Collector Of Rare Books
To Visit The Colleges

In connection with the three
hundredth anniversary of the
death of Shakspere in April, Mr..
George A. Plimpton of New York
has accepted the invitation of
Delaware College to make an ad-
dress on "The Books that Shaks-
pere Used" Mr.. Plimpton is one
of the foremost business men in
America. He finds time, however,
to keep up his interest in educa-
tion and literature. He is the
President of the Board of Trus-
tees of Amherst College, affiliated
with Columbia University; he is
also the treasurer of the Roberts
College in Constantinople, that
has done so much to revitalize the
people in the Balkans.
Mr.. Plimpton is a great collec-
tor of books. He presented to
Wellesley College a rare collec-
tion of Italian books in memory of
his wife who was a Wellesley wo-
man. There has recently been
upon exhibit in the New York City
Library, a unique collection of
books pertaining to the history of
education in America, which he
drew together.
Perhaps the most distinctive
collection that Mr.. Plimpton has
made is that of the books used by
the school children in Shakspere's
time. Some of the rarest of these
volumes cost almost fabulous
sums; in few instances only one
or two editions are extant. Mr..
Pllmpton shows to the audience
the actual book and makes run
ming comment upon it's contents
and history. His collection of
Horn Books is surpassed only by
that made by an English noble
man.
The date for Mr.. Plimpton's ad-
dress has not yet been definitely
determined. The plan now is to
have him speak at the Women's
College in the afternoon near the
anniversary date of Shakespere's
| death.

OBITUARY
Joseph c. Rankin

Joseph G. Rankin, one of Della
wares most venerable citizens
and a descendant of a family not
able in the State during the Revo-
lutionary War, died on Saturday
at his home near Newark, in his
ninety-third year. Funeral SER
vices were held this afternoon at
1.3O o'clock at the home of his

few months, which were spent
with the Misses Springer. They,
with Mrs. Clara Springer Davis,
wife of Thomas Davis an attorney

viving members Of Mr.. Rankin's
branch of his family.
The Rankin family were pio-
neers to this country from the

Consider Locating
New Plant Here

William B. Burroughs of the
William Numsen and Sons, Balti-
more, Nd, has been in Newark
this week with the view of estab-
fishing a plant for canning corn.
The Numsen Company is an old
established firm started in 1847,
with headquarters at Baltimore.
They operate several factories in
different sections of the country,
one of which is at Frederica, Del.
Mr.. Borroughs is working to Sc
cure the opinion of different farm
ers in this section relative to the
advisability Of locating plant
here. 1t will require approxim-
ately 800 acres for the successful
operation of their type of factory
Their proposition is purely bus
mess one. They ask no bonus or
consideration from the Board of
Trade. If the farmers can give
the company reasonable guaran-
tee of growing the crop, the firm
will probably consideg this loca-
cation favorably.
Mr.. Burroughs expressed him
self as anxious to meet the farm
ers and get their point of view, as,
he said, the project is not tenn
porary one. Their type of factory
construction is one involving con-
siderable expense. He expects to
return next week, when a farmers
meeting will probably be called.
The business of the Baltimore
concern will enter no competition
with the Ritter factory, the fields
covered by the two firms being en-
tirely different ones.

State Aid Discontinued To
Pupils Outside Delaware

Inc State Board of Education
met at Dover last Friday, when
many matters of educational inter-
est were discussed. DR.. Charles A.
Wagner, State Commissioner of
Education was instructed to call
the attention of the county school
commissioners to schools at which
the attendance is too large, with a
view to relieving the congestion.
Professor Hayward and DR.. Wag-
ner were appointed a committee to
transmit commentators to school
teachers who have taken an active
interest in club work and club pro-
Jects among the pupils.
1t was also ordered that Waters
text book on agriculture be placed
on the permanent text book list of
the schools. The committee on
State aid to persons preparing to
teach was discontinued, in view of
the fact that no State aid is now
allowed students attending outside
normal schools.
The board adopted a recommen-
dation that the State commissioner
of educ alton be excused from tea
ching at the Summer School, so
that he may give his time for the
tabulation of teachers annual re-
ports and the preparation of a ge-
neral report on education in the
State.
The president of the board,
Henry Ridgely of Dover, was re-
quested TO act as a special commi-
ttee on the advisability of having
a text book in the schools of the
State on history and civics of the
State of Delaware, and report at
he next meeting.

