Dr. MitcheU Witty And Pleasing
*
as Guest Of Century Gub
IN THE HIGH SCHOOL ROOM
On Tuesday evening iq the Assem
bly room of the High School, Dr. Sam
uel C. 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

and Libraries as useful expressions of
the Community-soul whose missions
were iofty and blessed, telling how the

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."

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.
