SOPHOMORES AT SLAUGHTER
BEACH

One of the most anticipated social
events in the Milford High School
occurred last Friday evening when
the Sophomore class had a party at
Slaughter Beach. The unexpected
rain all Friday afternoon was offset
by George Draper's generously open
ing his cottage for the use of the
class. An interesting program was
arranged for the evening, consisting
of faculty take offs" readings,
ghost stories and songs. The hearth
fire substituted for the bonfire and
the whole group unanimously agreed
that indoor roasting of weiners and
marshmallows was just as much fun
as being out on the shore. The chap
erons were Mrs. E. B. Rosa, Miss
Heindle and Miss Warden. The group
of fifty children arrived in Milford at
ten o'clock, after a most enjoyable
outing.

WILL GIVE DATA ON DELAWARE

In addition to having the first
building to be completed in time for
the opening of the Sesqui-Centennial
exhibition in Philadelphia, Delaware
will have a headquarters that will
be equipped as thoroughly as those
many other States in the Union, al
though it is the smallest in popula-
tiOn.
With the cost of the building, the
funds of the Delaware Sesqui-Cen-
tennial Commission appropriated for
that purpose were exhausted and
there was no money available for
other items. In this contingency the
officials of the Wilson Line stepped
forward and have arranged to pay
the expense attached to having a
registered nurse on duty in the Del
aware building at all times through
out the entire exhibition.
This nurse will care for all who
may need her attention in and about
the Delaware building, and will give
her assistance wherever and when
ever possible.
The Wilson Line also has arrang-
ged to have a table in the building,
where visitors attending the exhibit
ton and who visit the Delaware
building. will be given maps of the
state and folders showing the attrac-
tions the Delaware river provides
for those who like river outing.
Through this service the Wilson
Line hopes to provide information
for tourists visiting the East for the
first time and who may never have
enjoyed the beauties of rural Della
ware and which promise this year tc
be exceedingly fine.
The Wilson Line table will be II
charge of Delawareans who know
their state and who can not only
go through the mechanical process
of handing out a road map or rlv'
er booklet, but will be able to hell
visitors, by describing the attractive
farming and fruit sections of the
Commonwealth. In other words, they
will be information bureau attend
ants who can intelligently inform
strangers concerning points of in
terest in Delaware.

THREE BOYS LEARN TO
FARM BY FARMING

Three Oklahoma boys, 12. IA, and
16 years old, rented and managed a
27-acre farm last year, added 10
acres to their tract this year, and
have it plowed and planted for the
1926 crops, all without missing Il
day from school They are Dale,
Stanley, and Boise Mears, of Jones,
Oklahoma County.
About three years ago they were
invited to join a boys and girls
club conducted by the county agri-
cultural extension agent. and took a
lively interest in the clubs livestock
and crop judging. By the next spring
they had decided to try some of the
new practices the others boys and
girls were following, so they went to
their father with a proposition for
going into the farming business. He
agreed to be financial backer for
their enterprise.
The boys rented the 27-acre farm,
bought a team and tools, and put in a
cotton crop. They bonght brood sows
and two barrows for each partner to
fatten. Time out of school was spent

Home Education
SELF-CONTROL, TAUGHT ONLY
BY EXAMPLE
Maude Freeman Osborne

Whenever you see a well-bred,
obedient child, you may be pretty
sure that at least one of those who
have had his training in charge has
been gentle and self-contained. One
reason why some parents do not
have more control over their chill
dren is because of lack of poise
shown when attempting to govern
them. This, in turn, is apt to make
the children eXcitable as well as
hard to govern. Mothers and fathers
should school themselves in self-con-
troll.
Mrs. Lynde and Mrs. Wells lived in
a double house. Mrs. Lynde had
large family, and there was always
something happening. This some
thing" was sure to be retailed more
or less true to facts to Mrs. Wells,
often in the presence of the children.
Mrs. Wells, high-strung and nervous,
would get very much excited over
each near tragedy" and the effect
became noticeable in her government
of her children, already almost un-
manageable. 1 liked Mrs. Wells ana
wanted to help her. l realized that
persons of her temperament are apt
to resent advice, so I tried to be very
tactful.
Occasionally, I had opportunity to
call attention to the ridiculous side
of the occurrence and then to add
some comment The girl next door,
for instance, always chose the spec
tacular moment to faint" Bringing
this to Mrs. Wells attention one day,
1 remarked that had the girl not
been brought up without self-control,
she would not faint at sight of
dog. and 1 added, Mrs. Wells, how
much better it would be for your
children if they were away from
such exciting influences"
But l was unable to make much
impression and things seemed to go
worse with her Finally, however, l
was able to give her an object les
son.
A new viaduct had been built, and
put into use before the side walls or
copings had been added. Mrs. Lynde
had gone over it twice, and had
screamed all the time. 1t just SEEM
ed as if the car couldn't help but go
over the side!"
It happened that for the very next
day had made arrangements to take
Mrs. Wells and her three children to
a cradle-roll party, and we had to
go over the viaduct. Mrs. Lynde ad-
vised her not to go. I
Finally, by dint of much arguing
that if the bridge were not safe the
CITY would not allow it to be used,
we started. On the viaduct, when |
Mrs. Wells was getting ready to
scream-she had opened her mouth
for it several times-I said very /
quietly, Now look straight ahead,
and try not to frighten the children.
Then 1 told the funny little story
of the old lady who went over rail-
way trestle for the first time, say
ing when the train reached the far
ther bank of the river, Thank For
tune, we've lit!" /
So. wit hthe exception of an hys-
terical laugh once or twice, we rode,
not only safely but serenely, across.
Though she said a little shamefaced-
ly, "If it hadn't been for the chill
dren. I believe 1 should have scream
ed"
I said. "The fact that you didn't
shows you have good control OF your
nerves"
A few weeks later they sent for
me to see their new home. (
Its only three rooms and a sleep
ing porch" said Mrs. Wells, but we
are in nice yard by ourselves. The
children sleep better already" /

Johnson told Smith there would
be no chance Of saving any money
on the plans that will be thrown
away if the new building is erected.
Arthur Lyday, union secretary,
said he thought it was reasonable to
assume that court action will delay
the building. He asked If it were
true that about $4,000 in repairs
will have to be spent ON the build
ings at Michigan and Pennsylvania

He was told repairs will amount to
about $4,000 a year
Henry Friedman of the investigat-

loss of $4,000 on the plans and
$4,000 @ year in repairs that viii be
paid by the taxpayers
But if the throwing away of $40,-

Yoke and Johnson declared they
knew nothing of this rule. Yoke said
that for $256 more, the board could
have up-to-date efficient systems

Discovered by Official
Blaze at the Indiana Paper Com

ing to Harry Ostermeyer, vice presi-
dent who discovered the fire on the
second floor.
Although the origin Of TIE blaze
could not be definitely determined
Fire Chief Jesse. Hutsell said 1t
might have started from spon-
taneous combustion as the floors had
been oiled Tuesday, Chief Hutsell
also said it might have been care
lessly tossed cigaret. But investiga-
ton will be made to determine the
actual cause.
Within a half hour after the fire
was discovered the interior Of the

over a score Of fire companies an
swered the third alarm. The flames

upon the debris to prevent the smol-
dering ruins from blazing forth
again.
