1T WAS DELAwARE's DAY.

Yesterday was, in large measure,
Delaware's day at Washington. The
occasion was the reassembling of the
Congress, called together in special
session by President Harding, and the
feature that made it notable was the
seating of Thomas f. Bayard as
member of the Senate for the State of
Delaware. In this capacity he will
serve until March 4, 1928, when the
short term he was elected TO fill will
expire. but Immediately upon the as
sembling Of the new Congress. when
ever that may be, he will again be
qualified as a Senator from the State
of Delaware. TO serve for six years
from March 4, 1928.
Since March 4, 1893, when Senator
Gray ended his second full term and re-
tired leaving the succession untitled, by
reason of the Republican factions then
controlling the Delaware Legislature
being unable to agree upon choice;
Delaware has had two Democratic
Senators, Richard r. Kenney of Dover
and Willard Salisbury of this city.
Senator Kenney. chosen by a Demo-
cratic Legislature, that had resulted
from the Republican factional divi-
sions, served four years, and Senator
Salisbury, elected by the Legislature
in 1913, after the great Roosevelt revo-
luton OF 1912 had hopelessly divided
the Republican party in Delaware as
in other States, served the full term
of six years. He was the last United
States Senator chosen by the Iegis-
1ature of Delaware, the change max
ing Senators elective by popular vote
having become effective before the
time for another choice of Senator
came 10 hanO.
So it was not the mere fact of a
Democrat taking a seat in the United
States Senate to represent the State
of Delaware that made yesterdays
meeting Of Congress at Washington
a notable affair for our people, and
drew many of them to the National
Capital. It wa. because that Demo
cratic Senator was a Bayard, one of
a long line of distinguished prede-
cessors, making a record of family
succession in important and honorable
public station that has no parallel in
our political history. 1t was for this
reason that the eyes of the entire
country turned to Delaware during
the day, and watched with unusual
interest the official induction of
Thomas F. Bayard into the Office Of
United States Senator.
So Mr.. Bayard enters upon his sena-
torial career, now assured for a period
of a few months more than the regular
term OF six years, with unusual pres
tige and distinction. His great-grand-
father was United States Senator,
and so were his grandfather and his
father, while another ancestor, on the
maternal side of his family, also served
in this high station. That such a dis
tinction will be an inspiration TO him
is assured.
All the Bayard Senators served with
high credit, and Senator Bayard's
father was a national leader of the
Democratic party. There is every rea-
son, therefore, TO expect honorable
service and high measure of dis
tinction from the latest Democratic
Senator from Delaware-a Bayard of
the Bayards.

NEVER TOO WISE TO LEARN.
BY Frederic J. Haskin

Washington. Nov. 22.-Scientlsts at'
the Department Of Agriculture have
started back 10 school for the winter.
On certain afternoons when the A3o
gong rings, 200 workers in this depart
ment drop test tubes and calculations
and turn their thoughts 10 higher edu-
cation. Classes taught by highly spe-
cialized experts in agricultural science
are being held and the scientist-stu-
dents gather in appoined laboratories
70 add new wisdom TO their store.
To understand how this may be
how some Of the most competent OF
he country's specialists, out OF college
perhaps 90 or 30 years, are Interested
in going TO school-you must see the
Government scientist as he really Is.
Too often he has been pictured as
learned. round shouldered, distracted
sort of mechanism, that occasionally
climbs down from a laboratory stool
10 describe his wcrk in Government
bulletin.
4 Government scientist may have
corresponded more or less 10 this de-
scription a few decades back. Now
adays- the agricultural scientist looks
more like a business man, a college
professor, a real estate agent. CT a
statesman. He is distinctly human
and he may have a sense of humor
He is just as apt to remember to have
his hair cut as any other type OF citi-
zen.
You cannot imagine a classroom fill
ed with ponderous sages with gro
tesque, absent minded mannerisns.
But you can picture a group of keen
minded men, and women, coming to-
gether to learn about the latest theo-
ries in some branch of their science
as explained by an authority.
This little school OF agricultural
science illustrates an interesting ten
dencY in governmental policy. Once,
a college degree and the ability 10 pass
the technical civil service examination
were regarded as conclusive evidence
of scientists fitness to hold his Gov
ernment job for life. In some of the
departments a scientist was discour-
aged from asking for leave OF absence
in order 10 so 10 a university and in
crease his knowledge OF his subject.
He was made to feel that he was paid
to do a particular kind OF work and
if he did not know everything that he
needed 10 know in his position, then
he was admitting Incompetence and
the Government had better have a man
in his place who knew all about the
science in question. In other words.
self satisfaction was urged upon Gov
ernment scientists.

Education Never Completed.

Now, in the Department of Agri-
culture they are being encouraged TO
leave their work occasionally and get
time off to improve themselves. The
theory that education is never COM
pleted is being put into practice.
This school was started only last
year, but it has already come to the
notice of scientists in different parts
ST the country. DR.. Il. d. Ball. assls-
tapt secretary OF the department, says
that because of these classes and also
because of the higher salary scale now
obtaining, the department now has
less trouble in getting the kind of men
that it needs.
we use 1000 scientists, the largest
scientific force of any department OF
the Federal government, outside of the
War Department" says DIR. Ball. But
# late years we have had difficulty in
getting young men from the univer-
sites to take the civil service exami-
nations Now, I am getting letters
from college students asking how they
should shape their courses in order
TO enter the department. and have the
advantage of Jour post graduate
classes

tiiic men in America TO DO the Govern
