commissioners and commends in ev-
cry way their disposition to improve
the streets and alleyways and make
them more safe to travel.
Fish and Oysters
Our town market has been very
we'll supplied with fish. The size Of
most of them is very small. 1t seems
a pity to catch such fish (mOstly
perch) that the average size is no
much larger than a big minnow
Better let them remain in the waters
of the creeks, where they will grow
and in a little while will become
something worth while when yoU
catch them.
Oysters are thing of the past
since the State Board of Health has
prevented men from catching them
for sale from several of the creeks
There is none to be had.

School Notes
The Parent-Teacher Association
representing the several districts
which compose the public schools of
Glendale are to be commended in
the grand work which the members
are accomplishing in bringing our
school prominently before the pub
lie.
The monthly meetings which are
generally well attended by the peo-
pie Interested in the schools, added
to this is the fine entertainments
which are rendered monthly, makes
the whole feature one of extreme
pleasure.
The officers of the P. T. A. are an
intelligent body Of women, who are
up-to-date in every respect and are
willing and determined to make the
standard of the P. T. A. Of Ellen
dale second to none.
The class in music which meets
each Monday night in the auditor
ium is under the tuition Of Mr.. Hud-
son of Milford, and is largely at
tended, both by those who wish to
sing and those who wish to learn 20
perform on instruments of different
kinds. Mr.. Hudson, the teacher, is
musician Of long standing, which is
shown in the quick way in which
classes advance under his tuition.
The handicraft class under the
care of Mrs. Farley of Georgetown,
seems to be going forward by leaps
and bounds. The many fine things
which her pupils are showing after
receiving such a few lessons are
almost beyond comprehension.
The footstools, baskets, vases and
other beautiful things that is COM
ing from their hands would indicate
such work as could only be accom-
plished by a model workman.
These are wonderful days for the
children of Delaware who attend the
sessions which are held daily in the
public schools and with the trained
CORPS of teachers which are dissem-
mating a food of knowledge which
the most illiterate can learn if they
wish.
This is not the day when those
who have refused to receive what
the State has to give them, and ex-
pect to march in the front ranks
with the educated forces now exist
ing. No, there is no excuse for any
Oneto be illiterate, when the State !
with its high schools in the larger |
towns and its grammar schools in
The smaller ones offer to all who
will apply, an education for the sim
pie asking.
The supper and entertainment
which was held on Friday evening
If last week was a complete sue
Tess from every standpoint, and
ihows conclusively that the P. T. A.
# Glendale is held in high esteem
y the people at large by the large
which was present. The
elp extended by the good people Of
lover in furnishing the orchestra
nd took other parts in the enter
was duly appreciated and
ill not soon be forgotten. Receipts
to about sixty dollars !
rere received and will be used in ]
tearing up some back debts which
le association owes.
Thanks is hereby extended to ev-
ryone who helped to make the I'M
success.
The public schools were closed
4 Friday last. The principal and l
achers attended a banquet and an {
lal meeting Of the Sussex County '
eachers Association at Georgetown.
