LOCAL TEACHERS
VISIT TRENTON
Inspect NeIU S2,5OO,OOO
Senior High School

Mr.. Boston and Mr.. McGinnis Wis
tied the Trenton, N. j., schools ON
Tuesday of last week. They were
both delighted with the results OBJ
tanned from their visit.
They met City Superintendent
Brickett, who gave them general in
formation. They were then turned
over to Mr.. Walter Short, Director
of Physical Education in the Tren-
ton Schools. Mr.. Short is a native
of Georgetown, Delaware. He atten-
ded school with DR.. Oliver James
and Mr.. Louder Hearn. Mr.. Short
conducted them through the school
system and explained to them the
various things in which they were
interested. They saw Science and
History classes and then watched a
swimming class. They had lunch in
one of the Junior High School cafe
terias as guests of Miss Dunno
principal of the school, The New
Trenton Senior High School will be
opened next September and cost
$2,5O0,OOO.
quote Mr.. Boston as saying, at
seems that the finest work in Tren-
ton is being done in the Junior
High Schools. instruction in Senior
High School and attitudes in Senior
High Schools seem to be very SINH
lar to our own. l have never seen
more wholesome and purposeflIl ac-
tivity than was going on in school
No. under the direction of Miss
Dunno. Work done by Miss Dunno
in Junior High School to develop
school spirit is very noticeable. Tn
der her was organized a courtesy
society which functioned perfectly.
Such an organization would be a
vast benefit to any school system. It
shows a whole-hearted school spirit
and a feeling of goodwill between
teachers and pupils. Such cOndi-
tiOns as this should exist in any
school before high educational at
tainments can be accomplished"

NATIONAL SWINE
SHOW GOES TO
SPRINGFIELD, I'LL.

CrestOn, Ia, Feb. 10--SelectiOn of
Springfield, ILL.,, as the site for the
1881 National Swine Show was an
nounced today by Arden d. Mckee
Of Creston, Iowa, president of the
National Swine Growers Association
which sponsors this annual log
classic. The show will be held
from August % to 20 in connection
with the Illinois State Fair.
This will be the sixteenth annual
swine show and the first one ever
held in Springfield, Mr.. Mckee stat
ed. More than 400 exhibitors are ex-
pected, which indicates that the
event will be even greater in scope
than any of those in the past, he
said. The hog barns at the fair
grounds will be completely remodel
cd and made up to date in every re-
spect. The agreement with the Ill
inois State Fair provides that the
swine show will be held in Spring
field again next year.
In the past the show has been
limited to live animals only, but this
year, according to information made
public by George NJ. Cantrall, of
Shenandoah, Ia, general manager,
it will include an educational ex-
hibit of finished pork and pork pro-
ducts, thus providing complete
picture of pork from farm to table.
Another outstanding new feature
will be a hog judging contest for
college students. A number of col
leges already have indicated their
intention of entering teams.
The first National Swine Show
was held in 1916 at Omaha and since
that time it has been a constantly
growing influence for the improve
ment of hog production, Mr.. Can
trail pointed out. It brings together
the prize winners in the swine Ci-
vision at all of the principal live
stock expositions and fairs of the
United States and it is truly the
high court in selecting the years
best in hogs.
Officers and directors of the show
are as follows: President. Arden D.

HOLLAND HOUSE
BUILT IN l763
Five Families Sheltered
BIZ Beautiful Old Home

Tho beautiful mansion, the home
of the late Joseph Holland, which
occupies the conspicuous triangle in
our town at the intersection of
South Walnut street and Causey
avenue is the Oldest house in South
Milford. II was built by Levin Crop
per, the original proprietor of South
Milford and the surrounding lands,
in 1868. At the time he built it
Cropper was considered the wealth
lest man in Sussex county. OF course
man owning so much land at that
time had to have servants, so Mr..
Cropper built the little houses which
still can be seen around the build
ing for his slaves.
Governor Daniel Rogers, the 18th
Governor of Delaware, purchased
the property from CrOpper. He died
in 1906 and was buried on the farm.
The next owner of the mansion was
Louder Layton, a noted merchant.
The house was in the Layton family
for many years and then Peter +.
Causey bought it. Mr.. Causey was
the 38th Governor of Delaware be-
sides being a well-knOwn business
man.
Within recent years the house
has again changed hands. This time
it was purchased by Joseph Hol-
land, well-knOwn Democrat and
business man.
The beautiful old home, which has
been the scene of many hOspitable
gatherings, has changed but little.
The late Mrs. J. e. Holland, an en-
thusiastic gatherer of antiques,
wished to furnish the house with
furniture suitable for the architec-
ture, even going so far as to furnish
the slave houses.
Ever since Cropper built the
house it has been the show place Of
South Milford. At present. it is for
sale. We hope that the future own
er, whoever he may be, will keep up
the dignity and traditions of this old
estate.

