4 TRIBUTE TO D. A. CONNER

The following letter was addressed
to Thomas Conner of Frederick by
Thomas d. Cook of 1923 Pine street.
Philadelphia, who knew his brother
who for forty years was a correspond
ent of the Milford Chronicle from
Milton, Del. Mr.. Cook wrote as fol-
lows:
II was with sincere and everlasting
regret that l heard of the death Of
your brother, David A. Conner. He
was a man of unique character, pleas
ing personality and individuality. He
was endowed with all the character
istics of a gentleman and from in
fancy up he maintained that equi-
poise; literally from the cradle to the
grave-a splendid asset or collateral
for any member of the human family.
Most surely will his weekly letters
to the Milford Chronicle be missed by
those who were accustomed to look
forward each week for his elabora-
tions on all current events. His style
of writing was graphic and unparal-
leled so far as the correspondents col
umn of a Delaware newspaper was
concerned.
No ambiguity in connection with the
late David A. COnnor; he could and
did fake a stand and maintained that
stand to full satisfaction to himself
He could elaborate upon passing triv-
ialities and general news, and with
ornate sentences make most inter-
esting reading, highly instructive and
edifying.
/ always had a very deep regard
for him, and write now to show my
appreciation to you, and my very great
respect for him.
Very sincerely,
John B. Cook

DELAWARE JOURNALISM
AND THE SCHOOL CODE
(From the Morning Newsl


The remarks I made at the meeting
in Milford. with reportorial variations
and "ineXactitudes .you see ! am
careful In selection of wordsl have
caused much criticism and comment
regarded Mr. DUPONT as the chief
heralder OF the cause. rather than the
speaker Of the evening, a campaigner
with iniative enough 10 overcome diff
iculties and embarrassment, and abi'-
ity enough to defend himself am
willing TO apologize by admitting that
was mistaken in my estimate. II
Mt. duF0nt can care TOT lIms6lf why
is he on the rostrtm2
When we recall how the State has
been traduced maligned, and vilifed
to sustain the code, is it any wonder
we have occasional departures from
civility in condemnation? Who has
declared our State ignorant. low and
degraded; who inspired and is respOn-
sible for the articles appearing in the
New York sun, with the widest pos
sible dissemination throughout the
world, depicting child-slavery, cat-o-
nine-tails, and brutal foster parents?
The people cannot separate the re-
aFAAoAHAAAAN VI AAAN hAAAAlAt4AlOAA II OlA AlAN
chief defenders of the code. and in
comparison with the whole State thus
slandered and insulted what is
slight personal offense to Mr.. dupont?
With all the scandal thus connected
with the State. not an editorial has
appeared condemnatOry. Instead OF
laundering forth its anathema, the
press has republished the scandals, to
give them wider circulation through
out the State Is the press so venal
that 1t has lost all idea of decency and
responsibility; has it no shame? Del
aware journalism never has been so
prostituted as in defense Of the schOOi
code; it is a stencil in the nostrils OF
decency.
The new code confers upon guber-
Material appointees the power to Sc
lect school sites, alter boundaries. con-
struct buildings. issue bonds, remove
Officials elected by popular vote"
with all their rulings having the
force of law" 1t is the most auto
cratic law that was ever on the Stat
ute book of a free State; abandoning
everything democratic, it is in itself
"reactionary" and un-American. This
is why we hate and oppose it.
Yours for the new New Code.

TEACHERS MUST GET MORE
MONEY FOR THEIR WORK

(The following letter came to the
Editor this week, and it is from the
pen of a teacher in the public schools
of Delaware. 1t is important because
it is one of the fundamental truths
undertaking improvement in our pub
lie school methods, and emphasizes
the fact that the teachers to become
experts in the imparting of education
theories and principles, must be en-
abled to live without the wear and
disturbing fact of worrying as to how
they are to live upon the salary they
receive. No man or woman can be
expected to make a profession Of
teaching on a salary which is no more
than a bare living, and this is the un-
derlying thought of the letter from
teacher in the Delaware schools, which
is published below.-Editor)
Harbeson, Del, Dec. /, 1919.
Mr.. Editor:
We have heard and read numerous
communications in regard to our pres
ent government of schools, and the
new school code.
At this time calling attention to the
fact that all teachers appreciate the
kind gift of Mr.. DUPONT, and the un-
tiring efforts of Mr.. Spaid and CO.
workers for the equipment and in be-
half of all educational work. But
such will never be accomplished even
if each school building in the State
would be erected at cost of two
the teachers in the
schools are provided with a Giving
wage, a reasonable compensation for
their services.
am enclosing a poem in accordance
with this, and it is very true in a
teachers life.
Many of our law makers and also
our tax payers do not seem to realize
that a small cog in the machinery of
is the individual who has
10 battle with the high cost of living,
and in exactly the same towns and
as the well-paid superintend-
ents, commissioners, etc.
While this is only a small item, it is
an important one and I hope that the
reader will THINK while reading the
verses.
A. Delaware Teacher.

SPARE THE QUAIL

DO not try to get the last bird in
the covey when you are out after quail.
There is no honor in such feat. The
last few birds are no harder to hit
than the first ones. This not only
demonstrates poor craftsmanship but
lack of fOre-thought If the hunter
intends to hunt the same country
next year, it is a wise plan to leave
five or six quails in a covey. Remem-
Der, when the hunter has finished, the
hawks, foxes and other roaming ami
mails will get their share. Think Of all
these things, and remember that at
least one pair of birds must be left
for next spring" says The Hunter
Of Columbus. Ohio
Did you ever hear a trombone laugh?
Well. you can. Get the new Victor
dance record. yellow Dog Blues"
and laugh yourself. Evans & Son.
