NEED OF A SCHOOL CODE
in DELAWARE
ARCHITECT ENUMERATEs BASIC PRINCIPLES
ONLY TWO BUILDINGS IN STATE HAVE THESE


Mr.. Wallace Eugene Hance of
Wilmington addressed Delaware
College on the "Need of a School
Code in Delaware" Mr.. Hance has
for long time taken a deep in
terest in school buildings and is
the architect of the Caesar-Rodney
Consolidated School situated be-
tween Camden and Wyoming. This
has been pronounced one of the
best school buildings in Delaware.
1t is model of it's kind. Mr..
Hance's message to the students
and Faculty of Delaware College
was timely, in view of the fact
that we are perhaps just entering
upon a new era in school building
in this state. The Alexis |. dupont
High School in rural New Castle
on the Kennett Pike gave new i'm
petus to school architecture. Mr..
Hance's address in part was as
follows:
THE school system of the State
of Delaware may be judged good
or bad when measured by the san
standard as would be applied to a
single institution of learning. A
college or university takes its rat
ing by the results obtained there
by those who make up its students
body. For them to obtain the best
results from time spent in study
two things are needed, a faculty
of first ability and the proper
equipment with which that faculty
may work.
l believe that the schools
throughout the State rank will in
so far as the teaching courses are
concerned, they do not rank we'll
in equipment most especially as to
school buildings.
The policy Of consolidation of
rural school districts is a step for
ward, but in carrying this policy
into effect it is imperitive to erect
buildings that are absolutely fitted
for the purposes intended.

What Reconstruction Means

Though the food restrictions
may be removed, peace is not going
to mean a diet of thick steak and
pancakes for America, and Amer
ice knows it. We have whole ma
tions to feed, whole peoples to
clothe and the most stupendous
task of economic reconstruction
the world has ever seen.
Reconstruction" after our Civil
War lasted till the nineties. The
social troubles of modern England
can be traced back definitely to the
few years of disorganized peace
after the Napoleonic Wars.
America has considered and
tackled the problems of a great
army. 1t must meet reconstruction
in the same spirit.
Reconstruction work in
France" has such a faraway
sound that much of its appeal is
lost on the way.
But suppose it were the woman
next door. Suppose her husband
had been killed in the war and she
had been driven from home. AS
soon as peace came, would she not
want above all else, to restore as
far as possible the map of her lit
tie world.
And if you were her neighbor,
it would be you, woman, who
would select a kitchen table for
her that looked just like her old
one.
THE women of America have
been engaged in industry so long
that they can offer suggestions
that may help French women to
understand and improve their
situation.
And they are so eager to learn
from US! We must pass on our
widest eXperience-the best we
have to Offer
The girls and women of Amer
lea, those women who for us are
more nearly the women next door,
must also be helped. A new spirit
and a new sense of responsibility
has developed during the war.
Just as they have been doing their
part to win the war, so the women
of America must plan to be ready
to do their share in the great con-
struction period in helping to
create a new world for all man.
kind.
They say that it will be five
years after the day when peace is
declared before the hundreds of
women employed in Washington

DECORATION DAY
BY Manford J. HolIey,
Base Hospital, Camp Hancock

Year by year their ranks grow thinner
And theirs eyes are weary--dimmer
As they journey down life's way
But their love is deeper-stronger
While each added year seems longer
With is Decoration Day."
Aye! they love their brave here sleeping
Ger them still their vigils keeping.
IT'S for them they have journeyed here
Each loved mound they strew with flowers
Culled from Mays bright sunny bowers
Moisten'd by a comrades tear.
Here sleep those we long have cherished
In fair freedoms cause they persisted,
They shan ne'er forget the day
When our country sad and bleeding
Called her sons--their strong arms need
ing,
How they marched to find the fray.
Here rest husband, son and lover
Meath earths fairest, greenest cover
But some slumber far away
Where the southern stream is flowing,
And the silent pine trees towering
Cast deep shadows DER their clay.
Those were days of gloom and sorrow,
And it seemed there was no morrow
When they laid them here to rest
But now hushed Is their repiing,
For they know our sun is shining
On that shore where wait our blest.
Yes those ranks are growing thinner,
And their looks with frost lines glimmeri
Soon their last march win be DER
Let us strew the ground with flowers,
Hero graves in flirest bowers,
While they tread brighter fairer Shore