INDIAN STUDIES
CREATE INTEREST
Interesting Art Project In Fifth
Grade

The Indian Art Project depicting
in two scenes the lives of the Pueblo
and the tent Indians, which for the
past two months has been correlat-
ed with the geography and history
work in Miss WatsOn's section of
the fifth grade, was completed this
week and is an interesting repre-
sentation of the pupils arS work.
Although only one period each week
has been devoted to this work, it
has created a real live interest
among the pupils.
The Pueblo scene built upon a
foundation of southern sand is made
up of a two story Pueblo with lad
derS; oxen and cart, all constructed
out of cardboard and then painted; a
bake oven and kiva moulded out of
clay. The Indian figures which were
made by using clothes pins and
crepe paper help to make the scene
quite realistic.
The tent Indian scene built upon
a foundation of artificial grass with
a painted mountain scenery as a
background consists of two tents,
trees, and Indian figures.
Two instructive booklets "The In
dian of Today" and "The Indian of
Long Ago" were compiled from pic
lures and clippins which were col
lected during the reference reading
periods.
Pupils who deserve special men
tiOn in carrying out this project are
Viola Meredith, Florence Tease,
Marjorie Faix, Jean Grier, Dorothy
Pierce, Jean and Marjorie Mulhol-
land, Barbara Marshall, Alice Har-
rington, Elizabeth Hamilton, Billy
McLOughrey, Eugene Burton. Floyd

A MAN, AND A VIOLIN
A Riddle

He is a tall man and lie wears a
corduroy cap. His eyes are blue and
look at you from behind silver RIM
med spectacleS. He talks in rather
u high pitched voice and what he
can tell with that voice might fill
many pages. Ever since he was fif-
teen years old he has followed one
profession and that is where the vio-
lin comes in. Only it is not one viO-
lin, but many. His profession is
making and repairing viOlins. 1t is
an honorable one, for not many men
can make violins or repair them, and
there should be much glory and
game in that position. The man has
studied under Cheyney and Metcalf,
who taught him much of what he
knows. He worked for them while
he was a boy living in Pennsylvania,
where he was born. Since that time
he has made seven complete viOlins
and repaired numberless ones. He
has in his possession violin made
by Luther in Paris in 1886. Anyone
can see that that instrument is
WOl I'll d SOOu ulb vi lllOAlSJs
When you ask that man if he
would rather repair a violin than
any other instrument, he says, yes,
of course he would. The violin, of
all musical Instruments, is the most
expressive. There is no other that
can give such a variety of express
sion. None can tell so well the
depth of feeling in the person that
plays it. 1t brings forth music SUI
preme. Ask the man if that is so,
and he will say you are right. He
will also tell you that. although the
violin seems to be made of just
plain wood it is not nearly that
simple. He will tell you that the
back of the violin is made of maple
wood. and the front of yellow
spruce. The trees that this wood is
cut from must be cut in December
when there is no sap, and the south
side Of the tree must always be us
ed.
Perhaps the reader has already
guessed who this man is. His name
is Ralph Stevens and he lives with
Mr.. Purnell Potter on Second
street in this town. Mr.. Stevens does

Hickey Has Whip Hand in Loop Dispute
Annual Campaign to Unseat As.
sociation Head Seems
Doomed to Failure

Chicago, Nov. 17.-(P)-President
Thomas J.. Hickey of the American
Association Tuesday faced what
seemed to be an annual campaign tc
unseat him, but apparently with the
advantage on his side.
Club owners of the association, one
of the three AA circuits, were in
Chicago for the annual meeting, and
the big item on the business sched-
ule concerned Hickey'S tenure of Of
flee. The Hickey forces claimed four
votes as certain, which would be suf-
ficient to keep him in the office he
had held for 18 years. His principal
opposition was expected to come from
hackers of George Belden, president
of the Minneapolis club.
Belden stood out as possibility
because of reports Mike Kelley
present manager of the Millers, might
be elevated to the presidency of the
club, and that DOME Bush, who pilot
ed the Chicago White Sox during the
1880 and 1881 campaigns, would as
sumo Kelley's job. Other possibilities
were Joe Carr, president of the Ma
tional Professional Football League
and William Clauer, former secretary
Of the Indianapolis club.
The American Association also had
the problem of doing something about
its Toledo franchise. The Toledo club
finished the season in deep financial
trouble and the franchise may be
moved. Schedule making will be de-
ferred until the club owners meet al
the West Baden convention.
