The Frederick school is proud to re-
port that the scholarship offered by
Montgomery, Ward and Company, of
Chicago, for the champion club of the
State, has been won by Miss Tabitha
Melvin, a high school student. Out of
the five girls of the State considered
for the trip, Miss Melvin was chosen
because of her splendid attitude to-
ward club work and carrying on the
work amid difficulties. She will repre-
sent the Delaware Club Girls at the
Second National Boys and Girls Club
Congress at Chicago. She organized a
sewing club of thirty-One girls, while
she was a student in the grammar
school and the work was completed by
all students, except two, who moved
away. She also won the scholarship
last year to the University of Della
ware for the summer course of the
sewing club and has won a number Of
ribbons and prizes at the State and
County Fair for needle work. We are
sure Miss Melvin will make a good
representative for her State and are
glad to congratulate her on her sue
cess. The Congress is to be held in
Chicago, from December to 9Th, and
we anticipate with pleasure hearing
her report from meeting fifteen hun
bred boys and girls from every state
in the union and the wonderful pro-
gram being prepared.
