NEEDED TO STABILIZE
FACULTY SALARIES

At a meeting Of the Executive Com
mitiee OF the Board Of Trustees OF
Delaware College 20 be held on next
saturday. plans viii be discussed rela-
tive TO q proposed campaign for a per
maDent endowment fund Of s3OO0,OOC
for the college The trustees have also
made application for a share IN the
,i00OOOO0O glft Of John D. Rockefeller
10 increase professors salaries
10 IS pointed out that the SiOOO00 re-
Gently asked for is only TO help out for
two years. A 100000 permanent en-
dowment would meet the needs OF the
college for years to come. It-wOuld al
80 give the co 'lege The necessary funds
10 increase salaries and thereby attract
men Of high collegiate standing TO the
faculty
The great need Of such an endowment
Is TO stabilize and equalize the salaries
OF members Of the faculty. An official
u the college has given the FOL owing
schedule OF salaries that lhe endOw-
ment would allow the trustees to cs-
ablish:
Deans. at least 5000 yearly, with pro-
vision for an allowance uf SiO0 per
year for house rent, or a suitable house
provided free I'm the ease Of the dean
Of the agricultural department.. such @
house already has been provided.
Head professors. with three or more
men in his department. S370O a year.
Regular professors $500 year.
AssOciBte professors, $1,000 year.
Assistant professors. S2jOO year.
instructors. Si,800 a year, with an
assured increase Of SiO0 year for four
years, or $1,000 year at the end Of the

sistants. who would be recent gradu-
ates ambitious for q collegiate prOfcs-
sorship at 81 200, with promise Of 500
q year FOR two years. or Si,i0O year,
with prospects Of better positions.
70 is figured that S2O00,OO0 Of the to-
tai Of $4,000 would be required to
provide for this, and the remaining
100000 could be utilized as a develop
ment fund. The chief need is for an
engineering building. corresponding 10

Is reason 90 believe the college can
count upon 200 q year. such an cngln-
ssring building would cost at least
100000 The sum OF si0OOOO would be
needed for equipment and S200OOO for

make 10000. Of which $4,000 would

NEGRO REPUBLIC PROPOSED.

NEGRO REPUBLIC PROPOSED. A
Jamaican negro, Marvey, is trying
to get his race on this side of the
water to return to Africa. overthrow
ing the Governments of the whites
and establish a black empire. He
indeed has a vivid imagination, and
seems to over ook the important matter
of offering any real ~inducement. The
peoples of the world are SO mixed up that
to unscra nb!e them would be a job fit
for Hercules and the League of Nations
Combined. C. H. Andersen, a Govern
ment official in New York who is a negro,
hits the nail on the head when he con-
ments AS to our migration to Africa,
let me say that when all the English in
this country voluntarily return to the
banks of the Thames and all the Irish 60
back to the shores of the Shannon ; when
the Germans return to the Rhine and
the French to the Rhone; when the Itali-
ans seek the Tiber, the Russians the
Neva and the Volga,t and all the Jews
once more take their stand on Jordan's
stormy banks, then, and not till then,
will we consider a return to the fever
stricken banks of the dreamy Niger.

Mo. Valley Defeats All Stars

la one of the best games of the
season, the locals defeated the Har-
rison county All Stars, Sunday, IS
to 0. The largest crowd yet, enjoyed
the game from start to finish.
The first half, without question,
belonged to the All Stars and, had
they been in condition to keep up the
nace. the score might have been diff
fsrent. In the second half the locals
made some changes that put the
scoring machine in adjustment, after
which there was never any doubt of
the outcome.
For the All Stars, Brown and Dow
ney were mostly in the limelight. The
Stars line was composed almost en-
tirely Of Mo. Valley men and from
them the Town team should be able
to develop some good linemen.
The management Of the local team
feel greatly indebted to the All Star
far filling this open date. Starting
late in the season, it has been very
hard to book games for the early
dates.
