A little school girl was heard to
complain the other day because
there was nothing left to do but
ordinary things" She said that
by the time she grew up every
thing would be as prosaic as
school teaching once was and she
would have nothing different" to
do. 1t probably does not look that
way to most girls, especially to-
day, since so many girls are doing
so many extraordinary things. Ev-
cry day brings news Of some wom-
an who is trying out or succeeding
in some new field, and there IL re-
ally no cause for alarm, for this
will continue as long as the world
goes on. There will always be
something different for the little
girl to do who really wants to
strike out into new fields-there is
always q chance for the pioneer.
Miss Gertrude Emerson. an at
tractive young woman who gradu-
ated not SO long ago from Chicago
university. Is about to start on .
very unusual assignment Of work.
particularly unusual. for q girl to
be attempting. Miss Emerson has
long been q student Of eastern life
and literature. and she has Just
sailed for the orient to film the lit
tle-known tribes of the far east.
Part Of her work will be done from
airplane. With such thrills in view
the little. school miss need never
worry about prosaic future.

Poet Praises Women.
Maurice Maeterlinck has thrown
a bomb into conservative french
literary circles by declaring that
women should be admitted into the
French academy. He says that
both Countess de Noailles and
Nine. Collette, distinguished au-
thors, ought long ago to have been
academicians. and that several
other women writer's are as wor-
thy Of the honor Of membership As
many men now in the academy.
He hopes the recently formed Bel
gian academy will decide to admit
women.

IN $4,000 BY SCHOOL MERGER

The New Castle County Board Of
Education has received from the super.
intendent of county schools a report OF
the results of. the consolidation of the
following nine schools: Brown Cottage.
Eight Square, Armstrong, Mill Lane,
McDonough, Dales Corner. Matthews s
Corner and Fieldsboro. The report
states ''it is possible, due to the small
attendance at these schools, to take
care of the pupils with three buses and
two additional teachers. 1t has cost to
operate a one room school this year on
an average Of $1,000. This would make
a cost of $4,000 for these nine schools if
they had been operating independently.
To operate them in consolid alton costs
5000 for automobiles buses, figuring
one-quarter for depreciation. The
total cost, including interest on invest
ment, depreciation, two teachers, cost
of operating buses and salaries of bus
drivers is $6987. 20. New Castle county
gains by the transactions $2012. 80.
Each of the buses going to Odessa and
Townsend make trip to Middletown
with high school pupils, which of
course, is not direct result of consoli-
dation.''

SELECT SEED CORN CAREFULLY

That the farmers of New Castle
County should be on their guard relative
to their seed corn for 1920 was clearly
demonstrated when six samples of corn
taken from as many different commu-
mites were tested at the farm bureau
office and showed an average germina-
ton test of 73%. The following are
the individual tests, 88%, 89%, 90%,
76%, 25% and 71%.
These tests are dangerously low and
farmers cannot give too much attention
to eliminating dead ears and those with
low vitality.
The dead ears can be determined by
inspection, but the ears with low vital
ity which will probably never get
through the ground and which are more
prevalent than the dead ears, can be
determined only by the termination
test.
There are number of methods of
running the individual ear termination
test, the most satisfactory of which
are the box divided into squares with
cord, and the rag doll. The Farm
Bureau Office at Newark can provide
information on either method.

Trucks Saved Many Farmers

Food production on the fertile farms
of lower New Castle and Kent counties
were threatened with serious curtail-
ment for several days as result of the
railroad strike. Shipment of seeds and
fertilizers. as well as mechanical sup
plies were tied up just as the farmers
were in the midst of their crop plant
ing. Later on the farmers pressed,
several trucks in service to various
points for supplies, and this plan en-
abled them to resume planting, but not
on an extensive scale.

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION

The Republican. State Convention
held in Dover on Tuesday was largely
attended by prominent Republican,
from all sections of the state.
Advocates of equal suffrage had
great demonstration on lover Green.
and t'antis" devoted their time by dis
tributing red roses. Highly pleasing to
the former was a resolution adopted by
the convention indorsing the enfran-
chisement of women and urging the
Republican members of the Legislature
to vote for the ratification of the con-
stitutional amendment.
Six national delegates were elected
by the Republican State Conventions:
T. Coleman DUPONT from Wilmington,
Senator Ball from rural New Castle
county; Alden R. Benson and James A.
Hirons, from Kent; and Simeon S.
Pennewill, formerly governor and Rob-
ert B. Elliott, from Sussex; also six al
ternates, Judge Daniel o. Hastings,
from Wilmington; Horace L. Dilworth,
from rural New Castle county; former
Congressman Walter o. Hoffecker and
William Powell, from Kent; and Philip
Short and Frederick Walls, from Sus-
sex. .
Senator Ball was elected unanimously
Of the rural New Castle county caucus.
Voting in the Sussex county caucus re-
suited as follows: Pennewill "a; Elliott
80; Townsend 18. Elliott was clark
horse"
Dislike of some appointments made
by Governor Townsend in the last four
years and Sussex's violent opposition
to the school code, which was one of
his pet measures, caused the bitter
fight against the governor. General
T. Coleman DUPONT was doubly honored
by icing elected delegate and insur-
ing his reelection as National Com
for four more years.
