Dagsworthy Aydelotte, who under the
will of the Gen. was the chief de-
visee and afterwards became the wife
of William Hill Wells. Gen. DagswOr-
thy built near the old chapel, man
sion house, Of large proportions, for
those times, low and rambling in de-
sign, but spacious and we'll calculated
for the lavish entertainments for
which it was famed, and in keeping
with the homes of the large land own
ers of that time who with their many
servants required much room. This
was the home of William Hill Wells,
it having come to his wife by the will
of Gen. Dagsworthy who had adopted
her as his daughter. Wells was law
yer, but no trace or record can be
found of his admission to the Della
ware bar. The large means that came
to his wife relieved him from eXertion
and it is probable that he became ''the
gentleman farmer" and a man of leis-
ure. To him and his wife were born
four sons, DagswOrthy, Henry H., Ed
ward L., and Alfred, and one daugh-
ter, Rachel. The sons all became law
yers and for time were active in
the practice of law Henry H. Wells
was Secretary of State under Cover
nor Joseph Hazlet. Edward L. Wells
was for years a resident and practic-
ing attorney in Georgetown, and serV-
ed for years as Register in Chancery.
Alfred Wells, the youngest son of Will
liam Wells, settled in ithaca, N. Y,
where he was a successful lawyer
and for some years on the bench. He
also served a term in Congress. Rach-
ell Wells, the only daughter of William
Wells, married William D. NAPLES,
and she and her husband, during their
married life occupied the old Days
worthy mansion.

American sugar beet interests want the tariff ad-

Soapping Married Teachers

mHE Casper Board of Education, so reported, has
IL drawn n line against the employment OF married
teachers. The why of sending married ones to the
discard Is not explained by anyone connected VIII
the board. 1t was but a brief year or two since thai
uoards of education the country over were sending NJ
the distress signals for teachers of any kind, married
ones, single ones, god ones, por mes, anything thai
could by any stretch be labeled school teacher was
acceptable. They had quit school teaching for othez
and better paid employments and school house,
through out the land were closed and many OF those
operated were in charge of grade pupils for the time
being. There being less demand and less wages IN
other lines, those qualified are drifting back to school
teaching. which has been made fairly remunerahTe by
increase in salaries
Eut as to discrimination against married teachers
meaning women, the local board does not attempt to
justify itself. If women are incompetent to teach
what about the married men employed? What about
the superintendent of the whole works? IL being a
family person disqualhies then the sexes should stand
upon an equality as the nineteenth amendment con-
templates, and nothing but single ones should have
anything to do with the trimming of pupils.
By all that is reasonable, the reverse OF the boards
edict should be the rule. for the married woman would
seem better qualified by reason of her married state
than the single teacher whose sole occupation is to
attain the same state and therefore has little or no
interest in the work she undertakes.
A teacher should be judged solely by ability, quail
fieutions and work performed and not upon sex or
s;noieness or married state. And if the local board
;n.ists mon any such rule as is contemplated it would
zuper to be an unjust discrimination and a step back
tuard so far as the good OF the schools is concerned.
