Ciuic Interest in Wilmington

Civic interest in Wilmington is certainly
aroused The wonders and possibilities of
Greater Wilmington of Banquet Oratory are
assuming practical and glorious forms. Dur
ing the last few months, we have seen the
Rodney Square become a reality and thing
of beauty. Now, at last, the Harbor De-
velopment is no longer the ideal of Dreamers
but an actual fact of the City's responsibility.
This was followed in few days by the
awarding of the contract for the new Library.
Surely Wilmington is recovering from the
shock of War. Out of the political maze of
the Charter fight and stencil of the 1nciner
ator discussion, we hear of Bancrofts start
ing up full force, of Harlan's getting back, of
Railroad men called to work. of Glazed Kid
Campaign. Certainly optimism is abroad
We are led to dream on of days of new
Community Hall, better trolley service, indie
pendent newspapers, and Farmers Market
House. A great day is coming for Whining
ton and dawn is already here.

Danger Signal Wanted

10 the Editor:
4 Another accident on Elkton Road
on Sunday, very near the same place
Of the serious one of August 7th-no
one seriously hurt but two cars
damaged. These accidents are due
chiefly to two causes: The road is
narrow, no dirt side road at all in
front Of the Bower lawn, giving no
chance to save yourself or car if any,
thing goes wrong. The road is ex-
tremely slippery in damp weather
and dangerous for fast driving. 1
think that the County should put up a
big sign (To go slow-Danger), or
give US traffic policeman. 1t is
nerve racking to see these cars rush
ing at each other and to hear the
Grassland cries of the injured We
have witnessed these accidents at
various times. We call for aid to
prevent them.

MEETS PRESIDENT
AT PLYMOUTH
Writes Interestingly of
Pageant

miss Mildred Simpson, of Will
mington, who is visiting a friend,
Miss Alice Jenckes, at Duxbury, Mas
sachusetts, writes the following ac-
count Of her meeting with President
Harding last week.-Ed.)
august l was full of surprises and
/ pleasures for your humble contribu-
tor, not the least of which was a spec
ial introduction to President Harding
by Speaker Gillett!
eve went over to the Pageant at
Plymouth and stayed from in the
morning until almost six o'clock, just
watching. The whole celebration was
the most impressive thing I have ever
seen. President Harding and Mrs.
Harding, Speaker Gillett and Mrs.
Gillett, General Edwards and Secre.
tary Weeks, arriving on the "May
Flower" were greeted out in the bay
by twenty-one guns saluting from a
British and a Dutch battleship, which
came over for the occasion, and by
the U. S. battleships of the Atlantic
Fleet. Then twenty-one guns saluted
from the shore as the tender came in.
The party from the "May Flower"
was greeted by Governor and Mrs.
Cox, Vice President and Mrs. Cool
idge, and Senator Lodge. Then the
parade started-12 miles of it pass
ed by.
"In the afternoon President Hard
ing spoke, and he spoke so sincerely
and his voice carried so we'll that he
i quite won the multitude. There were
calls for Coolidge, Coolidge" during
the program of speaking. Senator
Lodge, tho apparently not in popular
demand by the audience, spoke bril-
liantly.
"After the speaking, Alice Jenckes

Plummer, who have the next cottage
to the Jenckes here at Duxbury. Mr..
Plummer is the publisher of the
"Springfield (Mass.) Union" a strong
Republican paper. The Plummers
asked US to come to dinner with them
at the Pilgrim Inn and added that the
President was dining there. Needless
to say we tagged along. Mr.. Plummer
is great friend of Speaker Gillett's
so our first introduction was to him
then to Vice President Coolidge, to
Governor Cox, Senator Lodge and
Secretary Weeks.

