Agricultural Education Paws

Effects of Agricultural Educa-
ton is noticed in the results of
student projects.
Each student in the high school
agricultural department is re-
quired to carry a project in which
he applies the things which he has
learned. If the things which he
has learned are Of value, his yield
is increased and if the market is
normal his profits are increased.
One boy in the Dover depart
ment raised 991a bushels of corn
on the acre, whereas the average is
less than so bushels per acre. One
boy in the Harrington school
raised 472 baskets Of tomatoes per
| acre. A boy in the Bridgeville
department raised 444 baskets of
! tomatoes per acre.
One Of the boys in the Caesar
Rodney Department had a tota1
net profit Of $5S1.67 with six heaC
of cattle. One of the herd was
found TO be losing money and was
sold for beef, so that this prof
was really made on five head.
| Education of this sort pays.

College Battalion to
Parade at Inaugural

An official report has been re-
ceived by DR.. Hullihen to the
effect that Delaware College
Battalion will be expected to
parade at Dover on the occasion OF
the Inauguration of Governor-elect
Denny ON Tuesday, January IL.
Although detailed plans have not
been announced as yet, it is the
general opinion that a special car
will be chartered from the railroad
officials for the trip. All classes
will be dispensed with for the day
and every student will be expected
to report in proper uniform at the
designated time. Unfortunately
the College band has not been or
ganized and, as a result, the cltl
zens of Dover will miss a big treat
The Captains of the respective
companies are busy whipping theI
men into some sort of shape, ant
intensive training is the by-wor(
during drill periods. Everyon
who can carry a gun is needed s.
that the Battalion can make
good showing "down-State.

STAND ON SCHOOL
LAW CHANGES
Legislative Committee of State
Teachers Association
Makes Position Clear

The Legislative Committee of the
Delaware State Teachers Associa-
tion, at a meeting held in Dover last
Saturday, adopted the following prin-
ciples:
''In view of the possible enactment
by the present Legislature of meas
ures affecting the public schools of
the State we, the undersigned, a duly
authorized committee of the Delaware
State Teachers Association, submit
the following as a statement of the
basic principles which we, and the
teachers whom we represent, believe
should be embodied in State school
law:
1. That to have competent, we'll
trained teacher is the right Of every
child in the State.
2. That it is the business of the
State to provide adequate facilities
for the training of her teachers.
3. That it is the business of the
State and local community, and their
solemn duty in a democracy such as
ours, to provide such financial sup
port for the schools as shall guaran-
tee to every child in the State equal
educational opportunity regardless of
his place of residence.
A. That the first consideration of
every program of education should be
the conservation of health. We,
therefore,, urge that in the basic
school law adequate provision shall be
made for medical inspection, school
nursing and physical training.
5. That ability t. work with the
hands as we'll as to think with the
head is so desirable that We urge that
provision be made for the continuance
and extension of the efforts in pre-
vocational and vocational work that
have been instituted in the State.
6. That the consolidation of rura
schools, where practicable, is the bes
solution of most of the problems o:
rural education.
7. That adequate supervision o.
schools, both rural and city, is indis
pensable to their efficiency.
8. That it is the business of tn
State to provide adequate educationa
opportunities and to see that all tn
children availatnemselves of these op
portunities.
9. That it is the duty of every com
munity to see that it's teachers ar
provided with comfortable homes.
10. That ample provision should b
made for the care of teachers VIII
have spent their lives in the servic
by the provision on the part of tn
State of a retirement fund based o.
sound actuarial principles.
Realizing that upon the teachers o
the State rests the responsibility fo
getting the final results in terms o
better educated citizens, we believ
that we are acting within our right i
giving this expression of our convic
tions. We are committed to a pre-
gram of service. Our supreme pun
pose is to promote, as best we car
the welfare of the childhood of Della
ware. We, therefore, pledge oul
selves to support ir every way pos
sihle those measures that are design
ed to realize any or all of the fore
going aims, and to oppose with equs
vigor such measures as we Geem In
consistent with these principles.

One of the natural things about
a Harry Carey picture is the fact
that the final fade-out does not
show the star and his leading
woman in a romantic clinch. Life
is not always that way and Harry
Carey is too human to portray on
the screen all the time what only.
happens in real life occasionally.

ferent may now be seen i'll "Blue

Nobody Stops in "Stop Thief"
The funny part about "Stop
Thief!' Tome MOOre's latest pic
ture, is that he, or anybody else,
does not stop from the beginning
to the end Of the film. There ism t
even a hesitation, or the fraction
of one in this rollicking comedy,
which comes to the Opera House
on Saturday. Everyone is trying
to stop the thief but no one knows
who he is, and if they did know it
they would also know that even the
thief is trying to stop himself.
With two kleptomaniacs uncon-
sciously aiding and abetting, the
| plot certainly is one that con-
stantly thickens. The best part is
that the audience is in on all the
fun, and has the satisfaction of
keeping laugh up its sleeve in
every scene.

