the program that was so successfully
rendered by the pupils of the school. The
teacher, Henry c. Johnson. had assist
ed the pupils in preparing their various
parts in the Dramas recitations, etc, to
the extent that it was very great
pleasure to the audience to hear and
watch their performances. One especial
feature was a dialogue, THE School
Master Abroad" performed so accurate-
ly by the boys, which received the hearty
applause of everyone present.
The p. T. A. especially offer their

Peat in Sam Browns Troubles" a very
amusing play of humor.
The last, but not the least, was the

good selection of books. toward the

In Our ToOn


The greatest discovery of all tht
ages is when man discovers himself
We read a census report the Other
day which said country folk live long
er than those in the city. They do moi
have as many autos and as much boot
leg whiskey.
Most of us can remember when one
of the pASular songs in Milford was
"My Sweetheart is the Man in the
Moon"
Our neighbOr's little boy who goes
to the Milford school came home with
his clothes badly torn and very dirty
the other evening. "Why Robert" ex-
claimed his mother. "How on earth
did you get in that condition." 81
tried to save a little boy from getting
licked" he told her. "Who was that
little bOy?" she asked, with pride.
"Me," he replied.
Have you ever noticed how the Mil
ford girl with dimple and good teeth
likes to smile?
We can all remember the days when
a woman held up her dress to keep it
clean in crossing our streets.
Styles may make a wOman's waist
line vary and move up and down but
the average mans arm has little trou-
BILE in following it.
Just because the average town flap
per is easily swept off her feet is no
reason why she should not help her
mother sweep the house.
There are some men in town so
that they will not even give
you a smile.
Outside of your immediate family
about the only people in town who are
in your work are the fell
lows to whom you owe money.
There is not one man in town who
would not rather have a loan of SIS to-
day than a $500 funeral in the future.

PORTRAIT OF DR.. MARSHALL
CONTINUED from page u

fined and learned gentleman. Profes-
sOr William H. Mackey, piOus and
ever sincere, Professor Edward D.
Porter, the erudite and ever witty, and
Doctor Theodore Wolf, the austere,
but efficient chemist, that in 1874 he
secured, with the approval of this
Board, his degree of Bachelor of Arts
and two years later that of Master of
Arts.
The same year he received from
Jefferson Medical College that of Doc
tor of Medicine. 1t was in this, his low
ed profession, that he labOred the rest
of his life.
In this he was esteemed and honor
ed, both locally and nationally.
He assisted in the organization of
the First Regiment of National Guards
Of Delaware, and acted as its Colonel.
He served two terms as State Insur-
ance Commissioner; during which
time he assisted in organizing our
present banking system.
He was a natural politician and as
such was hOnOred by his party in
State and Nation.
He was an esteemed Mason, having
served as Grand Master of Delaware
for two terms.
But it was the cause of Education
that was always close to his heart.
He was a member of the Board of
Education of the public schools of
Milford for % years. He was a trus-
tee of the State College for COlored
Students for Is years.
But it was during his "a years of
service as a trustee of Delaware Col
lege that we, the members of this
board, learned of his devotion to, and
his Jealous interest in what is now
the University of Delaware.
We all know his punctuality in at
tendance upon the board meetings,
and how zealously he guarded the
various departments of the institu-
tion.
He saw, between the time of his
matriculatiOn as a student in 1870,
and the time when he ceased his ac-
tivity, when death claimed him in
1915, the college grow in numbers
from 10 students to the hundreds;
and I am sure that if he could COM
municate with us today in any man
ner, we would hear him in praise of
the University and those who have
contributed their time and means to
its usefulness.
It was while a student here that he
met Mary Louise Donnell, of Newark,
our guest of the day. Being a friend
and roommate I am not permitted to
tell how that meeting ripened into
marriage on April Is, 1873. Sufficient
is it to say that in course of time his
loyalty to old Delaware College was
demonstrated by educating his four
sons within her walls.
Aftert his review of his life, far
too short, permit me, Mrs. Marshall
and family, on behalf of this Board, to
accept this portrait and hang it upon
the walls of Old College, as pleas
ant memory for those who knew him,
and as an inspiration for those who /
shall know him by his labOrs.

To Editor Milford Chronicle:-
read in the issue of the Chronicle
of February II, 1922, letter from
Bayard, in which reference was made
TO the Lizard Hill w. c. A., waking
I'D the community. When l saw the
name "Lizzard Hill' it took me back
to nv boyhood days; for, it was there
that | went to school and the place is
dear to me. l often think of that old
school and school mates. Several OF
them are living, while others nave
gone to the great school beyond. LIS
ten old school mates. Those OF you
who read these lines, think OF the Gays
when Billy Hudson and John Rodney
Steel, were our teachers. How we
longed for Friday afternoon to Gomez
Then we used to choose up sides ana
have spelling competitions. DO you re-
member how hard Hester Lynch and
Alice Bennett were to spell down?
They were two of the best spoilers IN
those days. Do you remember when
our school went to what was then
known as the Trap School to take
part in spelling cOntests-spelling
schools we called them then?
How I would like to meet with you
on March 10th in old Lizard Hill
School bouse-it is not the same
school house that l attended, Tor tnat
one was destroyed by fire; Dut' II IS
located at the same place.
I was born and raised near Llzzard
Hill in Sussex county, DelaWare,-
and. how 1 would delight to see the I
old place again. Friends, it does me
good to read of your making some
thing of Lizard Hill. Boost 1t over tne |
ton. You have brain and the grit to 40
if and. if ever l meet Mrs. Gray L
will take off my hat to her, for ar
ranging so fine a program IN only
four days.
There is one who will search the
columns of the Chronicle each week
fer a letter from Bayard, or Lizard
Hill: also the letters from other towns
in many of the places from when
weekly letters are printed, where
have friends in lower Sussex county.
Perhaps some one of my old school
mates will read this letter, as l am
told that several of them are living
vet. I want to say this-that II you
will continue to have your communl-
tv meetings until after the weather
GETS better, and I can learn OF the
date for holding them, in time so that
I can get there, it is my firm lnten->
tion to meet with the people OF Liz
zard Hill and vicinity.
By reason of my having passed the
half-mile post of life, that is no cause
for me not to enjoy good time with
old and new friends-so 1 shall be
there.
Now Just a few words to the schol-
ars of the Lizard Hill school of to-
dav. by way of advice: viz;
use of every day and hour of your
time and opportunity in school-you
have many advantages that we of other
years did not have in our school days.
I often recall verse in our old
spelling book, which was:
an Works of Study or of Skill
Let me be busy too
Thus I shall find for every day,
Some useful thing to do"
Wishing all success at Lizard Hill,
I am one of the old pupils of the old
Lizard Hill School,
