The Dover boys. certainly did wal
lOp the Laurel protesters on Wednes-
day. Poke Whalen's team looked more
like the Philadelphia Nationals than
pennant contenders. We wonder whe-
ther it is fear that has caused these
protests on the Milford players.
~
Laurel played Mattix last year while
a student at Delaware College. By do
ing this they encouraged him to vio-
late the collegiate rules which pro-
hibit college students who play on col
lege teams from playing in organized
base ball. But yet they are good sports.
#
Speaking of real base ball. How
about the race in the Eastern Shore
League On Monday, four teams were
tied for second place, with but half
game separating them from the lead
ers. Three games difference between
the leaders and seventh place. Some
race.
1t seems strange-but did you no
tice that while Laurel was leading
and Milford was in about fifth place
no mention was made of protesting.
When the local boys struck their
stride and commenced to climb; then
came the protest. More of a baby act,
than good sportsmanship.
r.
Milford and Laurel have played four
games so far this season. The first
game Milford won to 4; the second
game Milford won to 2; the third
game Laurel won to 0; the last
game Milford won to 2. Three games
won by Milford by one run margin;
while the other was won by Laurel by
a 8 run margin. In other words Mil
ford has scored IL runs off Laurel, and
Laurel has scored. II runs off Milford
in four games. How about that for
evenly matched teams? But yet they
protest.
T.
Milford base ball fans resent the ac-
ton of the two local players who came
to blows in the Milford dugout during
last Saturdays game. Regardless OF
the cause of the fight, the conduct OF
Humphreys is inexcusable and the
Milford people do not want this kind
of conduct on the local grounds. While
the local fans would have hated to
have lost the game, it would have
been good for the game to have bench
ed "Humph" Immediately. The fact
that the men shook hands immediate
ly following the inning, does not al
ter the fact, that this rOughneck stuff
will not go in Milford. This first oc-
currence should be the last.

Mrs. Costigan is chairman of one of the seven standing com mittees of the national league-the living costs committee. It is the work of the committee she heads to find out why living costs what it does not cost and what things must be done to make It cost less. Is co-opera ton a sound idea? If it is Mrs. Cos tigan must explain why and tell just how existing schemes can be made more effective. Is the middleman get ting too much? Is ineffective trans portation playing a great part in cost? In what way can good supply and demand be most effectively reg ulated? These are some of the prob lems Mrs. Costigan works on and comes to the south to talk about She possesses an unusually soft and well placed voice which has been admirably trained, for in her girl hood there was time when 1t seemed likely she would make sing ing her profession. For some time after leaving school she taught in a Kindergarten and became one of the best known Story Hour" takers in the west. She is a native of Wiscon- sin, but has spent most of her life in Denver, where she became active in club and political work when she was a slip of a girl Mrs. Costigan, who is a member of the Unitel States tariff commission, was a school mate of his wife's-Mabel Cory she was then-in the Denver High school and theirs Is one of the many marriages which testify to the success of CO., education in giving boys and girls common interests.

