No, the issue is clear cut: either allegiance
to the Constitution of the United States, or
allegiance to the League of Nations. Either
government from Washington or government
from Geneva. But you cannot have both at
once!
The United States would be obligated by
Article X to guarantee the territorial integrity
OF many nations, found in every part of the
globe, populated by all the different races Of
people and nationalities, including the strong
as we'll as the weak nations, some unable yet
to stand alone and others vergng on collapse
and dissolution. We should inevitably and
constantly be involved in expensive and bloody
wars.
We cannot allow the constitutional rights
OF Congress to be impaired by any agreements
such as are presented in Article X. Nor can
we run any risk of being charged with bad|
faith for getting out of contract into when
we entered too lightly-and too sentimentaE'l
No American soldiers and sailors must bel
sent to fight in other lands at the bidding OF Al
League of Nations. If American lives are tot
be sacrificed in war, it must be the command oil
the American people, acting through their conf
stltutional representatives in Congress.

DIRECTOR OF VOCA.
TIONAL AGRICULTURE
MAKES FINE REPORT
DR.. R. w. Helm Reviews
Achievements for Year
In Delaware

An illuminating report of the work
accc mplished in vocational education
in the State was made by DR.. R. w,
Heir director of Vocational Educa-
ticn for Delaware in his report to the
Federal Board at Washington. The
progress of the work for the past
year, together with the splendid spirit
of progress and the forward looking
policy of the whole personnel of the
teaching staff is indisputable evidence
of successful leadership on the part of
State Director Helm.
The following statement is made
with regard to the status of the De-
partment and it's finances:
The Federal Act was accepted by
State statute approved April 2, 1917,
The State Board of Education is de-
signed as the State Board for Voca-
tional Education. The act of accept
ance was incorporated as part of
the general school code by the legis-
lation of 1919. when the entire educa-
tional program for the state was re-
organized.
"No work of a Vocational character
was carried on prior to 1917 when the
Federal Vocational law was passed.
"The amount of State funds appro'
priated annually for the biennial per.
iod 1919-1921' is $20,000.00. This
amount matches the amount to be re-
ceived from Federal Funds. An an,
nual appropriation of $4,000 is also
Newark post., 1920-10-06

made for the administration and sup
-ervision of Vocational Education. In
addition to these specific appropria-
tions by the State legislature $4,000
has been given by the Service Citizens
Organization to supplement the State
and Federal Funds for Vocational
Education for the biennial period
1919-1921.
The report in part says:
Agricultural Education.
"a full time supervisor of agricul-
ture is employed. During the year
eighteen schools were organized, and
increase of $50 per cent over the pre-
vious year when only five schools re-
ceived aid. The enrolment increased
from 65 to 272 during the year, an in
crease of 31S per cent. The returns
from supervised practical work in ag
riculture will amount to approximate
ly $4S,01S.
"The outlook for Vocational Agri-
cultural Education in Delaware is dis
tinctly encouraging. Several new
schools will be added this year.
delaware College continued to
train teachers for the Board. Oppor-
tunity for Practice Teaching is pro-
vided for in the High Schools of the
neighboring towns where approved
agricultural departments are organ
lied. The Professor of Agricultural
Education is also the State Director
for Vocational Education.
Home Economics Education.
"a full time supervisor of Home
Economics is employed. During the
year sixteen departments of Home
Economics were organized, an in
crease of 320 per cent. over the prev
ious year, when only five schools were
offering work in accordance with the

rollment of eleven, all of whom have
been employed as instructors for the
coming year. In addition to the regu-
lar Teacher Training Course a series
of Professional Improvement confer
ences were held over period Of ten
weeks. Outside speakers assisted the

In the Second Place, 1t Began With Com
promises-and Would End With Them

In order to have Japan friendly in the
League it was judged necessary to have the
peace treaty allow Japan to get control of
Shantung-the rightful property of China. And
the result naturally enough was that China
would have none of the League. If Shantung
had been taken from her by war. of aggres-
sion, she might as reasonably have placed her
hope of future protection in the robbng nation
as in this League of Nations Secretary
Lansing, we remember, disagreed with the
President entirely as to the necessity" of that
compromise. But the President stood for it-as
fragrant violation of friendly nation as can
be instanced.
When the members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee went to the White House
in that memorable interview to talk over the
League covenant with the President, Senator
Johnson of California asked the President why
the decision reached so to sacrifice China's
rights.
The President: "It was reached because
we thought it was the best that could be got
in view of the definite engagements of Great
Britain and France"

