A recital of his qualities and attain

who knew him, but brief outline of
his life as a boy of our town, and his
life as a soldier of the United States
Army. is befitting at this time.
Paris was born in Frederick, Del. =,
September IA, 1898. came to live with
us in Milford, in May, 1903. He at
tended our public school and gradu
ated from the Milford High School
June 2, 1911, and during his school
life he not only tried, but did attain
one hundred percent. He not only
accomplished the work laid down
through the school curriculum, but
applied himself to study to such an
extent that he was enabled to enter
the University of Pennsylvania direct
ly from the high school of Milford
without a preparatory school course.
During his life at the University
he passed every subject of each year
with marks sufficiently high to ex-
empt him from every examination
during his entire collegiate course,
and graduated as one of five out of
an entire class, with the highest hon
Ors which could be conferred upon
him by that great institution.
Loving the life of a rural cOmmun-
ity and its people, he elected to come
from school back home, as
himself with the Chemical
and Physical Departments of the L.
d. Caulk COmpany's Laboratories.
When the great worlds war came to
be, he took a deep interest in the
many intricate questions arising, and
which were likely to arise through
such a conflict. He believed, as did
the majority of our people who were
students Of the question, that Amer
icas place was with those who are
now our Allies, and when our great
country took sides with right and
Justice, no one was more pleased han |
he.
Then the time came when he felt
it his duty to offer his services to /
the government, to serve wherever it |
was felt that he could serve best, and /
he enlisted at Wilmington, Del, on
June, 1917.
He was ordered to training camp,

DARTGCULARLY fortunate az this
L time of national emergency is the
woman who g., able to- turn her training
70 TN some patriotic need. Perhaps
foremost among this class stand the
women Of the country trained along ag-
ricultural and horticultural lines More
6eenly than ever before is their value
realized and they are entering now upon
broad fields OF usefulness.
Siuce the outbreak Of the war the
wom'n Of England and France have
shouldered large share Of the agri-
cultural work Of their countries and
have splendidly proved their worth in
many an emergency. We must not how
ever. overlook the fact that aS a whole
they were ably fitted to undertake the
work when the great call came. For
decades past the schools OF gardening for
women In France and England had been
sending forth their graduates and keen,
Intelligent interest along their lines was
to be found on every hand.
In America. however it is only within
comparauvcly recent years that this in
terest has become aroused to amy great
extent among the women and that horti-
culture has been recognized as pro-
feSsiOn which offers rare opportunities.
In 1910, as u result Of the increasing
demand, the first school Of horticulture
for women I'm this country was founded
at Amber Pa. The numerous state col
leges and universities had some time
previously orgauiz"d their departments
of agriculture. but the encouragement
given to women to take up the courses
was rather slight and the school at
Amber filled a rapidly growing need for
an institution where "a comprehensive
ttFk ~ off aH
and individual instruction emphasized.
The school has drawn its students
from secondary sch5ols and colleges in
all parts OF the United States and from
Canada and it has sent it, graduates
forth into varied aud interesting phases
Of the work. Some have occupied posi-
tions as managers OF private and COM
nercial estates. a. teachers iu public
and nriyatc schools and industrial col
leEes and as experts I'm poultry work !;
Others have become lecturers and con-
sultant gardeners and organizers In the
community and war-garden movements.
Since the need for food production
and conservation has become such a
vital one and the cal for the trained
and intelligent worker is 50 great the
School Of Horticulture has bent its ener-
gies 10 meet this emergency. Last spring
special war courses we're oI6dlue'u,
short course students we're enrolled and

This year the work viii be carried on
along broader lines. Under the war
courses two distinct divisions have been
made; the captains course, which covers
a period OF twelve weeks Of five days
each, and the lieutenants course Of one
dav each week for the twelve weeks.
The subjects offered are those for which
there is most demand a. the present
