the problem Of encouraging child to
read good books.
twenty-five percent of those who
are taught to read" said Mrs. Con-
nelly, lend all reading with the
school. The major part of people
who read, read for the thrill they get
out of it, read emotional stories; only
five percent of the people read for in
tellectual information, and also be-
come enthusiaSed with their subject"
Miss Connolly warned against too
large library for children. A few
good books, all of the best, insure no
let down in taste for good literature.
A majority of people do not know
how to get information they want.
Miss Connolly described few devises
for supplying the child with good
reading.

Wheat Down

Bridgeville farmers are selling
their wheat for S1.I6 to $1.20 a
bushel. This is half the price they
received last year. The wheat crop
throughout the state is generally
fair, although it has not headed up
well owing to the late frosts. The
farmers in the northern part of the
state are hoping for better prices.
Their wheat was not so far advanced
when the frost came as was the wheat
in the southern part of the state, and
consequently was not injured so
much.
Wheat in lower New Castle county
is threshing out as low as ten and
twelve bushels to the acre and as high
as twenty-seven bushels. The ex-
IRENE low yield is due to the damage
done by the Hessian fly. In cases
where the wheat escaped the fly, the
yield is fairly good.

Der of Commerce last week sold at

STATE PARENT
TEACHER CONVENTION
Conference Held in Newark

The State Parent-Teachers' Associ-
alton held it's annual meeting at Wolf
Hall, July 7. An executive and bust
ness session was held at 11.30.
The afternoon program opened
with delightful song recital by Mrs.
Frances Dewitt Babcock, soprano,
Mr.. J. Wales Davis, tenor, and Miss
Margery Hill, accompanies.
State Superintendent Holloway
made short address stating that the
teachers of Delaware are divided into
two groups, those in the Rest Camp
and those in the Training Camp.
"The success of both groups" said
Mr.. Holloway, depends on the sup
port of the people at home, upon the
Parent-Teachers Associations there"
Mrs. John B. Cleaver, State Presi-
dent of the Parent-T eachers Associ-
alton, presided at the meeting. Mrs.
Cleaver, stated that the membership
of Parent-Teacher organizations had
increased in the past year from 200
to 1000, and the number of organiza-
tions from to 70. There are 26 such
organizations in New Castle, % in
Kent, and % in Sussex county. Mrs.
Cleaver called on representatives of
various Parent Teacher organizations
to report.
Mrs Annie Hobson of Mt. Pleasant,
outlined the organization of her asso-
citation last year, and gave the unique
method of fixing the date for meet
ings on the first Thursday night on
or before full moon.
Miss Ina Barnes, New Castle coun-
ty rural supervisor, told of associa-
lions that had bought playground
equipment, bronze badges for the
county track meet, paid for a sum-
mer playground director, started Ii
braries, and brought victrolas.
Miss Edith Van Sickle, Kent coun-
ty rural supervisor, spoke of the add
ed interest taken by the children
when their parents are interested in
the schools.
Mrs. H. X. Wright, of near Bridge
vile, said that the old fashioned de-
bate proved to be drawing card to
bring the parents and people out to

supervisor, said that she always had
found people glad to help when asked
She urgfied 100 per cent "P. T. A
next year for Sussex county.
DR.. R. w. Cooper spoke encourag-
ingly of his belief that Delaware
schools are not going backward, but
on the contrary that sentiment in
favor of good schools has advanced
more in the past year than in any
previous twenty years. DR.. Cooper
divided the educational problem into
three factors, the home, the commun-
ity, and the school. "The home is the
community" said DR.. Cooper, "and
the community enters into the life of
the nome. The child picks up the
language of the town." He expressed
the hope that the Parent eache1
Associations would bring the inter.
ests of the home and community about
the school. DR.. Cooper outlined the
work of these associations in provid.
ing good libraries, Fairgrounds, and
opportunity for community music.

of the Public Library of Newark

Christian Home for Orphans

The monthly NEE ting of the associa-
ton of the Christian Home for Or
phans held at the home on Tuesday
was the most successful and largely
attended, as yet, this season and was
most delightful in its every phase.
The perfect day and the large
screened porch overlooking the beauti-
full Hudson made the meeting place
ideal and the attendance of twenty
five women from the towns of Palisade,
Edgewater. Fort Lee and Cliffside
Park made a representative gathering
for cooperative work which is I'M
eoualled by any other in these Dor
oughs.
The women busted themselves in
mending the children's clothing as they
transacted business or INDUCED in So
cial conversation and it made an ideal
picture which was enhanced by the
group of little orphans, tots who sang
for their guests very sweetly.
Further music was furnished by a
wonderful young singer, young man,
almost blind, who sang "The Palms"
and other selections from time to time.
During the afternoon cake brought
by several of the women, was served
with coffee.
The recently elected president, Mrs.
G. Donaldson presided at the meeting
and during the afternoon other officers
were chosen: Mrs. j. Il. Koch, as cor
responding secretary; Mrs. Houhtaling

Juniors Get First
Inter-class Meet

The junior class of the local High
| School was the winner of the first in
| terclass track meet held at the new
| High School Athletic Field on last
| Wednesday afternoon. Although the
| seniors took first in most events of
the day, they lost the meet when they
were disqualified in the holly contest
ed relay race.
Much disappointment was incurred
by the spirit Of the sophomore boys,
who weakened their class's chances by
failing to enter in the meet. 1t was
up to the girls of the class to stand
the double burden and strive to keep
their class In the running.
Although the chances Of the fresh
men were considerably weakened by
the withdrawing of Ed Wilson, their
best runner, on account of injuries
before the meet, nevertheless they
were kept in the running by the Won
derful performances of Louise HIATT,
who was the individual high scorer of
the meet

and great courage was winner of both

The seniors are to be cOmplimented
for their work, their boys winning first

which they were entered. In the re-
lay they were the winners by almost
half lap, but were disqualified by
the Judges for faulty pickup at the

entries in a track meet. They have
been preparing under the able coach
