DR.. 81. CUNNINGHAM
or SWARTHMORE, DEAD
She Devoted Her Life to the
Founding and Development
Of the College.

DR. Susan J. Cunningham. 1e years old !,
o member Of the first faculty of SwaTth-
more College and an active worker since
the founding of the college, was found dead
IN her apartment in the Shirei Building,
Swarthmore, Pa, yesterday II is believed
death was caused bv heart disease.
On Sunday while Miss Cunningham
was visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Scott
in Moylan, she spoke of her good health
and at 10 o'clock that night she was
seen reading in her apartment But
when her light was seen still burning
Yesterday her neighbors feared that all
was not well and so entered her room.
The teacher, still in street attire, lay on
, couch. She is survived by one sister,
Mrs J. ". Branson, of Winchester, Va.
Miss Cunningham was born in Win
chester. Her father was Edwin Lloyd
Cunningham and her mother, before her
marriage Elizabeth Fl Hollingsworth.
After studying at Vasssr College, Miss
Cunningham went 20 Swar1hmore and
took an active part in the founding of
the college, becoming an instructor in
mathematics In 1872 she was made
assistant professor IN that department
and two wears later she was given the
full professorship That position she
held until she resigned IN 1905. The
title Of emeritus professor Of mathe-
,natics and astronomy was then given her.
DR.. Cunningham studied mathemat-
ics and astronomy at Harvard in 1874
and 1876; at Princeton College in 1881
al Williams IN 1883 and 1884, and
under private coach at Newham Col
lege, Cambridge, England. in the sum-
mers OF 1877, 1878, 1879 and 1882
She also attended other institutions Of
learning. In 1855 degree Of doctor Of
science was conferred upon her by
Svarthmore College.
Virtually the whole of Miss Cunning
hmm life was bound up with the found.
ing and g1owth of Swarthmore College
In the fire which DESTROYED Parrish Hal
IN 1881, she forgot herself and her be-
Aongings and thought only of aiding the
students TO get to safety. In that fire
she lost valuable library.
The funeral viii be at $50 p. m

obviously. If Wilmington reduces the
aixe OF her board TO seven members and
elects the members at large from

think ia city-wide terms. these condi-
tions will IN large degree be automat-
ically rectifed, and u great stride in

Will have been taken.
The experience OF Detroit. Mich, in

Minimum Standards Only Should Be
Required.

Every reason points out the desirable
ity of so framing school laws that the
cities of a State may be component
parts of the state system subject TO
State supervision and control in Ger
tain requirements which the State has
a right TO demand of all its schools. TO
the end that all It's children shall be
guaranteed the rudiments of an educa-
ton obtained under healthful condi-
tions. and yeti without repressing the
cityt in meeting these standards nor
preventing il from going as far be-
yond these minimum requirements as
il may desire.
For example. the State can properly
prescribe that all schools in the State
should hold school a minimum number
OF days each year: but the precise
dates OF opening or closing the school
term, when vacations shall be held.
and whether or not the school year
shall exceed the prescribed minimum
should properly be left to the city.
Again. it Is quite in point that the
State should prescribe minimum
courses of study for the schools OF the
State, prescribing a minimum list of
subjects which shall be taught in the
elementary schools and the high
schools: also to prescribe that the

about that at the regular monthly meet
ings Of the board each member is OK
pected formally TO submit to the board
his report on the condition and needs
of the schools which have been as
signed to him. II seemed curious to
the commission to see board members
rise and formally ask the board TO sup
ply their schools with n door mat or
with rs feet of rubber hose, with
panes of window glass. or with this.
that. or the other thing, according TO
the various needs. Indeed. il was said
that one member has gravely asked
the board on every meeting night for
two years for a couch for the teachers
rest room OF one of his schools and has
not yet gotten il.
Clearly all such details should come
TO the attention OF the board by way
of member of the executive staff Of
employees who should organize. coop
dinate. and standardize all such needs
Thus the board would be relieved of the
necessity Of attending TO such petty de-
tails: the needs of schools themselves
would be more promptly and efficiently
met: and doubtless considerable econ
omieS would be effected

asked for clothing, while Others
asked for . meal and lodging.
Twenty-one came for consultation
only.
In making her report to the
board, Mrs. Morgan said:
"A large part OF the time Is now
spent in the giving of relief to our
families but some constructive
work is being wedged in.s We are
working with them for better liv-
ing conditions, and providing the
children with sufficient clothing to
enable the mothers to keep them
clean. Temporary employment was
given 20 10 people and four were
given work that should have been
permanent.
The board discussed arrange
ments for the distribution OF
Christmas baskets, and urged that
the same cooperation as given last
year by various societies be given
the association this year. A report
on the state meeting of the state
public welfare workers in Peoria

tended, was given by the secretary.

time. They win escape the eleventh
hour rush in the last days before
Christmas that Is bound To occur,
although this experience lessons
each wear. as the public becomes
educated to the advantage of early
mailing. AS the steady stream
produces no food so the early and
sradual mailing of holiday parcels
avoids congestion. In former years
the terminals in the large cities
were clogged for many days after
Christmas, and as the great bulk
of mail from this office eastbound
must go through the terminal at
Chicago, westbound at Omaha, and
that for southwest destination at
Kansas City, patrons will see the
wisdom on their own account of
getting in line early.
Il am not making any pleas so
far as this office is concerned. We
are set to handle the business as
it comes, regardless OF how large
the quantities, and we will get rid
Of it all right, no matter when it
comes. We are here for that pu--
pose, and our employees may we'll
boast that the office has yet to go
stuck on holiday mail. But there
is one thing I want to impress upon

EARLY MAILING
PLEA ANSWERED
Rock Island Posteffice Finds Pub.
Lie Responsive to Christmas
Suggestion.

The timely word of advice in the
Christmas message OF Postmaster
General Will II. Hays, with refer
ence to the immediate mailing OF
holiday parcels, is already showing
results, as far as the Rock Island
postoffice is concerned at Seasl,
according to Postmaster Harry p.
Simpson.
The movement OF mail intended
for Christmas delivery is apparent
and in good quantities, too. This
is much earlier than usual" said
the postmaster, land is indicative
that the patrons of the service are
responding to the appeal of the
postmaster general, thus evincing
a spirit of cooperation that is ap-
preciated by every employee in the
service. We are receiving large
numbers of parcels for far dis
tant points to both coasts, and
plenty for intermediate cities as
we'll. nearly all bearing the in
scription do not open until Christ