Red Cross Ready
With Canteen
For Soldiers

The following is authorized by the
Director of Publicity of the Southern
Division of the American Red Cross:
The Red Cross is prepared to fur
nish troop trains with ali sorts Of del
ieaeies, such as coffee, sandwiches,
chocolate and cigarettes, as well as
post cards to send home to the fam
lily, at practically every city of any
size in the Southern Division that is
on the line of communication between
the different camps on the way to New
York, and also in a great many of the
smaller towns.
In Atlanta, the eanteen work is han
died very Systematically. One COM
mittee has been appointed for each day
in the week, and the members of that
particular committee are required to
hold themselves in readiness all day
long, from early in the morning until
10 o'clock at night, to respond to the
call of the chairman. Amy member
who leaves home is required to regis
ter at headquarters the telephone num-
Der over which she can be called, so
that as soon as a message that a troop
train is due reaches Atlanta it is the

work of few minutes to get the COM
mittee members together, and trans
port them to a station just outside of
town where the trains stop.
Then for fifteen minutes or so there
is more work to do than it seems pos
sible for a small committee to handle,
but willing hands work quickly, and it
is a matter of only a few minutes be-
fore every hungry soldier has been fed
and is comfortably smoking a cigar
cite furnished by the canteen workers.
Then there are the post cards to be
written home, and if the messages in
scribed on these are any indication, the
boys really appreciate what the Red
Cross canteen has done for them, not
only for the comfort of the moment,
but also because it shows them that
when they go to France to fight the
fight of civilization, they go with the
American people behind them.

ANE RICANS ARE IN
THICK Of THINGS
ON FRENCH FRONT.
Question of How the Allies Are
Prepared in Resumption of
German Drive Outweighs
All Other Considerations in
Washington.
Pershlng's Communioue.

Washing troops are
in the thick of things on the western
front
This fact was proved today from
General Pershing's communIque de-
claring that the enemy was completely
expelled after entering the American
lines in Picaardy and that the United
States forces entered the German lines
through counter attacks.
The same statement said that in the
WoevTe strong hostile raiding party
was repulsed with losses" in killed
and wounded. Intense gas attacks oc-
Cured in the Lorraine.
While these occurrences are not in
the region of the new German drive
new activity against the Americans
was demonstrated
Huns Driven Out.
The Picardy battle evidently was
severe. Two points of the American
advanced positions were penetrated by
the enemy after artillery preparation
Then followed the American counter
attack in which the enemy was driven
out and the Americans entered the
line.
The question of how the Allies are
prepared to meet the present drive
outWelghted other considerations to-
day. one of the best posted American
officers stated it as his belief that the
Allies are not in a much better posi-
ton as regards fighting men than
when the Germans opened their great
offensive in March. There has been a
certain amount Of recruitment. but he
doubted if it actually met-man for
mantle increase in the enemy's
strength.
Carefully Hidden.
Whatever may be said of the cal
lber of the troops brought up by Ger
many from Rumania and other fronts,
the fact remains that only in the air
have the Allies gained a partial SUI
premacy according to this officer. OF
course accurate information is lack
ing of the exact disposition of the AL
lies forces, Only the highest COM
mand knows that. and it is a care
fully hidden secret
General Maurice's charges that the
size of Britains on the west front was
exaggerated was accepted here as hav-
ing some truth but it is believed the
situation is rapidly being remedied and
that the British army if not now, will
soon reach it's former maximum.
A Formidable Reserve.
Enough American troops have reach
ed France in the last few weeks to
constitute a formidable reserve force.
But, according to best authority here.
out men will not be used in large
numbers insthe fighting unless the
crisis becomes much more active.
There is every confidence that the
Teutons will find it much more diff
cult to make advances this time. 1t
is pointed out that the Allies posi-
tons are better adapted to defense and
the channel ports may be regarded as
safe.
