SCHOOL OFFICIALS
TO AID LABOR
COMMISSION
Provisions Of Code Make
Superintendents Issuance
Officers for Work
Certificates

Under the provision of the New
School Code, the county and school
superintendent will assist the
Labor Commission of Delaware in
the issuance of employment certi-
ficates to children who may apply
for them and who are qualified to
receive such certificates.
Last year about 800 certificates
were issued during the summer
vacation, but this year the number
has been held to less than half the
number issued last year. The
Labor Commission has required
that certain amount of school
work shall have been completed
in all cases where certificates have
been issued. Another feature this
year is that a larger number of

owners of the pond and Webb s
mill property, are undecided as to
the future of this once picturesque
and beautiful body of water The
lake, now completely emptied by
the break, may be abandoned and
the mill run by gasoline or electric
motive power.
Smyrna folks are deeply agi-
tated about the matter and want
to see the present causeway repair
ed and Lake Como kept up. Town
Council may be importuned to take
hand in the matter although the
town is only responsible in keeping
up the road over the causeWay.

children will go back to school this
fall.
The tax on child labor, recently
incorporated in the revenue bill, is
another feature that has resulted
in a great Improvement in child
labor conditions. Many local plants
will not employ children under
sixteen years of age on account Of
the revenue provision.
Formerly the Labor Commission
has been greatly Handicapped by
not having sufficient issuing Of
ficers, but now under the provi-
sions of the code they will have
plenty of help. The Labor Com
mission of Delaware desires to CO.
operate in every way with the State
Board of Education, who in turn
are lending their fullest support
to the Labor Commission.

er mayor and city councilman and
eX-Representative Of Delaware Gen

IA, 1863, and was admitted to the
Sussex County Bar in 1855. He

He was considered an able practi-
toner. For many years he had
been closely identified with school
work in Sussex county and was in
strumental in obtaining for George
town the commercial branch con-
nected with the public school.
On the day of the accident he was
standing on the sidewalk talking
to Miss Clarabell Flagg, the county

machine driven by John Murray,
which was headed coward RehO-
both, got amost abreast, he sudden
ly turned and started to cross the
street, with the result that he was
hit. Examination proved that he
sustained a broken arm, fractur-
ed skull and several severe scalp
wounds.

WOMAN TAUGHT BOYS
TO TOOT THEIR WAY
THROUGH COLLEGE
Head of Southern School
Gives Musical Educa-
ton as Aid to Earn
ing Tuition

Troubadours Of old paid for the
hospitality of the barons with their
songs. North Carolina boys Of to-
day are learning to pay for college
leducations with the music Of their
comets, clarinets, trombones and
drums.
There's a patient little woman
down in Beaufort who devised the
idea. She is Mrs. Mamie p. Geff-
roy, head of st. Paul'S School there.
For years she has been the kindly
mother to the boys and girls Of the
district who have come to St. Paul s
School to study at this Episcopal
Church institution, and to help
themselves win an education that
would fit them for the future.
How could these children with
small means get the higher educa-
ton that so many of them were
eager? Mrs. Geffroy puzzled over
the problem. Then she organized
the band Of St. 'Paul's School.
Every bright little youngster who
had lungs strong enough to play
an instrument. or muscle enough to
manage drum sticks or cymbals was
given his chnace to learn and quail
| fy.
Mrs. Geffroy decided that by the
time they had finished the regular
courses at st. Paul s, these young
bandsmen would be experienced
enough to earn part Of their tut
tion at a higher institution by play
ing in college bands or other musi-
cal organizations.
Now the band Of st. Paul s, in
which the students Of the school are
accmulating their musical cur
rency, is one of the prides Of Beau
fort. And the boys have proved
that their musical medium of eX-
change is sound. When a speaker
came to ask them to help in a rec
ent relief campaign, though they
had no money themselves, they did
not fail him. They marched out
into the main street. Of Beaufort
and gave concert. And the speak.
er went away with $50 more for
,, the relief fund.
War played havoc with St
Paul's All of the older student,
went off into the service, and some
. of them did not come back. Teach
ers left the faculty, either to enter
the army or to take up other work

SECOND FERRY FOR CHESAPEAKE


At a meeting of farmers and
business men in the proposed estab-
lishment of a second ferry system
across the Chesapeake Bay from
the Eastern Shore counties, it has
been finally decided to locate the
Eastern Shore end of the ferry at
Rock Hall, and the citizens of that
town have already raised nearly
1918. 600 for the enterprise.
The establishment OF this ferry
will bring the people closer to Balti-
more. as the trip can be made be-
tween Rock Hall and Baltimore IN
less than two hours.
