Ten new faces appeared among

raising the total enrolment above
$50. The parents of all children who
have not started to school are ear
nestly entreated to enroll their chill
dren as soon as possible. There are
many children yet to come in and
they must do so soon if they wish to
even stand chance of promotion.
The first month of the Millsboro
school was considered a success
from every angle and everyone is
starting out on the second month
with renewed energy and ambition.
The first grade, taught by Mrs. Ida
Chandler led in attendance last
month, making daily average of
99.2@o. The elementary school as a
whole averaged $3.50, while the
high school made an average of
96.2%.
The children were given their
monthly grades Monday, October z.
Whenever possible, the grade cards
will be given out on the 5th of each
month and the parents are asked to
make inquiry if the cards are not
presented at this time.
The new grade card that is being
used in the Millsboro High this year
does much to add to the facility of
getting out the monthly reports as
each pupil receives a card for each
subject he is perusing, it is not nee
essary for the cards to pass from one
teacher to the other or that all the
grades be placed on all the cards by
one person as must be done when
the State cards are used. This new
card, which was designed especially
for Millsboro, contains much valu-
able information for the parent and
requests among other things that the
parents visit the school and coop
crate in other ways to help the
school help the child.
The girls in the first year Home
Economics class are making their
cooking uniforms. These are the
white aprons and head bands. They
cut the patterns for these according
to their own measurements.
The second year girls are plan
ming their winter wardrobe and !
making over those garments neces-
sary. Several dresses have been
dyed and discarded shirts and dress
es are being transformed into attrac-
tive sport skirts to be worn with
separate blouses. (
For sewing boxes firm cardboard |
boxes are being collected from the |
various stores and covered with oil
cloth in pretty patterns. These boxes
are thus very strong and serve their
purpose adequately.
There will be a series of inter
class basket ball games started in
the Millsboro High School on We'd
nesday when the juniors will COM
pete with the seniors. The spirit of
is extremely high among
he classes, especially since last
years varsity material is fairly well
divided among the four classes. The
champions of the interclass series
will receive class numerals.
The school library continues to
grow through the efforts of the chill
lren and the generosity of the peo-
)le of the community. Special atten-
ion was called to the donation made
,y Helen Williams, a student in the
nigh school. These are the first
books that have been presented to
he school directly by student. The
committee hopes that whenever pos
jible others may follow this ex-
