MILFORD BEATEN
IN EXCITING GAME

Milford journeyed to Frankford on
Tuesday and was beaten to Z. The
playing was not characteristic of
the Milford boys, as they did not
seem to have any heart for playing
in the first half. The Frankfort
team scored touchback in the sec
ond quarter and soon afterward
scored touchdown, which with
their extra point, made the score 8
to 0 at the half.
In the second half the Milford
gang seemed to have decided it was
time for them to wake up. They
marched down the field for a touch
down and made the extra point. The
game ended before a further score
could be made.
Theodore GovatOs, our quarter
back, was hurt twice. Once when
he tackled a man he had the wind
knocked out of him. Again he was
cut behind the ear with a spike.
The regular lineup played al.
though there were several substitu.
tions lasting for a few minutes dur
ing the game. Carl Strahle played
in place of A. Sapp during one quar-
ter. Ben Manlove took T. Thistle
woods position for one quartes
Postles and Reed took turns at
right half, Reed playing the first
half and Postles the second.
This game ended our foot ball
season for this year.

DO YOU KNOW
THE SCHOOL SONG?!

Once again here as schoolmates as.
sembled
We fain would lift our hearts in
song,
To our High School, our dear Alma
Mater
May gladness her moments prolong.
We are proud of our lads and our
lasses
OF honors won in days gone by
So here's a cheer to our old High
School
To our old High School, Old Milford
High.
CHORUS
Here's to our classes
Here's to our lasses,
Here's to the lads they adore.
Here's to our Seniors so mighty
Juniors so flighty
Freshies and "Sophomores!'
va! Bo!
Let mirth and gladness Danish all
sadness
And as the years go by
You'll find us ready and steady
ready and steady
for Milford High.
II.
Soon for us will the school days be
ended
The days of youth that fade so fast
But we know that the heart oft will
ponder
In memory DER scenes that are
past.
There are joys that will long be re-
membered
And friendships too that ne'er can
die.
Then here's a cheer to our old High
School.
To our old High School, Old Milford
High.
Freshmen, how many of you
know this song? If not, get busy
and learn it, for one of these days
we'll be singing it in an assembly
and you won't want to be conspicu-
GUS because Of your ignorance.

PLEASES ALL
MISS ELSIE BAKER

In the vicinity of Laurel, Della
ware, one of our rival towns, Miss
Baker was born, and there she has
lived ever since. AS a member of
the class of '26 she graduated from
Laurel High School. In the follow
ing fall she attended the WOmcn's
College at Newark, Delaware. After
four years of study there she grad
uated in 1880.
This is her first year Of teaching,
but that isn't any sign of inexperi-
ence. All of us who eat here at
school can vouch for her skillful
planning and her tasty dishes serv-
ed at the noon hour. Besides being
in charge of the cafeteria she
teaches Home Economics in the sew
enth and eighth grades. My, what
advantages they get nowadays.
Miss Baker is very blond and has
quiet, unobtrusive manner. She,
nevertheless, is good-natured at all
times.

credit issued until the colony had
the approval of the King; for it was
a law at that time that all acts must
be sent to the crown and if they
were not disallOwed within six
months they were to remain in full
force and effect. The new governor
called an Assembly and when 1t ad
iourned an act had been passed au-
thorizing the issuance of $4,000
more to be lent on mortgage. Men
were elected from each county to
sign these bills and were paid for
their service. AS the years passed
new acts were passed, new signers
were elected. During the Revolu
ton some of the principal men of
the colony became Tories and new
bills had to be made. At the same
time Continental bills of credit
came into circulation which were
passed by the Continental Congress.
These were used to pay off mort
cages and soon the Delaware Bills
of Credit were left outstanding with
none of the original security behind
them. During the year 1777 the
English took New Castle and all the
public records were removed. Some
time later some of them were found
in the State of South Carolina and
returned to the State. From these
records we learn that in 1880 the
Continental Bills ceased to be legal
tender in Delaware and in 1881 ev-
EN- the Delaware Bills were not leg
al tender. In 1885 all Delaware
Bills were surrendered and this
meant their entire withdrawal from
circulation. Soon after the New Ma
tional Government with Hamilton
at the helm made the use of paper
money both unnecessary and impos-
sible.

