University OF Delaware Short Course Will Be Brought To Milford Th
Year And Bids To Be The Largest And Best Ever Conducted
By The University
WEEK OF FEBRUARY TWELFTH TO SEVENTEENTH
Interesting Speakers And Instructors Have Been Secured And Monday
Tuesday And Wednesday Will Be Given Over To Discussions
And Instruction On Poultry Growing.

The Farmers Short Course of the
University of Delaware will be held
in the new Grange Hall in Milford the
week beginning Monday, February II,
and ending February II. The affair
this year bids fair to be the largest
and best ever held by the University.
Last year the short course was held at
Seaford and the average attendance
was about two hundred; and this dur
ing the most severe winter weather
that the State had experienced in
years. This year those in charge of
the course hope to have about one
thousand persons in attendance.
Milford is in the centre of the poul-
try growing section of Delaware, and
the persons residing in this imme-
diate vicinity are much interested in
this industry. For that reason Pro-
fessor C. A. McCue, who has charge
of the course, has made special eff
forts to see that this feature of the
course is amply taken care of. Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday will be
given over to discussions and instruc-
tions on poultry growing. Men Of ma
tional prominence in the poultry in
dustry will be present to aid the per-
sons in attendance. Thursday will be
devoted to the discussion of soils,
crops and poultry. On Friday horti-
culture will be the topic for discus
sion, while on Saturday live stock will

On Monday and Saturday after
moons movies, showing activities
along the line then under discussion
will be shown. This course is free to
the public, and it is hoped that the
attendance will be large.

BANKS WELL CONDUCTED
Demands On Banks And Loan As
sOciatiOns For Mortgage Loans
Very Great.

The demand on banks and building
and loan associations for loans on
mortgages has been very great in Del
aware during the last year, according
to the report of State Bank Commits
sioner George L. Medill as submitted
to Governor William D. Denney on
Tuesday. This report shows that the
total mortgage loans held by banks,
savings banks and building and loans
associations amounts approximately
to the enormous total of 16,325,000.
Commissioner Medi1l's report is as
follows:
have the honor of submitting here
with the fourth annual report of this

ing the year 1922, and showing the
condition of state banks, trust COM
panies doing a banking business, and
savings banks, as disclosed by their
reports made to this department un-
der date of December 80, 1922; also
the condition of building and loan as
sociatiOns as shown by their reports
at different dates.
There are forty-one state banking
institutions, including branches, ac-
lively engaged in business within the
state with combined resources of $84,-
941, ,589. An increase of $6,492,615
over that shown by my last annual
report. To this increase should be add
ed the decrease in borrowed money
of $1,285,50 The increase in demand
deposits during the year was $4,6O7,-

MEASLES In ASCENDENCY
in CITY OF WILMINGTON

The Board of Health of the City of
Wilmington is daily receiving reports
of numerous cases of measles, and the
city is now in the midst of real epi-
demic of that disease, if reports car
ried by the city newspapers are cor
rect. On Monday alone fifty new cases
of measles were reported to the Board
of Health. The total number of meas
les cases reported to the board is well
over two hundred, and of all contag-
ious diseases is over 500. In two of
the public schools over 800 children
have been absent as one time this
week because of illness. Wilmington
are buster than at any time
since 1918 at which time the ''flu" epi-
demic was raging. One doctor stated
that a conservative estimate would be
that there are over 1000 cases of
and a like number of influen-
"a in the city. Seventeen deaths from
were reported last week.
OF these cases the majority were at
first reported as influenza. Influenza
often develops into pneumonia and
here, physicians say, lie it's chief
danger. People are prone to regard
lightly an attack of grippe and thru
lay themselves open to
penumonia. The Wilmington Board of
Health on Monday issued a warning
to the public at large in regards to
proper precautions to take against in
huenza. "Take care of yourself and
stay indoors if you get the influenza
or grip, for the sake of others as well
as Yourself"

TEACHERS FAVOR
SCHOOL PROGRAM
Sussex County Teachers Meeting At
Georgetown Support Work Of
State Educators.

That the members of the Sussex
County Teachers Association are a
unit back of better education was in
dicated by a series of unusual incl
dents that developed at the sessions
of the third annual convention of that
organization held in the courthouse
last Friday.
The instructors not only turned out
in great numbers despite the grip, but
they went on record as supporting the
So, 100000 building and budget pro-
grams of the State Board of Education
but also urged that the salary of "a"
teachers with certificate be increased
from $115O to $500 annually.
The teachers were not alone in their
support of the educational program,
for the school trustees of Sussex met
in separate and joint sessions with the
instructors and they established pre-
cedent for Delaware and showed their
support and loyalty to the State Board
by organizing what will be known as
the Sussex County Trustees AssOcia-
ton.
'I don't want my three children to
have to black the boots of the children
of Maryland, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, simply because they were not
given as good an education by Della
ware as the children of these sur
rounding states received, said George
Williams, chairman of the trustees,
and retired and wealthy business
man, of MillsborQ. He was made pres
ident, and Layfield Long, of Selbyville,
secretary, Of the new trustees organ
ization. They will meet in few days
and then present their compliments to
the legislature in the way of demands
for support of the school program.
Former Senator Asa Bennett, of the
district which Representative Ellwood
Nelson represents, urged the forming
of this organization. Nelson has been
one of the bitterest antagonists of the
state board, and his bill ripping sal
aries and reducing the forces Of the
school system is pending in the legis-
lature at Dover.
Still another factor, the Parent-Tea-
cher Associations Of the county, rep
resented by Mrs. Emily Cleaver, the
state president, assured the trustees
and teachers that her organization
which comprises $50 community bod
les is back of them.
DR.. M. S. Pittman, director Of rural
of Ypsilanti, Mich, who
came all the way to Delaware for the
enthused the teachers with
new love for their calling with his de-
scription of what a successful rural
teacher should embrace. He said ru-
raj teacher must be good-looking, be a
leader, be able to lead the

by the coming generation and
revered by her pupils. In the matter of
looks, Doctor Pittman said that while
some teachers were called homely by
The world, their ability and learning
soon caused them to be considered
