A LESSON IN COUNTRY
JOURNALISM

Editorial in New York Times)
A tale is told in a Texas paper to
the effect that a country journalist
OF that State recently retired from
business, went to Dallas, deposited
$4,000 in local bank, and purposes
to take it easy for the rest of his
life. When questioned as to how it
was that as result Of running his
paper he had acquired his comfort
able little fortune. he is reported to
have replied gravely:
II attribute my ability to retire
with a $4,000 bank account. after
thirty years in the country newspa-
per field, to close application to duty.

the most rigorous rules of economy,
never spending a cent foolishly. ev-
erlastingly keeping at my job with a
whole heart-and the death of an
uncle who left me $49,S99.5O."
As joke that story isn't at all
bad, but it probably has only a slen-
der basis Of fact, if any. If it was

viewed him, it shows his possession

A FEW MORE DAYS Of vacation
and then thousands Of young Amer
leans from rural sections will troop
over the plains and hills to school
Most Of these pupils were promoted
last term and will enter advanced
grades with new fields Of study to
explore. An amazingly large per
cent Of these 100000 young citi-
zens, however, were not promoted
last term and so must enter the
same grade again this fall. With the
stigma of failure over them, will
they glory in the opening Of school
once more?
Reliable statistics indicate that
the number of failures is common
ly 10 per cent and quite often as
high as 25 per cent Of the pupils
enrolled in grade. Parents may do
much to help lower these per cents.
Why so many failures? Common
sense teaches that children, as well
as adults, develop best through sue
ceeding, not failing. Modern child
psychology supports this view.
The teacher may say Henry needs
to repeat the grade because he is
dull or slow. His mother may say
he had a poor teacher. The super
intendent may say he was lazy, un-
interested, did not apply himself,
and so is unprepared for the next
grade. His father may say it is all |
right since he needs the lesson
which failure will teach him. His
failure, no doubt, may be assigned
with greater certainty to one or
more of the following causes which
the parents can help to correct:
Physical defects OF i'll health, poor
home-study conditions, or irregular
attendance. Parents should plan to
have the physical defects remedied
before school and then cooperate
throughout the year that these pre-
ventable barriers may not be stumb-
ling blocks another year.

LEGIONS ESSAY CONTEST

Editorial morning NeWSJ
One striking point about the Della
ware end of the American Legion
National Essay Contest is that only
one essay was submitted from Sus-
sex county, none from Kent and 1913
from New Castle. And the prize es-
say from Sussex was written by a
Laurel girl. Both the other prize
winners were also girls from this
city. This is a rather remarkable
outcome. The wonder is that more
Of the young persons in Kent and
Sussex did not take part. The first
prize winner is seventeen years, the
second sixteen and the third only
fourteen. They deserve the highest
kind of credit for their interest and
the ability displayed.
It was well known throughout the
State that such a contest was under
way, the American Legion is strong
in both the lower counties, the sub
ject is inspiring and there is al
ways more or less interest in COM
petitions Of this kind, but the pres
ent one was almost entirely over
looked in the lower counties. Why
was this?
The schools teach American his
tory and the Constitution and the
implications, there is much general
interest, and why, then, were there
not more contestants?
Questions concerning the Consti-
tuition have been before the people |
for long time, the American Bar
Association manifesting a special |
concern, and also through State
organizations having essay contests.
New Castle county, with only two
short of 200 participants came up
handsomely, the young people here
being very much awake.
The prizes in the State contest
are all that could be desired, sill
yer and bronze medal for the first
and second and a certificate for the
third prize. The three winners en-
ter the national contest with
chance for an important prize.
The Legion deserves high praise
for instituting these contests. In
so doing, as has been said, the
Legion is fulfilling one of its many
duties, namely, the promotion of
in patriotism, a knowledge
Of our public institutions and fos-
tering higher education for the
younger generation.
The subject Of the contest is why
has the American Legion, an organi-
.ation Of the Veterans of the World
War, dedicated itself, first of all, to
lphold and defend the Constitution
# the United States of America"
That is suggestive and instruc-
i've.

QUE WASHINGTON LETTRR
(By National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)

(by NauOnal EdlC0r1al ASSOclat1on)
Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, August 5-Reports
coming into Washington show that
members Of Congress and nearly
two score Senators whose terms will
expire within a few months are cul-
tiVating the home folks. The direct
primary system undoubtedly has
much to do with this unusual inter-
est. Even Legislators who would or
dinarily allow their secretaries to
handle routine correspondence are
writing personally to constituents on
the slightest proVocation. The ele-
ment Of good will is something to
consider and the local 'bosses" are
quick to drop candidates when pub
lie sentiment switches. AS a result
of this effort to have good deeds re-
place empty promises, Federal de-
partments are feeling the effects of
Congressional requests" for coop

the sun.
If the next Congress makes good
on all the pledges of its members to
various organizations sponsoring
legislative fads, it will be a busy

two years ago, voted in favor of a
law prohibiting parents from send
ing their children to any but public
schools. Private schools were en-
tirely eliminated by the measure.
The United States Supreme Court
has annulled that law as contrary to
every principle of constitutional lib
erty.
There are many reasons why par
ents may not want to send their
children to public schools. The de-
cision does not affect the power Of
the state to enforce proper school
ing. The state may insist that the
academic standards Of private
schools be the same as those of pub
lie schools. It may license teachers
and supervise all schools to assure
the maintenance Of standards. But
it cannot interfere with special in
struction Of the normal or cultural
nature.
This decision illustrates how the
United States constitution and the
United States Supreme Court guar
antee and protect the rights Of the
American citizen. Hasty legislative
action or hysterical decisions at
general elections cannot override
the ultimate protection afforded ev-
cry citizen by these two great in
stitutions of American liberty.

