SCHOOL NOTES.

Our people should not forget to secure
tickets and seats at once for the series
of entertainments under the auspices
of the High School for several reasons.
First Everyone of the five programs
is "star" attraction.
Second They are offered by the school
as a contribution to the cOmmunity's
pleasure and therefore deserve the sup
port of all friends.
Third-The cost is trifiing, averaging
thirty cents an evening. Harrington
offers but four evenings in its course.
two Of their evenings the same as ours,
and the other two different less eXpen-
sive also, than our other programs and
their course ticket is the same as ours
S150. Our pupils ticket for five even
ings is rs cents. Theirs for four 500.
We feel that we have done as well as
we could in this regard.
Fourth-The course ticket before next
Tuesday night, when the first entertain
ment comes with Brush the famous
worker in magic on the stage, will be
81 80 1t will also be Sl.50 after the
first night for the remaining four even
ings. Soitis surely economy and wisdom
to get the entire course. If you can t
use your ticket some night some neigh
Dor would enjoy it.
Fifth Choice of seats is now going
on at the store of c. d. Abbott & Co.,
tickets are in the hands of many of the
High School pupils, besides a few at
the allowed named store.
The teachers are having a profitable
week in the Institute at Dover, the
program offered proving both interest
ing and helpful in many ways. If Dr.
Wagner's admOnition at the outset to
"have a good time. get all you can, and
take it home and use it, is adopted by
the teaching force of the state, about
500 teachers all told, the educational
work of Little Delaware" will receive
an impetus from this week that will far
more than compensate for the closing
of the schools for five days. Much that
is said should be heard by parents
I have in mind particularly a most i'm
/ pressive showing on Tuesday by lecture

work done by Superintendent Rapp,

substantial old British. as it has already
with those worthy Pennsylvania Dutch,
when we shall appreciate the imperative
demand for wholesome surroundings in
the hours spent in school by our children.
Milford has done well, but we need to
see that we are hardly keeping abreast
our neighbors. and these not alone outside
/ the state. Will not something convince
US that the best possible investment we
can make for our children is to give
them the best education we can This
today always spells the use of money
for the best equipment and the best
/ teachers possible to secure.
The arrangement of the forenoon ses-
sions of the Institute in sections -Pri-
mary, Grammer, Rural and High School
makes it impossible for one to get more
| than a fraction of the whole Institute,
but this is unquestionably the better way.
The rumor has been heard that an
effort was on foot to bring the Institute
here next year. Surely it would have
cordial welcome from hospitable Mil