very full day, when Speaker Gillett

and said, THE President would be de-

Dinner to the Press

The hospitality shown by Supernten-
dent Holloway to the newspaper men at Re-
hoboth on Saturday, portrays the man. He
was born that way. We were fortunate to be
in the ed" Class years ago and looked up. to
him as an honored "a" Man in Selbyville
Public Schools. So it was with a peculiar
interest and pride that we accepted the invi-
tation to attend
He knows Schools. He has given his life
to them. Probably no honor could come to
him that would surpass the recognition just
recently attained. Speaking to the guests,
he asked for suggestions and criticism. He
meant it, expects it and will receive it in the
spirit of service. Our years of acquaintance
and observation insure this.
The get-together of these two forces in
statecraft was unique idea. 1t has prob
ably never been done before. It is hoped that
the results may be all that is desired by the
host-and that his desire may merit cooper
alton and approval. He and his staff have
difficult task to perform, but interesting.
And with the task comes an opportunity
seldom presented. That they realize the
possibilities and sense fully the responsibility
is the opinion of every one present. Old
School Laws, Codes and prejudices are of
the past and are only useful as "reminiscences
and history of progress. This is new day
with a new law. Whatever the personal
opinion of any editor may be of the efficiency
VI llllS IeW law, Ile Is SOlllS W give VI IlS
best to assist. The new law and the new
Board have been accepted. The support given
them depends upon the confidence and ac-
tions they give and make effecting the public
welfare They may expect expressions of
personal opinions and local points of view
and should accept and seriously consider
them. If they so do, the Education prob
lem in this State is safe and constructive.
The dinner given by Superintendent Hollo-
way should help bring about this attitude of
mind and action.
Sometimes a man gives himself away.
Holloway did, just in closing when he rected
the Teachers Greed:
believe IN boys and girls, the men and
aOomen of q great tomorrow; that aUhatsoerer
the boy sOaOeth the man shall reap.
Il believe IN the curse of ignorance, the
efficacy of schools, the dignity of teaching,
and the Jog of serving others.
believe IN Visdom as revealed in human
lUes as aOeU as IN the pages of the printed
book, IN lessons taught not so much By pre-
cept as By example, IN ability to aUork 1vith
the hands as aUeU as to think aUith the head
IN everything that makes life large and
lovely.
believe IN beauty IN the schoolroom in
the home, IN daily life and ont of doors.
believe IN laughter, IN love, IN faith, IN
all ideals and distant hopes that lure as on.
believe that every hour of every day noe

Signal Danger

letter in the Peoples Column asking
for Danger Signals or Traffic Officers on Elk
ton Road is pertinent and reasonable re-
quest. At the point opposite the Bower
Farm, the road is very narrow and has been
the scene of many accidents The traffic here
is very heavy especially on Saturday and
Sunday Over 60 cars passed this point last
Sunday within 10 minutes according to an
observer.
Road officials should take immediate
note of this warning and make provisions for
Safety First" before more accidents occur.

.N>-S&sa1cwW From Virginia
- came ,uost of
the settlers of the western state,
and with them these pioneers
brought Virginia institutions
and ideals. 1t was not until
1850 that the first authentic
journey was made by a white
man into central parts of the
region afterwards called Ken
lucky.
Further explorations showed
that this territory held two i'm
portant attractions for settlers.
The first was the great fertility
of what was called the Blue
Grass region. The so-called
blue grass, from which this
STATE is nicknamed the "Blue
Grass State" is in no wise pc
culiar to Kentucky.
The second inducement for
settlers was the fact that there
were no Indians living in this
region. 1t was later found that
many rowing bands of savages
crossed the Ohio from the north
and sorely harassed the early
colonists until Clark's expedi-
-tlons into Ohio and Indiana
checked their invasions. In fact,
the name Kentucky is probably
derived from the Iroquois word
kentlsa-ke, meaning Hunting
]and." Another Interpretation
Is dark and bloody ground"
but this Is doubtless incorrect.
The main highways of travel
mt that time were Daniel
Boone's evidences Road" T,
through Cumberland Gap and
down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers
poured into this new territory
in such numbers that in 1892,
with the permission of Virginia,
Kentucky was admitted to the
Union as the fifteenth state with
an area of 40.59S square miles.
Kentucky has thirteen electoral
votes for president. The re-
markable physical condition Of
its population is shown i'm a re-
port of the volunteers in the
Civil war. This gave their av-
erage height as nearly an inch
taller than the New England
troops and with a correspond i;
