Lincoln School

Christmas is a wonderful time for
projects and offers boundless OppOr-
tunity for the presentation of inval-
liable lessons. In grades 1 and 2,
Mrs. Morris read the story of the
first Christmas, given n the gospel
of Luke. Many repetitiOns were ask
ed for re-reading. One day a child
brought her own Bible and asked to
read to the group. She read it un-
haltingly and a feeling of real iden-
tification with it. After such an eX-
perience it is not surprising that we
began to carry the interest and spir-
it Of this experience into other
fields and to seek its portrayal in
other forms. Pictures of the first
Christmas have been brought in.
This growth of experience was, in
deed, expression in itself. 1t receiv-
ed an added impetus in sandtable
reproduction of the first Christmas.
Far away to the East, across sandy
desert, leaving behind them the lux
uriant palms and cool green grass
of the oasis come the Wise Men as
of old. In stately file they ride on
camels. Before them the sand of
the desert leads away into softly
blended green plains, then to gently
rolling hills and sloping valleys.
Upon these hills in the dew of the
evening the shepherds herd their
hocks. While over the little town of
Bethlehem there hangs golden
star. In Bethlehem the star pauses
low over a humble brown manger.
Intently we have worked solving
problems and learning technique
that our scene might tell the story
more truly. Again and again we
were compelled to decide such ques-
tions as: Through what kind of
country were the Wise Men travel
ing? What did the desert with its
oasis look like? How can we draw
palm trees? What did the shepherds
Why don't our houses look
like the houses of those days? Sum-
med up we can decidedly say this
has been one of our most successful
units.
Grades l and have organized
health club and are known officially
as the Sunshine Boys and Girls.
Details will be worked out and i'm
following the holidays we
hope to work along definite lines
and try out certain units.

SeLbyUiUe School

The basket ball season il here.
Twenty candidates have answered
Coach Timmon's call. OF this num-
Der only four are letter men. Thus
you realize that most of the mater
ial is inexperienced. However, some
of these boys have given a good ac-
count of themselves and much can
be expected in the future.
Turner, a candidate for a guard
position, has done well in practice
and it is most likely that he will
see action in many games this win
ter. James, playing at center, has
greatly improved his game and like
ly will get i'll some of the games.
Were it not for his size, Stevens, a
candidate for forward, would make
many guards fret. 1t is most unfor-
tunate that Long, because of injur-
les to his legs, was forced to with
draw from basket ball as he was
well built and rather tall, he would
have been of great service i'm the
future.
The opening game of the seaSon
will be played Friday night, Gecem-
Der ~, against w. c. l. at the Sell
byville Theatre. The lineup at the
start of the game most likely will
be Lekites and Lynch, forwards;
Gray and Richards, guards, with
Bunting at the pivot position.
The girls basket ball team this
season is expected to be better
than it has been for the last three
years. The girls are taking more
than the usual interest and are
working harder to make the team.
We have lost only two players and
have four new ones.
Delaphine Evans is captain this
year and Paul Timmons is the
coach.
The senior class is going through
its final week of practice for its
annual play. The play is to be Civ
en- on Thursday evening, December
18 at the Selbyville Theatre at 8
O'Clock The proceeds will go to-
ward the class trip in the spring.
This year the play is cinderella

Greenwood School

The meeting of the p. r. A. has
been postponed until Monday eve
ming, December %, in order to in
clude a Christmas program which is
being arranged for by the school.
The program will be varied and will
consist of two or three numbers
from each room. This arrangement
relieves any one teacher of the task
of preparing the whole program
and adds to the interest of greater
number of parents and children.
There will be an admission charge
of 10 cents and Is cents for chill
dren and adults respectively
The Greenwood, school building
commission met with the State
Board of Education in Dover on
Friday afternoon and approved the
final plans for our new JuniOr-Sen-
ior High School building. Bids are
to be advertised at once, and we
hope to see work begun shortly af-
ter the new year.
Christmas trees have appeared in
almost all the elementary grades
rooms already. The children derive
much pleasure from decorating
these trees during the ten days be-
fore the holidays.
Mr.. Fensinger, assistant State
Forester, visited our school on
Monday to inquire about the TefOr-
estation project which was under
taken by three of our boys last
spring. They set out several thou
sand trees and were successful in
saving between 500 and 1870 of
them in spite of the drought of last
summer. There were only five boys
in the State who undertook the
work. Three of these are from
Greenwood, namely: Milton Fike,
Ralph Fike and Charles Dearman.
They hope to win the All Club
Scholarship, which entities them to
a course at the University OF Della
ware next summer.
The banquet which the firemen
gave to our soccer team on Wednes-
day evening, December 5, was a
great success. Nearly 200 guests
were present. Mr.. Grassmyer, our
science teacher, as tOastmaster,
proved to be a very efficient one.
His program, as follows, was quite
unique, we think:
Soccer Game, December 3, 1880.
The Kickoff, tOastmaster

Fullback, w. s. Lord, president of
board of trustees.

