SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS
ARRIVE At DELAWARE

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes-
day have been busy days at the
State College, with two hundred
seventy-fve students from all
parts of Delaware registering,
finding homes, and making up
their schedules for the work of
the ten weeks session. Buses and
baggage trucks were at a prem
ium all day Monday, with the
headquarters Of the Stiltz trans
fer service still heaped and piled
with baggage until late at night.
Regular classes, held in Recitation
Hall, began on Tuesday. The stu
dents first assembled for chapel
yesterday in Wolf Hall at 10.45,
at which hour "get together"
meetings will be held each day
during the Summer School. Pro-
fessor G. S. Counts, director, pre-
sided. DR.. S. C. Mitchell, in an
opening adress sounded the key
note of the Session in the two
words-Personality and Commun-
ity.
"The first watchword, | would
give you, on this opening morn
ing" DR.. Mitchell declared, sis
Personality. 1t is possible to de-
velop personality. Of course,
some people are so brimful of it
that it oozes out at every point.
Personality is the biggest word in
the English language. 1t repre-
sents independence, clear think
ing, and resourcefulness. The
measure of a man is his soul; the
radius of his life is his sympathy.
We want big souled teachers in
our schools. | therefore say,
Personality is the main thing in
the Summer School. Personality
is never developed by cowing or
repression. The Delaware College
Summer School is not a Monologue
School; class Of twenty-four
should have in it twenty-four
teachers-twenty-four from whom
each may learn something of the
subject of the lesson.
"The second watchword I would
give you," DR.. Mitchell continued.
"is Community. Let every teacher
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1917-06-27

have in mind the community which
he or she is to serve next winter.
| should say that the growth of
community life is the most strik-
ing social phenomenon of our
time. We are beginning to think
now of the community as of our
home. AS result | hope we shall
develop a bigger, broader person.
ality with growing ideas and
ideals. We must keep on growing
and never stand still. If | should
catch myself holding next year
the exact opinions | have today,
shall be indeed ashamed of my
self.
CDR. Counts will probably, tell
you that you will have nothing to
do in the afternoon. | am going
to tell you that what you get from
your association with each other
is as important as anything that
comes from the classroom. Make
friend wherever you can; be hap
py, be cheerful, be communicative
and friendly, and let God be in it

ACCIDENT AT
ELkTON CROSSING
Railroad Officials Charged
With Manslaughter

Samuel Simmons, aged 45 years,
tenant on the farm of Mrs. Ellen
D. Booth, on the Frenchtown pike,
south of Elkton, his wife, Mrs.
Hannah Simmons, their eight
vear-old son, Ward, and George
Foster, who worked on the farm,
were all killed about 8 o'clock on
Monday evening, when a Ford au-
tomobile in which they were rid
ing was struck by a fast north
bound express on the Bridge
Street, or Plank Road, Crossing in
Elkton. A south-bound train had
Just passed and the watchman,
John Lothian, Fosters uncle, rails
ed the gates as the auto and bug
gy reached the crossing, not MOTTO
ing that the north-bound express,
II minutes late, was rapidly ap-
preaching. The buggy cleared the
tracks but the auto was struck by
the engine and whirled in the air,
landing a complete wreck partly
under tank car on the siding be-
yOnd the south-bound tack. The
four occupants were killed instant
ly. The child's head was severed,
and a bone from it was hurled in
to the buggy. Mrs. Simmons was
badly mangled. Fosters body was
caught on the cow-catcher, where
it was found when the engineer
brought the train to stop on the
jail curve. Coroner Litzenberg
held an inquest on Friday, the
jury finding that the victims owed
their death to the negligence of
Lothian, the watchman, and hold
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad
management responsible for the
danger incurred by the travelling
public at the four grade crossings
in Elkton. The Simmons family
having been killed, the company
is not liable to any one for DAM
ages. Lothian was arrested on a
charge Of involuntary manslaugh-
ter, based upon his negligence,
and was placed in Jail.
AS sequel to the accident of
Thursday, States Attorney c. B.
Finley on Tuesday issued a war
rant charging A. J. Whitney, Sup
erintendent of the Maryland divi-
sion, J. R. English, General Sup
ervisor of Track, and M. Rafferty,,
