TO REORGAYIzE DELAWARE COLLEGE.

At the monthly meeting of the State
Board of Education held at Dover last
Friday the board passed on several i'm
pOrtant measures which are to be
presented to the next General Assembly,
one was the practical reorganization of
Delaware College.
In relation to the Delaware College
Charter it is proposed that the new
Board of Trustees shall be composed of
80 members, twenty of whom shall be
elected by the present board of trustees
ane that each county in the State shall
have at least a representation of not
less than five, necessarily giving some
of the counties more than the five mem
bers. Seven members of the new board
are to be appointed by the Governor and
the three remaining members are to in
clude, the Governor the president of the
State Board of Education and the
Worthy Master of the State Grange.
All appointments are to be confirmed
by the State Senate. Vacancies in the
board, of the twenty elected by the
board are to be filled by the new board
and the vacancies in those appointed by
the Governor will be filled by the Cover
nor
The charter also provides for the es-
tablishment of a normal school and a
summer school. The co-education fea-
ture is also provided. The system of
taxation was also included in the sub
ject discussed.
Redistricting of the school district
outside of the Incorporated towns was
also discussed, the plan being the Re-
preventative Unit or a board of five
commissioners instead of the present
method of selecting commissioners, the
commissioners to be elected by the
voters in the district as at present.
This arrangement will in no way effect
the schools in the Incorporated towns.
Provisions for the consolidation of the
rural schools were also made.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN MILFORD STORES
MILFORD Stores ARE
in HANDSOME DISPLAY

The stores of the Milford merchants,
and their show windows are now in their
customary holiday attire, and from ev-
cry source there comes complimentary
remarks concerning the exquisite taste
with which the prOprietors and their
clerks have arranged their windows and
stores. That they are attracting unus-
ual attention is evidenced by the throngs
of people that are seen lettering be-
fore the many pretty windows observ-
ing the goods and the neat and symet
erical way in which they are placed in
the windows. General Christmas trade
up to the present time, has not, how
ever, been as good as usual according
to report of the majority of the mer-
chants but with the indications of cooler
and fair weather they are looking for
ward to the next three days anticipat-
ing a heavy trade and they are getting
in readiness for the rush.

A DEMAND FOR SEALS.

The following appeal for Christmas
checks has been sent out this year by
the Delaware eAnti-TuberculOsis Society:
Hope Farm wishes you merry Christ
mas. Hope FARMS own Christmas will
be merrier this year than ever before.
The new Administration Building will
be finished, and in its Memorial Dining
Room and its pleasant Assembly Room
the patients for the first time in Hope
Farms history will have a real Christ
mas gathering.
Hope Farm will have a merrier Christ
mas this years because it has six little
children under its roof, the children of
the open air school, who will enjoy their
Christmas with toys and games. These
children are not only growing sturdy
and well, but are ahead of their grades
in their studies.
While you are preparing for your
Christmas, will you not give a thought
to Hope Farm, its Christmas and its
New Year? The new building will hold
more patients, and so more blankets,
more coal, more nurses and more pro-
visions will be necessary. The building
is not yet fully equipped, and there is
room for many gifts to be employed in
completing its usefulness. There is es-
pecially need for work shop where
convalescent patients may do light work
each day, and for little chapel where
regular worship can be held.
Hope Farm is to many human beings
a gate way back into life and health.
To others who come there too late to
recover, it is a refuge where they can
be cared for tenderly, with no danger
to their families and neighbors. There
are alaways more who want to come,
and never quite enough money to take
them all.
From the bounty of your Christmas,
and in the spirit of the happy season,
can you not spare something to help
these who sit in the shadow of death?
The way is easy. Send back this
Christmas check made out according to
directions enclosed, for any amount you
feel inspired to give, and your gift will
help to make a holiday season for Hope
Farm, and assure a better shelter for
Delaware Comsumptives.
Yours sincerely,
Anti tuberculosis Society.

NEW CENTURY CLUB.

The regular meeting of the Milford
/ New Century Club was held Monday
! December 18th. Mrs. J. l.. Pratt, presid-
! ing. The business of the meeting was
concerning arrangements for the bazaar.
After the plans were arranged a motion
was made to hold a reception on the
evening of January 18th, the reception
to begin at o'clock and each member
| to bring a gentleman. Those members
having out of town guests may invited
them to attend. The reception COM
mittee was appointed and arrange
ments made for a very enjoyable
evening. There being no furthur bust
ness the chairman of reciprocity had
charge of the meeting. The program
consisted of a luncheon and thimble
social. Every one was busy with en-
boridery, crochet or hitting. The aucti-
neer for the sale had not been selected
and a spirit of fun prevailed while try
ing to secure bids as to who should hold
the office. Finally the reporter offered
to preside in place of the president if
the president of the club, Mrs. j. Lynn
Pratt would vacate the presidents chair
and mount that of the auctineer and
conduct the sale. The offer was ac-
cepted and the president then sold the
boxes in true auctlneer style. The bids
were numerous and the auctioneer ex-
patiated so enthusiastically on the values
of the boxes that bids were offered
from all over the house and soon the en-
tire list of articles too numerous to
mention was completely exhausted and
then began the fun of finding the partner
to share the lunch. A lot of fun occurr-
ed when some of the purchasers offered
their boxes and found they had brought
the same boxes they had prepared at
home.
Miss Virginia Salevan furnished the
music during the social and added
greatly to the enjoyment of the day.
Every one who attended the meeting
was so well pleased with the program
that the chairman of reciprocity need
not hesitate to repeat her program at
any future date when she has difficulty
in securing papers from the reciprocity
bureau. Probably had the papers ar
rived the members might have received
some very valuable information on
History Art or Science, but it is quite
certain they could not have been better
entertained. Next weeks subject is
Discussion" and every member is ask
ed to try to be present and take part
in the discussion. The topic has not
been announced, but it is sure to be an
interesting one.
