The carnival is drawing vast
crowds each night and is being very
successfully financially.

haps ever in Millsboro.

the firemen was excellent and netted
them $175.

burned by the Ku Klux Klan with

Though our school is somewhat
crowded by an enrolment of over
325 pupils, the teachers have met the
situation admirably and everything
is progressing nicely. The enroll
ment is increasing each day, how
ever. and since many who belong in
the system will enroll when the busy
farm work is over and the cannerles
cease running, it seems as though II
is going to be necessary to add an
extra teacher to the faculty.
Around 100 reference books have
been added to the library. John Shil-
ling secured for us Comptons En-
cyclopedia, a ten volume set, and
many other valuable volumes. The
committee working on plans to en-
rich our library was greatly encour-
aged when G. S. Williams, without
knowing that any such plans were
being formulated, presented to the
school the new four volume History
of Delaware-Past and Present" The
school is very grateful for this gen.
erous donation as these books were
much desired, but so expensive that
we had little hope of being able to
secure them this year.
The Millsboro Orchestra has start
ed off on it's second year. Prof. Hop
kins has charge of this work again,
and a very successful year is pre-
dicted.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Pierce
"a local business mana piano has
been placed in the teachers room 10
benefit those children who wish to
take private lessons. This is happy
arrangement since it saves the emil
dren the time they would spend go
ing to and returning from home,
keeps them under the jurisdiction OF
the school, enables them to use
free period for practice, and literal
ly adds another teacher TO the sys-
tenn. At present Miss Blanche
Blackstone has charge of the major
ity of students taking advantage OF
this opportunity.
We were glad to have the teachers
of Southeastern Sussex hold their
annual meeting in our building Sat
urday, September IA. Prof. Farley,
who began planning the meeting last
spring, was responsible in bringing
il here and much credit should be
given TO him for the splendid way
things moved off. DR.. Holloway
Major Prince, and Mr.. Williams
were among those who addressed the
meeting. Demonstrations for the
benefit of the visiting teachers were
given by Miss Wilson, Mrs. McCabe,
Miss Cannon, Mrs. Jones and Mrs:
Chandler. Luncheon was prepared
and served by the Home Economics
class under the directions OF Mrs.
Atkins. The meeting which was well
attended seemed to be a success ana
everyone went away feeling that II
was day well spent.
