GIVES HER VIEWS
ON EDUCATION

One Of the most popular candi-
dates Of the Citizens School Com
mittee for member Of the new Board
OF Education OF this city is Mrs.
Florence NJ. Beacon. wife Of Prof.
William H Beacon. head Of the Bea-
com Business Colleges.
Outlining day her attitude
toward the public school system,
Mrs. Beacon said:
THE great wealth Of any country
is its youth. The greatest resources
we have in this land of almost bound
less opportunity are the boys and
girls in our public schools. Not only
is the future of America in their
hands, but. in large measure. the fu-
ture Of the world. The responsible
ity for the training of these young
people and the proper shaping OF
their minds is the greatest trust that
can come to any one.
IF 1 am elected to the Board Of
Education Of the City OF Wilmington
I shall approach the task with a full
realization of its Importance. 1 will
give to it all the ability have. all
the time and study possible. and all
the effort that should be expended
by any good citizen who has
proper appreciation of the material,
economic, moral and spiritual value
Of the great American public school
system.
II I were to talk all night could
not say anything more, or express
myself better, than TO assert that I
am in full accord with the platform
OF the Citizens Committee for the
petterment of our educational facil-
Ties In every way possible.

eral days ago Wilmingtonians who

local Associated Charities are inter-
ested in were engaged and have
been daily at the old City Hall on

ent is baby shirts to be sent over,
overseas. Any persons having
either new or cast off garments oi
underwear are asked to send them a,
once to the old City Hall. Gar
ments are now coming into head
quarters but buttonholes need to b,
worked in several OF the petticoat,
and dresses, and It would be greatly
appreciated IL some Wilmington
women would assist with this work
