FLU BAN IS LIFTED
Subject to Local Conditions
Throughout the State.

Boise, Idaho.-Churches and
theatres OF the state will again be
tiled Sunday, November "a, and
public schools will resume their
schedules the following Monday.
Orders to lift all restrictions i'm
posed because of the epidemic OF
Spanish influenza were issued
Thursday afternoon to county
health officials by the state board
OF health, on the strength of
reports indicating that the
epidemic is rapidly diminishing.
One o'clock Sunday morning,
November "a, is the time set for
the removal of the restrictions.
The only contingency that might
cause restrictions to be continued
is that local conditions might not
justify relaxation of precautions.
In such cases local health officials
are authorized to maintain the
quarantine until improvement
results.
Public assemblages have been
forbidden since October 10, and
schools have been closed since
October 2I.
Theatres and churches will no
doubt be crowded the day the
quarantine is lifted.
cit goes without saying that we
expect rigid observance until the
restrictions are removed" said DR..
E. t. Biwer, secretary of the state
board of health, Thursday.
Instructions of the health board
to county officials, revoking the
restrictions, were signed by Doctor
Biwer, and were as follows:
"You are advised that all re-
strictions of the state board of
health for the control of the cpl
demic of influenza are to be re-
moved at a. m. Sunday, Novem-
Der "a, insofar as is safe within
your Jurisdiction.
"Reports received by this Office
indicate that for the state1as a
whole the incidence of influenza
is rapidly diminishing, which ex-.
plains the foregoing order.
"While sporadic cases will
doubtless develop for a considera-
BILE period, and while in some iso-
lated sections influenza may still
attain epidemic proportions we
believe that the present stringent
requirements may he done away
with.
"You are directed, however, TO
use all care in handling the situa-
tion within your Jurisdiction, and
II in the judgment of the local
board of health the time is not ripe
for removal of restrictions, you are
authorized to maintain them for
the present.
81 wish to thank you, and thru
you the public generally for the
splendid cooperation that has
been given the state board of
health during this abnormal situa-
tion."

Summer School

The Summer School will begin
on Monday, June "a, and continue
for eight weeks. 1t is believed
that by teaching on Saturdays the
work that last summer was spread
over ten weeks, can be packed into
eight weeks, with consequent saw
ing to the individual teachers as
we'll as to the State. Last session
2S1 teachers were in attendance
upon the Summer School, and it is
probable that this record will be
broken the coming summer, for
under the direction of DR.. George
S. Counts a strong faculty and rich
program are being arranged for
the next session.

Business Administration

The courses in Business Admin
istration under DR.. Fred E. Clark
have made a strong appeal both to
the men on the campus and to
prospective students, as is reveal
ed in correspondence. DR.. Clark
is not only we'll gr unded in his
subject, but has a rare faculty for
the presentation of such practical
subjects as Business Organization,
Markets and Marketing Methods,
Railway Transportation, Banking,
and Insurance. Just as colleges
were originally founded for the
training of men for the learned
professions of theology, law, and
medicine, so now it is found i'm
perative to train men to handle the
complex problems of modern in
dustry and commerce. The demand
for such training upon the part OF
the constituents of this College is
insistent, and the courses offered
by DR.. Clark open to Delaware mer
field of widening service to the
State and Nation.

The People Are Saving

Evidences are accumulating that
the habit of saving among the
American people, especially among
the patrons of savings banks and
postal savings, is outstripping the
financial demands made upon them
by the Government.
While no exact figures are avail
able at present, it is known that
postal savings deposits have
steadily gained during the year
1917, and notably since the 1st of
July of that year, which was after
the first issue of the Liberty Loan,
The reports from savings banks
also show a steady gain, and the
same is true of cooperative build
ing and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers. 1t is
estimated that the savings of the
whole people of the United States

