Final decorative work is being
done on the Chateau LIE Paradis at
Ammendale, Md. and as the resort
now stands it is pronounced by
architects and decorators to be the
most beautiful place OF its type IN
the East. 1t will be opened to the
public on MAY /, while a private in
vitation opening, featuring the
sFiesta de Sevillana," Spanish
costume ball, will be held on
Architectural beauty, the star
| Never Davis Tent band, a super
i cuisine, and the Chateau's very con-
. venient location at Ammendale, Nd,
twelve miles FROM Washington on
the Washington Baltimore boulevard
are all factors which, it is believed,
will make the new resort a magnet
for pleasure seekers from both
Baltimore and Washington.
Situated on row rounded hill
several hundred feet from the high
way the Chateau LIE Paradis over
looks all the surrounding country.
The site was originally occupied by
the fine old mansion Of the Wande-
vile Carlisle family which at q cost
of $500. 900 has been converted into
a perfect replica of French noble
chateau OF the fifteenth century.
The huge trees which surround the
building together with the formal
flower gardens and fountains com.
pletely carry out the illusion of an.
other age. Long many-paned win
dows, charming decorative motifs
and open verandas available either
for dancing or lounging are all in
the spirit of the period.
To enter the Chateau is, however,
TO travel from France to Spain in
q single second OF time. The ia
nous New York architect, William
Lawrence Bottomley, with the CO.
operation of Mrs. Meyer Davis, has
adhered to the Spanish mode in
the interior decoration which fea-
lures vivid and almost barbaric coll
orings with fuschia shadings and
ombre effects stressed. Walls will
be finished in terra Gotta plaster
antique so characteristic of Spain
while carven doorways and window
castings win be done in antique gold
and polychrome. An especially pic
turesque effect will be featured in
ne large main dining room by the
sge of two tiers Of windows, the

Indiana Has Plan for leach

BY CARL L. TURNER,
international News Service.


INDIANAPOLIS, April 25.-When
Hoosier educators this year made
possible the first Indiana Junior
Legislature, they set a precedent.
But present indications are that
when the second session Is held
IN 1927, Junior General Assemblies
also will be convened In q dozen
other States.
AS introduced in. Indiana, the pur-
pose Of the junior body OF law.
makers is to give the high school
students practical experience in
disposing Of the States big issues
of the day.
Senators and REPRESENTATIVES. Sc
Iected from the high schools In
each community in much the same
manner as the regular legislators
are elected, only the students
scholarship, rather than popularity,
is the deciding factor.
Regular Sessions.
At the close of the regular legis-
lature the high school "lawmak-
ers'' journey to the State capitol,
where their session is convened
under the guidance of officers OF
the regular senate and house.
The experiment in this State
proved such a complete success
that requests have been received
by DR.. Henry Noble Sherwood,
State Superintendent Of Education,
from sixteen other State boards or
education interested In adopting
the plan.
DR.. Sherwood points out that
the student legislature avails the
youth of the State actual expert
ence in the art Of lawmaking, this
being materially more profitable
and instructive than information
culled from textbooks.
Real Benefit.
THE real benefit to the high
school pupil" said DR.. Sherwood.
sis not alone the widening Of his
perspective by discussing the press
ing problems in open forum. OBJ
viously, present-day problems must
be solved in sweat from the brows
of bona fide lawmakers, but the
Junior legislature does prepare the
youth for shouldering this respon-
sibility when his time comes"
The Junior Indiana "lawmakers,
at their first session, followed
closely the calendar Of the regular
general assembly, even to the stag
ing of q strike" by the minority
senate group, which differed with
the majority on a ''gerrymander"
measure.
A student speaker presided in the
house, and the senate elected a
president pro TEN from its own
ranks But the presiding officers
Of the regular senate and house
sat close by to unravel parliament

procedure.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE EDI-
TOR OF THE SUSSEX JOURNAL,
GEORGETOWN, DELAWARE

Millsboro, Del, Feb. 90, 1926.
Sir:-
In last Saturdays issue Of the Sus-
sex Journal you state that the Par
ent-Teacher Associations are pass
, ing resolutions in favor of the plan
for providing means to build school
houses for Delaware as advocated by
Mr.. P. S. DUPONT, and are presenting
such resolutions to the State Legis-
lature.
Further, you state that the Parent
Teacher Associations are controlled
by the teachers, that the teachers
are under the control of the State
Board of Education, and that it in
turn is dominated by Mr.. dupont.
For your information, 1 beg to
state that our Parent-Teacher AS
sociation has not passed such a res
olution as you describe nor any
thing similar to it. 1t did vote, as all
good citizens should, that we were
in favor Of the legislature taking
some action toward rebuilding the
schools of Delaware at this session,
and a record of such vote was read
in the House at the instance of Hon.
Harley P. White, member from this
Representative District.
The writer further begs to state
that he is free, white, and twenty
one," that he is owned by no man or
party, and that there are many per-
sons in this and in other Delaware
communities who can truthfully
make the same assertion.
Respectfully,
]. C. ELLIS.