ELLendaIe School

The Parent-Teacher Association
of Ellendale has been engaged in a
grand work of late, not only in i'm
proving the looks of the auditorium
of the school building, but in pur-
chasing cedars to decorate and
beautify the grounds attached to the
public school buildings.
Some time back the association
purchased a piano and comfortable
chairs for the auditorium, and now
in the purchasing of the 80 cedars
for decorative purposes, they have
added new lustre to the fame of the
P. r. A. of Glendale, who are all
ready noted for doing things.
The public generally should take
delight in helping to bring to sue
cess any undertakings which this
band of workers should be engaged
in.
Parents of children who attend
the public schools, should feel it a
duty to attend the several meetings
held during the year by the P. T. A.
and thereby keep track of the ad-
vance in the methods now being
used in the training of the minds of
the young and older scholars, and
in fitting and qualifying them for
the life which is before them.
Yes, the P. T. A. of Glendale
should have at all times your help
whenever needed.
Mrs. Charles S. Adkins has been
substituting for Mrs. E. r.. Wilson,
one of our teachers, who has been
absent owing to the sickness and
death of her mother, Mrs. Ida V.

School Notes Of Interest To Everyone

The candle holders are completed.
The primary pupils even dipped
their own candles. Did they enjoy
it? You could have told by their
beaming faces. The holders are red
and the candles green.
The primary pupils are recOgniz-
ed as the savings blue ribbon rooms
as the result of having 1000 in
banking.
Miss Heath's pupils are doing a
commendable piece of work in the
construction of Santa Claus castle.
This project claims beauty and play
of imagination, for its potent assets.
Details of the castle constructed
from oatmeal and cracker boxes and
plastered with a dazzling white, SUI
gary substance.
Stepping stones of sugar plums
form the path and the gateway is
made of two candy canes. The gar
den has therein trees that bear can
dy. From the castle roof floats pen
nants of Merry Christmas and San
Ia Claus.
Grades and almost retained
the blue ribbon banking card as
only one pupil did not deposit.
Miss Heath's pupils will make the
notices for the December meeting of
the P. n. A.
Grades 5 and 6, under the COM
petent direction of Mrs. Warren
have finished their vases. 1t is a
project of which to be proud. 1t
has meant hard work but now
comes the enjoyment of having
completed a worthwhile unit.
No words can do justice and eX-
press the beauty of the naturalistic
winter scenes depicted with brush
and color made by the 5th and 9th
grade pupils. Their Christmas cards
too are just beautiful. They GER
tainly will have to do some plan
ming to make their January art !
work excel their December work.
We so often think they are at their
peak but we can never tell what or
iginal ideas these grades can pro-
duce.
The boys of Prof. Ruth's room are |
proving themselves worthy of the |
term Manual Training Workers. Re-
suits of their work can certainly be
observed. Chairs are being fixed,
windows repaired and many other
duties have been performed.
The fire extinguishers are being
reflled and the theory of their Op-
have been discussed and
are fully understood. Live situations
is the strongest motive needed for
real learning.
Grades Z and are in the midst
of an interesting art project. Les
sons involving symmetry, rhythm,
and color value are the .
of a unit chat includes
the making and designing piece of
pottery. Mr.. Ruth laid stress upon
the fact that line and proportion
are all important and as a preface
to the work a conscientious study
was made of the shapes of different
kinds of pottery in order to under
stand what constitutes lsgOod form.
Profiles were analyzed and it was
observed that these must have
pleasing curve and that an interest
ing and satisfactory relation must
exist between height and width.
Several drawings were made by
each pupil and the best chosen for
4 pattern. This furnishes an excel
lent opportunity for apply the prin-
ciples of design to a definite pro-
iect.
Kindly be reminded that the De-
1ember meeting of the Lincoln
Home and School Association will
De held Wednesday, December II at
1870. A very good program is being
planned.

The most effective way Of dealing
with sheep-killing dogs is through
legislation rigidly enforced. Proper
legislation greatly reduces losses OF
live stock, danger OF rabies, and at
the same time protects licensed
dogs. Many States have enacted
good dog laws, but some States still
have practically no regulations con-
trolling the dog.
