Eight Magazines And
Two Papers Provided
Regularly For Students

In the library of the new Milford
High School will be found a large
magazine rack in which are placed
all of the magazines and papers
that come to the school.
These papers are selected princi-
pally for the help and instruction
they can give the pupils. They are
valuable for reference work, as they
contain the most up-to-the-minute
facts.
The magazines subscribed for by
the school are: Popular Science
Monthly, Popular Mechanics, Sci
ence Classroom, National Republic,
National Geographic, Nature Maga-
zine, Hygeia and Our Dumb AMI
mails.
There are two newspapers given
to the school: The Christian Science
Monitor, sent for the third year by
Mrs. Blanche Hirsch, and the Chi
cago Sunday Tribune, contributed
by Mr.. George w. Perry, manager of
the Grant Store. Mr.. Perry is send
ing this paper because each issue
contains an article on stamps that
he wishes every boy and girl to
read.

STATE TEACHERS
RETIRE MEN 7
FUND DISCUSSED
Prominent Educators OF
Chicago And NeIO York
Addressed Teachers.

An innovation in the matter Of
dealing with school business of the
State took place in Newark on the
night of November IL when the del
egates of the Delaware Education
Association gathered there for a
preliminary session. Although most
of the business of the education as
sociation was conducted ON the reg
ular meeting days, November 1S and
IA, this early session started the
delegates off on drive to accom-
plish important matters this year.
Mr.. Ira S. Brinser, Superintendent
of the Schools of Newark, and pres
ident of the State Association, pre-
sided.
One of the important problems
before the association is a State
Teachers Retirement Fund To
date there is no retirement fund for
the public school teachers of Della
ware. For this reason the State is
constantly losing some of its most
capable and successful teachers to
other States where a better provis-
ion is made for them in old age.
The teachers of the State have
voiced their approval of the work of
the General Assembly last year
through their own Legislative Com
mittee. 1t is hoped that further eff
forts will be put forward this year
in behalf of the retirement fund. A
list of fifteen hundred names of
voters who favored such measure
was read before the Assembly last
year.
The Education Association has
never had a permanent home" 1t
is hoped that the headquarters for
the association can be located def
nitely in the State and this is a
matter which was discussed by the
delegates as well as the matter of
making changes in the school reg
lister. The appointment of perma-
nent committees is also being
thought of by numerous delegates.
The association is spending a
thousand dollars for the twO-day |
faculty which will instruct the tea
chers of Delaware. Some of the out
standing educators who spoke were
Henry c. Morrison of the University /
of Chicago; John Brewer, of Har-
ward, and James Hesic of Columbia.
William McAndrew, former Associ-
ate Superintendent of the schools of
New York City, addressed the asso-
citation both days of the convention.

Gym Work In Full Swing

The Physical Education classes
are now being trained by the mass
instruction method, and the stu
dents are being taught neuro-mus-
cular development through the fun
damental natural movements of
running, jumping and throwing.
Foot ball season has been official
ly closed, and the Coach is now on
the lookout for possible basket ball
players. In both the classes of
boys and girls the elements that are
conducive to good basket ball play
ing are being explained. In the low
er grades the boys are being taught
how to play soccer, in the hope that
the training they are now receiving
will help to produce the gridiron
stars of later date. The girls are
playing dodge ball and are display
ing a splendid interest. All of this
training has as its main object, the
instilling of the idea of good sports
manship among the student body, in
the hope that the training they re-
ceive in school along these lines,
will be a guiding influence in their
future life as citizens of our coun-
try.

SCIENCE CLASS
HAS SURPRISE
AIR-PRESSURE SUBJECT FOR
STUDY

Last week in Science class, var
ious experiments were made. The
class was much astonished as to
few of the experiments which SEEM
ed impossible. One of them dealt
chiefly with air. We succeeded in
getting an old paint can with a
small hole in the top. The teacher
put about one glass of water into
the can, without shutting up the
hole. The water was then heated
to a boiling point. AS soon as we re-
moved the fire the cork stopper
was placed in the can for the re-
suits. The class thought that it
would never turn out to be any
thing, but after a few minutes the
can sank in just as if somebody had
taken an axe and chopped on it, be-
cause when the water was boiled, it
was turned to Vapor thus removing
the air in the can. The fire was re-
moved and the stopper placed on.
Then the vapor turned back to wa
ter, leaving no air in the can. Air
pressure is equal to fifteen pounds
to square inch, therefore the air
being so great outside and mo air
inside of the can, the air pressure
just pushed the can in.
The Algebra class has been work.
ing on their units which includes
the book-wOrk. The pupils were to
have test last week on the work,
but Tuesday there was not any
school held leaving only four days
to work in. After the test the class
would have taken up division, yet
on the following week the school
only had two days of school, Tues
day being Armistice Day, and
Thursday and Friday, Teachers
Meeting, thus they could have COM
pleted very little in those two days.
They will have their test next week. |
On Tuesday, November 4, Bank
Day was not held in the Milford |
High School due to the election, but |
on Wednesday the school had Bank
Day. The Freshman girls tied with
the boys, IL to 12.

