EDUCATIONAL Bull
LETIN ISSUED
What The Smith-Hughes Act
Means To Delaware

Bulletins are being mailed this
week at Delaware College, which
explain, in clear, lucid style, the
meaning of the Smith-Hughes Act
as translated in terms Of popular
education in Delaware.
The Act, passed by Congress
last spring provides for the ap-
preparation of funds from the gen.
eral treasury for the promotion of
vocational education in the second
airy schools of the several states.
According to the Act funds are APP
propriated for three purposes: D
the payment the payment of salar-
les of teachers, supervisors, and
directors of agriculture in the sec
ondary schools; (2) the payment
of salaries of teachers of home
economics and trade and industrial
subjects in the secondary schools;
and (3) the training of secondary
school teachers in the above-men-
toned vocational subjects.
Delaware College and the Wo-
mems College of Delaware have
been designated by both State and
Federal authorities as the agents
for the training of teachers of the
vocational subjects for the State
of Delaware. The sum thus re-
ceived amounts to $4,000 annual
ly until 1920, when it becomes
$4,000.
In order to meet satisfactorily
this new need for teacher-training
the bulletin states definitely or
ganized Department of Education
has been created which includes
the separate departments existing
heretofore in Delaware College and
the Women's College. Several new
members have also been added to
the educational staff in conse-
uuence of the Smith Hughes Act
The present organization of the
Department is as follows:
George S. Counts, Ph.D., Head OF
the Department and Professor
of Secondary Education.
Mary E. Rich, SD, Head OF
Practice Teaching and Pro
lessor of Elementary Educa
ton.
Allan R. Cullimore, SD, Profes
sor of Industrial Education.
Howard T. Ruhl, AM, Profes
sor of Agricultural Education
(To be securely, Professor O.
Home Economics Education.
(To be secured), Assistant Pro
fessor of Industrial Educa
ton.
The purpose Of the new depart
ment is defined as three-fold: Il
to train teachers for the schools o
the State and adjacent territory
(2) to act as a clearing house TO
information relating to education
al problems to which any teache
or principal may go for counsel
and 60 to study the needs of Della
ware with view to promoting tn
development of a school syster
adopted in every respect to tn
life of the people. The member
of the Department wish it to b
distinctly understood, the Bullet
states, that they are firm in tn
belief that the value Of any inst
tuition is measured in terms {
human service.

FIRST CARLOAD

We have taken orders for about
half carload of monuments and
will complete the carload in time to
have monuments in place by Decora-
tion Day. All those contemplating
placing an order with us soon can do
so in time to get in on the first
shipment. To have your order come
with carload means the saving of
money since there is considerable
difference between local freight and
carload freight rates. We handle the
Colorado granite which is most en-
durable and subject to the very fin
est polish. We took orders for three
carloads last year. These orders
came from every section Of the San
Juan. The amount of the business
should speak for the quality of it.

Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act us a kind
of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degcneratcd, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. Ii we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or il We
want 10 increase our chances for a long
life, DIR. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, n. Y, says that you should drink
plenty of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
If We wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet OF milk and vcge-
tables, with only little meat once day,
Is the most suitable. Drink plenty Of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for
month. Anuric il many times more potent
than lithia and dissolyes uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

KILLED; INJURED
IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK
(From MONDAYS Dailyl

The first fatal auto accident in the
Durango vicinity occurred yesterday
afternoon about o'clock. when Bat
tista Gisolo an employe of the San
Juan mine, was killed, and Rudolph
Moser formerly proprietor of the La
Plata Club, sustained serious injur-
les that may cost him his life.
The men had been riding for sew
eral hours in Moser's new car, a
Dodge. Shortly before 4 o'clock they
wended their way toward Porter with
two children as their companions. As
they were nearing the coke ovens just
outside the old coal camp. they en-
countered a rock that had rolled in
the road. Just what occurred is un-
certain.
Either Mr.. Moser, the driver, tried
to miss the rock and turned too far
to the left, or in shifting gears. he
lost sight of the road and steered
over the embankment-
The machine was hurled to the bot
tom of the creek bed twenty feet be-
low. 1t landed bottom side up, pin
ning Gisolo and one Of the children
under it. The child escaped with
slight bruises and scratches but CHS
oio sustained injuries that caused his
death five minutes later. He was
hurt on the head. side and back. The
injury on the head apparently pene-
trnted the brain. The injury on the
back seemed to be equally serious.
Either might have cost him his life.
Moser did not realize he was badly
hurt. After returning to town he Sc
cured the service of a coroner and
then walked to his home on Second
Avenue. About three hours later he
became unconscious and was rushed
by ambulance to Ochsner's hospital
where an examination revealed he
had sustained a fractured skull and
a ruptured blood vessel. An opera
tion was performed Immediately. His
recovery in doubtful.
The body of the dead man was
brought to Durango by Coroner Good

PLAN
POPULAR IN WEST

WASHING ON, April II. -. Pres
ident Wilson has asked Representa-
tives Mann and Lenfoot 70 confer
with him in an effort to secure sup
port for the army conscription bill.
Owing to the fear of many congress-
men that their constituents will
blame them If they are not kept ont
of war, compromise appears prob
able whereby the President will be
authorized to call for a half million
volunteers to be raised within ninety
days.
In the senate it appears only one
vote of the military committee is in
ciined toward compromise.
A popular demand for Roosevelt's
volunteer plan has developed espec-
tally in the west. This plan as out
lined by Colonel Roosevelt to Senat-
or Chamberlain and Representative
Dent, approves of the administra-
tion's compulsory service program
for providing war army, but he in
sists that volunteers could be put on
the firing line in late summer and
that the American flag should be
there at the earlies possible moment.
If the conscription bill fails or is
modified, likely Roosevelt will be al
lowed to take volunteers to France.
Otherwise he will probably be refus-
ed.
