MILFORD SCHOOLS
WILL REOPEN WITH
LARGE ENROLMENT
continued from first pagel

ing considerable study to the prob
lem. 1t is true that the superintend
ent will have a divided placement o.
department units, which is not foI
the best interest of school work; bui
it is the best that can be arranged
under present conditions.
The cost of heating is greatly en-
larged through the scattered units oi
the schools, while the element Oi
rental and supervision adds to the
cost of maintaining the school.
The coIored school is much bet
ter as to condition; being all under
one roof and the building especially
arranged for school work, while the
Fairgrounds are ample and attrac-
tive.
The corps of teachers has been Sc
lected with a view to expect as near
perfect service in all the depart
ments of teaching, as it is possible.
1t was the purpose of the Milford
Board of Education, to retain as
much of efficiency in the teaching
staff, as it was possible; for there is
always other schools making effort
to attract to them, the best to be
found in schools like Milford has Or
ganized. The additional teachers
come with the best recommendations
for their several departments and
after careful study of their advan-
tages. Well known teachers have
been induced to come to Milford to
maintain the high standard of our
public school work. This is especial
ly true in the selecting of a ,eacher
for training the children in the kind
of music that can be taught with
benefit to the community in the pub
lie schools.
The department of Manual Train
ing has grown to be an important
part of public school education, un-
der the direction of Mr.. Barsby.
Milford has an efficient public
school, which is over-crowded and
scattered about, because of much
needed buildings. 1t is due to the
people of Milford to see that the
children, who will be the men and
women of tomorrow, shall have
proper school buildings in which to
fit themselves for better citizenship.
It must be done, if Milford is to ad-
vance in morals, in financial impor-
tance, in manufacturing interests
and in population.
The members of the Milford Board
of Education want the parents to
come see the schools and their en-
vironments, before the school term
opens, and again come after it has
started. ..-
Remember, that it is necessary for
each parent, or those in parental re-
lation to children of school age, to
report to the superintendent, Mr..
Robert e. Shilling, before the school
opens, the name, age and sex OF the
child, as we'll as its health and phys
ical condition, so that he may enroll
and assign those who want seats in
the Milford school for the ensuing
school year and who expect to at
tend for the school year. Better to do
that within the next ten days.
If the child has come to Milford
from other parts of the state, or
moved to Delaware from another
state, must bring with them the
school record from the school where !
it last attended school; the record
can always be obtained without cost
from such schools, and it saves the !
child much work and makes pos
sible a quicker assignment by hay
ing this record.
