ORATORICAL CONTEST

The musical and oratorical contest
of Sussex county cOlored school, was
held at Laurel, Friday night, March
81, in the new school building of
which Prof. l. w. Howard, is princi-
pal.
It was a grand occasion. Inspiration
ran high from start to finish, bring
ing forth long and worthy applause.
The teachers in the various schools
who trained the children deserve
much credit for the showing which
their pupils made. 1t only goes to
show that there are diamonds in the
rough and they only need some one to
come along and polish them by knock
ing off the knots and giving them a
chance to shine.
Every school which took a part did
well and it is hoped that this is just
the beginning of good things, not only
for Sussex cOunty-but for the State
of Delaware.
Miss L. j. Rives, the Ind. Supervis-
or, should be congratulated for being
able to put over such a splendid pro-
gram with her teachers-but we ex-
pect even greater things of her-she
is such a hustler.
The following are the (successfuD
winners in the race, who will take
a part in the State Contest, May 18th:
The best solo, Edith Hyland, Laur-
ell school; the best duet, Frankford
school; the best quartet, Laurel
school; the best numerous selection,
Annie Ellism, Seaford school; the best
patriotic selection, Hattie Dunning,
Lewes school; the best dramatic .selec-
tion, Dorothy Cannon, Bridgeville
school.
Time and space prevent us from
mentioning each one who took part.

VANISHING TEACHERS.

At rather alarming rate those scientific
men who are interested IN forwarding the pro-
gress Of Investigation and research are leaving
their chairs in the colleges and universities to
continue their work with industrial firms. Lack
Of funds with which to buy equipment and
necessary tfmc-consuming routine are the
charges brought against The colleges. The in
-dustries offer larger salaries, unlimited re-
sources, encourge the development OF research
activity-and are amply rewarded by the re-
suits.
AS regards the progress of scientific inves-
tigation. the effect Of the removal Of these men
from the schools Is good. The effect on the
schools is disastrous. The most Inspiring teach
er must be the one who takes enough interest
in his line OF work to seek to forward it. II
this type Of teacher is to be lured away from
the schools by the easier conditions offered by
business corpor atiops. the schools must suffer,
and Indirectly the progress of science Itself
Yet the fault does not lie with the men who
have left their teaching positions The COL
leges are alive to their loss, but for lack OF
funds are unable to deal with the problem The
people who furnish the funds and profit by the
scientific research are the ones to come to the
front in this emergency, to demand that ade-
quate provision In the schools be made for
these men. and to bulwark their demand by a
solid financial backing.

OF Looney's filthy underworld newspaper be-

Looney polled his full political strength Tues
