BY Dr. p. p. ClaXton, United States

yesterday afternoon at the new A. l.

Vention of school commissioners IN

serted that many OF the teachers IN
Delaware are1inefilcient.
"One OF the fundamental needs in
Delaware today said DR.. Claxton. lis
that Of an efficient system of educa-
ton, and ! want 10 congratulate you
people on the increased interest mani
tested in the subject
There Is a great need in this state
81 q consolidated system of pubic
schools" DR.. Claxton said. Under the
present system there is too much
work for one teacher and she is UNI
able to give the work the attention II
needs. She only has time to hear the
classes. Under the present system
there is not an average one hour OF
study per day in our schools by the
pupils"
Or. Claxton advocated a county sys-
tenn OF school management rather than
the present local management.
"The teachers of the State OF Del

ton. who has not had az least two
years Of normal school training should

teachers, rather than nine months
with poor Ones"
Tho speaker then proceeded 70 elaho
rate on the taxation question and urged
r. more equitable system of taxation anC
an increased taxation for educationa
purposes.
While awaiting the arrival of DR.
Claxton, Horace L. Dlworth, OF The
State Grange, In a brief address, sai'
that the Delaware school laws had no
changed much from their original con
htruction as far back as 1880
Tho condition that produced re-
rults then will not do for this time,
he said. "Tho boy and girl OF today

a TEN OR FORTY
YEAR MORTGAGE

The loans made under the Fed
eral Farm Act can be for 10, 90.
80 or 10 years. Still they can
be paid up in full at the end of
years. These loans are all
made on the amortization plan, j..
e. when The interest is paid, a
small payment is also made on
the principal. The payne ITS on
the principal are so arranged that
when the last interest payment is
made the whole loan is paid up.
This means that the longer the
loan runs. the smaller the pay
ments each year. The annual
payments (interest and principally
on 81 900 loan at per cent that
runs for 10 years will be Si35.87;
IS year si02.96; 90 years s87.i8;
25 years S78.23; 80 years S72.65
and 40 years S66.46.
1t may be safest to take the
loan with smallest annual pay
ment, the forty-year plan, so as
not to default in payment in
case bad year comes, as they do.
When good years come, bigger
payments can be made. The
forty-year plan has the advantage
of the small annual payment vet it
can be paid in full any time after
it has run years.

PATRIOTISM THAT Is
NOT CHEAP

No more patriotic utterance has
been spoken since affairs with
Germany assumed a critical con-
dition than that of the editor of
The Correspondent. a German
language paper printed in Balti-
mole. AS carried i'm press dis
patches it is as follows:
During the last 2 and a half
years The Americans of German
descent have had a very trying
time. A more severe time is now
in store for them.
1--WE came here to become ci-
tizens of the United States Of our
own free will. We cut loose from
the land where our cradle stood,
took the oath of allegiance to the
land of our selection. In this
case our duties come first, no
matter how much our hearts may
bleed.
"Who ever now renounces the
oath of allegiance which he took
brings only disgrace to the land
for which his heart bleeds. There
fore. remember that the United
States is the land of the birth OF
our children and their children
while Germany is the land Of our
fathers. Here in the United
States lies our future and let the
past be a memory only"
Let those who think themselves
patriotic consider what it means
to stand by the adopted country
when the heart bleeds for the Fa-
therland. Let him consider what
the thought of going to war with
men of his own blood would mean.
The thought may give him char
i!y. 1t may curb reckless speech
and reckless conclusions.
If disaster should befall: if tho
United States should he forced in
to war with Germany. the United
States citizens of German birth
will deserve considerate treat
ment. When they act-as un-
doubtedly they will act-with
loyalty to the land of their adop-
tion. their allegiance will have
been tested in the severest fire
and found doubly valuable.-Cour

ALLEN TO BUILD
AUTOMOBILE Community

At a banquet given by the Fost
oria o. Chamber of Commerce a
few days ago it was announced
that the Allen Mortor Company is
planning for big factory ex-
pansiou together with the establ-
ishment of an automobile commu
nifty on the outskirts of Fostoria,
present home of the Allen. This
announcement was received with
the greatest enthusiasm by the
business men and merchants of
the city.
The section selected for the
new Allen factory site consists ot
about $50 acres of land situated
at the northern corporate limits
CT F.storia and is traversed BY
three railroads, the Big Four, the
Toledo and Ohio Central and the
Hooking Valley. The tract has
been secured by contract AMI is
now being surveyed preliminary
to the laying out of building sites,
streets, etc. The new home of
Allen motor cars is to be known
as "Allendale Addition" and is to
be provided with all modern i'm
provements-paved streets, wat
er, sewerage, lights, etc. The
city council Of Fostoria promises
to cooperate in very way in the
building W of the new subrub.
Zone of the most attractive
things in connection with the
plan soon to be put into execu-
lion is the setting aside of lots
for the building of homes for our
factory EMPLOYEES" says w. u.
Allen, general manager of ihe
company. ut is not our aim to
grow to prodigious size but to
establish model community
where automobiles of supreme
quality can be turned out by sat-
isfied workmen.''
While providing in the main for
the erection of an enlarged CEN
tralized plant of the most mod
ern design, the aesthetic side is
by no means to be overlooked and
the beautifying of the grounds
and the establishing of inviting
housing conditions will be given
careful attention.