A Pauperizing Disease
BY
THEODORE J. WERLE

tuberculosis Is pauperizing dis
ease. 1t is not a disease OF paupers.
Rich and poor alike are it's victims.
Not long ago one of the workers Of
the Michigan Tuberculosis association
met man on a train who was taking
his wife-an advanced case of tuber-
culosis-tO a sanatorium. The hus-
band, forced to sell the homestead,
realized $4,000 net after the sale. In
two years that sum had been reduced
to less than $1,000, and the children
OF the family soon may be sanatOrium
cases.
This man will find in a few weeks
that from once being happy, healthy
farm owner, with a wife and three
lusty youngsters enjoying Michigan's
great Out-of-doors, he has been reduce
ed by tuberculosis to a penniless
widower. He has already had to ask
for county aid, and the life and health
OF his children hangs in the balance.
Truly tuberculosis is scourge. Christ
mas seals are your defense.
Here is another illustration:
"The county commiss .oners have re-
fused to give me help because my
wife Is an advanced case. They help
only incipients." These words on
postcard addressed to the Michigan
Tuberculosis Association tell another
chapter in the suffering of man, his
wife and three children from tubercu-
losis.
The wife and mother will die. There
is no hope for her recovery. The in
justice to the children of such deci-
sion by the county commissioners need
nH H<s
supported out of what remains of a
wage of $25 week after the necessi-
ties of the consumptive and mainte-
nance at $15 a week in a sanatorium
have been paid.
Consider the short-sighted policy OF
the men who refused aid to this fam
lily. There are three children in the
family. Without question their long
contact with an advanced case Of
tuberculosis has infected them. The
Oldest, boy, has already had to spend
weary weeks in a plaster cast because
his spine is affected. He may be a
hunchback-a form of tuberculosis
The hardship and suffering and worry
which these little ones are forced 10
endure while they are waiting for their
mother to die is almost certain to adj
vance the disease in them. And the
county officers will soon find them,
selves with three so-called incfpfent
cases Chose children probably now
| are incipients) to provide for. So
they and the community will have to
pay, and what is more ptiable, so too
must the three innocents pay-be-
cause all people do not yet know the
relentless march of uncared for tuber-
culosis.
The local tuberculosis society, fin
anced by Christmas seals, has been
notified Of the case. If Christmas
seals were bought generously in this
mans county last year and will be
bought generously again this year.
that local society may be in position
to save these three little lvse.

especially, are making strenuous ef-
forts to stamp out tuberculosis. Ger
tainly very great and encouraging
progress has been made.
Every intelligent person now knows
that tuberculosis is not an inherited
but is a dangerous, communicable
disease. Recognition of this fact
greatly simplifies our efforts. We
now also know that taken in its ear
lier stages, especially with the young,
the hopes of cure are very great.
This is well proven by the fact that
out of 343 cases cared for in the chill
dren's building of the Detroit Tuber-
culosis Sanatorium, only 26 were lost,
practically all if not all the others
being restored to health.
We now also know, or at least
thoroughly believe, that for the al
most complete eradication of tuber-
culosis just two things are necessary.
First, education to the point that all
will understand the necessary steps
to guard against tuberculosis and will
take those steps, both young and old;
and second, isolation in sanatoria or
other suitable places, Of all open, ad'
vanced cases. When these facts are
fully realized and these measures TAX
en-, the greatest enemy of the human
race will be vanquished. We are well
on the way to this wonderful result

have been spent with the nurses who
love him dearly.
Billie specializes in what he calls
big hugs" and he is naturally the pet
of the place. He is now so rosy that
old-time visitors scarcely recognize
him and his one recovery alone more
than justifies the time and money
spent upon perfecting the children's
department of the sanatorium.
There's Claude, as an illustration
of the miracle a little care can &C
complish. Claude is three years old
but his mother has other children who
are sick and she is the bread winner
of the family besides. 1t was impos-
sible for her to give him the care he
needs and it seemed almost too late
to do anything for him last May when
he came to the childrens building.
Now he is a most engaging child with
big wonderful eyes and a smile that
could win world, and yet he will, for
some time to come, need the aid Of
the Christmas Seals. His mother can't
fight his battle and her battle too.
But those of us who are well and
strong, we want to help them both,
don't we?
All the babies l have been telling
you about are Christmas Seal babies
and so they are our babies, too. All
of them would have died long ago had
it not been within our power to supply
the pennies. All of them face life
gladly and will do all that 1t demands
of them If you will keep up the work
which you have begun. All Of them
from little mother Anne to smiling
Claude, will need a great deal Of care
for a long time to come, but the big
thing about it is that they are at las
upon the great high road of recovery.
l know that you rejoice with me
that these wasted lives have not been
lived in vain. And know it is unne"
essary to urge you to keep ~
the support you have so far ~
graciously and so adequately. The
children are doing their share nobly.
They are unfolding into the blossoms
God wanted them to be, and they are
radiating love and friendliness and
gratitude that strangely warns these
dulled hearts of ours as the Christ
mas season approaches.
1t is still a world for little children.
And these children need us desper-
ately.