ENTILATORS
PROTECT HEALTH
OF M. H. 5. PUPILS
Stale Air Withdrawn By
Artificial cans As
Fresh Air Is Forced In.

The Yentilating system of the new
school ranks with the best that can
be found in any school building
within the State of Delaware. No
expense was spared by the building
commission in order that the ventil-
alton might be efficient.
In the winter it would be eXpen-
sive as we'll as inconvenfent and
dangerous to the health of the pu
pills to ventilate by direct methods;
therefore everything has been done
to eliminate this type of ventilation.
Modern throughout, the ventila-
tors are especially interesting to a
visitor. There is a shaft in each of
the small classrooms and two in the
larger ones that extends through
the rooms above and on to the eX-
hause chamber between the ceiling
of the third floor and the roof. All
the shafts from both the rooms and
the halls empty into this place and
the bad air is drawn out in the
open by means of five or six large
natural Ventilators and several
smaller ones on the roof.
In each of the rooms you will no
tice two openings in the shaft COW
cred with steel grating. The stale
air is drawn out through the lower
one, and fresh air forced in through
the upper one. To close the Yentil-
ators a chain is pulled that lifts an
iron plate which exactly fits the
opening in the top. All this takes
care of the ventilation of the halls
and all of the rooms except the
gymnasium and two dressing rooms.
At the back of the building there
are two grated openings which lead
into the two small rooms on either
side of the stage. The fresh air
comes through a large oblong pipe
leading from each hole. Inside
this there is radiator which is us
ed to heat the air ON very cold days |
or when there is a game in the gym
nasium. The heat is turned off or
on by a small hand wheel. If no
change of air is wanted, you can |
cut off the supply altogether by pull
ling a suspended chain that lifts a
damper and stops up the pipe. At
the other end is another opening
through which the air passes into
the auditorium. 1t circulates around
in the room and finally passes out
either of two grated openings op-
posite the stage and is drawn up
the shafts by an exhaust fan to the
roof above. The ventilator5 of the
two dressing rooms are also con-
nected with those in the gymnas-
ium.
The sheet metal and copper hoods
of the ventilators were installed by
C. C. Oliphant and Son of Laurel,
the special heating and
system of the auditor
lum and dressing rooms by John J.
Nesbit, Inc, of Philadelphia and
New York; and the contractors for
The ventilating for the rest of the
building were Palmer and Thack-
cry of Milton, Delaware.

THROUGH THE
WEEK IN THE
SIXTH GRADE
Section Sirty-One Holds
Debate; Section Sixty
tLUO Joins Red Cross.

The percentage or attendance in
the sixth grade for October was:
Boys, 98.7; and girls, 94.5. The
following boys and girls have had
perfect attendance for the term:

Manlove, Florence Johnson, Billy
Sparklin, Willard Robbins, Sheldon
Webb, Wilson Webb, Virgil Wroten,
Henry Wilkins, James Whaley, and
Charles Vibbert.
The. Halloween party of the sixth
grade was quite a spooky affair. The
children came dressed in unique and
comical costumes. The parade
through the first grades was part of
the afternoons fun. Florence Pa
quette recited Little Orphan An
ME" and Betty Manlove "The Night
Wind" The girls put much express
sion into their recitations. After
games and stunts the losing spell
ing team for October served apples
and candy.
Much enthusiasm is shown in sec
tion 81 between the blues" and the
Colds" in the spelling race for No
Vember.
The sixth grade is glad to hear
that Elizabeth Stevens is improv-
ing.
Section 81 of the sixth grade had
an interesting debate. The afirma-
tive won. The question was whe-
ther the plan of living in monster
les in the Middle Ages was a wise
OF, selfish one. saes'
Section 62 of the sixth grade has
Joined the Red Cross. Every child
in the room is a member.
For the fourth consecutive week
section 62 has had 1009o banking.
The reward was Fairy Story
book given by the International
Thrift Society of New York.
The Misses Beatrice and Florence
Johnson, Alma Tease, Florence Pa
quette, Marion Simpson, Margaret
Wintzen, Dot Potter, Lucy Sharp,
Betty ManloVe, Dorothy Lindale,
Betty williamson. Alice Witt, and
Doris Wilkins enjoyed sewing
party at Miss Kitchens home last
evening.

BANKING

We all should boost banking. AL
though Mrs. Rogers, Miss Kitchens
and Miss Watson's rooms received
one hundred per cent in their bank
ing last week, some of the others
had a very low percentage. Mrs.
Nemish's room led at the new
school with eighty-one per cent.
The Lincoln school led the dis
trict with ninety-one per cent;
Houston next with eighty-two per
cent; Milford Grammar with sixty
seven per cent; Milford High with
thirty-four per cent, and Glendale,
with twenty-four per cent.
9 Do you think that we should be
beaten by two such small schools?
Let's have Milford first next week.

MUCH ACTIVITY
IN GLEE CLUBS
Eight To Haze Free Sing
ing Lessons - Double
Cast Planned For Oper-
eta.

