Just what is meant by this word
"hell?"
They say sometimes, ITS cold as
hell"
Sometimes they say, ITS hot as
hell"
When it rains Its hell" they cry,
It's also hell" when it's dry.
They hate like hell' to see it snow,
It's hell of a wind" when it
starts to blow.
Now "how in hell" can anyone tell
"What i'm hell" they mean by this
word "hell"?
This married life is "helP' they say
When he comes in late, there's "hell
to pay"
When he starts to yell, it's a "hell
of a note"
It's "hell" when the kid you have to
tote.
It's "hell" when the doctor sends his
bills
For "hell of lot" of trips and pills.
When you get this you know real
well
just WHAT Is hnSdHI ny bhlo Woiu
hell"
Hell, yes" "hell, no." and "Oh hell"
too,
"'The hell you don't" and "the hell
you do"
And "what in hell" and "the hell il
is,"
"The hell with yours" and "thc hell
with his.
Now "who in hell" and "Oh, hell
where?"
md what the hell do you think
care?"
But "the hell of it is" "it's sure as
hell"
We don't know "what in hell" is
"hell."

PROFESSIONAL 1893

President Hoover said last fall he
thought a good poem was what the
nation needed. Now Bishop William
r. Manning has discovered a poem
he thinks will strike exactly that
note which we now need to hear in
the hearts of our people all over
the country" This poem which the
Bishop read to his congregation
from the pulpit of the CathTedal of
St. John the Divine in New York as
his New Years message is the work
of Leigh Mitchell Hodges and entit-
led Professional 1888" 1t follows:
Lord of the light unfading
From day to reborn day;
God of the worlds brOcading
This planets nightly way;
Master of hope, and builder
OF life's immortal span
Now, when the days bewilder,
Thunder again to man.
Out of the hundred nations
An which our nation stands;
The toll and tribulations
OF many times and lands,
Give us the ancient vision,
The dauntlessnesS to slay
That holds the sun at bay.
This ghost of indecisiOn
We who have weathered often
Abandonment of dreams,
Turn us from breads that soften
To daring that redeems.
Strike, from Thy holy tinder,
A spark to light the fires
Whose sweep no fear can hinder.
While man TO Thee aspires.
Wake i'm our hearts the courage
That pioneered the wild;
Spur us to swift demurrage
For promises defiled
BY selfish dreams that swallowed
With sordidness that hallowed
BY foolishness that hallOwed
A horde of phantom needs.
AS when, to Bethlehem sleeping,
The hosts of Heaven did sing
A balm for want and weeping
Let now the earthways ring Il
All valiantly the passing I
OF doubts impeding wrath;
OF bravery's new massing,

SCHOOL PAYROLL.
IS CUT $2OO,OOO.OO
BY STATE BOARD,
800 Teachers, 900 In Wilmington,
Voted 5 To 20 Per Cent Redmc-
tions; Education Body accepts
Economy Program Of Governor.

Accepting the suggestion made by
Governor c. Douglass Buck in his
message to the General Assembly,
members of the State Board of Edu-
cation have decided to cut all sal
aries in that department, the reduc-
tiOns to range from per cent to
20 per cent. This was decided at a
meeting of the board Dover Thurs
day of last week. 1t will, therefore,
be necessary for the department to
submit revised budget to the Legis-
lature embodying this reduction
which, il is estimated. will mean a
saving of between $175.000 and $780,
900 to the State.
II was further decided to submit
q supplementary budget To include
the appropriation for transportation.
The board will ask for 100000 for
this purpose for the next fiscal year
and for $325,OOO for the succeeding
fiscal year.
The board took their present Op-
Grating budget excepting transpOr-
tatiOn, and subtracted from that the
salary reductions recommended by
the Governor i'm his message and in
eOrporated in their substitute apprO-
priation bill the amount remaining.
This will mean that the salary cuts
to be made will have to be deter
mined by the several Boards of Edu-
cation in the special districts and
the school trustees in the rural dis
tricts. The reduction will affect |
school teachers in Wilmington un-
less the Board of Education in that |
city sees fit to ask for an increase |
in taxes to secure an amount neces- .
sary to sustain teachers salaries at |
their present level.

struction of road from Mt. Pleas

rel-Sharptown road i'm Sussex cOun-

four miles long; two for the i'm
provement of roads from Jacobs

regret any decision to cut the sala-
ries of our school teachers" he said.
"They are not overpaid and the pub
lie schools seem to me to be poor
place to begin the practice of econ
Omy."
DR.. Washburn was not prepared
to say what action, if any, the Will
mingtOn Board of Education would
take relative to the matter. Any ad-
ditiOnal money necessary to make
up the difference between what
teachers now receive and what they
would be paid under the reduction
would have to be provided by City
Council II will be recalled City
Council last spring cut the city
school budget $4,000. The city
school tax rate is $1.6O per $1,000.
Any increase in this to make up the
teachers pay would have to be lev
led by City Council. Whether that
body would be willing to increase
the school tax to maintain the teach
ers' salaries at their present level
for their future decision.
II is claimed the Wilmington
teachers are paid much less than
teachers in similar grades in other
cities the same size as Wilmington.
I'm the high school the difference
amounts to $500 and 5000 in some
grades.
AS Wilmington gets about one
Ialf the State school appropriation,
he city would be affected by about
,ne-half the salary cut or about
;100,0 900 and this is the sum the city
would have to supply if the teach
RS pay was to be maintained at the
present figures.

To prevent recurrence of ex-

property such as occurred during
the hurricanes in August and Sep
tember, last, and to guard
against possible loss of life from
future storms, the Public Works

dune formations which had pro-
tected Fort Monroe from the sea.
The entire reservation was
flooded, driving many residents
from their homes, destroying
buildings, and badly damaging
wharfs, roads, railways and de-

The seawall will protect the
east side of the Fort Monroe
reservation for about $500 feet
and will be concrete, rising 13
feet above mean low water. About

LONDON, Oct. 16 UN.S0.-All
preparations were completed to-
day for a dramatic test in which
an adventurous young American
will attempt to prove that a
human being can live under
atmospheric conditions similar to
those in the Stratosphere.
He is Mark E. Ridge, 23-year-old
citizen of the United States, who
Is determined to prove he can
ascend into the Stratosphere in
an open basket attached to a
balloon.
Wins Haldane's Support
Although refused aid by the

Ridge, who recently arrived here,
has gained the support OF j. S.
Haldane, famous British scientist.
On Wednesday, under direction
Of Sir Robert Davis, British

A special alright suit has been
made for Ridge which, he hopes,
will enable him to survive in a
decomposition chamber in which
the atmosphere will simulate
that found nearly 20 miles above
the earth.
Savants to Watch Test
Haldane is supervising all
arrangements for the test, after
which, if it is successful, Ridge
will return to America to prepare
for the proposed balloon ascent.
A group Of scientists will watch
the test, including respiratory ex-
