MILFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

When one considers what a large
amount of money the people Of Mil
ford have subscribed to the second
Liberty Loan, one must not forget
what the children of Milford have
done. The Boy Scouts, practically
all of whom are pupils regularly at
tending school, have raised by solic-
itation and personal Investment over
$4,000.
Due to the fact that many Of the
pupils in the public scnOOl could not
afford to pay one dollar a week for
fifty weeks, Mr.. Nickel made the ar
rangement that the pupils could sub
scribe any amount ranging from one
cent to one dollar per week for fifty
weeks. Many of the pupils became
so interested that in one day they
subscribed for eight hundred dollars
worth of bonds.
II is intended to use this as basis
for savings fund in the school for
pupils, whereby thrift can be taught
in a practical way to the pupils. BY
the time this is printed the amount
will probably be considerable over a
thousand dollars.

Madame Duryea thanked the con-

Notwithstanding the fact that in do
ing so the collections had to be mace
within three days, and that many
could not be reached at all, enough
was contributed TO fill four large
boxes. Frederica alone gave enough
TO fiji one large box. Everyone seem
ed so willing and anxious to give and
almost everything contributed was in
frst-class condition, seryieeable and
wearable. Many treasures, sacred 70
the memory of loved ones gone, found
their way into these boxes. Each D0H
also contained a pair of warm blank
cts and a few books and toys for the
kiddies at Christmas time, but there
were not enough of these.
Since the beginning of the war four

der of Walter Benson at Bowers
Beach on August 11th, both prisoners

that he has already spent six months
in Jail. the court made the sentence
lighter, giving a term Of four years
and six months imprisonment, and to

NO MONEY APPORTIONED FOR SCHOOLS

The public schools are inquiring for
the reason why checks cannot be
drawn against the Farmers Bank. as
usual, for the salary of the teachers;
the State money is usually used by
the rural districts, especially at this
season of the year. The State Treas
urer has not made the appOrtionment'
for the very good reason that the law
enacted at the last session of the leg
islature requires that he shall pay the
expenses of all teachers who attend
the Summer School session, from the
$4,000 appropriated to public
schools, before the apportionment to
the schools can be made. Up to this
week, the bills for the teachers ex-
penses had not all been received, and
for that reason, the amount OF the
States appropriation to the various
schools has not been set over to the
credit of the various districts. When
this IS done. notice of the amount, less
the cost of the school books bought,
will be placed in the Farmers Bank,
subject to the check of the various
school districts. Until then, the
schools will have to pay the salaries
from the money they raise by taxa

, Grange offers 81 90 for the best loaf.

the girls in their school about it?

day morning and brought in on Sat
urday afternoon, it need not interfere
with attendance upon school. Now IS

in bread making, the finest art in the
whole realm of cookery, and earn a
little money.
The Grange will soon have the
pleasure of listening 10 Miss Dole, a
national Emergency Home Demonstra
| tor, who will have something worth
while to say to members Of the Grange
on live topics of war times. She is
not a stranger to many of US, as she
was here last spring helping with the
| food demonstrations given in the
Century Club rooms. She is also a
sister Granger, having recently join
ed Capitol Grange, Dover. Her talk
to the Century Club women on last
/ Monday was practical fOrceful and
helpful. Let every one Of us make
an effort to be there the day she ar
rives.
II will be announced next Saturday
just what day Miss Dole will be here.
Those who make the most OF op-
portunities are the ones who get on
in the world. Each opportunity TAX
en-, or used, is a step toward some
thing else, a little better, little high
er. At this time particularly when
all time, effort, money and thoughts
are more valuable than usual, let us
make the most of these opportunities.
They are presented by those who give
their time and effort for the better
ment of our community, state and
nation.
Next Saturday will be Sisters Day
and something good has been pre-
pared. Come and meet the new mem
bers.
