HICKS FORECAST FOR JUNE

A reactionary storm period runs from
the 9Th to the 18th. This involves the
annual electric and magnetic crisis,
which is at its center every year on and
about June 11th. About this time, an
nually, the whole earth clouds, and even
the upper ether becomes supercharged
with magnetism and electricity, so that
an excess of lightning is everywhere
manifest throughout the nights. This
condition, as rule, continues all through
the month of June.
A regular storm period is central on
the 18th, embracing the 14th to the 18th.
This period is shown by the storm dia-
gram to be coincident with the center
of the summer solstice. The Moon is
in opposition with earth and Sun, and
at greatest declination south on the Is,
and in perigree, or nearest the Earth,
on the 10Th.
A reactionary storm period is central
on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
the 21st, 22d and z3d. The Earth is at
its turning point' on the 21st, with
Moon on the celestial equator on the
same day. 1t is at last quarter on the
22d, coincident with very close con-
junction of Saturn and Venus on the
same day. The conjunction of the
Moon with the planet Jupiter on the
24th, may also be considered among the
astronomic causes which affect the
elements about this time.
A regular storm period central on the
9th, reaching from the 25th to the
Both. The soltice period comes to an
end, and the Mercury period begins the
28th, or at the center Of this Vulcan
period. On and touching Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the
9th to the 30th, the storms of this
period will reach a crisis, day or two
earlier or later, in proportion as locali-
ties and sections lie east or west of each
other The Mercury influence will ex-
tend up to about the 10th of July, in
creasing the tendency to prolonged
cloudiness and promise of adequate rain
fall generally. -

l145 Sunday School session.
7.3O Evening Prayer and Address.
The festival of Whitsunday commem-
crates the coming of 1.-THE Comforter
which is the Holy Ghost promised by
our Saviour to His disciples, and waited
for by them with such eager hope and
expectation. 1t took place on the Jew
ish feast of Pentecost, the anniversary
of the giving of the law at Mount
Sinai A rushing, mighty wind filled
all the house where they were as
sembled, cloven tongues of fire rested
upon them. and they were enabled to
speak in all languages; and the great
multitude present from all countries
heard, each in his native tongue, the
wonderful works of God.
Not visibly, not with rushing wind
or tongues of fire does the Holy Spirit
descend upon US now when we gather
together in the temple of the Lord. Yet
He is present with US still, though un-
seen, at the front, or in the laying on
of hands, in prayer or sacred medita-
ton, lowering above US with gifts of
comfort and wisdom, ready to enter in
to every heart that will open to receive
Him. Let US then keep this blessed
feast of the Church with love, and
faith, and special prayer, that we may
never grieve or resist the Holy Spirit
of God, but that our whole lives may
prove His presence in our hearts. The
name Whitsunday may be derived from
Pentecost. The festival, like Easter,
includes also the Monday and Tuesday
following, tnat we may more fully un-
derstand its great Importance, and
enter more heartily into the true spirit
of its observance
Next Sunday, June 18th. Trinity Sun
day, the 211th., Anniversary of Old st.
Anne's, services will be held in the Old
Church. Service at 1890, the Rev. j.
J. Hall. will speak in the morning and

2. 80 in the afternoon. The public cor
daily is invited. Announcement cards
will be sent out only to those living out

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
TO THE PUBLIC: NO. II

At Present only an accident or a piece
of extra good fortune makes it possible
to learn a pupils school record after the
pupil has quit school, in almost any
public school outside of Wilmington.
Yet such records are frequently needed,
and the inability to get them imposes
serious loss of benefit upon young
people.
In each school there should be a
system of card records. One set. of
cards to contain the list of the pupils
now in school, the card should show the
pupils complete record, year by year,
as he passes through the school. An
other set of cards should be made up of
these who once attended the school but
left it. Another set of cards should be
used to give to pupils when they go
from one school to another. to be called
transfer cards. The transfer card
should contain a complete statement of
the pupils work in school up to that
time These transfer cards given to
pupils leaving one school to enter an
other, would in themselves be boon to
children who change schools during the
term, since it would enable them to fit
into the new school just where they
leave the former school, without
the usual loss of year or more in
schooling by being put back. An oak
case containing four drawers, one
drawer for each kind of cards and a
supply drawer, with the necessary
cards, would cost from $6 to So per
school room. This improvement should
be commanded by the State Board of
Education, the equipment supplied by
that Board, and the money appropriated
by the Legislature. The entire expense
need not be more than Sc, 900. If appro-
priated from the State Treasury, this
money will not come out of taxes paid
locally. The question before the legis-
lature and the citizens will be, should
this Sc, 900 be spent for such a system of
school records, or for some other pur-
pose?
CHAS. A. WAGNER,
Secretary of State Board of Education.

THE ROAD INSPECTED
New Castle County Officials View
Work on Boulevard
VISITORS PLEASED WITH TRIP

Arriving in Georgetown late Wednes-
day night. the delegation of New Castle
County officials who came down to in
spect the Coleman DUPONT road started
out from there Thursday morning to
make the inspection.
Leaving the DUPONT house at 8 o'clock
the party inspected a sample of Clan
dite movement laid four years ago.
This movement is of natural earth and
asphalt, costing approximately 80 cents
a square yard. 1t was impossible to
secure a steam roller to compress this
pavement, so a hand roller was used
This is the reason of the wavy surface.
1t is in good condition.
The party next inspected the con-
crete on Market street, laid in 1913
No repairs or maintenance have been
found necessary. Other concrete pave
n,ents were found to be in the same
condition.
Starting on the DUPONT road the first
600 feet in Hassamite, laid in 1912. Up
to the present time no Outlays have
been made on this pavement but main
tenance IS at present necessary. Next
to the Hassamite is 1, 200 feet of War
renite, laid in 1912. 1t was necessary
to repair places in this, due to the up
heaval of the concrete foundation. Next
is one mile of Amesite, laid in cold
weather, on an old concrete foundation.
The contractor is about to resume work.
Next to the Amesite is one mile of
water bound macadam, This will be
treated this year with some bituminous
material. The greater part of this
macadam is limestone, bonded with
limestone screenings. A short section
is trap rock, bonded with limestone
screenings.
Next to the macadam is concrete
pavement, with slabs fifty feet long.
Near the guard rail is a concrete slab
1886 feet in length, without a single
joint or crack. Ten per cent of lime
was used on this slab, but no reinforce
ment.
The remainder of the concrete pave
ment as far as Stockley, contains vari-
Gus experiments in different lengths of
slabs, different amounts of reinforce
ment, the use of lime, etc.
Leaving the dupont road, the party
followed the county road to point on
the dupont road about two miles north
of Millsboro. The first section of the
road showed slabs 100 feet long, with
no cracks. Various amounts of lime
were used in these sections at this
point.
The party inspected the concrete
mixer of the Atlantic Bitulithic Go.
The greatest amount of concrete lald
in one day, with this machine, was 460
lineal feet, all concrete being mixed for
II minutes. At the present time the
contractor is unable to get sufficient
men to run the machine at full capacity.
After leaving the concrete mixer of
the Atlantic Bitulithic Co., the party
went over the dupont road to Millsboro,
to inspect one of the machines of the
McNerney Construction Co. Here was
seen the method of culing the concrete
recently laid. 1t is covered with earth
and kept wet for IA days.
The next stop was at Frankford,
=. where the party inspected the complet-
ed section of the DUPONT road. The
party followed the county road to a
point about two miles north of Selby-
vile, and then the DUPONT road to the
n aryland line.
