SUMNER RSCHOOL ENDS
With The Largest Enrolment in The
History Of The U. Of P.
305 WERE In ATTENDANCE

This week marks the close of the SIX
weeks Summer School being held at the
University of Della ware. With an en-
rollment of 3O5 students, the present
session holds the record of being the
largest Summer School in the history
of the Sta,e. The influx of students at
the opening of the session was SO great
that the original plan, of holding the
lzssses and serving the meals in the
buildings of the Women's College had
to be abandoned and the more commodl-
Gus quarters of the Mems College util-
lied. The teaching staff, too, was
found to be inadequate to handle the
large numbers and Miss Elizabeth Jen-
kins, one of the Rural Supervisors OF
Kent county was added to the faculty.
In summarizing the more outstanding
features of the present session Protes-
sor w. A. Wilkinson, Director OF Sum-
mer School, mentioned, in addition to
the unusually large attendance, the
pIO1cSSlOldl SPl1lt 0A1A PAS
alent among the students. Despite the
extremely hot weather that has pre-
vailed during most of the session, most
of the students have worked with a
zeal that has been particularly crafty
ing. Both the large attendance and
the earnestness of purpose on the part
of students Director Wilkinson attri-
butes, in part, to the influence OF the
corps of rural Supervisors who, in their
work over the State, have inspired
teachers with desire ior petter prepa
ration, and IN part, Also, to the higher
salaries now being offered 10 well train
ed teachers. Practically one-third OF
those who attended the Summer School
last year are in attendance again this
year, voluntarily striving for the higher
grades of certificate that will entitle
them to the increased salaries.

St. Anne's Church extends hearty
welcome to all, and especially those

The Sunday evening services during
the month of August will be three
quarters of an hour duration. Let us
have as large an attendance us possible.
Some people act as if they thought
they had no need of God in summer, or
as if He had excused them from every
religious duty. But this cannot be so.
The Christian of steadfast loyalty will
not let his religious duties lapse at any
time of the year. Summer is time
when the service should appeal to the
most of US when all Gods work is
manifest and beautiful in flower and
leaf. The Rector during his vacation
preached to congregations which filled
the church.
"As man thinketh in his heart, so
is he." It's a practical doctrine, and
it is very beneficial practice to think
of "whatsoever things are lovely" in
the lives of others. 1t is as sensible as
it is to thrive on the finest wheat in
stead of starving the body by chewing
worthless husks. A mans soul be-
comes small if it is fed on mean
thoughts that cannot satisfy its natural
longings for wholesome meditations and
ennobling hopes. It cannot be other
wise. If flower doesn't get sunshine
it soon fades. So it is with the life of
an individual. Life must be radiated
by the cheerful sunshine of love for
God and neighbors in order to become
beautiful; and more noble still is the
life that is enriched by Chrlst-like love
for enemies as we'll. The results are as
logical as they are evident. St. Paul
gave sound advice when he said, "if
they be any virtue, if they be any
praise. think on these things" Good
thoughts are a wise investment, be-
cause, ''as man thinketh, so is he."
The Rector of St. Anne's was elected
Secretary of the Peninsula Summer
School, which met at Ocean City, Nd,
the last week of June, for the fourth
successive year.

TOMATO GAMERS MAKE OFFER

Blackbird Gamers who have decided
to operate their tomato packing plants,
and have sold their future pack, are
seeking to secure supplies. Some of
them are offering fifty cents basket
but growers believe the price will rise
to ninety-fve cents. The blossoms are
late which means that the crop will not
be ready to pick at the usual time.
They are refusing to sell by contract
and will 60 into the open market.
Growers who were successful in get
ting their tomato plants set are looking
forward to higher prices than ever be-
fore known in this section. In the
early spring, when it was thought that
few canning houses would pack toma-
toes this year farmers thought they had
better contract for $40 a ton and
grow smaller acreage. The long dry
period during June, however, caused
most of the young plants to die.
Farmers who found new plants hard to
get decided TO set out other crops, thus
the acreage was reduced. 1t is now
about one-lenth of the usual acreage
While the tomato plants survived
have made large growth in spite of
the dry season very few green to
matoes and blossoms are found. That
is why Gamers who sold packs in ad-
vance are anxious to secure supplies.
Some farmers have turned their at.
tention to growing the little yellow pre-
serving tomatoes which seem to have
stood the drought bet n than the
larger red tomatoes. 1t is expected
that the yellow tomatoes will be bought
for preserving purposes to take the
place of fruit that is scarce.

In MEMORIAM

Annie Price Roe, wife of Thomas C.
Roe entered into rest Tuesday morning,
July 26th, 1921, after an illness of
about two weeks. She was the Oldest
daughter of William Price, now de-
ceased, but formerly well-known resi-
dent or this town.
Her early girlhood was spent at the
family homestead, near Warwick, Md.
She completed her education at West
ern Maryland College, and was one of
the first to be graduated from that
institution. She never ceased to feel
an abiding interest in her Alma Mater.
1t was there that her studious deport-
ment and winning manners won for her
the friendship of teachers and students,
friendship that stood the test Of
time and endured throughout long and
busy life.
Mrs. Roe was a woman far above the
average, OF. refined tastes and cul-
tured mind. Whether as daughter,
sister, wife, mother, or friend, nobly
did she fill every position in life. Quiet
and retiring in manner, she was appre-
ciated most by those who lived closest
to her, by those who came within the
inner circle of her friendship.
In her home she reigned supreme,
and the many guests who partOok of
the hospitality which she so graciously
vet so unostentatiously bestowed, will
not soon forget the rare charm of her
presence there,-they will not soon fOrs
get the loving greeting, the warm hand
clasp at meeting and the tender God
speed at parting.
When SORROWS and bereavements
came into her life she never questioned
the Divine goodness, but met them with
the patience and fortitude Of her gen.
tie Christian nature. She felt that the
same loving hand that sent the sun
shine sent the shadows too, and that
the One who afflicted her, was ''toO
| wise err, too good to be unkind." She
bore her burdens with the resignation
of one who looks beyond the things of
| time to those which are eternal. Ef
At the last, there were no sad fare
| wells, but she passed away, quietly and
peacefully, rs she had lived, and with a
smile on her face she entered into Tire
Great Beyond.
