|osed new school building, the New

Here the 81 graduates, the under
graduates of both colleges and the
two thousand or more friends and
relatives listened with intense interest
and pleasure to every word of the
CHEEKY, hopeful message of DR.. Will
liam Lyons Phelps, Lampson professor
of English Literature at Yale Uni
versity.
After facetiously commencing the
committee for their admirable choice
of weather and congratulating the
University orchestra for it's excellent
music, DR.. Phelps told his Gospel of
Education and it's relation to happi-
ness.
"That person is happiest," he de-
clared, "who can think the most inter-
esting thoughts" Asserting that the
principle Of this happiness which all
men desire, is dependent not upon in
'fuences but like virtue upon that
which is within, he proceeded to prove
with convincing logic and apt illustra-
ton that there is no better prescrip-
ton for happiness than the equipment
which trained intelligence gives.
With apt illustration and keen,
witty analysis he proceeded to prove
the fallacy of confounding the idea of
happiness with the physical comfort
that the possession of wealth and of
health brings.
In support of his claim that ability
to think interesting thoughts is the
secret Of happiness, he cited instance
after instance to show that we should
grow happier as we grow older, and
quoted the words of Joseph Choate
who declared that the happiest time Of

MANY ATTEND
HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
Strong Address Delivered by
Hon Josiah Marvel
of Wilmington

In the presence of hundreds of rela-
tives and friends, diplomas were
awarded last Friday evening to 20
young men and young women who
successfully completed the four-year
course at Newark High School.
The stage was attractively decor
ated with ferns, palms and rambler
roses, and the high school musical
organizations furnished the music.
In the procession with the gradu-
ates and seated on the platform with
them were members of the local Board
of Education, DR.. Walter H. Steel,
Robert S. Gallaher, and Harrison
Gray; Hon. Josiah Marvel, Of Will
mington, who delivered the Com
mencement address, Rev. John Mac
Murray pastor of Head of Christiana
Presbyterian Church who pronounced
the invocation; Rev. Frank Herson,
| who pronounced the benediction, and
Superintendent of Schools, j. Herbert
Owens.
An interesting essay, "The White
Clay Creek Church," which appears
elsewhere in this issue, was prepared
and read by Miss Sara Pennington
of "The Mermaid" This was followed
by a clever comparison of Bees and
Men written by Courtland Houghton
from observations of his own apiary
"Violet Lady" and "Hark, The
Merry Elves" were sung by the Girls
Clee Club, after which Hon. Josiah
Marvel of Wilmington delivered the
address to the graduates.
After humorous reference to the
confusion resulting from difference il
time between Newark and Whining
ton, he congratulated the communit!
upon the interest and enterprise
which makes such commencement
possible. This interest, he declared i
not something that just happens, i
grows with the years. The peak a
represented by such achievements a
, are thus evident is also the base as re
CARDS future educational development
, Judging by past interest and effor
! great success was predicted for tn
future. Reminding the young peopl
that the completion of their publ
school career does not mean the en-
of their responsibility with regard t
education and reminding them too o
their obligation to the communit
which has provided the means @
training so far, he urged active, ir
? telligent participation in civic affair
so that the next generation shall nc
fail to have opportunities equal to 0
, beyond those enjoyed now.
He dwelt upon the necessity for dc
velopment of character and the pu,
pose of education in bringing to tn
solutions of world problems,
trained intelligent citizenship an
hoped for the day when every chile
rich and poor, will have the opportu1
ity of high school education.
Following Mr.. Marvel's speecl
i diplomas were awarded by Superb
tendent Owens and the benedictio
was pronounced by Rev. Fran
Herson.
: The majority of the gradutes wi
continue their studies in higher inst
e tutions of learning. Most of these wi

Leader of Boys
and Girls Clubs
to Leave State
T. T. Martin Goes to Spring
field
Accepts Position in Similar Work in
Eastern City

Theodore T. Martin has resigned
the position of State Leader of Boys
and Girls Club work to accept the
directorship of the Junior Achieve
ment Foundation at Springfield,
Mass.
This announcement comes as
great shock not only to the young
people of the State whose confidant
and leader he has been for more than
three years, but to the friends of edu-
cation in the State who appreciate
fully the great work accomplished
here by Mr.. Martin.
Shortly after Delaware voted to CO.
operate with the national government
in the vocational training Of boys and
girls, and to take advantage of the OPP
portunity offered by the Smith-Lever
Act, the State with laudable determ-
ination to secure the best results
possible, sought diligently for leader
whose qualities of personality would
assure these results. They wisely
chose Mr.. Martin whose record as
county superintendent of Hendicks
| county, Indiana, where club work had
been established as part of the school
system, was one of remarkable sue
cess. SO much so, in fact, that Hend-
ricks county, owing no doubt to the
foundation then laid by Mr.. Martin,
is now the leading county in this
country in completeness of organiza-
ton and excellence of work accom-
plished.
The results of Mr.. Martins work in
Delaware both as to organization and
achievement is matter of pride to
the State More than 100 clubs have
been organized throughout the State.
Nearly every community has corn
club, a pig club, calf club, tomato
club, dairy club, a canning club,
baking club, clothing club or some
other organization for vocational ac-
/. tivity. The cooperation of the fathers
and mothers and friends has been
enlisted to such an extent that the
achievement programs given in the
various communities this spring have
drawn to these centers large audiences
of proud elders. The oranges, the
banks, the schools, and other powerful
agencies have cooperated enthusias-
tically and have contributed materi-
= ally to the success of the work.
The organization of club work in
this State is unique in that it is the
only commonwealth in the Union
which has a county leader in each
county. This makes possible the high
est efficiency in community organiza-
a tion and activity, which eliminates in
, the Junior Short Course offered each
! year at the University of Delaware.
This event furnishes an inspiration to
the boys and girls of the State who
seek eagerly the opportunity to share
in it's achievements and its pleasures.
!, Twelve students are now enrolled in
: the University largely through the in
n spiration of this notable work.
( Mr.. Martin will assume his new
