Wilmington must be brought up to
feel that there is no other logical
place to go when they leave their

with the belief that Delaware is
their states college, that she is
their college, that her football
team is their football team, that
her honors are their honors,-a
goodly heritage to which they will
some day fall heir. They must be
made to understand that in Arts
and Science, in Engineering, in
Agriculture, in Chemistry, there is
nowhere else where they can re-
ceive better training. They must
come to see that at Delaware they
will gain many of those advantages
which the smaller college has over
her sister institutions of larger
size. At Delaware they will not
represent so much tuition; their
individuality will not be smother
ed under mass of numbers; they
will have every chance to make
themselves felt in the life of the
college and the community. If
they have any stuff in them worth
while, Delaware College will bring
it out. They will have intimate
association with men trained at the

their boys that higher education

Physicians interviewed this afternoon

1t is believed that the disease first
began to spread at the public schools
although according to DIR. E. Carl
Weirick, the Enola physicians have
not been able to precisely trace out
the origin. The schools are in ses-
sion as usual, and some of the doc
tors appeared to think that this was
d rather serious business.

Some of these are not dangerous, but
perhaps half q dozen are In a serious
condition. OF course, every house
visited with the disease is being
strictly quarantined. but the disease
has spread so suddenly. all within
ten days, that we are apprehensive
of its further contagion."

Workers Begin Second Stage of Great Drive For Needed
Funds Enthusiastic Over Prospects to Make.
New Record; Reports Are Cheering

Every effort is being made by Y.

fund "Over the top" here to-day. The
campaign workers will meet at
luncheon tomorrow noon, for a re-
port of activities. 1t is confidently
expected that by tomorrow the new
goal of $3.50 will be passed
Many stories of self-sacrifce and
heroism of contributors are told by
workers. One sweet, motherly
woman welcomed the solicitors into
her home, and showed them two
chocolate cakes she had just baked
for the son and the son-in-law Who
had marched off to camp, side by
side. II can't give much," she said,
but / will give my little mite" The
chocolate cakes were sent to the
boys in camp, and the contribution
she gave to the workers will go far
to provide comfort and cheer for
them.
Another contributor. a middle
aged man, gave the solicitors his
check for $50. and the next day
called them in, increasing his sub
scription to $50O-ten times the
original contribution.
