THE YOUNG WOMEN and mel
who have graduated from the Mil
ford High School, who went into the
University of Delaware and other
colleges for higher education, have
gone far and high in their standards
and records; which is shown in the
records which have become available
by which to check their achieve
ments. Just to make clear how the
High School work in Milford has de-
velOped both young women and men
into students above the average of
those from other schools in Della
ware, the following excerpt from a
letter written in April to the man
agement of the Milford Schools, will
be of more than passing interest not
only to the people of Milford, but to
others in. Delaware who are interest
ed in education The statement
comes from the department having
charge of the record of work accom-
plished by students who went direct
from the High School to the Uni
versity of Delaware, and is as fol-
lows:
''In checking up on the records of
the Freshmen in the Women's
College in Delaware, who have
just come from our High
Schools, note that the four
from Milford have made records
very much above the ordinary.
Three are outstanding and one is
! fair. This is a much better rec
ord than any of the others of our
high schools, and I am writing
to congratulate your school
upon the showing made"
That is an honor of which the Mil
ford people are justly proud; and,
when the fact is considered that the
handicap by lack of buildings as
well as proper facilities and oppoT-
tunity to use the most modern equip
ment for educational training of the
children, has been for twenty years
a serious drawback to the work in
the Milford Schools, the honor is all
the more wonderful. It proclaims
the efficiency Of the teaching corps
and that the management of the
schools has studied the situation in
volved in performing the work. But
this is not all of the fine things
coming back to honor the Milford
High School.
Four years ago Reese Kitchens
graduated from the Milford High |
School and that fall entered Dickin-
son College, at Carlisle, Pa. He is
a son of w. R. Kitchens of the Red
Mill Feed Company, and one of two
sons who have made marks in their
studies. The fact has just reached
his friends here, that Reese gradu-
ates from Dickinson College with
The highest honors and achieved the
honor, of being awarded
in the Phi Beta Kappa
Fraternity, which goes only to those
