that Milford will be centre OF sttrsc
tion to the country around about for
many miles. or course the races at

of the South, will bring many to see q
man who has climbed into pu0lic notice
Of the world as the very foremost Of his
race. To this have been added several

INSTALL A COMMERCIAL COURSE.

In nearly all the leading public
schools Of Delaware there is a desire to
establish a business course, and we wish
that we could say that Milford was in
the forefront OF this procession. AT a
meeting Of the Board Of Education Of
New Castle last week the new principal,
Reuben Freidal, made q statement to
the effect that there should be added
studies leading to a business course.
He believes that stenogrsphy and type
writing should be taught in the third
and fourth years. This course was rec
commended by Mr.. Friedel, as several
high schools have adopted it, 1t is.
probable that the board Of education
may adopt the course.
