vided into four departments, under
B. A. Groves as principal, with
Miss Fannie Briscoe, Miss Annie
Watson Mrs. Isaac Moore) and
Miss Sallie Lumb, assistants. Philip
Whitaker was at this time appoint
ed janitor. Mr.. Groves resigned as
principal in April 1888, and Frank
Collins acted as substitutes for the
remainder of the term. The en-
rollment at this time was 225. A. j.
Lynch became the new principal
in September 1889, and he in turn
was succeeded by Albert H. Raub,
in September 1890. The first clos
ing exercises held in a public hall
were those of June IL, 1891, held
in the College Oratory. The rails
ing of the standard of the school
barred class from graduation but
pleasing exercises composed Of
songs, drills, recitations and the
presentation Of flag by Gilbert
Porter, made up the program. In
June 1892 the first class was gradu-
ated from the school.
In 1898 the school law was chang
ed, re-assigning the district so that
it included a larger territory. AT
the close Of the school year in June
1896, the enrolment had grown to
29S. The course Of study was COM
pletely revised to include twelve
grades, and a meeting of the tax
payers called to discuss means of
providing more ample quarters for
the children. No definite action was
taken until June 1897, when a com.
mittee composed Of James Hossing.
er, G. w. Williams, G. G. King and
John Pilling, was named to arrange
for additional buildings. Agree.
ment was finally made with the
trustees Of the Academy, in which
school had been discontinued, fol-
the leasing Of the building to the
Board Of Education, for the nom
inal sum of $50 annually. Such ar
action is in keeping with the orig
inal grant Of the Penns, which de-
clare that the property must bt
used for educational purposes for
ever.
In September 1898 the grammar
and high school grades took posses
sion of the Academy, which has
since been used as a part Of the
public schools.
The addition of the Academy
building, hwoever, only afforded
temporary relief, and in the yeal
1907 it became necessary to build &
hew schoolhouse, which is located OF
grounds adjoining the Academy
This addition to the school system
which at present serves for the si1
grammar grades, has been designed
so that annexes will provide fol
the growth Of the school for years
to come.
In September 1911, a commercial
course was added to the high
school curriculum. In June 1913 g
senior class numbering twenty, the
largest in the history of the schoo
was graduated. A number Of the
graduates pursue their studies in
higher institutions, but to the ma
jority the public school furnishes
in it's fulness, their quota Of schoo
life. &rEFwF

Work On Water
Main Progresses

"More progress has been made in
the work Of recaulking the water
mains. within the last three days
than in all the time since the work
was begun" was the encouraging
report given to this office by Con-
tractor Jacobs this morning. Sew
eral difficulties were encountered
just east of the B. & O., at the be-
ginning, but these have now been
adjusted.
Although it is necessary to have
the street open for distance OF
eleven hundred yards, Mr.. Jacobs
loses no opportunity of providing
for the convenience of the public.
His laying of a surface pipe to res
licences at the western end OF the
line is an illustration Of the spirit
that features his work. Much in
terest has been manifested by citi-
zens, in the work along the line dur
ing the last few days. The new
burner, charged from tank OF
acetylene oxygen has attracted
much attention. This is used for
burning lead from the joints, and
has temperature Of 5000 degrees.
The presence Of water in the pipes
his no effect whatever upon the
process. Residences along Main
street between the Depot Road
and the center will be without
water for the next few days.

COMMUNITY MEETINGS
CLOSE FOR SEASON
Record Breaking Crowd In
Attendance

The series OF Community Meet
ings held during the winter in the
High School closed on Monday
evening with rd-breaking
crowd, which far exceeded the ac-
commodations of the building.
Miss Robinson, dean of the
Women's College, was present and
talked pleasingly concerning the
ideals and opportunities Of the col
lege. Mrs. G. G. Robinson Of Clay
mont, Delaware, chairman Of the
Music Committee, Delaware State
Federation of Women's Clubs,
talked on the best in modern music,
illustrating her remarks with
selections from modern = mostly
American-writers. Mrs. Robin
son charmingly prefaced her selec-
tions with anecdotes and local set
tings leading to the composition of
the numbers. The evening was
thoroughly appreciated by all low
ers of music. Favorites among the
numbers player, as picked up from
scraps Of conversation heard thru
out the audience at the close of the
program, include "By the Brook, -
lby Anton Strelezki, played with all
the lightness and musical rhythm
suggestive Of the fresh mountain
brooklet; ''The Juggler,' repre-
senting the clash and motion of the
juggling balls at a country fair;
"The Serenade,' by Teresa Car
reno, Americas greatest woman
pianist, written for her daughter
{the music represents love song
as played on stringed instruments
by the troubadours of old) "Chat-
tering Squaw," an imitation Of In
dian music, referring to the legend
of squaw who had been tortured
by the removal Of her tongue; the
'Frog Pond" !" a realistic imitation
of the croakers' concert; and
"Prairie Sadness" by Kroeger, in
which plaintive melody played by
the right hand is sustained by a
running movement, suggestive oa
a babbling stream, in the left-the
story Of a lonely prairie maiden
pining for the gayities and associa-
tions loved by youth. Mrs. Robin
sons interpretations proclaim her
an artist who cannot fail to delight
the audience wherever she goes, and
arouse a greater appreciation for
music worth while.
Following the public meeting a
short business session was held, at
which time Friday evening, June :
was fixed for the first annual ban
quet of the Association. The an.
nual business meeting-the only
stated meeting of the year-will be
held on the same evening, and Off
GERS will be elected for the coming
year. Arrangements are in charge
of d. Raymond McNeal, Misses
Elizabeth Crime and Winnie Fader
An invitation will be extended tt
members Of the graduating class
to be present at the banquet.

