The fifth regular meeting of the
Lincoln Home and School AssOcia-
ton was held in the school building
Monday evening, January 18th, with
a very good attendance. The meeting
was opened with America, the
Beautiful" and prayer by the assem-
bly, which was followed by a busi-
ness session. TEca followed dem
onstration in silent reading by the
Primary Grades and one in arith-
metic fundamentals by the Interme-
diate. Exercises with Walter Camps
Daily Dozen added little variety to
the program. The topic for the
month, "Our Children's Schools"
was very briefly discussed by the
principal. This was followed by the
feature of the evening, an address
by DR.. H. V. Holloway, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, in
which he brought clearly and for
chilly to the attention of his audi
ence the lamentable condition Of the
majority of Delaware's school build
ings. He contrasted the splendidly
lighted poultry houses in and about
Lincoln with the dimly illuminated
school room in which our pupils he
roically strived to do their best in
the demonstration classes. He point !
ed to the six windows scattered over
three walls, each one shedding its |
light at a different angle and Great
ing a veritable network OF cross
lights and a jungle of shadows. He |
called attention to the paradoXical
arrangement of the class room that
is "wider than it is long, wherein
the teacher can see only a half of
the room at time. In closing he
gave a brief but very clear outline
of Mr.. duPont's plan for building
new schools in Delaware and clev-
erly brought out the novel feature
wherein he who has the greatest
number of children would pay the
smallest school tax.
The meeting was then adjourned
to February 18th.
The regular monthly meeting OF
the Board of Trustees will meet at
the church on Monday evening, Feb
ruary End.
Revival meetings are in progress
and will continue during this week
under the direction Of the pastor,
Rev. J. H. Thornton. Large crowds
are in attendance and the meetings
are filled with religious faith. On
Sunday last the pastor had the ass1s-
tance of the Rev. Campbell, an evan
gelist of Cheswold, who spoke morn
ing, afternoon and evening. The SER
vices were enjoyed by a good con-
gregation and the messages were
both interesting and instructive. We
hone to have the Rev. Campbell with
us again in the near future.
