the "related evils" among teach
ers-low pay and the habit of
treating their occupation as a
temporary one. "The old idea
that a parson should be poor in
order to be humble, the greater
the poverty the greater his hu-
mility, and therefore his right
eousness, seems sometimes to be
applied to the present day teach
er," he said. The speaker urged
the necessity of making of teach
ing more than a mere casual task,
and the Importance of loving ones
work. AS specific means of bet
terment he proposed a state or
ganization among the teachers of
Delaware, suggesting the summer
school as a fitting body to launch
such an undertaking. He con-
graduated the teachers upon hav-
ing new school journal and
urged them to lend to it their sup
port.
In closing Mr.. Vallandigham
referred to the great physical
growth that has come to Della
ware, and urged the Importance
of keeping step intellectually and
spiritually with m t erial pro,
gress.

ed the voices of all the students
enrolled in the summer school and

part singing may be feature of

club composed of about forty

The opening of the third week
at the Summer School finds the
students in all the classes in the
midst of the sessions work.
Glasses are held from 8.45 to 4.05,
the total enrolment having reach
ed one hundred and seventy. Res
idence Hall is filled with resident
students; there are a great many
commuters from Wilmington and
nearby towns, and other students
are scattered in boarding houses
throughout Newark. The Sigma
NJ fraternity house is open to
students for meals only during
the session.
Although the summer school in
far greater part is made up of
serious study classes, there are a
number of courses of popular
trend, which afford splendid op-
portunity for the townspeople,
any of whom are welcome. Among
these are the lectures on the Art
and Teaching of Composition, by
Mr.. Vallandigham, the last of
which will be given this Friday,
from S.45 to 925; the lectures on
U. S. History from 10.45 to 11.25,
by DR.. Mitchell; the course in In
! ternational Relations by Mr.. Car
ter, from 11.35 to 1915; know
1 Your Own County, by the var
! ious superintendent, from 1926 to
4.O5, and the class in music by
! Miss Lydia Kellog, from 1926 to
4 4.O5.
The last mentioned should be

stocked with pure bred and
grade cattle. The foundation for
a herd of registered Holsteins has
already been purchased, and Mr..
Arckoll has been instructed to
get a carload of grade cattle. A
foundation for a pure bred herd
of Berkshires has also been pur-
chased. Although it is planned
to make this herd one of the larg-
est in the state, there is no inten-
tion of developing a fancy herd.
Rather it is the purpose of the ar
rangement to direct attention to a
herd for utility purposes, the
products of which will be con-
sumed by the prisoners.
There will also be an extensive
poultry plant and steers will be
raised for home consumption.
Just as soon as the land can be
properly prepared new orchards
will be set. In connection with
this it is hoped plan can be de-
veloped by which the women pri-
soners may can the fruit and
growing vegetables during the
growing seasons for winter use,
thus giving them occupation and
at the same time instruction in

The plans as developed to date
seem ideal, and in perfect accord
with the most progressive reform
movements of the country. All
Delaware should be back of the
management and await with in
terest the development of the
plan into actuality.

OH, FOR A MOVIE! i!
Regular Film Chase Down
Sixth Street Today.
Insane Man. BarefOOted, Es-
capped From Asylum.

This morning at the state hospital,
John Haynes, who officials say is at
the asylum because he takes sudden
notions, suddenly found himself OBJ
sessed with the idea to leave and run
a footrace with himself. More than
that, Haynes left. While he and other
inmates were sitting down to the
breakfast table he bolted out the door
before attendants could stop him.
When he had put probably hundred
yards between himself and the build
ing two attendants started in pursuit.
Looking around, Haynes saw them
coming. Figuring that he could run
faster if he took his shoes off. the
escape suddenly sat down, pulled off
his footwear and taking a shoe in each
hand startled residents on West Sixth
avenue by fairly burning the DUST
toward Kansas avenue. A barefoot
man with a shoe in each hand, racing
over an ice cold pavement was some
thing out of the ordinary and West
Sixth turned out in force to witness
the event.
Then the telephone at the police sta
ton rang. "An escape is coming your
wayi Stop himi" roared a voice over
the wire Motorcycle Policeman WEIGH
and Detective Summers ran out the
Fifth street door and beheld Haynes,
who had a moment before changed
streets during his travelling. tearing
past the court house. The man was
headed off and captured in the alley
behind the police station by the two
officers and was later returned to the
hospital

RAILROADS ASK
HIGHER RATE ON
KANSASFRE!CHT
Seven in State Unite in Appli-
cation to p. e. C.
Want a 20 Per Cent Advance on
Intrastate Freight.
ARE LOSING MONEY, THEY SAY
Expenses Have Steadily In
creased for Years Past.
Hampered by Regulation, Su-
peryisiOn and Control.
Want a 20 Per Cent Advance on
Intrastate Freight.
ARE LOSING MONEY, THEY SAY

Seven Kansas railroads today Joined
in an application before the public
utilities commission for a twenty per
cent increase in intrastate freight
rates Applications for advanced
freight rates We're urged in petitions
filed by the Santa Fe, Rock Island,
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, M, X.
&. T, Frisco. and St Joseph & Grand
Island railroads. Existing rates are
declared confiscatory by the railroads
in view Of regulation, supervision and
control of public utilities.
Not since the filing of the passenger
rate case before the state utilities COM
mission in November, 1914 have Kan
sas railroads joined in such drastic de-
mands for relief Heavy losses under
existing intrastate freight rates are
charged by the roads affected by the
application. In addition to the twenty
per cent increase sought in all classi-
fications of freight rates, the roads ask
further increases in petroleum, crude
oil and slack coal rates.
No effort will be made by the seven
Kansas roads at this time to change
thei interstate freight rates. The fight
will be directed against rates now ex-
listing between points in Kansas. All
classificatio1.s and commodities are af-
fected by the sweeping petition and
the new rate means an increase of
millions of dollars annually in the rev
enues of the railroads. In the case of
the Santa Fe-which claims losses on
intrastate freight business for a period
of three years-the new rate would
mean an increase of two-thirds of a
million dollars annually. This show
ing is based. on an exhibit attached to
the petition and filed with the state
commission.