Meeting of the State Grange

Delaware College was happy to
be the host to the State Grange in
it's annual meeting on December
11-13. The meeting of this body
of citizens, representing basal
interest in the commonwealth,
showed how we'll adapted are the
new buildings on the campus for
the holding of such conventions,
and illustrates also how enriched
is the life of the College by the
presence of such groups working
for great social ends. The Grange
made Old College their headquar-
ters, while the night meetings and
various exhibits were held in Wolf
Hall. The students proved them
selves admirable hosts. The whole
College was placed under obliga-
tion to the members of the Grange
by reason of these strengthening
associations. The Experiment
Farm was shown to great advant-
age. Dean Hayward was indie
fatigable in directing all the ar
rangements and in seeking to make
the members of the Grange feel at
home at the College.

ship-yards in Wilmington, where
he is directing the training OF
working-men in the elements OF
knowledge that bear directly upon
their respective jobs, and also IN
the training of practical teachers
in trades and industries. This
marks distinct departure in the
extension activities of the College
and is the beginning of closer CO.
operation between the school and
the shop and between Delaware
College and the City of Whining

It is needless to say that the
shock of war has affected the Am
erican college more than perhaps
any other unit in our National
life, for here the very youth who
are most responsive to the pur-
poses and ideals of the war are
gathered, and, in the case of Della
ware College, trained in military
science for immediate service
These conditions have affected the
entire session and must be taken
into account at every turn.

February 18 for a furlough fol

Commencement

The members of the Board are
already apprised of the fact that
former President William H. Taft
has accepted the invitation to make
the Commencement address on the
morning of Monday, June 10. Sem
ator Josiah o. Wolcott will spea'
to the Christian Association, and
DR.. John Mcdowell, of Baltimore,
will preach the Baccalaureate SER
mon on Sunday, June 9. The plans
for the weekend Commencement
promise gratifying results, and
letters from alumni even as far
away as California, indicate a
large reunion at that time. Par
ticularly pleasing is the sugges-
tion of the Agricultural Depart
ment that Farmers Day be held in
connection with the Commence
ment.
AS this will be the first Com
mencement Of the Women's Col
lege, peculiar interest attaches to
it. The graduation of the first
class of young women under Dean
Winifred J. Robinson will mark
the fulfillment of the purposes of
the people of the State in founding
the Women's College, which has
passed from triumph to triumph
during the four years of its exist
ence under her wise administra-
ton.

Roberts Greenfield, Student Sec
retary, relating to the religious
meeting held by the students in
the Living-room of Old College on
Sunday afternoons, and also to the
Bible classes which have been or
ganized. These are significant de-
velopments in the life of the stu
dent-body and show how the pur-
poses centering in Old College are
working themselves out in a natur-
al and constructive way.

speedy recovery.
Dining Halls
Miss Carrie Stuart, the Director
of the Dining-Halls, in cooperation
with Mr.. William Langhorne, the
Secretary of Business Administra-
ton, has put the dining-hall upon

porting and gives satisfaction both
in regard to the quality of the
meals served and the spirit of fell
lowship promoted. Miss Stuart
has shown herself the right person
in the right place and has won the
enthusiastic cooperation of the en-
tire student-body.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S,--ln many
ways manufacturers are more liberal
than wage-earners. they cheerfully pay
heavy taxes. give bountifully to the Red
Cross, are willing to work in Washing
ton for 81 year and permit their
wives to knit from morning to night !:
but they will not give UP one-slxteenth
of so-called "inherited rights of the em-
ploying class" according to Roger w,
Babson, newly appointed statistician in
the United States employment service or
the Department of Labor. He has just
ended a tour of manufacturing cities In
the West. Mr. Babson said:
Manufacturers In some localities need
as much missionary work az do the
workers The labor difficulty at present
is one of improper distribution. The
complaints of manufacturers, found
have arisen not so much from their difii'
! cultv to obtain labor but In obtaining

1 desire to pay My principal difficulty
| was in convincing manufacturers OF th'
! Increase in the cost of living to TIN
wage-earners and in the reasonablenes'

the advances in the price OF materials.

planning about paying advances OF lO'
