fort of the teachers is to praise
rather than to belittle.
Psychologists and persons inter-
ested in child behavior are in
tensely interested in Mrs. Rashkis
successful methods. $500 boys have
gone through the process and she
has never given up any case as
hopeless. A few of her rules are
equally applicable to home treat
ment as well as school.
"Never threaten a child"
"Never punish him, except by
simple, naturally retribution. If he
has destroyed something he must
replace it, but that's his personal
misfortune for which nobody scolds
him."
"Never correct child for any,
thing without praising him in the
same breath for something he has
done WE'LL"
"Never demand anything of
child; ask him, as favor, to do
something for you and he will have
the great pleasure of feeling that
it is voluntary gift. Be sure to
thank him."
"Trust a child, regardless of his
past history; take it for granted
that his past mistakes are a fin
ished chapter"
Reward constructive actions
lavishly, and the attraction Of de-
structive conduct will gradually
disappear"

300 STATE MEN
LEAVE ARMY
Most Men Discharged Have
Dependents OF Are Older
Men Enlisted for l Year
SEE NO JOB PROBLEM

More than 800 men of Delaware's
198th Anti-Aircraft egiment, prac-
tically all of them residents of Del
aware, are being discharged upon
the completion of one-year enlist
ments. Fifty-six were discharged
last week and about $50 more will
be discharged by the middle of Oc-
tober. Most of the men discharged
either have dependents or are older
men. Many are non-commission-
ed officers with technical ratings.
The strength of the regiment will
be reduced by these discharges
from ,848 men to about 1850. The
vacancies will be filled by new Sc
lectees and enlistments. Up until
October 16 last year, the army ac-
cepted enlistments for one years
service in the army of the United
States. Gen. William Berl, Jr., di-
rector of the Selelctive Service Sys-
tenn for Delaware, under whose di-
rection the men released will be as
sisted in securing employment said
he does not anticipates any serious
difficulty in this matter. The men
will report to their local board, or
if they are volunteers, as is the
case of most of those being releas-
ed, they will report to the local
board by which they would have
been registered if they had been at
home. If they do not secure en-
ployment promptly then an effort
will be made to place them through
the Delaware Employment Service.
General Berl said he had conferred
with several employers of men who
had been inducted into the federal
service with the 198th and was in
formed that all stood ready to re-
employ the men when they are re-
leased.

fence is intended to further de-
velop friendly cooperation among
Federal, State, and local law en-
forcement agencies in all phases of
National Defense, law enforcement,
crime prevention, and related ac-
tivities. Mr.. Soucy stated that this
conference is similar to those being
held under the auspices of the FBI
throughout the entire United Stat
es each quarter. In the closed ses-
sion of the meeting after Governor
Bacon's address, Mr.. Soucy will
discuss the latest developments of
the FBI Mobilization Plan. The
police officials will then participate
in an open forum discussion at
which time new ideas will be ex-
changed and any problems will be
discussed. Officials of all regular
ly constituted law enforcement
agencies in the State of Delaware
and members of their departments

ANNIVERSARY OF CHURCH
Carratt's Chapel, "Cradle of Meth
odism" Held Services Sunday

A call for people to return to the
"old-fashioned religion" was sound
ed Sunday at the 161st anniversary
service at Barratt's Chapel, near
Frederick, the Cradle of Method
ism" in this country. The Rev. J..
Lea Green, pastor of the Salisbury,
Md, Methodist Church, told sever
al hundred persons gathered in the
grove in front of the church that in
the present turbulent times people
could gain much comfort in eight
ing for Christianity" Speaking on
"The Renewed Deal" Mr.. Green
stressed there could be no real So
luton to world problems unless
there was strict adherence to the
basic principles laid down by Jesus
Christ. The call to worship was
issued by the Rev. w. l.. Beckwith,
Magnolia minister, who conducts
services at the historic chapel twice
a month. The Rev. William Hud-
son, student minister, read the
Scripture lesson; the Rev. Harry
H. Conner gave the prayer and the
Rev. James Lord gave the benedic-
tion. The Rev. Benjamin c. War
ren, retired minister of Rehoboth
Beach, who preached his first ser
mon in the chapel 81 years ago, US
ually participates in the anniver-
sary services but illness prevented
him from attending. The Rev. R.
E. Green, Harrington, led the sing
ing and Miss Margaret B. Hart
was organist. The musical program
included selections by quartet
from Sudlersville, Md, and a cor
net solo by Prof. R. w. MacFadden.
DR.. j. B. Grier of Frederick was
chairman of arrangements. Pre-
ceding the service the visitors in
spected the interior of the chapel
where Bishop Thomas Coke, repre-
sentative of the Rev. John Wesley,
conferred with Bishop Francis AS
bury in 1884 and laid the ground
work for the organization of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in
America. Land for the building
was donated by Phillip Barratt.

Rashkis who, for twenty-five years,
has made a career of befriending
the worst-behaved boys she could
find. Gretta Palmer, in the October
issue of Cosmopolitan, tells how
Mrs. Rashkis works her miracles.
In New York City there is
building off Park Avenue with the
official name of P. S. 81. To thou
sands, however, it is known as OPP
portunity School. To Opportunity
School are sent the boys who have
forced the authorities in their own
schools to give them up as a bad
job. They remain with Mrs. RASH
kis, who is in charge of Opportun-
ity School for two months or more;
then return to their regular schools.
Mrs. Rashkis' first rule is that
any child, given a chance, would
rather behave than not. "a bad
boy" says she, "is a discouraged
boy. Make him happy and self-con-
fident and he will soon behave"
Infractions of the rules are not
ignored but they are handled tact
fully. Each offence is studied care
fully by the teachers and every
effort is made to get at the seat
of the trouble by determining why
the rule was broken. In some cases,
a smaller, weaker boy will steal
money to treat the others and thus
rut himself on an equal basis with
tnai N other cases, romantic

Fuses Not Needed

A low-cost circuit breaker is now
available for residential use. There
are no parts to replace after an
overload or short circuit. Simply
move the lever to restore the cur
rent. The breal:er is trip free,
which means that it cannot be held
closed on a short circuit or over
load. The position of the strong
bakelite handle clearly indicates
whether the breaker is 'on," OF
or 'tripped." 1t is absolutely safe
as no live parts are exposed even
when resetting the breaker after it
has tripped.

"Unreality." Golden Text: 1 John
q: 16, II. All that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the
world. And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God abideth
forever. "A bible citation from the
lesson-sermon: Psalms 81: 10 and
IL and 16: IL. Create in me clean
heart, o God; and renew a right
spirit within me. IL. Restore unto
me the joy of thy salvation; and
uphold me with thy free spirit. 16:
IL. Thou wilt show me the path of
life: in thy presence is fulness of
joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore. Correlative
from the Textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: Soul has in
finite resources with which to bless
mankind, and happiness would be
more readily attained and would be
more secure in our keeping, if
sought in Soul. Higher enjoyments
alone can satisfy the cravings of
immortal man. We cannot circum-
scribe happiness within the limits
of personal sense. The senses con-
lfer no real enjoyment.

Fodder saving has been tug
