New York, New Jersey and Delaware
may apply at Governors Island for
the Citizens Military Training Camp

for the camp which will open on Au-
gust 6 and close September 4, Cen
eral Summerall announced at Gov
ernor's Island.
There will be two camps at Platts-
burg this summer, the General ex-
plained, and the fact that the first
one scheduled for the period July 2
to July 81 has been completely fill
cd and no more applications can be
accepted, has led to an erroneous
opinion throughout the Second Corps
Area that no more applications are
being accepted for the G. M. T.
Camps at Plattsburg, this summer.
"As a matter of fact" said the Cen
eral, there are eight hundred va
cancies for the August Plattsburg
camp.
A month in camp without costing
them a cent is offered to young men
with no previous military training
between seventeen and twenty-fOur
years of age. For those with train
in gin the National Guard, the r. o.

ticket from home to camp, will pay
three dollars a day for meals en-
route, will provide complete army
uniform, substantial, well-cooked,
food, laundry, medical attention and
instruction by specially qualified
Regular Army officers. The troops
that assist in the training will be the
Twenty-sixth Infantry Of the famous
old First Division.
Young men in Citizens Military
Training Camps will be given the
opportunity to learn to shoot the ar
my rifle. With this military training
will go studies in citizenship, hikes
and athletics, and best of all, a
month in the open air amid healthy
surroundings. Applications are be-

MISS BROWN IN
TEACHER AWARD
viii Represent Delaware In SesQui-
Centennial Competition.

Miss May Brown, of Glasgow, Del
aware, was selected at a luncheon
group meeting of educational leaders
at the Hotel DUPONT, Wilmington, to
represent Delaware in the Teachers
Award Competition at the Sesqui-
Centennial in Philadelphia. Miss
Brown will compete with teachers
from all over the United States in
the national competition for excel
lency in educational work, in July.
The meeting was called by DR.. H.
V. Holloway, State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, who is also
chairman of the Delaware American
Youth and Teachers Award Com
mission at the Sesqui-C
Each state will have representa-
tive of both teachers and youths at
the Sesqui celebration. These repre-
sentatives will be spokesmen for
their groups at all conferences of the
award commission.
There were four applicants for the
appointments, as follows: Miss jean
nette Shockley, Dover; Miss Ana
belle Beckett, Smyrna; Mrs. Alice II.
Ross, Harrington, and Miss Brown.
Citations were handed in by each
one of the applicants. Miss Brown,
who has been at the Glasgow school
for seven and one-half years has
taken an active part in community
work. She organized both the P. T.
Association and the Health Club
there.
The award to the youths was to be
made at Dover this week. There are
80 applicants for the appointment.
The youths will be honored for acts
of heroism.

DELAWARE HEALTH RULES COMPARE
FAVORABLY WITH OTHER STATES
Water And Sanitary Signs On Highways Adopted By Other
COmmOnweahs Inspection OF Eighty Canneres To Be Started
This Week

Board of Health last year are being
re-inspected to determine whether
the water continues to be free from
pollution and if the sanitary regula-
tions are being lived up to.
10 Inspect Canneries
The next important step which En-
gineer Beckett will enter upon and
one that has never been attempted in
Delaware before, is an inspection of
the so canneries in the state, to see
whether the drinking water and san
itary arrangements are satisfactory.
There is sufficient law on the stat
ute books to see that conditions are
fit, but there never has been a de-
termined effort to carry the statutes
out.
One of the reasons for this exam
ination, is the fact that the vital sta
tistics of the state last year showed
that there was a large percentage of
the deaths from typhoid fever traced
directly to cannery sections, where
the water or sanitary conditions
were not up to standard. Babies of
cannery workers are known to have
become infected from the lackadais-
ical arrangements followed and for
which there appears no excuse, other
than that it always has been so.
There have been many cases of
enteritis in infants and in adults
traced to the cannery settlements
and it is in the hope of trying to
eradicate the origin and thus pro-
| tect the state from ills when the dis
eases are carried out by cannery
workers, that this effort is to be
made.
To Try Moral SuaSiOn
There will be no arbitrary often
sive in the matter. The cannery Op-
orators will be called together for
conference before the inspection is
completed and again after the re-
suits have been obtained. This will
be done to acquaint them with the
purpose of the inspection.
If there are fragrant cases where
the water is polluted and where the
sanitary arrangements are such as
to be a menace, the cannery propri-
etors will be notified of these facts
and asked to remedy them.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
TEACHING!

Mass teaching-ffty and seventy
five pupils to a class-has meen for
ced on the schools by the unwilling
ness of the public to pay for enough
teachers and enough schools for
more individual teaching. It is bad
for the pupil and killing to the truly
creative teacher.
Lack of sufficient funds has also
produced the strict supervision of
which so many writers in the con-
test complained. Better salaries
would attract more able teachers
and make so much supervision un-
necessary-if, indeed, it is necessary
now.
Lack of sufficient funds to hire
clerical help has weighed the teach
er down with extra duties, of which
there were many complaints. The
able business executive, the doctor,
the lawyer, are all considered far
too valuable to let them waste their
time and strength on bookkeeping
they are surrounded by a corps OF
less highly trained helpers. But the
IGdCuGls
training required of her, is swamped
under petty details until she can not
but lose the larger vision of her
work.
Next to complaints of mass tea
ching" and "the system" teachers
complained of the attitude of the
community toward the teacher and
her profession. One letter expressed
in these words an extreme attitude
vet one that is often met in small
towns:
Whereas there are no longer old
maids or spinsters, now the finger OF
derision, the unkind joke, the cruel
sympathy has shifted to the school
teacher. Cartoons, comics, take-offs--
she does her work amid this univer-
sal friendly malice. Even now the
town is shocked if she lipsticks and
rouges-agog with gossip if she
dates-doubtful about her bobbed
hair and abbreviated skirts-uneasy
i if she buys a Ford-furiOus If she
dances-demanding of her an impec-
cable eXample-an ineXhaustible yea
! for church work-endless quantities
of moral influence and community
uplift-and lifetime of disinterested
, devotion to her profession.
"She is no longer the free one oi
the community, but the one mos
hedged in and bound. Prom The

