HOSPITAL DRIVE.
From The Wicomico News.
The article appearing in these
columns last week giving notice to the
public that the directors OF the Pen
insula General Hospital intended to
start a dive in this county Tor the
purpose Of soliciting 100000 with
Which TO add the equipment and new
buildings necessary to make the Pen
insua General Hospital a thoroughly
up-lO-date institution was received by
our people in the spirit in which we
anticipated and already we have hau
word from any Of our prominent cit
.1ens that they would be glad to Co
operate in the achievement Of the con-
iemplated improvement.
No institution ever started in this
section Of Maryland has done so much
for humanity in relieving distress and
pain and in saving the lives of our in
habitants as has the work OF the Pen
lnsula General Hospital. The scope OF
its activities having extended far be-
yond the confines Of TIE States of
Maryland as the list or patients will
show. II has been an institution where
none was turned away VINO was
worthy of aid and the number Of
patients who have been treated there
could be counted into the thousands
and embraces all classes Of society
from prince to pauper. Because of this
fact, the appeal Of the Directors Will
we weel sure, strike most respon-
sive chord in the hearts OF thousands
Of our people who recognize the ad-
vantages of a larger institution Of lis
kind in our midst
The Directors will within the next
few weeks plan me campaign and ar
range the committees for the purpose
Of soliciting the money necessary TO
carry out the plans in contemplation.
That the scheme will be successful, We
nave not the slightest doubt, and VI as
20 be hoped that not only our ri.E
and prosperous people will have
part in it, but that an our citizens
without regard 10 race, creed or social
standing will take part in this move
menl so that we can make it cover
even a larger scope than was first cor
lemplaled.

smrpDING THE LIGHT OF TRUTH.

~ HAT was exceedingly gratifying and fruitful meet
ing in behalf Of the new school Code that was held
in Georgetown the county seat of SUSSEX last evening
Pierre 5 dupont the principal speakcrc discussed the
code and its operations such calm, dispassonate
busnesskc and convincing way that at the end of his
address he applauded heartily.
II has been in Sussex county that The great burden OF
the opposition to the school law has developed Mr.
dupont and his associates in the state Board Of Education
and the Service Citizens Of Delaware convinced fully
That the bulk of that opposition due to lack OF
Understanding of the code and its objects
They decided to go there and clear away the msun-
derstanding.
The Georgetown meeting held in line with that
purpose.
The result is highly pleasing to advocates OF better
educational conditions in Delaware.
The work should not stop with that Georgetown meet
ing There no town village in Sussex county in
which the minds Of men, women and children have not
been poisoned by those who attempting to use the
code the schools and the children political playthings
In each Of those and villages the light Of truth
should be shed upon the situation
When finally the people understand the real purposes
underlying the code they will be willing TO give it fair
trial
Given fair'tra It win work out its own vindication
and those who now oppose It will be among It's most
Earnest champions.
