MILFORD, FRIDAY, AUG. IA, 1925

IN FUTURE HISTORY Of Della
ware and the United States place
will be given to the name of George
Gray, of Delaware, as one of a bril-
liant galaxy of statesmen who have
displayed ability and wisdom to up
hold the standards of citizenship in
the nation and debate of world prob
lens which have been solved by men
of Delaware. George Gray was a
nobleman, of the kind that any cOun-
try would be proud to have had the
honor of producing. Thoroughly i'm
bued with patriotic principles and
love of his government, and with a
broad mind capable Of encompass
ing the affairs Of political world,
as well as the political affairs Of his
own nation, he performed the duties
of a statesman with honor to him
self and the glory Of his country at
the same time reaching a fair ad-
justment of interests involved be-
tween other countries. His life is a
splendid example for all men to
pattern after. With the confidence
of those who had personal knowl-
edge of his character and abilities,
he inspired the same confidence to
those with whom he became asso-
ciated, so that his work in world
wide affairs, brought renOwn and re-
spect for George Gray from the ma
tions Of the earth. He was a Demo-
crat in politics; but, above and be-
yond that fact, he was a loyal, pa
triotic citizen who believed in up
holding the government, and had the
courage to stand firm on any and
all questions involving the rights OF
people and the moral standards OF
government. Delaware has seen the
passing of a great man. A man who
sprang from her own citizenship and
who lived for eighty-fve years re-
spected and respecting others in a
community who knew him for what
he was, and who honored him with
high honors such as only few at
tain in state and national govern
ment. He honored Delaware while
living, and Delaware honors his |
name and memory, with deep re-
gret at the passing of one of her
really great men.

WHY MISLEAD FARMER AND
WORKMAN2

When our present tariff system
was framed, between forty and fifty
of the principal agricultural organi-
cations of the country were repre-
scented at the hearings before the
Ways and Means Committee. They
succeeded in carrying all their
points with the result that practical
ly everything the farmer buys for
use on his farm was placed on the
free list, and everything the farmer
raises for sale was put on the pro-
tected list.
In spite of all the political talk to
the contrary, it is safe to say that
the general opinion Of the informed
farmer is, that our present tariff
laws are as nearly perfect from the
point of view of the farmer as it is
possible to make them.
To open the food gates Of Europe
and the Orient and abolish the tariff
on wheat and other cereals, wool,
butter, eggs, cheese, citrus fruits,
sugar and a hundred other things
that the farmer raises which are
now protected, would be calamity
for the farmer just as he is begin
ming to get on his feet.
A blow at the tariff protection to
American industry is a blow at the
factory worker, which in turn is a
blow at the farmer, because Ameri-
can workmen comprise the biggest
market for American farm products.
The sooner the public, the labor
ing man, and the farmer realize
these homely facts, the sooner will
the tariff question be taken out Of
politics and considered purely as a
scientific business problem, to be
changed only as varying conditions
warrant a reconsideration of rate
schedules.

SoS

IN JUST a few days over three
weeks the public schools of Della
ware will reopen for the school year
of 1925-26. To those who are par
ents this should be an important
event and responsibility for them to
meet with realization of how they
must help their children to grow in
to fine men and women; to replace
them in the active work and happ1-
ness of the future. In the little
school house among the fields in
rural districts the same RESPONSE
bilities are found, as are found in
the larger schools of cities and
towns everywhere. In the larger
towns of Delaware, such as Milford
forms a part, the Boards Of Educa-
ton have been working out during
the entire summer, plans for i'm
provement Of the school properties,
and at the same time, securing and
assigning teachers for the various
departments of study. That work re-
uuired so much time from the men
and women who performed it WELL
that it is difficult for the average
man or woman to understand why
these members of educational boards
continue to do this work, without
pay or hope of reward; but they are
doing it and ask no praise or re-
ward for their service. They are
real service citizens-when the work
is truly and faithfully accomplished.
The town of Milford has for forty
years had men interested in educa-
ton through the public schools, who
have never faltered in this service.
This accounts for the maintenance
of her public schools at a high STAN
dard for all of this period Of time.
It has for long years been recognized
that the buildings used for educa-
ton purposes in Milford, were not of
sufficient size to afford the best re-
suits from the efforts made; but,
that period has now ended and there
is a general recognition of the truth,
that Milford shall do justice to her
children, by erecting a modern high
school building, in which the chill
dren may have advantages that they
are now deprived of, and get better
education from the same amount Of
money spent on maintaining the
schools of today which are now in
scattered rooms which are insult
able and inconvenieptly arranged for
school purposes.
In the news columns of the
Chronicle is an article on the
schools of Milford, and the teaching
CORPS, which will be interesting
reading for parents who have chill
dren to educate in the pubic
schools.

HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION OF
THE FARM POPULATION

The farm boy today is getting less
education than any other group Of
children. A study just published by
the Department of the Interior, Bu-
reau of Education, Bulletin 1925, No.
6, High School Education of the
Farm Population, makes known for
the first time the comparative ex-
tent to which farm and non-farm
children are enrolled in high
schools. Farm children as a whole
are reached to a less extent than
non-farm children and farm boys
are reached to a much less extent
than farm girls or either boys or

THE MONEY THAT WE PAY in
taxes for the education of our chill
dren is our very best investment,
provided that we are wise enough to
insure that it is well spent. How
can we do this? Generally, so far as
the ordinary citizen is concerned it
is by showing an intelligent interest
in the school all the year round. Not
spasmodically but constantly. Is
there a board member to be select
ed? Then go to the voting place and
help select the best person for the
Job. Is a new schoolhOuse or re-
pairs for an old one needed? Then
do your part to insure that the build
ing is the best the community can
afford. Is a teacher to be employed?
Do all you can to see that the school
board members are encouraged to
get the best teacher available. Do
not be satisfied with a cheap teach
er. The board will follow the SEN
timent of the community in regard
to the qualifications and salary of
the teacher.
Do your part in creating COM
munity sentiment favorable to a
good school. The citizens of the
community are responsible for the
quality of the farmers school-not
just the members of the school
board.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE is
only partial and ineffective remedy
for the public against losses caused
by irresponsible auto drivers. In
many accidents, blame cannot be fix
ed and insurance would not help.
The great majority of motorists
should not be "fned" through COM
pulsory insurance because of the
faults of a few.
Forcing such insurance would in
crease accidents, jury duty, litiga-
ton and taxes.

BE READY FOR THE COLD SNAP

BE READY FOR THE COLD SNAP
Two growers at Mabton, Wash,
have sold their Anjou pears for $1OO
a ton. Both men heated their or
chards freely to ward off spring
frosts. Their price is from $40 to
$35 a ton better than that paid for
most other pears. Moses Sampson,
Indian farmer on the reservation at
White Swan, Wash, has sold his hop
crop for better price than that paid
for most other hops; he has the best
cultivated yard in Yakima County.
Hard luck may come to the best
farmer, as it comes to the best bus
mess men in other lines. But the
man who really tries to raise bet
ter crops, almost always does it.

GENERAL PROGRESS AND
MODERN SCHOOLS

Every patron of the public school
system owes an obligation to that
system. If improvement in the
schools is not keeping pace with
progress in industry, in farm ma
chinery; in general transportation,
including roads, type of vehicles, and
the like, there is something wanting
in the school system we may be
sure. Even though it may not be

THE FREQUENT escapes of pris-
oners from the Kent County Jail at
Dover, indicates that there is either
a lax guard over the inmates, or
that there is a woeful condition of
insecurity in that particular Jail. 1t
has been the boast of the county
Democrats of Kent, that this Jail was
conducted with economy and secur-
ity of prisoners; especially under
their administration of county af-
fairs. Since just few months past
there has been escapes by prisoners
in two or more cases, of which the
public is asked to accept explana-
tions which simply do not explain.
The latest explanation as given out
by the correspondents of city news
papers from Dover, who are identi-
fed with the Democratic party, int1-
mates that the Jail is without sani-
tary conveniences to permit prison
ers being behind their cell doors un-
til a late hour in the night, which
offered them the opportunity to saw
their way to freedom. Just how
much of this is the truth is what the
people are asking. If it is true, then
why all the boasting by the same re-
porters in the past, as to the splen-
did conditions enjoyed by the Kent
county jail? If there are such con-
ditions, why not "roast" the former
Jail commissioners or the Levy Court
which for four years under the
new system and for twenty years be-
fore that, was under Democratic
control, for this insecure and unsan-
itary condition? What the people
want to know is, just why the fire.
quent Jail deliveries happen and the
prisoners make their escape. viii
the news correspondents, who are
all Democrats, tell the balance of the
state and county, the real truth? The
Kent county Jail is rapidly gaining
a reputation for insecurity as to the
holding of prisoners-for what
cause?