Senator Harding, the other day, in talking
to group of Grand Army men said:
Have you ever stopped to think that we, one
people with naturally one interest We're led
into the civil war by mere ambiguity in the
Federal Constitution? In the beginning we
were divided in our ideas that there was of
necessity uncertainty left in the compact that
was made and it required the Civil War to wipe
it out. And that a very great price to pay
= Knowing the cost of wiping out the
ambiguity in the Constitution of our own Re-
public how can we ever consent to enter into

In the Third Place the Covenant Violates
the Constitution of the United States
1t does so in several places but most not
ably with reference to Article X, the "heart of
the League" Refresh your minds on the
famous Article x. Here it is in full:
The members of the League undertake to
respect and preserve as against external agrees
sion the territorial integrity and existing poll
teal independence of all members of the
League In case of any such aggression, or in
case OF any threat or danger of such aggres-
sion, the council shall advice upon the means
oy which this obligation shall be fulfilled"
This is fatty against the Constitution of the
United States. Under the Constitution of the
United States the Congress alone has the power
TO declare war; and all bills to raise revenue
or aHectlng the revenue in any way must origi-
nate IN the House of Representatives, be passed
by the Senate and receive the signature of the
President. 0
Yet Article X would send this country into
wars not declared by the Congress of the
United States but by the League of Nations,
lrue' as the President pointed out, the Con.
gress could vote not to follow the mandate of
tne League OF Nations. But in that case we
would be breaking our contract obligations
with the League After all there is only one
way to perform a contract obligation and that
is to perform it,

But State Board Of Education
Dicussed Matter At Balti-
more Meeting Yesterday
DIR. STEPHENS HOLDS ON

The State Board of Education took
no action at its meeting in Baltimore
yesterday toward selecting a success
sor to the State superintendent.
Therefore, DR. NJ Bates Stephens, the
incumbent, whose term expires on
June 1, holds over temporarily
1t Is believed probable that definite
steps will be taken. Two meetings
are TO be held next month. The fact
that Dr. Stephens was not reelected
yesterday, the last meeting day be-
fore the end of his term, was taken TO
indicate that the Board was not ready
to return him TO office.
There is a possibility, of course.
that further consideration will incline
the majority of the Board more fav-
orably to DR.. Stephens and there also
is the fact that, even if the majority is
dissatisfied with his work. a better
equipped man may not be located. But
when the Boards session ended yes
terday the chances were distinctly
against Dr. Stephens. Apparently. AL
bert S. Cook, superintendent of Bal
timore county, and G. II. Reavis. now
assistant superintendent. are in the
forefront of those considered.
A little later. DR. Stephens spoke in
defense of his work. He said that the
compulsory attendance feature of the
school law of 1916 cannot remove il
iteracy in couple of years. and that
he understood that the figures used by
the Sage Foundation were those of
1918. He went on to say that mis-
takes are made in gathering data for
comparisons as between States, and
cited an injustice done Maryland in
1912. when Baltimore city's invest
ment in school buildings was left out
of consideration. He also said that
the data gathered from the several
States is not uniform in character.
"If the Russell Sage Foundation"

real contribution to education, 1t will
make up its own forms for a survey,

TONY, THE CONVICT"
REPEATED WITH SUCCESS

None in the large audience at st.
Mary's Hall last night who witnessed
the splendid production of the comedy
dFamas Tony, the Convict" by cast
of amateurs, but who is unstinted in
their praise for the actors.
The show, which was given the
week previous, was repeated with
equal success, and the cast We'd with
each other in interpreting their re-
spective parts true to life.
Mr. Banks in the title role proved
himself capable actor, above the
class of amateurs. Miss Helen Will
son, as the heroine, won popular
favor, her action throughout the play
chasing her with professionals.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of Mr.. Macaluso, who appeared in the
play for the first time before the foot
lights. He made great hit, his fall
in the first act, at once ranking him as
a clever actor.
MIR. Martin was himself. which
means he is always good in whatever
character he assumes, and in the
darkey character he was superior.
Miss Cantler, Miss Kimball and Miss
Lorea, all deserve praise for their ex-
cellent portrayal of their respective
parts, as does Alvin Turner and John
Musterman. AS whole the show was
highly pleasing. well presented and
entertaining and the cast has added
another star in its armament of glory.
