education and training derived from
such vocational courses as aSricul-
ture. home economics and manual
training offered in our high school
should be given to every student,
Professor G. l.. SchuStcr, aSrOnOmlst
of the University Of Delaware, gave
the advantages that youths now
have to become better educated than
their dads and the reasons why cv-
cry boy and girl should avail him
self of those opportunities. William
