No school was held Friday afternoon
to enable the teachers to attend
meeting in Georgetown Friday after
noon and evening and Saturday NOR
ming.
On Saturday evening in the school
house the January meeting of the
Home and School League was held.
The president, George S. Williams,
presided and talked effectively on the
futility of trying to make conditions
of thirty years ago meet our present
day needs. ]. c. Ellis spoke on School
Attendance in Delaware" and his re-
marks were splendidly delivered and
contained much thought provoking
substance. Mr.. Steele, the principal,
also spoke briefly on the necessity of
regular attendance of pupils if work
that counts is to be done. Mrs. Mabel
Houston sang in her usual sweet and
pleasing way LET the Rest Of the
World Go By" and some Of the little
folks gave short recitations. The Feb
ruary meeting will be in Dodd's Hall,
the date Of which will be announced
later and an interesting program is
promised.
Miss Matthews and Miss Patten, the
evangelists from Ocean Grove who
have been conducting reviVals in
Grace M. E. Church. for the past three
weeks left Monday afternoon for Mil
ford. Since the beginning Of the
meetings, the first of January, there
have been ninety-four conversions,
the greater part of that number be-
ing the Sunday school children. Rev.
.B. P. Moore will continue the meet
ings this week and should the inter-
est hold, possibly another week.
Miss Thompson, the county nurse,
opened the Child Welfare Center here
on Tuesday, using the room in which
agriculture is taught to the high
school boys. For the present, Miss
Thompson brings her equipment for
the room with her from Georgetown,
but as interest spreads and the far
reaching good of a Health Center is
realized, perhaps Millsboro will sup
ply its own outfit.
Miss Ruth Hall left last Saturday
morning for Baltimore where she will
engage in millinery.
Mrs. Elsie Lingo has been on the
sick list for the past week.
Mrs. Annie Perry has returned to
her home in Seaford after spending

Priscilla Hudson, passed into rest
Monday noon from a disease of the
throat, after an illness of several
months. Funeral services were held
