INSTITUTE PROGRAM.

The day program of the Sussex County
Teachers institute, to be held at Lewes,
November 25, 26, 27. promises to be
above the usual standard Many of the
older teachers will be pleased to learn
that the Hon. Henry HOuck, of Harris
burg, Pa, will be present during the en-
tire session. 1t is not necessary to make
any comment on DR.. Houck. The sim
pie announcement that he is to be one
of the speakers is sufficient. DR.. HOuck
was one of the speakers at the first Sus-
sSx County Teachers Institute to be
held under the present plan.
DR.. |. A. DOwney, formerly Inspector
of High Schools for the State of Nebras-
ka, is to be one of the speakers. DR..
Downey has had a wide experience in
educational work and his presence will
add much to the success of this Institute
Prof. Samuel L. Chew, Assistant Su-
perintendent of the Philadelphia Public
Schools will be present two days of the
session. Prof. Chew has a message to
all those who are interested in educa-
ton. He is an enthusiastic speaker,
and never fails to hold the attention of
his audience.
During the last few years, the atten-
ton of our leading educators has been
directed to the training of backward
children. Delaware has so far failed to
keep pace with this important move
ment. Miss Mcguire, of the Wharton
School, Philadelphia, will deliver a series
of talks on this subject She will show
what has been done in this line at the
Wharton School, and give some hints as
to what we can do in our public schools
toward educating a relatively large
class of pupils who have never been
reached by our present methods.

SICK FROM EATING CHICKENS

Many persons who attended the public
sale of Louis Knots, on the Benjamin
Hudson Farm, just west of Milford, on
Wednesday of last week, were made
sick by eating chicken. On Tuesday
Mrs. Knots, in anticipation of a large
crowd, killed several chickens to be used
on Wednesday. The fowl were cleaned
and put away in the pantry of the Knots
home, the family all coming to Milford
that evening. On Wednesday the chick
ems were cooked and large number of
the crowd present at the sale ate them.
That evening several of those who had
eaten the chickens were taken sick and
suffered very much. Mr.. Knots thinks
that some person entered the pantry on
Tuesday evening, during the absence of
the family and put something in the
chicken. In all, twenty-three persons
were made i'll as result of eating the
fowl

COAL IS VERY SCARCE.

The coal dealers in Milford are ex-
periencing much trouble in getting coal
in small sizes. They state that it is al
most impossible to get pea, stove, or
small heater coal within the next two
months. One dealer in particular has
tried to get thirty carloads of this coal
for his yards, but was told that the ear
liest shipment that the coal companies
would guarantee him was two months
hence. The Milford dealers are receiv-
ing the larger sizes regularly, but the
consumers here use the smaller coal and
as a result many of those who can get
it are commencing to burn wood. Wood
in Milford costs more than coal in pro-
portion to the amount of heat received
from the same amount of money ex-
pended.

MAY Be WITHOUT A PLAYHOUSE.

It is understood that when the present
license to Armory Hall expires the man
agement will not have the place relic
enced. They claim that since they are
compelled to pay Sl00 annually for the
privilege of keeping this place open for
public entertainment, the transaction
does not save the company any profit
worth mentioning, certainly inadequate
in view of the trouble involved. This
will leave Milford without hall for
public entertainment, for if the man
agement of Armory Hall cannot afford
to have that place licensed, it would
hardly pay an individual to build a suit
able place for public entertainment and
then have it licensed. The Century Club
Room is used considerably for entertain
ments, but the club would be liable for
the S1O0 license fee if they continued TO
rent the place for profit.

COMPULSORY SCHOOL PERIOD.

School patrons should take notice that
the compulsory school period begins on
Monday, November 4th. After that date
all pupils between the age of seven and
fourteen must attend school regularly.
The only excuses that teachers are al
lowed by the law to accept are those
based upon sickness, death in family, or
exceptionally inclement weather. ViO-
lators of the law are subject to fine, and
it should be remembered that teachers
have no option in the matter of report
ing absences. Failure to report absence
on the part of teacher becomes an Of
tense against the law.

APPLES and OTHER CROPS.

Fall and winter apples were never
more plentiful in Milford as this season.
The markets are teaming with beauti-
full specimens of apples, selling for S5
cents and 40 cents per basket Nearly
all farmers who have trees report un-
usually large crops. Celery, late cab
bage, turnips and potatoes are very
plefitiful in the markets here, as are all
other late vegetables. Many chickens
are are coming into the market and the
are that there will be plenty
of fowl for the holidays. Those who
drive through the country about Mil
ford say they have never seen so many
turkeys and guineas as there are this
season.
