Address of Welcome at Arms Con-
ference
ference

gether to remove the cause of apprehensions
This is not to be done in intrigue. Greater
assurance is found in the exchange of simple
honesty and directness, among men resolved
to accomplish as becomes leaders among
nations, when civilization itself has come to
it's crucial test.
1t is not to be challenged that govern
ment fails when the excess of it's cost robs
the people of the way to happiness and the
opportunity to achieve. If the finer senti-
ments were not urging, the cold, hard facts
of excessive costs and the eloquence of econ
omics would urge us to reduce our arma-
ments If the concept of better order does
not appeal, then let us ponder the burden and
the blight of continued competition.
1t is not to be denied that the world has
swung along throughout the ages without
needing this call from the kindlier hearts of
men. But the same world never before was
so traglcaly brought to realization of the
utter futiity of passions sway when reason
and conscience and fellowship point a
nobler way.
| can speak officially only for our United
States. One hundred million frankly want
less of armament and none of war. Wholly
tree from guile, sure in our minds that we
harbor no unworthy designs, we accredit the
world with the same good intent. So l well
come you, not alone in good will and high
purpose, but with high faith.
We are met for a service to mankind In
all simplicity, in all honesty and all honor,
there may be written here the avowaIs of
world conscience refined by the consuming
fires of war, and made more sensitive by the
anxious aftermath. l hope for that under
standing which will emphasize the guaran-
tees of peace, and for commitments to less
burdens and better order which will tran
qulllze the world. In such an ACCOMPLISH
ment there will be added glory to your flags
and ours, and the rejoicing of mankind will
make the transcending music of all succeed

Lest We Forget

RED CROSS-the word is
sufficient. No argument, no ap-
peal. Just the words RED
CROSS should be all that is
necessary. Clustered around it
are mercies and memories serv-
ices and records that challenge
the word. Not creed, not sta
tlon. No, nor party nor country
it is a world term that appeals
to all. Few words there are that
match it. 1t is a home word, a
mother word, a human phrase
at it's best.
The Annual Roll Call is being
made. All that is best in US
calls that we answer, Here"
Citizenship and manhood call
and he or she who fails, fails
utterly.
Shall Newark in Peace equal
Newark in War?

State Teachers Convention

The Delaware State Teachers
Association is a growing force
full fact. Figures tell the story
better than adjectives can. Or
ganlzed three years ago against
terrible odds with a membership
OF 1872. Wilmington teachers at
that time answered the call with
three members. The second wear
had an enrolment of 427 with a
Convention that both inspired
and challenged attention of edu-
Gators and legislators and citi-
zens all over the State. This year
the Convention at Dover closed
with 843 enrolled, of which 267
were Wilmington teachers. By
this act they have recorded
themselves as a part of educa-
tlonal Delaware without which
both city and rural schools
would not approach their possi-
bilities.
The meeting this year was a
success. 1t was the logical con-
cluslon of the last two years
work and the cooperation
shown by the teachers irrespec-
tive of professional rank or To-
Gated position. That Superin-
tendent Ward has taken an in
terest is matter of congratula-
ton.

$4,000 and the United States govern
