school. The Millsboro Community
Band furnished the music which was
enjoyed by all. Miss Thompson led
the vocal music. Almost every grade
was represented in the .children's
part of the program and so we'll was
this part of the program delivered
that Prof. Farley, who was sched-
uled to speak on adult education, de-
waited from his subject to congratu-
late the ones responsible for the
clear enunciation, district circula-
ton and correct pronunciation of the
boys and girls taking part on the
program.
Mr.. Early explained in detail the
great work of adult education in
Delaware and the proper method for
the community to pursue in estab-
fishing various classes.
Principal Bennett made some re-
marks concerning the cooperation
of the home and the school. He
pointed out that the parents could
aid the school much by sending their
children to school regularly, by Wis
iting the class rooms, by verifying
child's school stories, by making no
destructive criticism of the school in
the presence of the children, and by
Offering suggestions at any time. Mr..
Bennett also told the parents not to
become alarmed if the children
seemed to have little or no home as
signments since much of this work
is being done under supervision, in
the school.
Mr.. Ryan, president of the PIT. A.,
made some timely suggestions to the
parents concerning their relation
ship to the school. Mr.. Ryan is
real leader and the organization de-
serves to be congratulated on select
ing this type of a man for its presi-
dent.
Millsboro public school is justly
proud of it's Board of Trustees. This
board, which is unusual in many
ways, has for it's president college
bred man, who is known and hon
ored all over the state; man who
perhaps is in as close touch with the
Delaware school system as any other
man in the state; a man who has
much to do with the present success
as we'll as the future destiny of our
educational system. This man is no
other than George S. Williams, who
is also president of the State Board
of Education.
The other two members would also
stand out prominently in any COM
munity. H. B. Mitchell, the present
secretary, possesses a masters de-
gree from a leading Eastern univer-
sity, has had much experience in
school work, and at present is one of
our leading scientific farmers. The
third member, Harry Williams, is a
well known business man, who is
known for his sound judgment and
hustling ability. At present he is
proprietor of several feed stores in
the various towns of Eastern Sus-
Sex.
Millsboro is confident that no other
school in the State or even in the
United States, can boast of similar
personnel on it's school board.
We are glad to report that Mrs.
Chandler, who has been i'll for sew
eral days, is back on the job.
After adding materially to the
school library through the sympathy
and generosity of friends, Millsboro
public school is starting a campaign
for funds to install motion picture
machine. The value of visual educa-
ton was considered when the new
school building was erected and thus
a motion picture booth was provided.
The proceeds from the entertainment
go be given by Mrs. Breed, Nov. 18th,
will go to this fund. Tickets are now
being sold by the school children. AS
&. Mrs. Breed comes highly recon-
iSnended and as the cause is worthy |
one, large audience is expected.

school library. Those who have con-
tributed books to the school for this
purpose during October are Navada
Murray, Elsie Cordrey, Doris Gallo
way, Jack Ennis, Ned Carey, Theo-
dore Manship and George Mitchell.
Mrs. Olive Wilson was very much
pleased with the results of the In
dian booklet project carried on by
her grade pupils. There were many
very pretty booklets placed on dis
play in her third grade room as a
result of this project.
