80 BOYS IN DELAWARE HOMES
New York ChiIdren's Aid HELPS tbe
Farm Situation and Does Good

Mr.. R. L. Neill and Mr.. w. J. Brv-
an agents of the New York Chill
dren's Aid Society, were in town TO-
Gay seeing some of their friends. Mr..
Neill spoke interestingly of the Soci-
ety's work in Delaware. Some 90
boys placed in Delaware homes at one
time or another, are now in the army
or navy, of whom nearly all volun-
teered, and three-foulths are now in
France. Mr.. Neill also told of the
SOciety's endeavor to help the bows
now on the farms and receiving almost
double the wages that farmers bows
earned before the war began, bv hav-
ing them send the Society one-half of
their wages, which money is placed in
the savings bank in each bows name
This forms a fund which can be drawn
on for their benefit in case of need
and will be paid over to them with the
accumulated interest when they come
OF age. This plan seems to us an ex-
cellent one to teach the boys thrift
and provide them with a fund to start
them in life.

just as the Smyrna Public Schools
are to take up an agricultural course
at the hands of a qualified Federal in
structor under the provisions of the
Smlth-Hughes act of Congress. the
action of the Milford School Roard
IN dropping a similar course in that
town is causing more or less talk. The

tlty MilfOrd's course. Last weeL, tho
Milford School Board voted TO dis
continue the agricultural course in
their schools. This course was made
possible by federal aid under the act
OF Congress, and it was inaugurated
year ago. Mr.. Balinger, who was
IN charge last year, made good start
IN the work, but after careful cOnsid-
Grafton of the matter, the Board de-
clded not to employ another teacher
to succeed him, and he has taken a
position elsewhere. To the section of
the country Immediately surrounding
the town of Milford theaction comes
as a disappointment. The number of
pupils who enrolled for agricultural
work last year was exceptional for
the first year of course. During the
period from March 1st to August 1st.
the agricultural instructors made 1850
visits to places where students were
at work, and 90 visits in line of his
duties to places other than whore
work was being done. He held 159
office consultations with pupils during
this period. There were % pupils
taking the course, of whom five were
dropped because of absence during
the summer months, and two were
because of disease among
their chickens and crows eating their
chickens. A total of AZ parents were
supporting the work of their children
IN the agricultural course. During
the summer the pupils in the course
uHed l8 acres, on which they made
various experiments. They raised
484 animals. The gross value of the
products Of the pupils amounted to
S3,450. The Milford Board of Educa-
ton expended approximately S92 for
travelling expenses and approximately
500 for books. The balance of the
money required for the work is fur
mshed by the United States govern
ment. The Chronicle says: "The ac-
lion of the local board of education
Will place a great handicap upon this
in scuring government aid
.or this work, should they want it in
