that it will be brought to Sussex and

most encouraging. II is good to note
that plans are being laid which will

II has been a pleasure to call atten-

this paper to the track meet to be
held at Delaware College. 1t has been
further pleasure to note that some
OF the boys of our local high school
have determined that Seaford shall be
represented.
Trophies for Oratory are now being
offered throughout the State for ex-
cellence in another form Of public
school activity There have been do
mated six silver cups. costing not less
than $50, which will be mounted on
an ebony base and covered with a
glass; one a State trophy. one for
each county and two for the City of
Wilmington. These cups will be con-
tested for each year by the school
children in each of the sections and
the district winners will contest for
the State trophy

Sussex cup. II is to be known as the
Simeon S. Pennewill Trophy for Ora
tory" The school children and faith
ers and mothers of Sussex County can
well feel proud that they have in
their midst this public spirited man.
Greenwood has had repeated manifes-
tations of his generosity and now the
county as whole has the opportunity
to have a part in this liberality
The list Of givers of trophies for
efficiency in public speaking is as fol-
lows:
State Trophy-Nathan Miller, OF
Wilmington.
Wilmington High School Trophy -
David Snellenburg, Of Wilmington.
Wilmington Grammar School Tro-
phy-J. Ernest Smith.
Rural New Castle Trophy-Mrs. Sell

Kent County Trophy General A. r.

Sussex County Trophy - Former
Governor Simeon S. PenniwH, OF
Greenwood.
The plan for this encouragement of
the art Of public speaking was agita-
ted by Professor Cross. superintendent
Of the public schools Of New Castle
county and supported by THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL, of Wilmington. This
paper, speaking regarding the prizes
which has been offered, says:
at may be said that never before
in the history of Delaware has there
been such an Offering of handsome
silver prizes for the encouragement of
any line of educational effort. We
also may add that never before has
there been such a quick response to

the gifts have been made show two
things conclusively. One is that the
interest in educational advancement is
acute; the other, an appreciation of
the fact that our public schools can,
