HELP "MERRY suNsHlNE."
Funds Needed to Provide for Three
Year Old Girl.

If you had never known mothers
tender care, mother to tuck you in
at night and to do all the tender things
that only mother can; if you had
never known fathers strong devotion
Ia father who would work and suffer
If need be, that his little child might
be sheltered: if you had never been
surrounded by the great love tha. is
due every child, and instead had been
knocked about, here, and everywhere;
if you had never known the activity
of growing child, and instead had
lived all your waking hours and most
of your sleeping ones tied into a high
chair where your feet just dangled
in the air, and your body became twist
ed to conform 10 the chair; if you had
had no nurse to dress you carefully,
and instead had your tender flesh
caught through with large safety
pin; could you still smile and smile :?
Could you fold your hands and say
God Bless Mary?" If you could you
would be able to demonstrate the her
ole patience and the sublime faith of
this little three-year-old child, who has
justly been given the name Of Merry
Sunshine by all connected with the
hospital where she now is.
: Five months ago this case was re-
ported to the State Board of Charities,
and the little child was placed in the
hospital for care, and if possible, to
make her whole. X-rays were taken.
She was examined by an eminent sur
geon and the verdict was that the
child's body could never be made
straight. AT first it was thought that
she could never walk When in her
cot she was bound to a curve board in
order that her heels and head would
be lower than her body, this being done
in an effort to straighten her back.
Even in this position, she looks up
cheerfully, with Good night, nurse"
Today the child is walking and hos
pital care is not necessary.
While in the hospital the expense
was paid from the State Board of
Charities Governors Fund" fund
started three years ago. made up by
contributions from many kindly and
interested people. She is still a Grip
pie and will never be a normal child
physically. She must have good care,
care that will see that she is pro-
porly nourished and has proper exer-
else. There is no financial provision
made by the state for children like
Mary, and the State Board of Chart
ties has grave problem as to the dis
position of this child.
Feeling that many would like to as
sist in giving this little girl chance,
the Board has decided to accept con-
tributions for fund for her care;
and hopes that people will contribute
if only little, to the Merry Sun
shine Fund"

Local Branch Of Teach
ers' Association Hears
Distinguished Speakers

Four subjects which in the
opinion of the speaker are worthy
of the serious thought of teachers
today were briefly discussed by
Henry R. Isaacs before the Alpha
Branch of the Teachers Associa-
tion here last Thursday night.
The establishment of some
means to prevent war, the high
cost of living, the relations be-
tween capital and labor and the
democracy of faith or the gradual
obEteration of lines of sect, were
each outlined with lucid explana-
tory remarks. DR.. James H. Gregg
of Hampton Institute who was in
Newark that day in the course of
his observation and study of edu-
cational progress in Delaware,
spoke also. He told something of
the ideals and ambitions of the
promoters of Hampton Institute
and of the influence exerted in
these troublous times by it's gradu-
ates who in many cases of race
difficulties act as peacemakers.
This role they are able to fill be-
cause of their experience in CO.
operating with white teachers at
the Institute and learning to see
the point of view of both the Cau-
casion and the African.
DR.. S. c. Mitchell spoke Of Del
aware's educational future con-
corning which in spite of present
unrest, he is exceedingly optimistic
DR.. R. w. Helm, State Director
of Vocational Education by re-
quest told something of the work
of his department and recited
some of the achievements in the
state, during the past year. Ac-
cording to government reports,
Delaware is better organized in
this respect than any of the other
states.
Miss Agnes Snyder, president of
the Association presided. The
speakers were introduced by Sup
erintendent Morris, and Miss Flea
nor Duffy gave a vocal selection.