ing the look of dismay upon her mothers face, she quickly added: Don't worry, mother, all the other mothers were wrong also."
 The moral of the story is that mothers and fathers should not do the work for their children nor even with their children. Their duty is simply to see that the latter spend sufficient time upon their tasks and let the teachers look after the results.
 Parents who have sufficient educa- tion will do well to inspect occasion ally the written work of the pupils, just to get a general view of the way in which the task has been accom- plished. If the written task presents neat appearance, and the penman- ship is carefully done, the parent can rest satisfied. It is also advisable to see what rating or mark the teacher has given In our city schools and in most schools in the country, we have adopted the same nomenclature as the business world: "A' means work of real excellence, "B" very satisfactory. Any lower rating means that the teacher has not been pleased with the result.
 Most teachers occasionally add a word or two of encouragement. Thus Finer 'Improvingn' The best in the class" q like thisr etc., are compliments which the children are glad to receive and will show at home with pride. Sometimes the remarks will show that the teacher is dis pleased. Sorry! You can do much betterr Poor figures and careless nessn' Inattention or misconduct dur ing the explanations given most care fully in the class rooms by the faith ful and efficient teacher causes fail ures
 It often happens that a pupil will succeed better with one teacher than with another. If, therefore, you notice that your boy who last term had to be driven by you to do his home work now sets about his task quickly, do not take to yourself too much of the credit. What has hap pened is that the teacher of the new class has high standards and insists upon them, is firm in her discipline, and in a quiet but easy manner com pels the pupils to do their work. Many parents, however. fail to show proper appreciation of the teacher who makes such complete reforma- tion of their child's habits. May we suggest that you call some time at the school and tell the principal or the teacher how grateful you are for the fine service rendered? If you have not time to call better plan, and one that does not waste the teachers time in seeing you, is to send few lines of appreciation.
 A note of encouragement and ap- preciation heartens the teacher to still

ACKER BIRTHDAY REUNION

MT. W. c. Acker on his ninetieth birthday, October 10, was given Q surprise party at his home near Lin coln Ala, by his children, grand chil- dren. They arrived at lunch time bringing dinner and a beautiful birthday cake covered with 9C candles, which was served on the lawn. While dinner was being served the old farm bell was tapped 9C times by his grandson, Dewey Acker of Birmingham.
 MT. Acker seemed cheerful and happy throughout the day, and ap- preciated the many gifts that he was so well remebered with. He still en- joys good health and is very active
 MT. Acker was born in South Caro- lima and brought to Alabama when six weeks old. He served four years in the Civil war and was wounded in the battle of Atlanta. After the war he came back to his home which land he had settled before he left for the service.

DON'T HELP TOO MUCH

The reopening of the public schools brings joy to hundreds of thousands of parents who rejoice that the long vacation season is a& an end, and that their children will be out of mis- chief and harms way for at least five hours each day. Most pupils. also, are glad to be hack again at their school duties. The great majority Of the million pupils who attend our public schools did not go to the copn- try for their vacation, and as a rule, they are tired of their long rest, ane welcome the reopening of the school doors.
 Father Knickerbocker may well re- joice that the great army of nearly 30, 900 teachers and principals is so very efficient in the performance of their duties that the poets descrip- tion of the lad creeping like 6 snail unwilling to school" is no longer true. The official statistics of the beard of education show that the average at tendance of all the elementary schools of the city for the school year ending June 30, 1923 was 92 per cent. Over 150 schools obtained the remarkable average of over 9S per cent.
 It is fortunate, therefore, that parents no. longer have much occasion to worry over the truancy of their
 
 ly gone out of style and the troubles of the attendance officer-no longer called "truant officer" are reduced to special cases of pupils who have ignorant parents. who fail to obey the law.
 A matter of great importance is that of the homework required from the pupils. Many parents do not be- gin to do their full duty to their
 
 of the education of their children. There are a few suggestions which the readers of The Age-Herald would do well to remember.
 First-As a rule teachers do not assign an excessive amount of home work. If any parents find that their children are spending too long a time at their books, especially in the prep aration of written work, it is advis- able to complain to the teacher, and then if no relief is afforded by con sulting with the principal of the school the difficulty will be promptly adjusted. and any unfair or immod- crate assignment will be reduced to proper amount.
 In the second place, many parents in their excess of zeal for their chil : dren to obtain high marks in school, give too much help to the pupils, and the work becomes more largely that of the parents than of the children. Homework is assigned by the teacher to be done by the children them selves, and if the parents do it for them, it is not only encouraging dis honesty on the part of the pupils but also makes them careless and lazy. Most, if not all, teachers assign writ ten home work as review of the work done in the class room, and if the pupil has paid proper attention he will not need his parents help at home.
 further reason why the parents should not do the home work for their children is that there has often been change in methods since the former went to school.