For the last few weeks, Miss Cath
cart has been busy attempting to
line up the eight best voices in the
Glee Clubs. Two sopranos, two al
tos, two tenors, and two basses are
to be chosen. These pupils will be
given free voice lessons and will go
to Dover for the first lesson on next
Saturday morning. This is a won
derful opportunity for the boys and
girls who will get this training.
They will be available for solo work
and quartet work for various occa-
sions held during the year when
music is needed.
The Operetta, "Miss Cherry Bios
son." is now well under way, with
work on the choruses in full swing.
AS yet the cast has not been chosen,
but we expect that there will be a
double cast for the plan is to give
two performances, with a different
cast each evening. The idea appeals
to us as giving more of the boys and
girls to show us what they can do,
as we'll as introducing the element
of competition.
Miss Cathcart hopes to have an
Assembly Sing soon for all the
Junior High pupils, some day dur
ing their home-room period which
comes the last hour of the day. The
boys and girls have learned several
unison songs and two-part songs
which they are anxious to put to-
gether, with all the five classes OF
the Junior High.

NEW TEACHER IN
SECOND GRADE
MISS GERALDINE GARRISON

Over in the elementary school
Miss Geraldine Garrison teaches
the first section of the second grade.
Her hands are we'll filled with the
care and instruction of thirty-five
pupils in this grade, but she is full
ly capable and prepared for this
work by her previous education.
Her home is located in Berwick,
Pennsylvania. She attended and
graduated from the local high
school. Thereafter she went to
Bloomsbury, Pennsylvania, and
there entered the Bloomsbury Tea
chers' College. After receiving her
diploma from this college she ac-
cepted a position at Vintondale,
Pennsylvania, as a teacher in the
public school. There she taught for
one year and thence she came to
us.
Miss Garrison likes basket ball.
The enthusiasm for this game orig
mated in her high school days when
she used to play ON her class teams.
She and her roommate seem to en-
joy miniature golf. They have heen
seen on the course several different
times.
This young lady is slim and of
medium height. She has light brown
bobbed hair and a winning nature.
There is no wonder all the children
praise her.
Elizabeth James 81
Milford chronicle., 1930-11-14

you will go away a few moments
will consult my braves" he says
with majestic wave of his hand.
The white man goes from the fire
and when he is called back the
braves have decided to sell him the
land. He departs in satisfaction.
His purpose is accomplished.
A few days later the Indian boys
are talking with their chief. He has
just finished telling them a story
and they, like children, are sitting
silent thinking it over.
"My boys" the chief says, Gin a
few more weeks we are going to
leave the land of the Lenape to
join our brothers, the Iroquois. The
white man brings fire-water and
plaques (small-pox especially with
him. If we do not leave, our race
will soon die. Even the powerful
Susquehannas, the tribe whose men
grow seven feet tall, and who mea-
sure twenty-seven inches around the
cal fof the leg, are beginning to
weaken"
True to the words of the chief, the
Indian tribe was moving northward
into Pennsylvania with all their be-
longings. A few days before they
had buried the bones of their dead
in a new ground because they found
they could not take them along as
was their custom. The heads of
the Indian boys are now hung in
sorrow. Are they never to know the
joy of becoming a brave in the
lodges of their fathers? Has the
great Manitou allowed them to be
whipped and beaten? No, as long as
there are Indians they will not
leave their land.
But though they do not know it
now, there will be no more Indians
in a short time. The only Indians
left in Delaware are the Conesto-
gas, a branch of the Susquehanna
tribe. Before long these Indians
are murdered in a Lancaster Jail
where they have been sent "for pro-
lection" Their chief, Logan, the
greatest of the Delaware Mingoes,
tells the white man in dignifed, but
passionate eloquence, how he
mourns for his people; but in the i
heart of the white man there is no
pity, and Logan is forced to flee to
Ohio there to mourn alone for his
people. At last, he too, is murder
ed. The last of the Delaware Min
goes is gone, the noblest of the bra |
vest tribe; the last of the nation |
that came here seeking fairer
land.
AS the Greeks were overcome by
the Romans, as the Romans were
by the Gauls, as Eng
land overcame the Spanish, so the |
Indians perished by the hands of !
those whom they befriended.

Spelling Contest

The boys. and girls of group 50
are having a contest in spelling.
The girls are a little ahead of the
boys but they are both getting along
rapidly. Every time either one of
the sides make 1000 it counts two
points. When they make an aver
age between $50 and 1000 it
counts one point. Jean Richardson
is captain of the girls and Thurman
Short captain of the boys. The con-
test ends in December. At the end
the losing side will have to plan
surprise for the winning side.
In room 80 there are two new pu-
pills, Isabelle Hunt and Wilbur War
ner, making a total of As pupils.
Mrs. Harrington has pictures
along the wall of accidents occur

School Savings Grow

Higher and higher the sum of the
school savings mounts! 1t is now
$30741. Mr.. McGinnes' room was
in the lead this week, having depos-
tied $3.50. Miss Kinder's and Mrs.
Nemesh's rooms had the highest
percentage of pupils to deposit, hav-
ing 500 for each. The Sophs, Jun
iors, and Seniors are doing better
than before, but are still sadly be-
hind the other grades.
