KENT COUNTY PUB
LISHES SCHOOL REPORT
A Live School At Harrington

a Live School At Harrington
''The annual Report of the In
spectors' of the Kent County
School Commission has been issued
during the last week, in neat PAM
phlet form, from the press of tn,
Milford Chronicle, Milford, DELE
ware. In addition to the general
survey the book gives a brief ac-
count of each of the schools of the
county. In the Introductory re-
marks the commission. composed
of John Carrow, Theodore Town
send. and w. Denney Hazel. says:
eve would like for all people
to realize the attitude of certain
class of men whose antagonism to
the public school is the worst
enemy the school system has to-
day. This class is made up of
those whose only active interest is
to cut down all money to the bar
est skimping so as to keep within
the law, for the support of the
schools. The comfort and advan-
tages of the children mean nothing
to such men, and they are always
active in the rural districts where
their efforts are most effective. For
this reason, the men and women
who want their children to have
all the education possible for them
to get, and all that they are pay
ing for at the present time. must
attend the school elections and
vote into the school boards men or
women who do not realize the nee
essities for raising more money.
and for getting the best for the
money they are expanding for
public school education.
A splendid report is given of
the town of Harrington. Here the
school. under the direction of Pro-
fessor Snyder, has made remark
able gains. In several of the
grades civil government and his
tory have received special atten-
ton, and the children have re-
sponded to the efforts to get re-
suits in a way that surprised even
the most enthusiastic. An interest
in domestic science has been
created, and now the pupils serve
hot lunches to those who attend
from a distance. The school has
established testing department
in agriculture which is doing
splendid work. The report gives
generous share Of the credit
from the condition of the school to
the Parent Teachers Association.

MIGHTY TASKS

To those gentlemen of the DEM
ocratic party upon whom will fall
the honor of presiding at the St.
Louis convention is due, in large
measure, the sympathy of their
fellow-citizens. 1t will require
more than tact and cleverness to
pitch their speeches to a key that
will both satisfy the White House
and appeal to the voters of the
country. Theirs is the duty of
telling of the deeds of the Admin
istration in terms of FEASIBILITY
and effectiveness. This is task
before which any but the hardest
of souls would finch.
The first problem that will con-
front these keynote orators will
be that of how to avoid the dis
cussion of many of the matters
that are in the front of the mind
of the people. How will they ex-
plain the somersaults in policy
which have been one of the lead
ing features of Mr.. Wilson's ad-
ministration? 1t is probable
that nc Government Of this or of
any other country has turned
about-face on so many issues of
national Importance. How will
they explain the lightning change
from a public foe of preparedness
to a vocal champion of it within
the short course of one year.
How will they reconcile the mes
sage to Congress of President
Wilson in December of 1914 with
his speeches on his tour in behalf
of greater army and navy? At
which time was he expressing his
real sentiments?
What will be the bursts of elo-
quence that will explain satisfac-
torily the acrobatic reversal
upon the subject of free sugar?
Was Mr.. Wilson correct when he
insisted upon the tariff being
taken off from sugar in his per-
sonally-conducted tariff law, or
was he right when he consented
to have that portion of the law
amended? He certainly could
not have been right on both occa-
sions. His apologists have ex-
planned this action on the ground
that it was absolutely necessary
to raise more revenue for the
government. Do they mean to
declare that principle may so cas-
lily be sacrificed to dollars and
that the President proceeds along
such a line of action?
In what burning words will

MEXICO WILL PROTECT
PAPER MONEY ISSUES
To Replace Present Currency With
Notes, Based on Gold Reserve,
Less Easily Counterfeited.

ME&1CO CITY. February 2S.-Gen
Carranza has made public a manifesto
in which he assures the-nation that pa
per money issues Of the constitution
alists will not be repudiated but will
be considered a sacred loan made nee
essary by the fight for Mexican lib
erty, and will be redeemed as rapidly
as a sound economic policy permits.
The manifesto promises that the pres
will be supplanted by new issue.
which it will be difficult to falsify.
This new issue. he announced. will not
exceed od0. o00.0 and will be based
on gold reserve to be slowly accumu-
lated from the following sources:
Five million dollars in gold now on
deposit in the national treasury and
foreign banks: 100000 in bullion
from past accumulations: $1,000, 900
from the commission regulating the
henequen market in Yucatan; moneys
received from the sale of public lands;
gold received for mining taxes: pro-
ceeds from interior loans guaranteed
by national resources to be designated
byNhe first chief and MORTGAGE BILE for
$10,0O0,000.
Stress is placed in the manifesto on
the assertion that financial rejuvena-
ton must depend on the economical de-
velopment of the country's resources
rather than upon loans from banking
Institutions, and that redistribution OF
taxes will be an important factor in
working out the problem of the paper
dollar, which is now worth cents in
American gold.

Principle, Not Expediency.

THE point in national affairs, gentle
men. never lies along the lines of ex-
pediency. 1t always rests in the field
of principle. The United States was not
founded upon any principle of expe-
diency: it was founded upon a profound
principle of human liberty and of hu-
manity, and whenever it bases its pol
icy upon any other foundations than
those it builds on the sand and not
upon solid rock.
1T seems to me that the most en-
Tightening thing man can do was
suggested by something which the Vice
President said tonight. He complained
that he found men who, when their at
tention was called to the signs of
spring, did not see the blue heaven,
did not see the movement of the free
clouds, did not think of the great
spaces of the quiet continent, but
thought only of some immediate and
pressing piece of business. 1t seems
to me- that if you do not think Of the
things that lie beyond and away from
and disconnected from this scene in
which we attempt to think and con-
clude you will inevitably be led astray
Il would a great deal rather know
what they are talking about around
quiet fresides all over this country
than what they are talking about in the
clOakrOOmS of Congress

TO TAKE POST OFFICES

Bill Offered in House Would Elimi-

From Department.

To take the post Offices out of politics
entirely and eliminate all forms of
patronage from the Post Office De-
jartment is the object of legislation
framed by Representative George Hol-
den Tinkham of Massa chusetts, who
introduced in the House today a bill
which is the result of considerable
study of the subject. and which has
the backing of the National Civil Serv-
ice Reform League.
The fact that first. second and third
class postmasterS are appointed by the
President, alwayss at the behest of a
party boss. shows that the post office.
which is the greatest business nstl-
tuition the people own, is in the hands
of politicians first. last and all the
