ANTI.SCHOOL CODE MEN
SHOULD READ THIS

There are seven hOld-oyer Republi-
can members of the State Senate. and
without question that body will be
controlled by the Republicans at the
next session of he legislature. Has it
ever occurred to you who are sup
porting the Democratic nominee for
Governor on the fact that he is said
to favor the amendment or repeal of
the school code, that should the Re-
publican members of the body refuse
to give him the desired changes he
would be powerless to change the
school laws. This may happen should
Democrat occupy the Governors
chair. The Republican nominee for
governor, Mr.. Denney. has assured
the people of the rural sections that
he will approve the action of the leg
islature in whatever changes they
should make in the school laws of
Delaware. Is it not to the interest of
those who desire changes in the
school laws to tie to the party which
will control one of the branches Of
the legislative body without doubt,
and which in all human probability
will control both bodies. A vote for
governor will assure you
a better chance of changing the school
laws than a vote for the Democratic
nominee. This is something that you
should think over carefully before
election day.

held a conference at Dover on Mon
day to discuss the most feasible way
of receiving suggestions as to correct
ing any parts of the school code,
should it be decided that more amend
ments are required. A committee of
thirty-fve representative citizens
from all over the State was requested
to write a school law for Delaware.
This means that the people will have
a modern school law, free from many
of the burdens of the present law,
presented to the next legislature. The
calibre of the men and women chosen
on the committee is such that Della
wareans can be assured that an act
will be drawn which will be satisfac-
tory to the great mass of citizens
who want better education but think
the administration of the present law
is too expensive.
Below is a copy of the letter sent
the Education Committee chosen by
the majority of the Senate, and below
same is a list of the men and women
asked to serve on said committee:
1T has become apparent to the
carry-over members of the State Sem
ate that the Delaware Legislature is,
in January, going to be confronted
with the question of either repeating
the entire law known as the School
Code and reYerting to the old law,
which, we think we will all agree, is
inadequate, or of having some mod
ern equitable school law drawn by
DeIawareans for Delawareans to pre-
sent in the place of this Act which
seems to have caused so much divis-
ion and dissension.
With this thought in mind, nine of
the ten carry-oyer members, being a
majority of the State Senate of Del
aware, met and discussed the school
situation and advised the appoint
ment of and did appoint a committee
of representative citizens of the State
of which you are one, who should be
requested to frame a modern school
law to be presented to the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly as a
substitute for the present School
Code.
The future welfare of our children
depends upon the exertion of thought
and energy by all of us at this time
The act should be drawn so that the
press of the State may have as much
time as possible before the convening
of the Legislature in January to IA
miliarize the people with is provis-
ions and receive their comment.

AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS ARE
MAKING OF GOOD CARPENTERS

The Agricultural class at Delmar
moved into new quarters this year.
When moving was done, just before
school opened, there were no tables
available and it was necessary to have
them in order to have something upon
which to work.
The class was not to be held up
and the boys decided to make the ta-
bles under the guidance of the in
structor and as part of the farm shop
work.
Three strong tables, thirty inches
wide and twelve feet long, were built
very efficiently for the cuts are
square, the joints snug, unions tight
and surfacing smoothly done. The
tables are not only excellent in ap-
pearance, but they are also strong
enough to stand hard wear and at
the same time, tight enough to be
easily handled and moved. Then they
were stained and vanished.
All of this work was done by the
boys in the department of Vocational
Agriculture and much credit is due
these young men for their enthusiasm
and efficiency in handling tools.

MILFORD PLAYER MADE GOOD

Everyone will remember Fred Will
ley who played on the Milford base
ball team for nearly two years. In
1919 he held the third bag and in 1920
played at short stop and pitcher. As
pitcher he showed his fellOw-players
that he really had the goods, for he
won every game in which he pitched
the whole nine innings. On July %,
he went with New Castle and out of
twenty-four games which he pitched,
he won twenty-five. This is an un-
usal record for one just starting out
and speaks well for our Milford boy.
Out of the above number. seven of the
games were shut outs and two no hit
games. After finishing the season
with New Castle, he signed up with
the Piedmont League for 1921. Fred
is the best kid pitcher" in the State
so let us give him our good wishes
for success.