Delawares standing in regard to
its water supply, sewage, and milk
distribution compares favorably with
the standing of any other state in the
Union, according to r. c. Beckett,
state sanitary engineer, who has re-
turned after attending the annual
conference of State Sanitary Engl-
neers from thirty states held at Buff
falo. To most of these states the wa
ter and sewage disposal are items OF
the greatest importance but aside
from the city of Wilmington the wa
ter and sewage of Delaware, because
of the rural population, does not pre-
sent the problems which other Com
monwealths have to wrestle with.
In quality of milk and its freedom
from filth and bacteria, Engineer
Beckett was able to report condl-
tions in Delaware that are constant
" improving. Nine of the states have
adopted the United States Public
Health regulations which provide for
a rating for dairies, but which is not
absolutely essential in Delaware, If
the dairies continue to make the pro-
gress they have been making in con-
forming to sanitary regulations, IN
the past two years.
In the discussion of water and sew
age, the topic of how to handle the
garage and public service stations
along the highways came up. In
this, Delaware was shown to have
been the pioneer in placing triangu-
lar signs, 800 feet from a garage and
service station, where the water was
fit and the sewage properly disposed
of.
So pleased have the health officials
of other states been with this device
adopted by Delaware and which
signs have been placed near service
stations that have complied with the
state requiremnts, through the cour-
tesy of the State Highway Depart
ment, that many of them are follow
ing suit. They are having similar
signs erected assuring the motoring
public that just 300 feet ahead, is fit
drinking water and sanitary arrange
ments that meet health require
ments. At this time the service sta
tions which were o. KID by the State

INVESTIGATING PRIMARIES

The biennial primaries are bring
ing the usual crop of stories of the
lavish expenditure of money by can
didates in the various states, and
there is now on another senatorial
investigation in which doubtless
some politics will be played and the
entire primary system will get an
other good airing.
In the meantime, the sentiment
is said to be growing at Washington
that the primary scheme ought to be
abolished, as a useless and expensive
bit of machinery whose principal
positive accomplishment has been
the production of factionalism and
charges of corruption.
Those who favor return to the
old representative convention sys-
TEN say that the primary has not
as a general thing brought better
men to office, but, on the other hand
has discouraged many able men
from running. In it's direct appeal
to the people and the opportunity in
many states for the success of min
ority candidates, it has encouraged
demagoguery and the Snowman
type of politician, who counts on get
ting by in the primary by the spec
tacular, rather than through any
merit or ability to hold the office to
which he aspires.
That this sentiment for abolishing
or modifying the primary is not con-
fined to Washington, but is spread
ing through the states, is indicated
by the example of Indiana, where
the Republican and Democratic state
conventions both hace gone on rec
ord for the abolishment of the state
wide primary. Delaware must do the
same; put it up to the legislature
anyway.

ANTIQUE FURNITURE
DISPOSED AT SALE
More Than 500 Pieces Bought Up by
Collectors OF Many States.

More than 800 pieces antique fur
niture, collected over a period OF ten
years by Mrs. Jean N. Cause, an
tioue dealer, on the Concord Pike
near Talleyville, also Wilmington,
were disposed of at her home last
week and the Wilmington Sunday
Star had the following report in its
issue of last Sunday:
The sale, the largest of its kind

collectors in Pennsylvania, Massa-
obusetts. New York, New Jersey and
MARYLAND. Visitors and purchasers
were present for each of these states.
There was also a representative
gathering from Wilmington envlrons.

for only three days, but due to the
large quantity of merchandise TOOK
four days. Mrs. Cause, who is the
widow of Beverly R. Cause, is leay-
ing the state and is going out OF BUS
mess. In the lot of antiques were in
cluded a number of personal pieces

Probably the most unique piece
sold. according to Mr.. Hamilton, was
a one-piece applewood grain shovel
which was sold for $11 to John L
McCallister, of Wilmington. 1t is
said that there is but one other spec
linen of it's kind in this country, anc
II is in the private antique COLLECTION

MICHIGAN LEADERSHIP

In Michigan the State Grange is
taking an active part in organizing
the various farm associations of the
state into a project whereby the far
mers themselves propose to build up
the machinery for taking care of
seasonal surpluses and shortages in
farm production in an orderly way,
to prevent the chaos of agricultural
production which is being suffered in
so many states. All this will be a
move wholly among the farmers
themselves, with no thought of state
or government assistance, and the
plan is to be worked out in business
like fashion through orderly produc-
ton and marketing methods, control
of acreage, etc. The master Of the
Michigan State Grange, A. B. Cook
is one of the leading farmers Of the
state and especially prominent in the
production of sugar beets, and the
present movement among Michigan
farmers is largely traceable to Mr.
Cooks energy and initiative.
