School at their opening exercises this

selves to do all in their power toward
helping the government in the Liberty

The pledge followed a stirring patriotic
address delivered by Josiah Marvel.

a motion made by John Z. Whitehead,
member Of the athletic association
that that association take out another
one thousand dollar Liberty Bond. This
will be the second thousand Liberty
Bond which the athletic association has
bought.

Dr.. Clifford j. Scott, superintendent
Of public schools, introduced Mr.. Mar
vel to the students Mr.. Marvel said
| that the pupils Of the schools were
splendid agencies toward working for
the success Of both the Liberty Loan
and the food conservation campaigns,
and added that he felt sure that he
could without hesitancy pledge the
Wilmington schools 10 do their Bit
gladly and willingly.
He spoke Of entertaining righteous
hate for the Kaiser and for his mill
| tarists who have outraged the world
! by their barbarism and murders, and
urged the students to plead with their
parents to do all in their power TO
help along the two campaigns. He then
asked how many Of the girls would ask
their methers to save one dollar a
week In food conservation and Of the
boys he asked how many would ask
their fathers TO allow their mother to
invest that dollar saved in a Liberty
Bond, at the same time promising that
they themselves would do all neces-
sary to have their parents do that
much. There was a unanimous rails
Ing Of hands in pledge thereto.
81 hope, boys and girls said Mr..
Marvel. in conclusion, that you make
this pledge, not in burst Of enthusi-
asm, but with stern purpose to do
your part and from a feeling Of serv-
ice back Of it, None Of you will ever
feel right il, in after years, you can
not honestly say, I helped win the
war; The raising Of the Liberty
Loan should not come from the rich
people even If it could" added Mr.
Marvel. because We want to show
the world not that Delaware has n
lot OF rich people, but that 1t has 8
lot OF patriotic people"
