Mrs. W. E. B., Arlington
Some weeks ago a mother
asked for opinions on send
ing a child to kindergarten
versus keeping him at home.
May I express my opinion as
a mother who has sent three
children to kindergarten and
never regretted it? A first
grader has so many adjust
ments to make in addition
to learning the IS RS" that
I believe some adjustment
before entering first grade is
highly desirable. The mere
fact that he is expected to
be dressed and at school
every day tunless he is III,

of his own inclination to stay

wants to do. lays a founda-

GOLD COINS ON DISPLAY
Display of Gold Coins in Lobby Of
Farmers Bank at Dover

What is believed to be one Of
the first private travelling displays
of United States gold coins has
just been placed on. display in the
lobby of the Farmers Bank of the
State of Delaware in Dover. Gold
coins were ordered withdrawn
from circulation by executive or
der of the President of the United
States in March, 1888. Thus there
is a whole generation of United
States citizens who have never
seen the gold coins of their coun-
try and to whom this exhibit will
be of prime interest. This exhibit
is made up of coins taken from
the private collection of The First
National City Bank of New York.
The Act of April 2, 1892 estab-
lished a mint, and authorized,
among others, the following coins:
Gold-eagles leach of the value of.
ten units or dollars), half-eagles
and quarter-eagles; silver-dollars.
half-dollars, quarter-dollars, dimes
and half dimes. This was the first
attempt of any nation to adopt
by law a bimetallic standard with
free and unlimited coinage of both
metals, each having full power as
legal tender. Coinage of silver, was
begun in 1874, and of gold in
1895. One of the small gold eagles
of 1795, the first issue of gold
coins bearing the name of United
States of America, is included in
the National City display, and all

SILVER DOLLARS EXHIBIT
Rejecting Historical Events of
I73 Countries During Centuries

173 Countries During Centuries
A unique collection of silver
dollars dating from 1886, and re-
flecting historically mpor t a n t
events of 173 countries during the
past five centuries, is on display
in the lobby of the Farmers Bank
of the State of Delaware, Dover.
This collection of 1856 coins is
owned by The First National City
Bank of New York, and is being
placed on public exhibition for
educational purposes. School child
rem are especially urged to view
the collection. AS part of the ed
ucational feature, the Importance
of compound interest savings is
shown. If these coins, worth about
1886 when made, could have been
placed in a bank drawing COM
pound interest at the time they
were minted, they would have to-
day a value to their owners of
billions upon billions of dollars.
First Dollars
In Tyrol, under the reign of
King Macmillan 1, in 1896, the
first dollar was struck. This dol
lar is among the valuable collec-
ton. Others listed include: early
Spanish pieces, famous Venician
crowns, Naples coins, Argentinian
reals, Chinese Fun-Tiens, Cyprus
piastres, Ecuador sucres, French
francs, German thalors, Guate-
malan reals, Hayti gourdes, Itali-
an luccas, Russian rubles, and
West Indian reals. Six American
dollars are displayed. The first
dollar minted in the new Philadel-
phia building established in 1892
has the Goddess of Liberty head
with cowing hair tied back in
what was then known as the
"fillet head" The Dollar of our
Daddies, dated 1859, was name
applied to the silver dollar during
the agitation for free silver coin
age. The "peace dollar" ISSUED
in 1921, to commemorate the
Arms parley then in progress, is
also among the 1886 coins.

Brilliant Beaded Designs and

Quaint Sewing Accessories
Brilliant beaded designs, lacy
crochet-work and quaint sewing
accessories are now being featur-
ed in a small exhibit at the
Zwaanendael Museum at Lewes.
These recall the days of sewing
circles and quilting bees, which
were the popular pastime for the
bellies of the 10th century, espec-
iaHy during the long winter ev-
enings. From the intricate design
effects, one can well imagine the
pride they must have enjoyed in
the accomplishment of such ex-
quisite work.
Outstanding is the beautiful old
lambrequin with floral design in
white, brown and gold beads on
a brilliant gros red point back
ground with a shaded bead fringe.
1t was lent by Miss Linda M.

presented by Misses Mary and
Emily Spruance (deceased) OF
