Parent Teacher Association Meetings;
Other School News of Lower Delaware

Rev. Sutton, the other speaker ON
the affirmative, gave a historical set
ting of the Turkish troubles. He show
ed how Turkey had been treated badly
| by European powers, by secret trea-
ties and even by treaties openly de-
rived at" He also said that France
mistrusted England because of the
Bagdad railroad being owned by Eng
land; and as result of such aggran-
dizement, Turkey had become the
goat" of European greed. Ever since
the days of Herodu's, the speaker said
Europe has tried to take away from
Turkey. Although he absolutely con-
demned Turkish atrocities, he could
not see that the atrocities had any
thing to do with the subject in ques-
ton. He further said that if Europe
had been so greedy for the last 1000
years, he doubted the serious inten-
ton of the powers at this time to be-
come too Christian.
Rev. Beauchamp, the other speaker
on the negative side, said, that he
would admit that Turkey had been re-
duced in territory and that he would
like to see the time when the Turkish
government would be annihilated. He
said that he did not want to hurt a
hair on a Turks head, but by all
means crushed, a government that
denied faith in Jesus Christ. He fur
Their said that the Turks were true to
principles, but those principles were
based on fighting and murder, hence
that was why he believed that Tur-
key was being treated as his oppo-
nents had described. He depicted hor-
rible SCIENCES perpetuated by the
Turks and said that the question
meant a fight between the crescent
and the cross"
In the refutation, the fight was re-
sumed with intense vigor. Both sides
seemed to clinch their arguments and
refute arguments of the opposition.
Immediately after the debate the
judges, Howard Cooke, a lawyer of
Miss Kathryn Butler, a
teacher of the Dagsboro school, for
merly from Virginia, and William
of Dagsboro, retired. After
much debating among themselves the
judges decreed that the affirmative
side was successful in their argu-
ments.

TWO men were finishing their

Christmas eve.

ing to rain"
A little boy offered to get them
one. He only had to go a few steps
before he found one. And he held
the door open wide for the two men
as he had seen carriage starters and
automobile starters do.
He had been looking for odd jobs
that evening. His Christmas money
was not very much, and he did want
to get just a few Christmas presents
to give away. He had already made
some. If he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted to get her a pink carnation.
He had seen such beauties, and they
were ten cents apiece.
One Of the men paid no attention to
him. The other fumbled at his

friend. "He really didn't do anything.
He will think he can beg for any
thing. That's a bad influence you're
exerting," he muttered on, as the man
who had fumbled at his pocket drew
forth shiny ten-cent piece and gave
it to the boy, whose pale face and
dark eyes lighted up in joy.
Later they stopped in at a restau-
rant to have something to eat. The
man who had reprOved the other for
the ten-cent tip to the small boy hand
ed the waiter a large tip in advance,
which made the waiter fawning in his
attentions.
"WeTl get better SERVICE" he ex-
planned, "and then, too, it's Christmas
time"
But the friend who had been re-
proved said: "You don't think you're
exerting a bad influence by any
chance, do you"
And the boy bought the carnatiOn !
and went home, successful and happy, |
but the waiter snubbed the next Gus
toner because he failed to get an ex-
orbitant tip.

wrong in a love affair had embit-
tered him, however, and caused his
misanthrOpical retirement into his use
less obscurity. Reacting against So
ciety, he had more and more turned his
thoughts inward and Enclosed himself
in a shell of selfishness. He was the
sole inhabitant of his little world and
charity was his servant; the only needs
he really believed in were his own
needs; to their supply and protection
his means were consecrated.
But now McKeefrey was strangely
interested. Something Of old sympathy
and youthful feeling stirred in his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought of bOyish anticipations end
afraid for the disappointments that he
fOresaw. He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful, that he had made effort for
good and sent out dreams into the
future. There came back to him o
sense Of the bitter and blighting frost
that had chilled and deadened him, and
there sighed in his soul a faint hope
that happiness might visit him again
in his effort to bestOw it upon others.
1t seemed a sweet and desirable thing
to him to honor the faith that was
causing Tim to reach out into the
world for blessing.
So it was that there were signs OF
strange activity about McKeefrey's
house and mysterious arrivals at Nc
Cann's house. And when, on Christ
mas morning, the McCanns awoke to
the very liberal response that Santa
Claus had made to their specifications,
Mrs. McCann's pessimism was retired
in confusion. II wouldn't have behaved

dhaun. It do beat tn divil. It is more |
wonderful than all your phones and |
wires. These do be great times we do |
be Twin in. niver thought electricity

1t was Tins first step in science, but
he went a good deal farther than that.
Now he can put you into real commune
cation with all the rest Of the world,
If you like. But he owes it all to that
change of heart that came to old Mr..
McKeefrey.

good program was rendered by the

This is a season of holly wreaths
but this had no effect on our attend
ance; there being in excess of a hun

present, if they said anything at all.
Five gallons of delicious ice cream