DELAWARE MAN AC-
CEPTS GOOD OFFER
Scientific Work Of DR.. Taub-
enhaus RECOGNIZED

DR.. j. j. Taubenhaus of the De-
partment of Plant Pathology at
Delaware College, has accepted
the offer made to him recently
from the State College of Texas.
He has been made head of the De-
partment of Plant Pathology and
Physiology. Aside from this, he
will have charge Of the graduate
work of this department.
DR.. Taubenhaus, upon invita-
tion of the Director of the Texas
Station, visited the college during
the Christmas holidays, following
which came the offer, at an in
crease of $1,000 salary over his
present position of S14O0. In ad-
dition he will represent the col
lege at the several national scien-
tific meetings.
The Texas institution has over
1000 students with a faculty of
over 100 members. To show some
scope of the work, the station
there has 14O county agents with
Fl sub stations.
This recognition of DR.. Taub-
enhaus is only the logical outcome
of his scientific work. During his
six years, he has published some
twenty scientific works, which are
recognized throughout the coun-
try. During this time he has
every year read one or more
papers before the scientific asso-
Citations. He has been regular
contributor to several of the
scientific journals, aside from
much popular work bearing di-
rectly on the practical.
1t is well to note that the invi-
tations to deliver these addresses
are more than ordinary conven-
tion talks. These papers represent
original research and are read be-
fore the great investigators of
the country. The position Just
accepted came in recognition of
this work.
DR.. Taubenhaus will leave for
his new work sometime during
February.

AGRICULTURAL
COURSE CHANGED
Course at Delaware Thor
oughly Revised

The Agricultural Department
makes the following announce
ment and explanation concerning
important changes in the agri-
cultural courses: "The entire
four-years' course in Agriculture
at Delaware College has been re-
vised and strengthened to in
crease the efficiency for the in
struction and to enable the stu
dents to get a better foundation
and more detail work in the spec
sial lines in which they are work
ing. The course, as a whole, is
made up of a foundation of basic
scientific and cultural subjects,
upon which is built a superstruc-
ture of work in applied science
practical work in the various
branches of Agriculture.
"No student will be given a de-
gree in Agriculture until he has
gotten some practical experience
upon a farm. Each student will
be required to spend at least two
summers or their equivalent in
practical work, before his senior
year. The amount of practice
work given in the laboratories and
on the farm will be materially in
creased to strengthen the calss-
room and lecture work.
each candidate for graduation
will be required to complete a
minimum of 1876 credit term hours
of work, in addition to Military
Science and Physical Training,
throughout his entire course. Of
these 1856 credit hours, SO hours
are required in subjects including
English and other languages,
Mathematics, History, Economics,
Sociology, Bacteriology, Physics,
Chemistry and Genetics. In ad-
dition to this, minimum of 43
credit hours in the elective
courses offered must be chosen by
the student, of which not more
than Is hours can be taken out
side of the Department of Agri-
culture. This is the minimum re-
quirement. In all cases, students
will be urged to take as much in
excess of the minimum require
ment as they can, and still main
tain satisfactory standing in
their work. The courses in Ag-
ronomy, Animal Husbandry and
Horticulture have all been in
creased in number and some of
the courses which have been given
in the past strengthened by the
addition of extra lecture, labora-
tory and practice work.
"This revision of the work has
been based upon a thorough study
of the courses offered in the lead
ing agricultural colleges in the
United States, and should place
Delaware College in the first rank
according to the character of the

Your hair becomes light. wavy, fluff. fy, abundant and appears as soft, lus- trous and beautiful as young girls after q "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. This will cleanse the hair of dust. dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
 Besides beautfying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff: cleanses, purifies and. invig- orates the scalp, forever stopping itch. ing and falling hair.
 But what will please you most will be after few weeks use when you will actually see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty. soft hair and lots of it, surely get 25 cent bottle of Knowltons Danderine from any store and just try it. Adv.