A UNIQUE WINDOW DISPLAY

An unusual window display was no
ticed in Milford this week and is
mentioned because it appealed to
many, as being so much out of the or
binary. The L. d. Caulk Company
of this town has recently put upon
the market a new material to be used
for cleaning artificial plates and
bridges, and the attractiveness of the
package together with the artistic
W6y in which it has been presented
is well worthy of mention.
The local company which is the
largest manufacturer of dental fill
ing materials in the world is to be
congratulated upon launching this
new product on such a large sale as
to include advertising in all of its
forms even to attractive window dis
plays. One of our citizens while in

KENT POMONA GRANGE
HELD IN FELTON, THURSDAY, AND 81
MILFORD MEMBERS ATTEND.

Kent County Pomona Grange was
entertained at Grange Hall in FELTON,
on October 21st, by Trophy Grange
of FELTON,, assisted by Harrington and
Viola Oranges.
Notwithstanding the season of
year. the beautiful weather tempted
many from their work, and the at
tendance was very good. Milford
Grange was represented by thirty-one
members.
These countrywide Grange meet
ings are of great importance, as they
form a clearing house for the oranges
of certain vicinity, where affairs
OF local interest are discussed and
plans evolved for the betterment Of
agricultural conditions in that COM
munity.
The welcoming address was given
by Brother Hyde of FELTON, and was
responded to by Brother Dwight Long
of Capitol Grange. Both talks were
along the lines of unity, both social
and agricultural, in rural affairs, and
helped to show how the grange can
be of use in promoting this feature of
country life.
The program was given over to re-
ports from the various oranges, tell
ing of both success and failure along
certain lines and opinions the way
for later discussions Of ways and
means for remedying unfortunate
conditions. Music was furnished by
several of the grangers and was much
enjoyed as was the bountiful dinner
which is always a feature of Pomona
sessions.
Among the questions given serious
attention were the marketing of farm
products; the duties of legislators in
the coming session of the Assembly
as affecting rural conditions; the Jap
anese question now agitating the far
West. and various other topics Of To-
cal and national interest.
It was recommended that dues in
the subordinate oranges be increased
90 per cent in order to defray the
higher cost of conducting the busi-
ness of the order.
The next meeting will be held in
Milford in January.

DISPOsING OF Ex-PRESIDENTs

Until Colonel Roosevelt Objected
and showed the country otherwise.
the ex-presidents were usually has
beens." The question of what to do
with them has been debated since
General Washington retired to Mount
Vernon, almost crushed in spirit be-
cause of the ingratitude and abuse of
a large part of his fellow-co -countrymen.
Washington, as an eX-president was
about as popular as a wet night
among camper in the Adirondacks.
The long line of presidents who fol-
lowed him returned to private life
and permitted themselves to be tuck
ed away into comparative oblivion.
But Colonel Roosevelt set a new
style, and the American public well
coined the change. They continued
to listen most respectfully to the
counsel of ex-President Taft. Very
shortly the society of ex-presidents
will receive Woodrow Wilson as
new member, and doubtless before
the country gets around to wonder
what to do with him, he will have
settled the question for himself. AL
ready it is assumed in Washington
that Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson will make
their home in the District of Column
bia, and it is known that they have
been examining some of the fine res
idential properties with a view to-
wards purchasing. When the Presi-
dent was in Paris it was made known
that he would devote his time in
writing histories, upon the completion
of his term. 1t is taken for granted
among Washingtonians, that he will
take his typewriter and settle down in
a nice suburban home, and dispose of
himself in the above manner. How
ever, it may be expected that he will
feel that he belongs quite as much to
the public as Mr.. Taft, and the two
of them will doubtless be considered
as our great unofficial national coun-
selOrs.

GOVERNMENT STOPS PRIORITY
PERMITS FOR ROAD MATERIAL

The action of the Federal authori-
ties in summarily cancelling all per-
mits for the supply of road building
material, notice of which was re-
ceived last week, due to the coal sit
uation, is the cause of much appre-
hension in State highway circles. For
tunately a large proportion of the la
Dor can be shifted to grading work.
and as foresight has been exercised
in restricting the opening up of sec
tions tos correspond with supplies in
sight, no great inconvenience is an
ticipated through the leaving of gaps
in the sections under way, if the
worst happens.
A special visit to the Bureau of
Public Roads in Washington was
made by Mr.. Upham and members of
the State Highway Commission this
week in the endeavor to secure
of the order.