Save the Wild Flowers

written by Mrs. C. j.. Lowe,
Cody, appearing in Christian Science
Monitor.)
Summer will soon be here with
her charm If flowers and foliage.
Few there are who can remain I'M
moved by the beauty of field and
wood, or by that delectable COM
bination of mountain. forest and
stream. For the owe for nature is
an elemental thing hat will not be
denied. But sometimes this love
for nature takes strange forms in
its indulgence, and in its name are
committed many thoughtless depre-
dations. The lovliness and fragrance
of the wild flowers and shrubs that
crowd the country lanes, or that
Tighten up the dim recesses under
the trees, or that soften the rugged
masses of rock. tempt visitors to
pluck them, and the knowledge that
they can be theirs for the pluckin5
makes them forget their obligations
to preserve such beauty.
Many of the choicest wild flowers,
some of them the rare native or
chids ar gone for ever, due to
this unthinking passion for theii
possession. The trailing arbutus
the mountain laurel and the flower
ing dogwood, not to mention others
no longer are to be found in many
Localities where formerly they flour
ished. The conservation of wilt
flowers is no less important thar
the conservation of forest trees.
Automobiles make it possible Il
go such great distances that many
places can now be reached wherf
the wild flowers and shrubs grow
in profusion. These same great dis
~tances, however, make it difficult
to preserve the freshness OF the
flowers until the end of the return
trip. So, huge quantities are gath

cred, only to wither shortly after
ward.
If it is felt hat bouquets of wild
flowers are necessary for the full
enjoyment of a trip, much damage
can be avoided by taking to the
country a pair of small scissors and
cutting the blooms just as would
be done if they grew in a garden
at home. This leaves the root I'M
molested and the plant will bloom
again next season. Wild flowers as
a rule have tough why stems and
this fact, combined with their shall
low root-hold, makes it almost i'm
possible to avoid pulling up the en-
tire plant when gathering the flow
ers by hand. Also, by taking a box
in which to put the flowers AMI
covering the stems with wet sand
reasonable length of time. And a
bit of the out-of-doors is captured
to be enjoyed later.
Or better yet. Why not build
a wild flower garden? This can
be done by initiating as closely as
possible the natural environment of
the flowers before they were trans
planted, noticing the kind of soil
in which they grew, whether sandy
or loamy, and the drainage, whether
the moisture was retained or if it
drained quickly away. Also it
should be noticed if they grew in
the sun, or if partially or entirely
in the shade. If these precautions
are taken there is no reason why
the wild lowers cannot be success
fully transplanted. 1t is better, too,
to do the transplanting when the
plants are young, as then they will
be more likely to take o and
thrive in their new environment.
Remember always hat the true
lover of nature eve destroys but
always protects its treasures.

CODY HIGH SCHOOL
ON ACCREDITED LIST

Miss Ruby Mcbride. principal of
the Cody high school, has received
the advice of the North Central AS
s~ociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools that the Cody High School
is still on the accredited list of that
association, which is a coveted hon
or for the average high school in
towns the size of Cody.
In order hat a high school be an
accredited one. it must offer the
required number of subjects to its
students, employ only teachers
meeting high standards of quaiifi-
cation, and pay salaries which will
insure the employmentTof the most
learned educators. That the Cody
high school meets all these require
ments is very gratifying to the pa
irons of the schools.
In announcing that the local
school is a member of the North
formation regarding the organiza-
ton may be enlightening:
The association was founded in
1895 by a group of foresighted men
representing but a small number of
institutions and a very limited ter
ritory. 1t has steadily grown TO in
clude twenty states, Arkansas being
included in 1928, and West Virginia
in 1925.
The aim of the North Central
association is declared in the consti-
tuition, Article III. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
THE object of the Association
shall be to establish closer relations
between the secondary schools and
institutions Of higher education
within the north central states and
such other territory as the ~associa-
ton may recognize"
That these aims are, to a large
degree, realized. is evidenced by the
steady growth OF tile organization
in territorial accessions, in the NUN
Der of affiliated and accredited
schools and colleges. and in the
power of prestige exercised in re-
spect to educational policies and
practices throughout the country.
Twenty states are today embraced
within the association. These are
Arizona. Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri. Montana, Ne
braska, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wy
oming. At the time of the annual
meeting, March, 1925. the ~associa-
ton accredited 1904 high schools
and academies.
The North Central association is
seeking to promote the cause of
education through three types of
activities; first. by bringing about
a better acquaintance. a keener
sympathy and a heartier cooperation
between the colleges and secondary
schools of its territory; second, by
considering common educational
problems and devising ways and
means of solving them; and third,
by promoting the physical, intellec-
tual and moral well being of stu
dents by urging proper sanitary
conditions of school buildings, ad
eQuate library and laboratory facil-
tiles, and higher standards of schol-
arship.
The Association is the most gen
orally recognized st~andardizing
agency for high schools and col
leges in the north central states
if indeed it does not rank first in
prestige in the entire United States.
Recognition by the North Central
association means, therefore, in the
educational world, : the, same as
ranking by Dunn or Bradstreet in
the field of finance and business.
