could have rooted deep in theil
mind, that manhood has no higher
altitude than to be a man or woman
to whom some sort of work is in.
dispensible, they will have then
started on the road to success. The
highest aim of any man or woman
is not the accumulation Of wealth,
beyond the necessities and comforts
of life; but, the building up of a
character that insures his or her
personal happiness. 1t is given only
to a few to heap up wealth into
great fortunes; but 1t is to that great
host of men and women in every
land, who are the responsible steady
toilers in business, in creative work
and lifting up of the morals Of a
nation, that the honors and happi-
ness of life is given. Tt is an open
chance for all who will try for sue
cess and happiness. Without happi-
ness, there can not be any real sue
cess. When the bubble of life
breaks all reach the same level.

ROTARY AND A LIVE TOWN ex-
perience has shown in the past gen
orally travel hand-in-hand. This ev-
ening Milford will join the lists of
cities which have seen the light and
lined up with this movement for bet
ter business methods, better civic
conditions and better fellowship
among the business men generally.
Final steps in the formation of
Rotary Club in Milford are schedul-
ed to take place this evening when
Mr.. E. P. Bardo, head of the Viii
mington Rotary Club, accompanied
by other Wilmington Rotarians,
take charge Of an organization meet
ing which will elect the club mem
bers. Those of us who know but lit
tie of Rotary and the wonderful
work which it is apparently doing
for its members, and the community
in which it functions, may be skep-
teal as. to any direct benefits which
will accrue from the installation Of
a Rotary Club in Milford. At Laurel
and Dover, both nearby neighbors
these clubs have proven their worth.
Both towns are booming, and it is
quite a coincidence that the booms
both started only after the func-
tioning of live Rotary organizations
in each town. The members of the
new Rotary Club are spending good
money in dues and other incidentals
in starting the club, and will be |
compelled to keep on spending to
keep it functioning properly; but
the results which will surely ac-
crue from the organization will
more than repay each individual for t
his time, effort and financial expen-
ditures. We hope that with the COM I
ing of Rotary, Milford will take on I
even greater importance.

IN DELAWARE members Of the
State Bar Association have for two 1
years past encouraged a policy t
which has for its object, more C
general understanding of the Con- n
stitution of the United States, and
the Constitution of Delaware, by the
school children; especially those in
the grammar and high school grades. f
Cash prizes have been given and s
awarded by members of the Bar of h
Delaware each year, for essays writ "
ten by the school boys and girls in "
open contest, which have aroused an h
interest in the contest itself, as well tt
as created a purpose among the n
students, to study the language and S,
its meaning, Of the Constitution of y
the national government and the 81
states. This interest has become cl
nationwide; and, recently word has p
been received at Washington from II
numerous sections of the country ci
indorsing the Presidents stand in pl
the matter of the studying of the b!
Constitution in the schools of the it
country. Ell
The Presidents thought is that al
the study Of the Constitution by the
would no doubt have a in
most important influence upon the III
parents. le
OF course, for years one of the aV
items in the curriculum of high tr
schools has been the Constitution te
If the United States" but in the vast ar
majority of instances this teaching ed

character. 1t has not had instilled nj

Indications are that this fall will sh
