Everything in Readiness
For Production of
English PLAYS

Everything is in readiness for
the production of Abraham and
Isaac" and "Everyman," to be
given in Wolf Hall on Thursday
night, by the Sophomore class of
W. c. d. The casts of both plays
have been working steadily, and
every rehearsal shows marked
signs of Improvement. A dress re-
hearsal was held in Wolf Hall on
Tuesday night, and though the usu-
al difficulties of a dress rehearsal
were conspicuous by their presence
still everything points to a most
successful performance.
The executive staff has been
working with will, and each COM
mittee has accomplished much.
Perhaps the most hard working
committee has been that of the
costumes. Miss Florence Hub
bard, as faculty advisor and chief
planner of costumes, has given
much of her valuable time and
services, which will be proved at
the performance on Thursday
evening.
The business manager announc.
es a large sale of tickets. The
performance begins at 8 p. m. or
the dot.

AUTHOR DEPICTS
r ACTION AT IRON HILL
IN REVOLUTION
In The True Lafayette" He
Tells Romance of Della
wares Highest Hill

For all the dwellers around Iron
Hill, Delaware, there has been drawn
the ppretty picture of Washington,
Lafayette and Greene on that height
by George Morgan in his volume,
"The True Lafayette" In treating
the manoeuvre of Washington's army,
leading up to the Battle Of the Bran
dywine, this sketch is given: "Iron
Hill invited Washington's eye, as he
rode over the debatable ground be-
tween his own forces and the enemy.
Lafayette and Greene were with him;
and together they ascended the
height. Here it was, according to
Francis Vinton Greene, that General
Nathaniel first made Lafayette's ac-
quaintance, "and began that warm
friendship which co.iclnued unbroken
throughout the remaining years of
Greene's life, and after his death was
extended by Lafayette to Greene's
son and grandson" The three, with
their aides, must have made an inter-
esting group as they reined their
horses on the crest of the highest hill
in Delaware. To the east, looking
back toward their own army, they saw
the broad vavlley of the Christiana,
the far-away housetops in Whining
ton and the mile-wide river with it's
many sails. Northward was Newark
with it's one long street, now the seat
of Delaware College, then a fine old
academic town, where three signers
of the Declaration Of independence
had got their schooling; and just be-
yond Newark was as lovely a range
Of hills as one need wish to see
beautiful hills rolling down out OF
Pennsylvania, and bringing with
them in their north and-south ravines
such ripping, foaming streams as the
White Clay, the Red Clay, Pike Creek
Mill Creek and the Brandywine
Along which of these would Washing
ton draw his, liAe of defense?
Greene's first line was wiped out b.
events, Then, by Greene's advice, tn,
Red Clay position was speedily aban
doned as untenable. Howe marche,
through Newark, seized the strageti
cal roads up in the hills at Hockessi,
and quickly concentrated at Kennel
Square on the old highway that ha
Lcen cut in the wilderness, in William
Penn's time.

Local Teachers to
Take Part in Educa-
ton Meeting
Will Attend Dover Conference
Program for Organization Of State
Association Now Complete

arrangements to attend a
conference in Dover next Friday
and Saturday, when an effort will
be made to form State Teachers
Association.
This movement has the endorse
men and the enthusiastic support
of the State officials. The move
ment in Delaware is part of a great
natural movement growing out of
the needs Of the teachers for the
inspiration and enthusiasm which
comes of personal contact and
conference with others who are
solving the same problems. An
exchange of thoughts and ideas
will, in the opinion of those who
are initiating the movement, mean
much towards forwarding educa-
tional development in the State,
land molding public sentiment to
work for the good of the children.
The need of organization to de-
velop initiative and a sense of re-
sponsibility is conceded to be ma
Etion-wide need and is recognized as
such by keen analysts OF democra-
cy.
The organization committee has
perfected plans for dinner on
Friday evening Nov. 81 when
George D. Strayer will speak and
prominent Delawareans will give
their views on this movement.
Sectional meetings will be held
Saturday morning in which the
teachers will discuss professional
topics and organization will doubt
less be perfected at a general
meeting which will follow. Lunch
con will be served and a brief ses-
sion will probably be held in the
afternoon.
Several local representatives
will take part in the program.
Miss Alva Lockhart, primary
teacher will read paper on
Primary Seat Work." Miss
Madge Richards will give demon
stration of paper folding; DR.. K.
; R. Greenfield will discuss "His-
= tory; and Miss Mary Houston, En-
} glish.
Miss Agnes Snyder is chairman
of the organization committee.
Miss Dora Wilcox will have charge
= of the music, Everett C. Johnson
will be toastmaster and DR.. S. G.

Would Not Sell Now

Question-some time ago I bought
at 7s1a $1,000 bond Baltimore &
Ohio ~ convertible), due 1888. 1t was
bought on the partial payment plan.
was told these bonds were legal invest
ments for the New York savings banks :
naturally thinking, then, they were
good investment. These bonds have
since dropped to 81, and am beginning
to think they are not safe, as there are
so many being sold. Do you consider
them safe? Would you advise me to
hold it or sell "A. l..
Answer-We can see no good reason
why you should sell now Legislation
for the return of the railroads to pri-
vate operation is about to be enacted,
which. we believe, should ultimately
improve the position of holders of rail-
road securities in general. Baltimore
q Ohio convertible AZ per cent bonds
have not only felt the depressing in
f1uence of the decline in the stock, but
have shared in the general decline in

brought about by the high rates for
