Educator Defines
Farm Management

Farm management as a branch
of agricultural science is defined
as follows in an address recently
delivered in New England by one
of the departments specialists:
"The farm management investi-
gator gets his information direct
from the farmer. The solution
of many of the practical problems
of agriculture are found to have
already been solved generations
ago by large groups of farmers;
particularly is it true of farm
management and organization.
Every farmer is of necessity more
or less of an experimenter. The
results Of thousands of such ex-

A Prayer For The Nation

DUTY is the noblest word in the
English language" wrote the
great general and the greater
Christian, Robert E. Lee.
Duty is national as we'll as indi-
vidual.
Some time Unto every man and
nation comes the moment to de-
eide" between the right and the
evil side, says the poet.
In this the supremest hour in
the life of this nation, when it's
decision for the right or the evil
side will be fraught with conse-
quences beyond all human power
to forecast, when upon its dici-
sion may rest the destiny of all
civilization for centuries to come,
every honest-hearted man and wo-
man may well pray that President
Wilson shall be devinely guided
and given power to know the right
and to do it, regardless of all other
CONSIDERATIONS.
Well may every American daily
and hourly pray:
Teach us, 0 almighty Ruler of
the universe, what is our duty !
We ask not to know which is the
easier road in which to walk. We
ask not for peace with all it's COM
forts and its prosperity. We ask
not for war, with all it's indescrib-
able horrors. We only ask o God !!
that as a nation we may know Thy
will. We only ask that we may
know our duty and have strength
and courage to follow where Thou
leadest."
This should be the prayer of
every Christian heart, of every
man who wants to know the
nations duty, not our ease, not our
comforts, not our prosperity, but
our duty and our work.
This should be the nations
prayer, for the nation that seeks
only it's own prosperity and safety
may hear the verdict, "Thou fool,
this night shall thy soul be requir-
ed of thee!"
We are living in the most mo-
mentous time since on the cross
the Son of God gave His life for
others.
He sought not His own comfort
nor His own life.
If duty demands it, shall ma
ton do less than did the incarnate
Son Of God?

fundamentally broadly applicable
principles of good farm organiza-

successfully operated farm differs
from one which is a failure or

"In previous decades the agri-

Newark Man
Among Speakers

About forty business men of
German birth and blood met in
annual reunion last Tuesday even
ing at the Hofbrau Haus, Will
mington. Among the speakers of
the evening was Jacob Thomas of
Newark. Mr.. Thomas discussed
German traits of Character"
lauding the "Germuet" which he
declared was not to be found in
any other language, adding,
"What cannot be found in the
language of a people is not in ex-
istence for them"
The speaker quoted numerous
poems and proverbs, striking re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of
the audience.
Rev. DR.. Georg Won Bosee of
Philadelphia pictured the German
American business man as he
came over from Germany and
started in America, gradually
building great plants and becor-
ing a leader in the Industrial,
commercial, and financial circles
of the world.
In this connection he mention
ed the first paper mill. still stand
ing in Fairmount Park, the first
pianos, the first type-setting
machine, the first process of beet
sugar, the Brooklyn bridge, the
great hotels, etc, as having been
built by German-Americans. The
German press came in for a share
of praise and it was pointed out
that the German-American bust
ness man is chiefly responsible for
the magnificent strides America
has made within the last few
years. William F. Kurtz express
ed the opinion that the German
element has duly impressed the
American type of citizen with his
characteristics of ambition, in
dustry, thrift, etc, and that this
would be even more true as time
went on. The speaker cited some
interesting facts in connection
with book written by Prof. Stein
err on Immigration" Max Goetz
on the German press, thanking for
accorded support and asking for a
continuance of the same. Other
speakers were E. J. Otteni, A.
Hauber, L. Clodi and w. Schnetter.

A letter which accompanied the
gift of ten dollars from the alliance
for the Caesar Rodney Monument
Fund, was read. The letter fol-
lows:
Mr.. Walter G. Tatnall, Whining
ton, Del.
Dear Sir: At the regular meet
ing Of the National German AM
erican Alliance, Delaware Branch,
| had the great pleasure of finding
a unanimous response to a pro-
position which you prompted by
your letter seeking contributions
for the Caesar Rodney Statue. AS
you perhaps know we are engaged
in sending every available cent to
our brethen across the sea and
many among us, not being overly
blessed with the good things OF
this world, are taxed rather HARD
by the necessities of war. There,
fore, we feel that our small gift
of $40 toward the monument will
be received in the spirit in which il
is given, the spirit of self-sacri
flee and true patriotism. Should
the war end soon, we could dc
more.
Wishing your success in the
sometimes thankless work of rails
ing funds, | remain, respectfully
yours,
S. G.. Won Bosse, secretary

COLLECTING MATE
RIAL FOR HISTORY
College Women At Wok On
Delawae Book

At the regular meeting of the
Delaware Association of College
Women, held at Friends School,
Wilmington last Saturday, report
was given of the work being car
ried on under the direction of DR..
Arthur w. Dunn, of the U. S. De-
partment of Education, toward
the preparation of a history of
Delaware suitable for use in the
public schools. The committee of
which Mrs. Miller is secretary, is
making a list of all available
source-books and records on Della
ware history.
In order to give a picture of
early Delaware which will show
the character of the land and its
resources in the time of the In
dians and to portray the phases of
civic development through the
Swedish, Dutch and English
settlements, these periods will be
studied by individual members of
the committee, so that the most in
teresting and avluable material
may be put at the disposal of the
members of the committee who
will finally write the history.
Mrs. Harry Hayward of New
rak, reported for the scholarship
committee that the state education
al authorities and all the High
Schools in the state are being
communicated with at this time in
order to secure an early estimate
of the number of students who will
enter the competitive scholarship
examination in June. Arrange
ments have been made by the COM
mittee to entertain the candidates
at the Women's College in Newark
during the examinations for the
scholarship given by the associa-
ton.
The business meeting was fol-
lowed by an amateur play produc-
ed by the entertainment COM
mittee, Miss Dorothy Simmons,
Miss Ruth Colby and Miss Dorothy
Hawkins. The play, Behind the
Beyond" originally staged by the
Yale Dramatic Association, was a
burlesque on the modern problem
play. The effect of the play was
heightened by the inclusion of two
boxes adjoining the stage in which
a tired business man and his wife
and noted critic in the company
of a Sweet Young Thing" made
comments each in true-to-charac-
ter vein, on the action and mean
ing of the scenes. The committee
was able to present an all-star
cast as follows:
Tired business man, Miss Mar
ion Beadenkopf; his wife, Mrs. Ed
ward R. Mack; dramatic critic,
Mrs. Horace H. Thayer, Jr.; sweet
young thing, Miss Eleanor Colby !;
Sir John Trevor, Miss Edith Dan
forth; Lady Cecily, Miss Barbara
