EDGAR NJ. HoOPES, SIR.


T is our painful duty today to record the death of
Edgar NJ Hopes. sr. treasurer of The Evening
Journal Publishing Company 1t is made douby pain
by the fact that up to Saturday evening the hope
was entertained that he would survive the desperate
illness that for several weeks had afflicted him. The
announcement Of his death has come as a shock to
thousands OF friends and acquaintances in this and
other states There is a general feeling OF regret that
long useful and constructive life has ended Cou-
pied with it is widespread and profound sympathy for
his bereaved family the members Of which always held
first place in his heart
For the greater part OF his mature life Mr. Hopes
was identified. actively and effectively. in newspaper
and advertising work Through his social and busi-
ness connections he was known from end to end Of
The United States and in portions Canada and Eu-
rope. Il in the business end Of newspaper work
that he chiefly engaged and in which he displayed
such marked ability. lie also built up for himself
advertising agency that transacted large varied
and lucrative business
Mr. Hopes known best 10 wilmingtonians and
Delavareans as a former business manager and owner
Of the Wilmington Morning News. Following the sale
OF that paper he devoted himself to his advertising
agency until he became treasurer Of this paper
Although a man With an essentially commercial
mind, Mr. HooDes was quickly and easily stirred TO
sympathetic and generous action and his life was
filled with kind deeds so unostentatiously performed
that few persons except the benehcsres we're aware
Of their performance.
He interested intensely in the educational well
fare Of the children of Wilmington and the State at
large 1t was partly through interest and generous
support that the Civcs Department OF the Whining
ton High School organized and built up to such
large and useful proportions One OF his most recent
acts bearing upon the interests Of the school children
was the gift Of prize for oratorv 10 he COM
peteo Tor by Wilmington High School students In
pledgng himself to give that silver Gun he revealed
MS sympathetic heart by saying: 81 want 10 give
something that will be won by boy or girl ,vho
has done his or her best TO win prize and who has
just lost out. The cup accepted with the under
standing that it should go to such boy or girl w
regret exceedingly that death robbed him of uba,
undoubtedly would have been the pleasure Of being
present when the award made
The devotion of Mr.. Hopes his wife and sons an,
daughters and their social, educational and matera
welfare was apparent as to widespread ia
vorable comment. It seemed to be the chief aim q
his life to surround those and dear to him wit
every luxury it possible for him TO procure an
10 spare neither pains expense in contributing
their happiness. No who knows the family ca
fail TO appreciate what terrible blow it has suffere
through the death Of its head. When we express
Mrs. Hopes and the children our profound sympath
We feel that are expressing the sentiment of h
entire community.

THAT INTERSCHOLAsTIC MEET.

From the Newark Ledger.
The interscholastic field and track
meet at Delaware College on Frazer
Field, Saturday last. was one of those
interesting events that is alwaya
pleasing. The affair attracted visitors
from this State, Maryland and Penn
sylvania. High school athletes from
three States contested for supremacy
and prizes. Many of the events wera
closely contested. This bringing to-
gether Of so many young meI, should
help the college. The good resulting
from these events should be notice

The institution is becoming greater

there must be a determination on the

LACK OF DISCIPLINE.
From the Georgetown Journal.

From the Georgetown Journal
A valuable lesson should be learn.
ed from the serious accident that
took place at the school grounds last
Thursday morning when a small boy.
as the result Of som playmates
throw missiles, was blinded by one
of his comrades.
There is only one conclusion TO be
drawn, and that is that there Is a
lack OF proper discipline at the
school, at least on the school grounds.
It is the duty of the supervising prln-
cipal when he sees pupils of the
school throwing stones. etc.-and it
is frequently INDUCED into severely
reprimand and bring to task the
guilty ones.
Let us hope that there will not be
repetition of such an accident. and
that the head of the schools will see
to it that proper discipline is main
tained.

This act was fought through by large
