clared that the schools OF Delaware
we're much interior TO those OF other
States and that he deplored the IN
ferior quality of Delaware teachers.
Mr.. Claxton said that the majority OF
the teachers had little better than an
ordinary high school education.
Or. Scott declared that the speaker
referred TO the teachers outside OF
Wilmington because he had made In
vestigations there and not In Will
miueton. According 10 Or. Scott, the
general public assumed from this and
other Kindred speeches that the
schools OF this city were included IN
the category mentioned.
DR.. Scotts report showed that there
were 346 teachers IN Wilmington. Or
these 254 we're training school gradu-
ates, AZ with college degrees and the
remaining 81, who are not college or

Only So Many Pitched Balls in One
HurIer, Says Plank, Who COnserVes his

During the winter Of 1914 baseball
writer's began singing the swan song
OF Eddie Plank, for years premier
southpaw OF the American League and
one Of the greatest left handlers OF
all time.
Connie Mack had included Plank in
his wholesale cleanup. and II was
generally supposed that II Connie
thought Plank was through there was
no argument against 1t.
But Plank fooled 'em and Is still
fooling EN-.
Plank will be in the harness this
year. and it is not at all unlikely
that he will be out on the old mound
serving up southpaw slants IN 1913
and 1919.
That is predicting far ahead. There
are many things which might happen
in two or three years, but witnout
accident Eddie Plank, now AZ years
old should be q factor in winning
baseball games in the majors for that
time.
There arc three secrets OF Plank's
success as a pitcher and or his ability
10 stay in the game longer than any
other fork hander.
The first is his brain, which mas
caused him 10 conserve his arm 70 a
remarkable extent.

Plank has peculiarities. He ue
