AUTOM) BILE LIGHTS
ON MA RKET STREET
Kiwans S Club Thinks Ord nance
Requiring Them on Park ed
Cars Should be Amended.

Pointing out the fact that the bright
lights at night on Market street and on
Tenth and Eleventh between Market
and Orange, make it unneces sary to keep
the lights burning on autos parked on
those streets, the Kiwanis Club suggests
that the ordinance requiring II be amended
and letter embodying this recommenda-
ton has been sent to the Board of Direc-
tors of the Street and Sewer Department.
Following is the letter:
Street and Sewer Department, Will
mington, Delaware. Gentlemen-The
matter of the City Ordinance regulating
the lighting of automobiles was brought
up for discussion at the regular Wedhes-
dav meeting of the Kiwanis Club of
Wilmington.
The members feel that the necessity
of lights being required on automobiles on
Market street between Front and Eleventh
streets, and on Tenth and Eleventh
streets, between Market and Orange.
should be eliminated
The members also feel that with these
streets brightly illuminated as they are.
it is absolutely unnecessary to have auto
lights burning
The klwanis Club of Wilmington
respectfully requests that the ordinance
be amended as above mentioned.
Thanking you for past favors and as
surfing you of our hearty cooperation
we remain,
Very truly yours,
James Z. Stein, Secretary.

THIS YEARS SUMMER SCHOOL.

Editor Every Evening Those who
are planning the work. this wear, of the
Summer School Mt Delaware College
have the task of balancing the cirriculum
so that the public school teachers, and
those hoping to be such, shall get from
the school what they most need Many
of them need training in the art of teach
ing, that is strictly professional training.
Perhaps even more of them need educa-
tion in the branches they are to teach.
This is especially true of those who are
to teach English composition.
Hundreds of teachers in Delaware, as
thousands elsewhere. undertake to teach
English composition without ever having
acquired any skill in writing the English
language, Imagine a man trying to teach
the art of painting without ever hav-
ing painted picture that an intelligent
critic could contemplate without pain.
What such teachers need most Is not pro-
feSsional education IN the art of teaching
English composition. Nor Is 1T primarily
the theory of that art, though that also
they must have. What is essential If
they are to go back TO their schools in the
fall with some hope of teaching English
composition effectively, IS a thorough
course in writing under the critical
ol iDJtliiNClit ttdCtitIS NiAo
know how to write the English language
What share the Department of English
at Delaware College Is to take In the work
of the Summer School | do not know,
but | do know that that department
has been remarkably successful in help
ing III prepared freshmen to improve in
the art of English composition. a SIX
weeks course in English composition
under men equipped as are those of that
department, with daily short themes,
and weekly longer themes. and such a
presentation of theory as should wake the
teachers to their own needs IN the matter
would go far toward improving the in
struction throughout the schools Of
Delaware in this highly important sub
iect. 1t is worse than waste of time TO
set teachers TO helping children TO learn
an art in which the teachers are utterly
unskilled.
All such teachers, as too many others,
tend TO APPROACH English composition as
a critical science, whereas it is primarily
a creative art. The false approach is fatal

BROKERS OFFICES TO
OPEN AN HOUR EARLIER
New York Stock Exchange Decides 10
Keep Daylight Saving Hours.

On account of the decision Of the board
of governors Of the New York Stock Ex-
change, by vote taken Wednesday, To con-
form to the New York daylight saving
law, the offices of Wilmington brokerage
houses will open an hour earlier, beginning
with Monday Of next week This means
that, unless and until Wilmington adopts
the daylight saving law, as provided for
in recent action Of the City Council, the
brokers offices in this city will begin
business at 9 instead of 10 o'clock, and
will close at 2 instead of 3, the hours IN
effect now.
The opinion in New York seems to be
that the change of time will cause con-
fusion In cities where the daylight saving
change is not made, but the houses OF
Laird & Co, Hudson and Laclley, in
this city, do not see why any confusion
should arise 1t simply MEANS. they say
that until the clocks are moved back
here, if such happens, the Office forces
will have to get to work All hour earlier,
and the patrons will have to be governed
by the change. The tickers will start at
9 instead of 10.
City Council recently passed an or
dinance providing for daylight saving
here, but no account of the announcement
by the Pennsylvania Railroad that ii
would operate by standard time, it has
been generally understood that Council
would repeal the ordinance. Otherwise.
there viii be considerable confusion among
the travelling public as to the running of
trains
Officials Of railroads having termi-
nails IN New York will have a conference
Friday, at which areadiustment of train
schedules to ObVIate confusion under the
