School Notes
The first month of the Millsboro
school proved to be more than a
mere success. Though $40 children
Ire enrolled, the organization of the
system, the cooperation of the
.eachers and the splendid spirit of 1
he children made everything work J
n harmony and order, regardless
If the crowded conditions. Consider
ng the busy time of year and a {
vhOOping cough epidemic, the Sep {
ember attendance was remarkably 7
,ood-the per cent of attendance in 2
,rades being "a, while that of the Y
Ugh school was So. The second
.rade room, taught by Mrs. Hilda ]
ones, led in attendance, making 80 a
er cent, while the sixth grade was {
he only room in school that fell l
Glow 80 per cent. n
Earnest school work was done
rom the very beginning, proving n
hat it is not necessary to waste a
me getting starte5. Further efforts v
ere also made to reduce home
5udy, especially in the lower grades O
here directed study is so essential "
nd where there is great danger of
lie parents doing the work for the s
nildren instead of teaching them f,
ow to do it. In other words, it is
fought best that the teachers teach il
5 well as hear the recitations. En- p
hasis is being placed on directed
udy and an effort is being made to w
i've each pupil individual encour- p.
cement and guidance in all his
arning activities so that he may r.
scome self-reliant and efficient in
S intellectual pursuits. Of course, eI
is does not mean that no home q
ork is assigned. But it does mean
at as far as possible any home RI
signment grows out of class work
ready taught, and is a continual at
IN of this work, or the further ap- NJ
ication of PRINCIPLES which the nj
lid thoroughly understands.
Some important extra curricular ed
me new equipment for the home a.
complishments during the month nv
ere as follows: The securing OF da
onomics department, the placing
reading tables in the lower in
AIDES, the purchasing of a large th
ow-case, the making of book cas-
procuring a piano, converting

Last Friday evening the auditor pa
n was crowded w!+h Interested got
irons who had come out to attend vii
, first school program of the sea- lig
l. After an Interesting program dra
S rendered by the children, in or
ich each grade participated, the at

ised to some length. 1t was un- Gag
mously decided to plant shrub SUI