I. ON PROGRAM OF
D.S.E.A. MEETING
p. M. HerbGrt VIII Ad-
dress Section Meetings
And General Session.

With the engagement of Professor
James F. Hesic as one of the speak
ers at the annual convention of the
Delaware State Teachers AssOcia-
tiOn meeting in Newark, the field of
elementary education as well as
primary will receive the attention
desired by educators in that field.
Mr.. Hesic, who is associated with
the School of Education at Colum-
bia University, is outstanding in his
work. He is now editor of the Edu-
cational Method, journal for pub
lie schools.
He organized the National Coun-
Gil of Teachers of English and is
the author of numerous books and
treatises on that subject. He is a
prominent member of the National
Association of Elementary School
Principals. His presence at the
conference at Newark is being con-
sidered with more than passing
favor by educators throughout the
State, especially those who are anx-
ious to give this important field OF
education further consideration at
the annual meeting.
Professor Hesic, who is also
chairman of the Department of Su-
pervisors and Directors of Instruc-
tion will bring to the convention
note of helpfulness and enthusiasm.

fluence upon the creative thinking
of the teachers throughout the
world.

cure Wilderness of Education" Dr..
Herbart, former Superintendent of
Schools, Director of Teacher Train
ing, a Prineipaleof q State Normal
School, is now professor of Educa-
tion at Franklin and Marshall COLI
lege, Lancaster. His wide expert
ence qualities him very well to talk
on proper articulation from the
viewpoint of the teacher, supervisor
and superintendent. Ever since Her
bart gave the world his five formal
steps in teaching, teachers have a
slightly different and better organ
lied viewpoint of the work of
teaching.
Education is not fixed thing. 1t
cannot be captured in neat def
milton as will be shown by Profess
sor William Taylor, Dean of the
School of Education at the Univer-
sity of Kentucky. He will address

the Vocational Education, is coop
Grating with the Association in lay
ing plans for this important dis
cussion work.
DR.. Fred w. Maroney, although !
holding degree of M. D., from the
leading medical schools of the coun- !
try has been identified through his |
whole career with Health Educa-
tion. His message is one of energy,
and optimism. DR.. Ma
roney, who is the President of Ar
mold College at New Haven, Connec-
ticut, is to address the sessions on
both days at the Convention.

A member of the School Board
watched the way in which the Mil
ford High School marched in to
their Assembly Hall. After he had
seen the school march, he said: ".Of
all the schools in Delaware that I
have been in, Milford's High School
marches the worst to an Assembly"
Now Freshmen, Sophomores, jun
iors and Seniors, we cannot let any
one say that about us. We have a
beautiful school building and all OF
the best opportunities. The Fresh
men have decided to take an hour
or so to practice their marching in
to the Assembly Hall, and, of course
it wouldn't be a bad idea for the
other high school classes to prac-
tice their marching.

The Latin class under Miss Tat
man has been studying the vocabu-
laries, the application of Latin to
English, the declension of nouns,
pronouns, and adjectives. The SEN
der of nouns is also being studied
by the class. This seems to be more
difficult to the pupils, as the end
ings Of the neuter nouns change
their form very much from the
nouns or pronouns. But after the
class had studied on the various
lessons during the week they came
along fine.

there are aristocrats among the broad
casters whose programs get over to the

portunities are recognized, while others
are not so successful"
Crossley, Inc, headed by A. NJ. Cross
ley, is conducting radio survey princi-
paliy at the behest OF the National Ad-
vertisers, Inc, which latter organiza-
ton is sponsoring the survey. Forty
seven members of the association have
provided about SIS, 900 to make the
study, and Crossley. Inc, has few
private clients outside of the aSsocia-
ton.
The survey Is being conducted with
representatives in the principal broad
cast centers of the country, listening
TO all manner of radio programs and
through missionaries, which so far
have gone out to $4,000 and will have
been presented to 10000 when the year s
survey Is completed.
The principal question asked radio
listeners, of course, is whether they have
consciously bought anything as q result
Of radio advertising. The QUESTIONABLE
asked that product be named If the
answer is yes. Mr.. Karol reported that
about rs per cent Of those questioned
answered in the affirmative and named
products. Little, he said, is to be gained
so far from those answers, various
factors entering into the final analysis
of this phase of the survey.
There Is. however, he said. no doubt
In the minds of those conducting the
survey that the radio listener does not
want to hear advertising and salesman
ship from the loudspeaker in his home.
The surveyors have found that this

message across to the listener Is solved

You have recognized that RESPONSE

the vigilance agencies which you have
set up 70 safeguard the general reputa-

Iawrence's Speech.
Called upon by the advertisers to
interpret the meaning OF last Tues
days election in terms of current bust
ness, Mr., Lawrence said, In part:
The simple answer might be that
both political parties are equally In
terested in developing for this coun-
try return of prosperity. and hence
that nothing win be done to injure
legitimate industry. But If there should
be difference Of opinion between Con-
greS5 and the Executive as to whether
a piece of legislation is harmful to bust
ness and If 1t should 60 to the White
House for action, it is we'll to bear In
mind that the President of the United
States can. If he likes, exercise the veto
power. Republicans and Democrats, for
the most part, are just the same under
the skin. Announcement Of the leaders
OF both parties that they desire an era
of cooperation is significant.
1T doe not mean that these political
leaders have suddenly become imbued
with desire to be non-partisan It does
mean that these political leaders are
responsive to what they know 70 be O

the Government to function smoothly
