might be remedied, denouncing in
no uncertain terms the complais-
ance Of the ordinary citizen with
regard to this matter.
He lauded P. S. dupont for his
generosity and added that, "Due
to his largeness of vision, and the
foresight and generosity of the
Service Citizens Of Delaware, i'm
making wise provision for the re-
cruiting of teachers for our lower
schools, we can look forward for
the next two or three years to a
healthy increase in quality and
numbers in this most important
work, but if we propose to MAIN
tain our presnet standards and look
forward to a natura progressive
growth, we must look to the State
and community for greater finan-
cial support than we have had in
the past. The Legislature in it's
past two sessions have been most
liberal to us and have given us
all we have asked for, but the work
is growing on our hands and must
be taken care off,"
He also made specific announce
ments concerning the scholarships
offered at Women's College for the
next two years.

a faculty meeting to decide upon
the momentous question of grant
ing diplomas to the members of
the Senior class constituted the
Glass Day exercises at Delaware
College on Saturday morning.
Albert S. Walton in the role of
"Hazo" Barton set the room to
rights and remained a privileged
listener to the discussion of the
merits and dement's of the candi-
dates for degrees.
Headed by President Mitchell
edward S. Cannon, the faculty"
filed in, huge placards announcing
the identity of the members. Prev
ious to the roll call, DR.. Mitchell
discovered that three members
were absent and asked information
concerning their whereabouts. Be-
fore he had finished speaking the
''inseparables," DR.. Harter (W.
Scott Levey), Prof. NJ. V. Smith
(J. Willard Humphrey, and Prof.

thermore, =" to a motion to dis
pense with the reading of the min
utes. He was overruled, however,
and the meeting proceeded. The
president, appealed for each stu
dents record, to the head of the
department in which he special
lied. Sundry humorous reasons
why the diploma should be with
1'held and the student retained for
another year, were given by the
pseudo professors and in one not
table instance by Miss Pilling (J.

The axle of the two wheels upon

Ii some one should say eff the me-
groes should attempt Bolshevism the
white people would rise up and exter-
inmate them, my reply would be that
the negroes would never start Boil
sheVism, that this is a white mans
movement; but that white men are ac-
customed to take negroes into their
movements when they think that the
presence of the negores will help out
the cause which they espouse. The
Germans sought negro cooperation in
the world war, and the Allies were de-
lighted when they were certain that
the negroes had sided with them. II
! Bolshevism spreads in this country,
the white people are sure to be di-
Vided on the subject, and the force and
influence of ten millions of negroes in
such case would tell nightly either
for or against Bolshevic wickedness In
the United States.
The negroes are not yet even think
ing of Bolshevism; while the real Lead
ers among them are placing them
selves between those mischief makers
and the masses, with the determine
ton to fight to the last the dreaded
evil. But no one can do much fight
ing without weapons. And the great
est weapon in the hands of the loyal
negro leader, would be the fact of
marked improvement in the conditions
above enumerated The constituted
authorities can furnish this weapon,
if they will without injuring anybody.
In my judgment, such improvements
would be a statesmanic stroke at q
strategic moment For such would in
sure the influence of twelve million
negroes against an influence that
threatens the safety of organized au-
thority the world over.