a few Of them, in just the right sort
of town and managed by man who
knew what a country newspaper
ought to be, not only have supported
the editor and his family and his
little staff well for many years, but
one of them often has given him a
very satisfactory amount of dignity
and power.
Such editors do not have to de-
pend on uncles for the money on

have the highly unjournalistic incli-
nation to do so.

MILFORD, FRIDAY. AUG 7. 1926

THE PAST WEEK was one OF
great pleasure to the people of all
Of Delaware, because of the Kent
and Sussex Fair. Generally those
who went remained until late in the
evening and enjoyed the fireworks
and side shows; but, by far, the
horse racing attracted and held a
majority of the people to that part
Of the program.
It must not be thought, that horse
racing was the whole show, for the
departments of live stock, machin-
cry, canning, preserving, sewing and
vegetable display held q very large
part of the public interest. OF course
those who own horses and are deep
ly interested in racing, believe that
to be the entire show and other ex-
hibits and departments only side
shows to horse racing; but, if this
idea is permitted to oVershadow the
balance of the fair, then the begin
ming of the end will Immediately
follow rapidly, and the Kent and
Sussex Fair, which has just closed a
surprisingly successful season, will
decline and finally end where other
fairs have when this idea has been
permitted to predominant, and it will
become a memory.
The people want to be amused as
well as entertained at their local
fairs, so that staging novelty acts
in vaudeville, acrobatic performan-
ces and spectacular scenes, form a
part of a successful fair. The pick
ing and making a program that will
hold all the people is large job for
trained men. This particular point
should be well grounded with those
having the Kent and Sussex Fair AS
sociation management as a part OF
their duties. The future Of this fair
is In their hands and no amount OF
horse racing that can be staged un-
der the Delaware laws regulating |
horse racing, can hold the interest
Of all the people, or even small
percentage of the number who at
tended this fair during the week
lust past. On the other hand, with
a studied policy to supply both
and education for the
carried into effect, then the
interest in it's annual attractions
each season, will continue to draw
who pay the gate money
and make it possible for the owners
of racing horses to stage successful
racing events and continue the fair
successfully for years to come. The
path is well blazed in the history OF
other fairs, not only in Delaware,
but in other states. 1t remains now
for the management of the Kent
and Sussex County Fair to benefit by
their experience. The people have
shown their willingness to patronize
a well balanced fair and the man
agement have their work cut out for
them for the next year: to create
and hold an attraction means a great
amount of persistent work.

HOW TO BE LET ALONE

Ever since the day George Wash
ington, in his farewell message, ad
vised against entangling alliances i
has been the desire Of the American
people that they be let alone to worl
out their own destiny. They have
not always been permitted to do this
In the first part of the nineteenth
century Great Britain so mistreateC
our sailors and our ships at sea thai
we had to fight to protect them. a
little more than a hundred years
later the Imperial German govern
ment so violated the rights Of Am
erican citizens and American prop
erty on the high seas that again we
were compelled to go to war to de-
fend American interests.
On each occasion we were attack
ed and maltreated because it was
thought that we could or would not
defend ourselves. Great Britain in
1912 looked down upon our miniature
navy with contempt. 1t took the ex-
ploits Of our naval heroes of that
period to correct this impression
and to assure our being let alone to
ply our business on the high seas.
The German government had been
led to believe by false showing Of
American pacifst sentiment that we
would endure anything rather than
fight in 1917. Again it took a dis
play of American fighting qualities
to correct the impression and to as
sure our being let alone for an
other generation at least.
The point to be emphasized is
that in each case we were mistreat-
ed because it was believed that we
could not or would not defend our
selves. When we proved that we
could and would we gained the re-
spect of the entire world.
Now across the Pacific there is
China, a big country which wants
to be let alone, too. But China has
been abused and will continue to be
abused because Of this same belief
that she cannot protect herself.
If China had a navy which could
fight like the American navy did in
1872, or if she could equip an army
capable of taking care of things as
the American army did in 1918, then
the rest of the world would decide
that it might pay to let China alone
to work out her own destiny.
Both American and China want to
be let alone. Uncle Sam is let alone |
and treated with respect because he
has proved that he knows how to de-
lend himself and punish his enemies.
China is not let alone and is not
.reated with respect because she
,annot defend herself.
The mistaken paciflst in America
would reduce us to the helplessness
# China. They say that such an ex-
.mple would induce the rest Of the
World to follow our example. But
'hina has not been able to induce
to disarm. Her helpless
ess is a pitiful but eloquent warn
lg to the United States. If we
amt Europe to regulate our busi-
ess and overrun our territory all
% need to do is disarm until we
ave come as harmless as China. l
he American field for exploitation {
even richer than the Chinese
respect. t

Slings were first attached to the

Weather conditions were ideal. The
sea was unusually smooth and. the
