Mitchell, President of Delaware College,made an address to an audience which despite the rainy weather was a j very sizable one. I The meeting was a public one, and I held under the auspices of the New Century Club whose President, Miss Eliza Green made a charmingly fitting I introduction to the very fine discourse I which followed. Mistakenly believing I the speaker to be a Virginian she vivaci-1 ously told the story of the father who «hided his son for asking eve-ybody | ■where they were from, since if they I were Virginia, they would tell you, and J if they were not, it mattered not | whence they came. The Doctor being a Mississippian was forced to deny the delightful impeach -1 ment, but added that he had taken root . . m the Old Domiman being a graduate of the University of Virginia, and hoped that now he might have the I pleasing honor of being styled a Delà warean. He paid a number of warm compli ments to Middletown, its people and the youth it is aendidg to the College — the largest proportion of any town in the State. He spoke eulogistically of William Cann as a major in the college troop, and the leader in the student ath letics, and told with glowing praise how Alexander Berkman was paying his own way through the college, working at night in the telephone exchange, and " studying by day, winning, too, a high standing in his class. Dr. Mitchell's subject was "The Soul of the Community,". He likened the roads, streets, buildings, telephone etc. to the body, and the churches, schools, newspapers, banks etc., to its senses j through which that soul found an ex pression. Tested by his dictim that a communi ty is known by its good roads, Middle- P town and vicinage he declared were models, "Good roads benefit the com-1 , Another community senseis its ™ schools—a yet higher test. As illustra ting the far-reaching benefits which followed even the humblest planting of h f the seed of knowledge, he told the story of the founding at Hampton, Va.. of a way back in 1636—only sixteen years s ^ .' t after the landing of the Pilgrims—of | P what later became a notable institu- I tion of learning, known as the Simms Eaton School. Its trivial fund of 200 c ° âcres of land and eight milch cows the given by Simn™, and a little more land and a few mofe kine bestowed there- I P after by Eaton (Virginia acres were for plentiful h* those days, literally "dirt ir î cheap," and cows were not dear) his now amounts to $10,000 and has more over survived all the vicissitudes of a Miter civil war raging around it! As further showing how one great te acher soul can mould <he thought of posterity and affect the destiny of a nation.he described how George Wythe, one of yirginia's signers, at one time taught in his school Thomas Jefferson, John Marshal James Monroe and xienry Olay, I he Dicerest college in America, every one of whom delighted to trace the inspiration of his life to that particular teacher. Wythe ham to e atit , ^eht r toset 8 ^?df a'la^Jh ® 3 w SïÂÿV toe Constftutionand W ' later as Chancellor of Virginia in 1783, ™ in Cato vs. Commonwealth, announced J *pcnt 8 titutional° law & whic^ Jartoall'" after wards as Chief Justice embodied in the epochal decision of Marbury vs. Madi ' ^The speaker also discussed Churches MrS and Libraries as useful expressions of the Community-soul whose missions were iofty and blessed, telling how the chance glance into a cyclopedia turned the young book-binder, ichael Fara- I tbe day into one of the world's greatest | week. scientists whose discoveries and mven tions in electro-magnetism have révolu- j Mr tionized science and manufactures. Square, . T? e Doctor also spoke of how reading Maine in his youth a broken set of ' 'Knight's Half Hours With Best Authors," had permanently influenced his style and work. We regret a want of space forbids a fuller reference to this most admirable discourse, so rép été with interest and mstruc ion-witty and wise both. As a physician remarked to the writer, it should have been delivered in the Town Hall to an auditory which would have filled it. » The community are debtors to toe ladies of the New Century Club for giving the citizens a chance to bear their distinguished new college President, whose erudition and enthusiasm cannot but make him hi munity ( intellectually and morally for they are the highways of ideas as well as vehicles." 1 cousin Mr. several Mrs. Mrs. Padley guests youth of our state Îortunato^noughîo be brought in contact with his infectious Ub personality. . - - ments, Miss Frances Watkins, of Odessa, held the audience with her mnzical lections. se _ Little Ramona Newman, dressed in Sale toe garb of a Fed Cross nurse, sold by .Red Cross stamps to the audience. one After the lecture, the Executive Board of the Club was/invited to the home of Dr. Norman L.

CENTURY CLUB'S NEW HOME The New Century C!ub has wisely concluded that a flitting is better than a funeral, and hence are holding their meetings in the *St. Anne's Parish House. We will not suggest that it requires a house to fall on some of them to wake 'em up, but Middletown's business men and citizens of ample means have ap parently been slow to appreciate the superb work of the New Century Club, since though the ladies have so energeti cally bestirred themselves as to accumu late the neat Httle nest egg of about $ 2,000 towards their building fund, we fear that they have had little help from outsiders ! The New Century Club, by a long succession of good works, private and public, have superbly vindicated their right to add "A local habitation" to the "name" they have already made. As one of them says, "Now is the psychological moment X" ., ,.True, and Middletown owes it tq its own reputa tion as a Jive town to put its shoulder without further delay to the wheel of this public-spirited enterprise.
