Another Era of Good Feeling7'

One hundred years ago, James Monroe,
one Of the great leaders Of the Democratic
party in the early period Of our countrys
history. was reelected President of the
United States. He received every electoral
vote but one, and that one was withheld
by the man who cast il only on the ground
that no other man but the great Washing
ton should have the distinguished honor Of
a unanimous reelection. This notable
event went into history as an inauguration
Of the Ezra OF Good Feeling.
There is no possibility Of such result
attending today's election for President,
but there is encouraging probability Of a
result that would truly inauguTate an
other Era of Good Feeling, z such as that
which heralded the reelection of Presl-
dent Monroe. century ago We have
Just gone through a campaign remarkable
for its surface apathy, but also remarkable
Tor an amazing prevalence Of bitterness.
misrepresentation and distortion Of the
real issues In no better manner could
these malign influences be rebuked and
the way opened to another Era Of Good
Feeling than by the election Of Governor
James NJ. Cox Of Ohio as one of the worthy
successors to President James Monroe

MUST NOT CROWD GROWING
CHICKS IN NIGHT QUARTERS

Growing chicks must not be conf
ned to crowded quarters at night. If
they are, they will become overheated
and this in turn will lead to the de-
velopment of colds of which it is very
difficult to rid the flock and which
may be carried along through the
summer and fall, causing a serious
outbreak of colds in the laying flocks
the following winter.
How can one tell whether or not
the chickens have enough room? One
of the best indications is the condi-
ton of the plumage. If the plumage is
bright and clean it is a good sign that
the birds are doing well and have
room enough. If the plumage is soiled
by droppings, it is an indication that
there is not room enough for all of
them on the roosts, with the result
that some are compelled to rest on
the floor beneath the rosts and thus
become soiled.
A trip to the growing house after
dark will also determine whether
enough room is being provided. If
there is not space enough so that all
the chickens can find room on the
roosts, the quarters are too crowded
and some of the chickens must be
taken out. If all can find room on
the roosts comfortably and if the
house is well ventilated, the quarters
are not crowded and the youngsters
should do well.

WILMINGTON STATE FAIR

In addition to the regular exhibits
that this year are much greater in
number and more diversified than on
anv previous year, the Delaware State
Fair which opens at Elsmere, on La
bor Day, September 6, and continues
for five days, will provide some OF the
best horse and automobile racing,
vaudeville, fireworks and the largest
midway in the history of the Fair As
sociation.
Because of the large number of en-
tries. the Judging of horses in the
horse show will very likely begin at
1890 o'clock each morning, so that
there will be something going on
practically from then until the same
hour in the evening.
Every afternoon and evening there
will be horse racing. Harness events
in the afternoon and running races in
the evening. Some of the speediest
specimens of horseflesh that are fol-
lowing the fairs and track events. are
entered in the lists and seven states
have sent representatives to compete
for prizes.
On Labor Day there is a big double
bill in the afternoon, there being
thrilling automobile races as well as
the harness events. Roy Freck, who
has successfully directed the auto
contests at the Fair for several years,
has lined up some daredevil drivers
who do not hesitate to take a chance
if there is the least opportunity of
winning a race.
During the time the races are in
progress both afternoon and evening,
a vaudeville program of a dozen num-
bers will be given opposite the grand
stand. The program embraces some
of the most skillful and humorous of
acrobatic performers, as well as eX-
pert high tight wire walkers.
Every evening at the close Of the
running races there will be display
of fireworks fully up to the standards
Of ether years, and which feature has
proven a source of much interest to
those who visit the fair after sup
per-
The midway-the chief source of
pleasure for many seeking amuse-
ment, will be there with all the old
and many new tricks and diversions
to entertain. There are two score of
ways in which a visitor can be en-
tertained and special plans have been
made for the entertainment of the
children.

The EDUCATION OF
The DELAWARE BLIND

At the annual meeting of the COM
mission for the Blind" held on April
%. 1920. the most important matter
considered was the case of two grad
mates of the Overbrook School for the
Rlind. these young people, boy and
girl having shown great ability and
fine spirit were candidates for high
er education for which las such cases
are rare), no provision has ever been
made and no scholarships are open to
Delaware pupils in the various col
leges and institutions of higher train
ING. A cordial letter was received
from Dr. Mitchell of Delaware Col
lege. who with his staff had examined
the candidate and urged his martricu
lation in Delaware College, suggest
ing. however, that such action be de-
ferred for another year on account
of the boys youth and to allow for
additional preparatory study, a SINH
lar testimonial concerning the girl
pupil. who has shown considerable
musical ability, was received from
Mr.. o. H. Burritt including a recon-
mendation that she be entered as
pupil of the Peabody Institute of
Baltimore.
Because of the promising outlook
the commission felt especially con-
cerned and obligated itself to pro-
vide for the higher education of these
two pupils. These cases are espec-,
tally significant pointing as they do,
to the high degree of opportunity en-
ioyed by the blind children in Della
ware under the present system, at
the great Educational Institutions for
the Blind in neighboring states.
Many other examples of the profcien-
cy obtained by graduates of the
schools at Baltimore and Overlook
are with us today, showing remark
able facility in earning ample liveli-
hood. A rigid investigation for blind
children in Delaware disclosed but
twelve of all classes and grades, /
black and white, who are of school
age, and who are capable of being
educated. Ten of these are now in
school and we hope to get the con-
sent of the parents to send the other
two next term, when these facts are .
considered it will be easily seen
what advantages the Delaware pupils /
have in these great institutions. A
EuI6Oll
the wonderful equipment .
and specialized instruction which is
provided in a great and varied curri-
culum in each department, including
experts in every line in the academic
course, special books, highly trained
musical instructors, piano tuning, and
repairmen, chair Gamers, broom maxi
ers, dictaphone operators and typists.
In a letter from the principal of
one of tlrese great schools the fact
is cited that the actual cost of tuition
per pupil in his school has amounted
to six hundred year, whereas
against the State for a Delaware pu-
pill was but three hundred seventy
five, the difference being provided
for by an endowment fund. 1t is safe
t osay that no such advantages as our
pupils are now enjoying could possi-
bly, be given them in any other man
ner, at many times the present cost
to the State.
