The COMMERCIAL School
COURSE A GREAT SUCCESS

There is but one stumbling block in
the way Of Milford having a success.
ful commercial course in her public
schools, and that stumbling block is
the Board Of Education ss now cOnsti.
tuteG At Georgetown, with many lees
population, there has beeL establ he'd
a commercial course in book -kee ng,
commercial spelling, typewritint and
stenOgraphY, ct which nearly a. the
high school children are devUtiDg
stated periods with success but aside
from this there are about thirty students
from outside places who are paying
twenty dollars for the privilege Of TAX
ing the course some Of these are men
and women apprOximsting thirty
years Of age. From this has grown 8
department Of great value to the
schools, and especially Of value to those
who are devOting their time to study
in this course. From Milford three are
in attendance how many are there in

tunity were given them right at home
The present Board OF Education are all
nice men, but like the rest Of US, they
have Outlived their usefulness 90 direc.
tors OF educational institutions, and
have failed 20 recognize the fact. Herr
is what local paper Of GeOrg
says Of the school there:
"By February first, the school will
have enough money to buy four type.
writers At the price to schools. This
don't look like an increase in taxes, but
II we did have an increase, the other
department could be run better ard
the Board would not need to stare so
mach at an empty pOcketbOOk and
wonder how they would pay necessary
bills. The advanced class took IS words
Of shorthand dictation to the minute,
and the second section Ofthe same class
took Sc words Oh Wednesday. The
amount received for use Of typewriters
pays not only the rent of the machines,
bat also the jsnitOr. Miss Blizzard, Of
Milton, entered Tuesday. We are add
ing new pupils almost daily"

PEAS and TOMATOES.

- The canHers Of Delaware are making
co tracts with farmers to grow fruit
and vegetables for canning next sum-
mer, and last week the Tursch Packing
Company, Of Baltimore, Md, which
has large factory here in Milford, has
been making contracts with growers
for tomatoes at IS per ton delivered at
the factory in Milford. They are also
contracting ''r peas at two and one half
cents per pound for the hulled peas,
and last Saturday there was a crowd
all the afternoon at the Office Of the
agent in South Milford, signing con-
tracts. Draper & Hirsch have also been
closing contracts with the growers for
their csnnery. Daniel Hirsch is also
contracting for peas alone for his factory
in South Milford.

GRANGE NOTES.

For some months past the Milford
Grange has been interested in the edu.
cation Of the rural youth in scientific
agriculture. They have tried to com.
muniCate that interest to the County
and State Changers. They would like
10 communicate that interest also to
the representatives Of the State legisla
ture. Inasmuch as our State lie pre-.
omipeatly Al agricultural State and it's
wealth depends largely upon the suc.
cess Of it's various crops, 1t Is highly
important that the farmers boys and
girls should be tsHght-the best way to
produce thOre crops. AS very few Of
these young folks go to any other than
their district school, could not the State
be asked to help the district supply the
means for such instruction in the dis
trict school.
In Canada such instruction has been
given by having 3 special teacher
to every i've schools, giving one day
in each week to each school also by
consolidating the schools. It might be
possible to have one teacher to every
ten SCHOOLS. giving one half day to each
school. Such instruction would awaken
the interest and desire to know more
and so be lure to a higher and better
training in better school.
Will you not talk it up among your
friends, and write your representative
in our Legislature if be will not take al
interest in the matter, and do some.
thing to secure such instruction for our
boys and girls A GRANGER

MASONIC FRATERNITY
BANQUET IN MILFORD

At the last communication Of Tenn.
Pile Lodge, A. F. A. M, OF Milford. the
Grand Master and his official family
paid his first visit to the masonic fra.
ternity Of Milford, and it was a very
delightful time to more than one hun
dred masons from all parts of Delaware
and the neighbOring jurisdiction Of
Maryland. The work in the lodge room
took up the time until near ten o'clock,
and from thence the members and Wis
itOrs went to the dining room Of the
Windsor Hotel, where q banquet was
served which did credit to the resources
OF the markets OF Delaware and brought
a crown OF glory to the caterer. There
were many capable who would have
loaned their ability to make the Occa.
sion q bright spot in the memory OF all
who participated, but the lsteness Of
the hour prevented more than a half
dozen short speeches after the banquet
was over. OF these that OF the Chap
lain, Henry L. Bunstein, was enter
tanning and particularly strong in the
serious thoughts voiced as to the civic
duties Of all masODs, etc. Colonel
EnOch Moore, Of Wilmington, sang his
famous frog sODg'' with telling effect,
be speech Of the youngest mason
"a the room was out Of the ordinary and
brought rOunds Of hearty applause
Rev. Howard Townsend Quigg closed
the speech making with q beautiful de.
livery of what might be truthfully
termed "a poem Of wOTds," and there
was 9 general feeling that this pArticu-
lar banquet was Of higher and better
order than any which ever proceeded
it in Milford, among the masOns. The
visitors were the Grand Master Of Del.

Master, Enoeh Moore, Of Wilmington

ter Of Maryland, Robert GTier, Of Sails.

not in an official capacity. The Master
Of Temple Lodge was particular happy
in his position Is Toast Master, and
closed the program with q recitation of
Robert Burns poem, WHICH was dellv
cred in the form Of prophecy, coming
as ii did after the purpo-eful speeches
Of the evening. The vocal part Of the
program was well taken care Of by
Charles E. Treidler, the oldest member
Of Temple Lodge, Frank Richards,
Robert G. Hall, Charles HOlzmueller
and s. &. Evans, who are all active
workers in the crafts membership.