BURNING COTTON STALKS
 IN BOIL WEEVIL TERRITORY

A reader in boil weevil terri tory asks if we recommend burn- ing stalks now as a means of weevil control.
 In order to!answer this quest ion intelligently it is necessary to look at the results we hope to &C., complish by destroying the stalks. As rule, after the first heavy autumn frosts. the weevils that are in the cotton fields go into winter quarters hibernate. Since the aim of stalk destruct- ion is the destruction of as many WceVlls as possible and also of their food supply, it is evident that after the weevil has left the cotton plants and after all green foliage has been killed by frost, little good can be accomplished burning the stalks. In fact. since a ton of cotton stalks and leaves may have fertilizer and humus value of several dollars, the loss in plant food far out weighs any possible gain.
 The time to burn cotton stalks as a means of destroying the weevil is before November 1, if at all; and the best way to hand le those now standing on the land will be to blow them under deep ly at as early date::as possible. - Progressive Farmer.

What diseases does the fly carry? Typhoid fever, consump- tion. diarrheal diseases, dipther;a scarlet fever. and in fact any communicable disease.
 How can the fly be prevented? By destroying all filth about your premises; cover the manure, burn all waste matter, destroy your garbage. use plenty of lime and screen your house.
 Either man must kill the fly or the fly will kill the man.
 One pair of flies will raise 191, 900, GOO, 000.0OO, O00 mo r 2 flies.
 Starve the fly! Swat him! shoot him.

unemployed is increasing each year, the number of consumers is increasing so much more rapid ly than the producers that it will be necessary for many to change their .present avocation. Many men with no experience in farm work have succeeded. and there are possibilities there which can not be found in any other line of work for the man without means. It is a business and may be built according to ability, and the men who go into farm work now, and devote their time to scientific farming will be certain tosucceed. There are thousands of failures in the city to one on the farm and 1t seems that many who strug- gling along for a bare existence would realize this and profit by the experience of others-Four States Press.

FLY CATECHISM

Where is the fly born? In manure and filth.
 Where does the fly live? In all kinds ot filth and he carries filth on his feet and wings.
 Where does the fly go when he leaves the manure pile and the spittoon? He goes into t h e kitchen. the dining room and the store and crawls on the sleeping babv's face and especially the little rosy lips.
 What does the fly do them? He walks on the bread, fruit and vegetables: he wipes his feet on the butter and bathes in the milk.
 Does the fly visit patients sick with consumption. typhoid fever and cholera infantum? He does and he may call on you next. car rying the infection of these dis eases.

It IS not generally known, but nevertheless a fact. that there are people living who can rem- ember the time when tomatoes were raised merely for their beauty as we now raise roses. While it's beauty was admired 1t was considered like the poisonous oak, dangerous to even handle except by dark complected per sons. Years of acquaintance ship. however. wore off it's pup erstition and few fool. hardy" actuallyowned up to having tast- ed the fruit. From this small beginning has gradually grown a use that makes today an industry with a combined capital of over thirty millions of dollars to it's employees each year and aggregat- es an output of two hundred and

five year lease he now has on the farm he moved to when he left the city expires he will be able to move to a farm of his own. He says in part:
 What would I be doing if I were in the city working at my trade today with two feet of snow on the ievel? Sitting by the fire just the same as am do- ing now; only l am making dol lars today where there I would be spending them. Would my wife go back to the city? We'll, 1 think this is answer enough. Why should we, when we are happier than we ever were be- fore and are both young and have the best part of our lives yet be- fore us.
 The same opportunity is awaiting all such young men and women who are not afraid to get out and work and take advant- age of helping hand when it is offered and work on a little bor- rowed capital so long as they can see their way clear.
 There is one point that I must say. that 1 can stop my team in the middle of the field, or any other place, and light my pipe. and 1 never could do that work ing for a boss in: :the city"
 While of course an impossibil- ity for everyone to move to the farm and make a success, there Is ample room for hundreds of men in every state in the union to do as the young man in Ohio has done. The value of farm products has increased rapidly for the past few years, and aside from this there are many featur- es of farm work that are being neglected which could be devel- oped and made profitable to any one devoting their time to it, and if the same time was spent in working on a farm as the aver age man in the city spends at work at his trade, there would b. many more successful farm CTS. There will come a time when it will be necessary for many of the city to go to the farm, the cities are becoming overcrowded and the army of
