She taught here about seven years

she did more real active service
among those people than was ever
done by any single individual in that
place. The school house built there
in 1874 known as summer school

firing efforts and the pride Of Mid
dletown for years. She united the
people for community work. taught

value and uses. She has taught

Because she had merited it and rem

Of her but in the most exalted praise.
There are more high school and

ment book as an official rule advo-
Gated by the United states Bureau

In addition to frequent bathing,
the bureau declared at the teeth
should be brushed at least once a

hours with windows open. that chill
dren should drink plenty of milk,
but no coffee or tea, and that they
should play out-of-doors every day.

and feet and bodies are completely
twisted up that the driver must have
at least eight pairs of eyes to keep
on the road at all.
Following close on this comes the
danger from the child under age
who drives car. This youngster
is usually not licensed and is the off,
spring OF doting. parents who have
spoiled their "heir and assign" and
believe in allowing the child any
privilege il may ask. Children un-
der age are not strong enough physi-
cally to control a car in a crisis and
neither are they developed men
tally to such point that they are
able to remain calm and use judg-
ment in tight place.
In addition comes the driver who
runs with one light burning, making
Il impossible to Judge on which side
the car may be; the fool who drives
with binding spot or fiashlight and
throws it in the face of the ap-
proaching driver and the several 9TH
ers who believe that they alone have
the right to the road.
Delaware has laws regulating sew
eral of these very dangerous prac-
tees and these laws should be en-
forced to the letter. There is no
way to prevent some OF the practices
such as love making in a car, but II
might be a good plan to haul up
some Of the persons who endanger
the careful motorist and other
travellers and impose fine on
charges OF Indecent exposure or dis
orderly conduct. Unless action be
taken to clear up the dangerou prac-
tices that are allowed there will be

Evening journal., 1921-09-20

The entire section has been arous-
ed because of several serious acci-
dents that have recently occurred
on the improved state highways and
while there are always two sides to
each affair Of this nature, the fact
remains that aside from the acct
dents in particular. there is a very
great amount OF reckless driving.
speeding and the running Of auto
mobiles by children under age and
persons who are not capable Of
handling cars.
The condition has become more
pronounced with the coming OF the
concrete thoroughfares through low
er Delaware. These highways are
mostly through open stretches of
country and naturally appeal to Che
driver who feels that It is perfectly
safe TO speed through the open
places. This is probably the first
serious feature, for while the law
limits the speed TO thirty miles an
hour there are many who greatly ex-
ceed this. However the mere fact
that a car is driven at high rate OF
speed does not mean that it is dan
gerous for with an experienced
driver and one who uses judgment,
the great danger does not lie in this
occurance alone.
The greatest risk and most pro-
nounced source of danger comes
from the car that is driven by some
irresponsible young man or woman
and especially from the crowded cars
that carry from four to eight young
people who are evidently under the
impression that car is the place
to do their love making. II is not
unusual to meet such oars filed with
young men and young women who
are so badly tangled up that hands
