House next Wednesday. Much has
been written and said about the
actions Of the people during those
trying times when the Huns swept
over the city and dropped their
tons of death on the fear-stricken
population. But Miss Gish can
show just what people in their
homes did, for she experienced
nine air raids during her stay in
London.
Miss Dorothy states that it was
a common occurrence for people
in London to have their tubs sc

Something About ''The Willow
Tree

Cherry blossoms under a red
moon of Nippon is the setting for
the beautiful oriental fantasy,
"The Willow Tree" which will be
given next Monday night as a High
School Alumni benefit.
In this production starring Miss
Viola Dana she has the most color
full and picturesque role of her
career, that of the appealing little
japanese maiden who came to life
from a wooden image.
Ned Hamilton left England for
Japan, after being Tilted by his
fiancee for richer man. How
he bought a wooden image from
an old wood-carver, and how II
came to life in the form of a Jap,
anese girl, whom Hamilton came
to love, only to lose her at last, is
but a part of this delightful fan
tasy of old Japan. 1t is a 'beautl
full love story beautifully produc
ed.
1t is a gorgeous picture, wherein
ancient legend and modern fac
meet in a warning clash of inter
ests. 1t is the heart of pagan
Japan, exotic and colorful, AM
permeated with the sweetest an
most romantic of love stories.

MODEL ONE-TEACHER
COLORED SCHOOLS
TO BE ERECTED
First to be Constructed from
dupont Fund at Christi
ana, Hockessin and
Marshallton

Three one teacher colored
schools will be built as rapidly as
conditions will permit, at Christi
ana, Hockessin and Marshallton.
The work will be begun this week.
The site for these buildings, the
first to be constructed out of the
dupont Trust Fund, has been the
subject of much study on the part
of the State Board of Education.
They are to serve as. models of
varying types to which school men
may look until final plans for a
statewide building program are
adopted.
The schools designed by Gull
bert and Betelle, architects, of
Newark, N. j., are to be attractive
ly modern, conforming to the best
that is known in one-school build
ing-standard in every detail and
a model for the homes of the COM
munity.
The construction work will be
done by the dupont Engineering
Company under the direction of A.
J. Taylor.
At Hockessin the new colored
school building is to be of brick
veneer with slate roof. An attrac-
tive porch features the center of
the front wall, with cloak and
toilet rooms on either side; the
dimensions of the building are 4e
feet inches by 81 feet a inches
A vestibule leads to the schooI
room proper, in size 23xS2 feet
Windows occupy the entire real
wall space. To the left of the
schoolroom is a work-room 23xll
to be equipped for manual train
ing and cooking classes. Th'
schools will be furnished will
movable furniture so that th'
building may be adaptable to even
ing use for adult community gath
erings. The site for the new build
ing adjoins the Odd Fellows Hal!
in the center of the village, an
includes about two acres.
The school at Marshallton is, O.
the contrary, to be frame builc
ing located on lot adjoining an
including the site of the preser
school building. The entrance
cloak and toilet rooms are at tn
extreme left, the windows on tn
side, and the work room in tn
rear resulting in a building havin
practically the same space but el
tirely different in appearance fro
the Hockessin building.
At Christiana the new school
to be located on the easterly sit
of the road running from Christ
ana to Stanton, north of the tow
proper, and not more than on
quarter of a mile from the pre-
ent school. 1t is very similar
the Marshallton school SO far
general specifications are concer
ed, differing only in general a
rangement. Here the windov
will occupy the front wall and Il
workroom will lie to the rear
the schoolroom. The schools a
being built to accommodate
children. 1t is believed they w
be complete in about six weel
and each cost from ten to tWel
thousand dollars. Immediate
following their completion and
the light of the experience tn
obtained, building operations on
statewide scale, so far as color
schools are concerned, will be
gun.
