der eighteen years of age in any of
the 5000 subordinate oranges scat
tered throughout the United States
will be eligible to enter the contest,
126 state and national prizes being
offered for the best papers.
Pointing to the many notable con-
tributions which the National
Grange, during the So years of it's
existence, has made to the welfare
of the nation and of the farming fra
ternity which it represents, Mr.. Ia
Der declared that the organization
sis pleased to announce this compe-
tition among it's younger members,
designed to impress upon them, their
parents and friends alike, the ne
cessity for care and caution upon

RIVERVIEW BEACH OPENS
SATURDAY, MAY 18TH

Delaware folks are indeed FORUM
ate in having such an attractive and
we'll conducted park so easily &C
cessible at Pennsville, N. ]. A large
force of workmen have been busily
engaged all winter and spring and
the park fairly glistens with fresh
paint, new walks and additional
shrubbery.
One of the many new and inter-
esting features to be found this
year is what Manager Acton be-
lieves to be the largest "rockery''
ever built for a private or public
pleasure park. Running streams,
bubbling fountains, miniature water
falls, lakes teeming with fish, rare
and unusual plants and flowers are
all combined in this beautiful and
unusual work of art.
This unique feature alone will be
well worth trip but you will find
many changes and improvements
that will help keep Riverview
Beach in the front ranks of the
pleasure parks of the country.
We are informed that the fire.
work display will be in the same
competent hands as former years
and will be given every Friday
night as usual. This display is I'M
doubtedly appreciated as evidenced
by the thousands of people who are
in attendance regularly every week.
There are two big, new rides at
Riverview this year-the Wild Cat,
IL I'll. l. l.
suit anyone, and the Funny Pretzel,
which will make you just about
split your sides laughing.

RATS A COMMUNITY PROBLEM

Definite Roadway in rat control
requires not the mere killing off OF
rats as they are encountered in
markets, poultry yards, homes, or
wherever they abound, but more es-
pecially the removal of those condi-
tions that are responsible for the
rats, according to the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Rats require food and shelter, and
where these are lacking they can
not persist. Modern building con-
struction and sanitation, as practiced
in our more progressive cities, de-
prive rats of suitable living and
breeding places, and shut off their
usual food supply. Rat-proofing
clauses in local building ordinances
and more strict regulations in To-
cal sanitary codes, including the
proper collection and disposal of
garbage and the prevention of trash
and waste accumulations on private
premises, will do more to bring
about permanent reduction in the
number of rats than any other
measure.
Rat proofing of new buildings is
entirely practicable and should be
required in all cases. 1t would not
be practicable, however, to require
rat proofing of many of older build
ings. AS long as this is true and
as long as rats are able to obtain
food supply, it will be necessary
to destroy them. But no real pro-
gress in rat control is possible when
the destruction of these pests is left
to the individual, for reinfestation
from surrounding infested premises
is continuous. Arrangements for
thoroughly treating larger areas
are essential to successful results.
A number of cities working in CO.
operation with and under the lead
ership of the Biological Survey are
now carrying on systematic and
scientific rat control with excellent
results. This bureau will be glad to
assist in planning and in some cases
in carrying out cooperative rat
control projects. The problem of
rat control is one of the community,
even of the county, the State and
the Nation. 1t is recognized as an
important world problem, for not
only do rats destroy millions of dol
lars worth of valuable foods and
property, but they carry filth-borne
diseases wherever they go.
In handling their women folk all
men appear equally talented and
equally stupid.

u. S. GOVERNMENT IS
INTERESTED IN SCHOOLS


tional Educational Association
should be read by everybody, and
serious thought be given to facts as
to the duty the public owes to pub
lie school education. 1t was re-
ceived last week, and follows:
Theo. Townsend, Editor
The Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Mr.. Townsend:
I'VE have been instructed by Mr..
Uel w. Lamkin, president of the
National Education Association, to
call your attention to the data in
the hands of your local school au-
thorities on the schools, their ach-
ievements, needs and costs. He is
also calling the attention of super
intendents to the Importance OF
helping to make this material avail
able to the press. He recognizes
the tremendous educational service
rendered year after year by the
newspapers of the United States and
what this means to education and to
citizenship.
Neither the school nor the press
can overestimate the value of the
cordial relationship which exists
between these two agencies in
nearly every locality in the nation.
In a democracy such as ours, the
success of the schools must always
depend on public opinion. The
greatest service of the teacher is to
make the points of contact between
the work of the school and the life,
work, and needs of the home and
community. An equally great SER
vice of the press is to interpret the
work of the schools to the public.
Where both do their part well, there
YOU will find a healthful school SEN
timent, teachers appreciative OF the
people and the people taking honest
pride in the schools.
The hearthstone of the home has
almost entirely disappeared. the
children are at the movies, in the
marks. in the automobile and en-
gagged in other outside social act1vl-
ties more of the waking hours than
in the home itself. This places a
much heavier responsibility on the
schools for character training than
ever before. The safety of ciVlllza-
ton demands that the schools and
other cooperative agencies meet
this responsibility. By far the
most important of all phases OF
education is character education
because it affects the child's entire
future both in his personal rela-
tions and as a citizen. No other IN
fuence can take the place of the
home but other agencies can, IN
part at least, make up the loss
which world of new conditions
has brought upon us.
We are inclosing a statement by
Glenn Frank which sets forth the
relationship between the schools
and the press, and an editorial
from the Washington Evening star
which shows how facts in the hands
of your superintendent may be pre-
scented to the public. These are IN
closed for your information.
Very sincerely yours,
