rochest-
er, N. Y, Theological seminary, grad
uating in 1911. He then went to Chi
cago university on a special scholar
ship won for high grades. While in
Chicago he kept his record for high
scholarship and was able to gradu-
ate from that institution with mag
ma cum laude.'
DR.. Mathews, in speaking of DR..
Kawaguchfs work, said:
He is one of the best scholars the
university divinity school has ever
graduated and this means much when
we remember his natural handicap
en- account of language"
DR.. Kawaguchi has already been
given a warm welcome by the lead
ers CT the local Japanese community.
The Japanese association will give
reception to all of its members and
friends next Tuesday evening to vel
come him and give him an Opportuni-
ty of knowing the young men with
whom he is to work during the year.

THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES
You Can Have Filled and Use at Home
A FREE PRESCRIPTION

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eye-strain or other eye-weak.
nesses? If so, you will be glad to
know that there Is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were failing, say
they have had their eyes restored
through the principle of this wonder
full free prescription. One man says,
after trying it: Il was almost blind !;
could not see 20 read at all. Now
can read everything without any glass
es and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully: now they feel fine all the time.
1t was like a miracle to me-" A lady
who used it says: THE atmosphere
seemed hazy with OF without glasses,
but after using this prescription for
Is days everything seems clear. J
can even read fine print without glass
es" 1t Is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them in
a reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen their eyes
so as to be spared the trouble and ex
pense Of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the
simple rules. Here is the prescrip-
ton: Go to any active drug store and
get bottle of DIPLOMA. Fill a two
ounce bottle with warm water, drop
IN one DIPLOMA tablet and allow to dis.
solve. With this liquid, battle the
eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per
ceptibly right from the start and in
Illumination will quickly disappear. II
your eyes are bothering you, even
little, take steps to save them now
before it is too late. Many hopelessly
blind might have been saved If they
had cared for their eyes in time
