VERY SUCCESSFUL

Browns business college and it's
alumni association last night en-
tertained more than 900 persons N

the annual excursion, and the col
lege students turned out nearly in
full force to dance away the hours
between 8 and IL O'Clock to the
music of the coliseum orchestra.
The dance floor was crowded near
ly all of the time, while the decks
were popular with promenaders.
The affair is counted a financial
and social success by its sponsors.

A cRlNcEws EDUCATIONAL SLOGAN.

$40 TAIISIICS tell us that have been sOrcy In need
~ OF changed school system In Delaware. Now that

ncsy recommend that declare ourselves in favor Of
the school law and that we give II undivided support"
That slogan in support Of the new School Code was
sounded at the annual meeting of the Delaware state
Grange in Dover yesterday by jacob H. Rosa Milford
state Master Of The Grange and Delawares most
prominent and hghy-respected farmers and citizens.
1t is slogan that should be echoed by every Della
parent; by every publcspiried and educaton-loy

Through their Vaccinations thousands Of poor boys
and poor girls have been deprived Of the liberal education

lions and have been sent out into the world poorly
equipped TO fight its battles.
While=tbe School Code is framed to benefit the
children Of ALL it is essentially measure designed to
shower life blessings upon the children Of parents who
cannot afford to send them to private schools.
It should be supported whole-heartedy 10y the father
