marks, Professor Berlin said
The Wilmington High School has
done its bit well and promptly as the
following shows:
]. The enlistment Of pupils in the
/ agricultural forces OF the State fol
the increase OF its food production. Al
ready about sixty young men have
gone forth TO assist the farmers o.
this State and of neighboring States
I'm this laudable work and there are
still a number who are waiting fO
their chance TO assist in increasing
the food production. We are recei'
ling excellent reports from them il
which they all with one accord sa.
it is glorious work for a glorious pur
pose They show the true American
spirit.
.. The cultivation Of back lots and
gardens in which considerable pro
gress has been made, are receiving
we'll merited credit and we hope
that the results obtained will more
than justify the labor and sacrifice
made.
8. The instruction given by Miss
( Metz in FIRST aid to the injured is
/ growing daily in interest. and girls
are receiving valuable instruction,
which will amply repay them in flu
/ ture years. II was a timely depar-
/ ture i'm our instruction.
A. The Red Cross work has also
found enthusiastic workers. in the
school. with the proud result that
more than three hundred pupils were
enrolled and about forty members OF
the faculty.
.. instruction In canning naturally
follows the work done by the boys IN
/ cultlvating vacant lots and gardens
for the girls can now find an excel
lent way to do their little bit for the
preservation OF the fruits and vege
tables thus raised. Hence the serie.
of lessons arranged by Miss Mcdaniel
instructor in domestic science, viii be
most timely and will be a splendid
contribution in helping to solve the
food problem.
6. The patriotism of the athletic
association of the Wilmington Higl
School Is shown i'm the subscription
made 10 the liberty loan. This asso
citation must be credited with taking
a 81 900 bord which gives emphasis
to their willingness to support tho
government of the people, by the PEG
pie and for the people
