On the ninth page of this paper we re-
print a two-column editorial from the
North American of last Saturday. which
we hope will be read carefully by every
person into whose hands this paper may
come. 1t is one of the strongest and best
told facts as to the real danger from flies.
as to our health; and also it cautions
everybody against permitting the disease
breeding spots to exist. If everybody
will cooperate, it is not difficult matter
to absolutely eradicate the fly as factor
of danger as a carrier of disease. One of
our public spirited citizens has authorized
the republishing of this editorial from a
great city daily paper. because it especi-
ally applies to all of our Delaware towns,
and especially the country tributary to
Milford and other places of similar loca-
ton. Read the article on page nine.

THE press Of Delaware can do a great
service by reporting achievements in the
public Offices by the individual who has
honestly aud ably made effort to carry
out the laws, and get the best results for
the people. It might not be bad thing
for every community, every county and
every state for that matter, to have an
organization which, once each year at
least, would publicly honor the men who
are really serving the town, the county
or the state in large way. The papers
of Delaware would gladly print an annual
edition devoted to such an object. It
would help the officials to know that
their work is appreciated, and get better
government for the governed. Why not
the Chamber of Commerce of Wilmington
take up the idea2 1t would soon spread
to the whole of Delaware, and bring
many a discouraged official to renewed
effort to get better results for the public

THE annual inspection of Company B,
Of the Delaware Militia, by the United
States Inspector, took place last month
in the State Armory in South Milford,
when Is men and one officer appeared
upon the drill floor. Six other members
had been inspected at Wilmington, where
they appeared before the inspector when
the companies there were inspected.
These men are working at the powder
works. This makes only thirty four
men at an inspection which involves the
basis of rating for support on the part of
the National Government, and it is not
creditable to Milford, or the people re
siding about Milford. Another point Of
view away from civic pride, is the lack
of realization by the mothers and fathers
of this part of Delaware. they are part
of the nation, and as such they are re-
sponsible for its defence. If tramp
enters your home. you are not willing,
but do fight, to protect your property
and the peace and comfort of the home,
and such fighting is done with whatever
instrument available at the time. That
is exactly the same responsibility you
each and all owe to the nation, and
unless you do your duty willingly, the
nation must compel you, and will COM
pei You, to serve time in preparing your
selves to defend your homes and the
homes Of the nation. The cowardly
position of refusing to permit the 1S-
year-old boy to receive training which
will not only benefit him in general
way but will make him capable Of
defending all that we as free country
cherish as the rights and privileges
which come from free government, by
the people and for the people. is burn
ing disgrace to any community, and to
he people of Milford, it is especially

history and record of its people, been

of any civic or public improvement which
will advance the best interest of the
town. the State and the Federal Union;
but, on the question of whether the
young men shall be encouraged to be

know that the people of Milford do not
realize the duty each owes, or the ranks
of any military training school or COM
pany, would be filled with the boys who
should be preprred to take mp the de-
Tense of the country. 1t is not the old
men who fight the battles; but the young
men on whom the women of Delaware
must depend to protect their honor and
their homes. The local military COM
oany is simply the free training school

THR new laws for the collection oi
county taxes in Sussex County, are do
ing all that was expected of them. and
with just a little adjustment, the new
system will save real money for the tax
payers But the most important part of
the whole matter is in the fact, that the
people are paying their taxes promptly
early in the same year in which they are
levied, which gives the county its money
with which to pay bills, and conduct its
affairs upon a business basis. The pres
ent Receiver of Taxes, Mr.. Volley M.
Murray, at the March meeting of the
Levy Court, showed that all the taxes
placed in his hands for the year 1915,
had been collected up to less than eight
thousand dollars, and more than half of
that was not collected because OF errors
in the. assessment of the taxes, but the
greater part he will be able to get through
a legal proceeding, which should not,
and will not arise under the new assess
ment laws.

Must Have Real High School Course
To Receive State Aid.

lU htCtAft DthNt 4Alus
On Tuesday evening of last week
goodly number assembled in the
Town Hall to hear what the State
Board of Education should have to
say concerning the educational prob
lens of the State and of our own
community. DR.. Charles A. Wagner,
commissioner of education, explained
the requirements Of an approved
high school," and pointed out the
courses the local board OF education
might follow. One was to refuse to
adopt the course Of study and thereby
cease to be an approved high school.
This, to his mind, was incOnceivable.
Another was to increase the teaching
force to the extent necessary to en-
able US to maintain a ten unit" high
school; and a third solution was the
consolidation for high school purposes
with other districts. This last course
he strongly advocated.
Superintendent Scott pointed out
the absolute impossibility of effective
results when teachers were required
to hear from fifteen to twenty recita
tions per day, and that the State must
insist on an adequate teaching force,
in all approved high schools. He al
so defended the action Of the State
board of education in insisting that
high schools should teach high school
and not elementary branches.
The common school branches should
be made thorough in the elementary
and grammar grades, and that the |
pupil who did not know these sub |
ects thoroughly was not yet ready |
o enter high school,
DR.. Mitchell, president of the Della
ware College. expressed himself as
,eing highly pleased with our well
planned and well kept school build
ng, but thought that despite the fore
light of those who planned and caus-
ID to be erected the present building,
he time had come when some provi-
ion must be made for additional rec
tation rooms. He also explained the
our higher schools of
earning demand of the high schools,
nd pointed out by citation of specific
how a lack of required high
chool preparedness handicapped even
hose who had entered and successful
= completed college courses. In view
the conditions, nothing short of a
our year high school course would
Milford chronicle., 1916-04-07

successfully meet the demands of to-
day. and in localities such as ours this
could be accomplished easily if the
consolidation of several districts was
realized
Dean Hayward Of Delaware College,
was also preesnt and presented force
full argument along the same lines.
If we correctly understood the
speakers their advice is to make the
necessary provisions for a ten unit
or two year high school course. as a
temporary meeting of the situation,
but to plan and work for a full four
year course as the ultimate and only
adequate solution of our educational
problem.

With many expressions of good will
from his pupils, H. w. Moore left the
public school last Friday and Mrs.
John L. Gray, who had accepted the
school, took charge Monday morning
and has made a very good impression
on her pupils thus far. DR.. Mitchell,
of Delaware College, visited Mr.
Moores room last week, and was very
much pleased on the way the pupils
were taught. At the public meeting
he complimented the board Of educa-
tion for having Prof Hydorn for the
principal of the high school.
