We then went up on an upper
floor. Here we saw large sheets Of
red wax. When Mr.. Mitten noticed
the number of questioning looks, he
began 70 explain to us about this
wax. He told us that this was used
when people bought tooth brush
they were given piece of this wax
to bite on. This would show them
the print of the persons teeth and
enable him to know what kind OF
tooth brush was suitable for him to
use.
After seeing all these things we
began to wonder and talk among
ourselves. We had no idea this
building was so large or that so
much work was carried on.
We went into large room where
we were shown small bottles, one
containing pure silver, another
which contained metal. We were
allowed to take these bottles in our
hands and observe them.
Then we went over and saw a
large machine which was making
shavings and filings of alloy.
We were told that there are only
two places in the United States
that have private postofices OF their
own. The other one besides the
Caulk Laboratory is the Sears, Roe
buck & Co. We should feel proud.
Mr.. Mitten then called our atten-
ton to small cup which was used
in a very hot fire for melting pur-
poses. 1t had small piece of plat
mum around it which cost seventy
five hundred dollars. This was the
only metal that could be used in
such intense heat.
Many of us think that the dentist
uses silver for the filings in our
teeth, but it is not silver, it is al
10y.

What Our Faculty
Learned Last Week
At Their Convention
Addressed BY Angelo Patri On
Saturday

Have you ever longed to tell your
teachers just where they are wrong,
that they don't understand you, that
you aren't really so stupid as they
think, and many more similar
things? Then it would have done
you good to listen to the various
distinguished men from many parts
of the country who did just that at
the annual meeting of the D. S. E.
A., held in Dover on November 13
and IA.
Because frequently teachers are
tempted to think that gymnasium
classes and athletic practices take
too much of the pupils time, Mr.
Carl Schrader, director of health
and physical education in Massa-
chusetts, talked to various groups of
teachers at different times. Some of
his most interesting remarks were:
That games are of equal Importance
with lessons; that boys and girls
need to be taught to play; that
school days should be longer; that
youth has too much spending mon
ey; that winning is not always i'm
portant; and girls should not take
part in inter- scholastic activities.
The last statement was made before
Mr.. Schrader knew about our girls
basketball tournament; but after
being told of the situation in Della
ware he still held the same opin-
ion.
By far the most humorous and
most optimistic speaker of the con-
vention was DR.. Ernest w. Butter
field, Commissioner of Education,
Connecticut. 1t would have delight
ed many parent to hear him ex-
plain to the teachers that it was not
for them to try to change the par
ents or TO blame them either, since
undoubtedly every parent sends the
very best children he or she has to
school for the teacher to make or
break.
Generally speaking teachers feel
the same way about attending insti
tute that boys feel about staying af-
ter school, but last Friday afternoon
there was standing room only in the
auditorium of the Dover High
School when Mr.. Cameron Beck,
personnel director of the New York
Stock Exchange, spoke. His topic
was "Inculcation of Character" not
very interesting you might say.
Perhaps not if discussed by some
one else. Starting off with humor-
GUS remark about stock market tips,
to the effect that a good buy" may
also be a goodbye" this enthusi-
astic and rapid-tire speaker contin-
ued rapidly for half an hour re-
hearsing incidents in his career of
fifteen years in the Stock Exchange
that has convinced him that the boy
who is truthful, honest, clean, cour-
teous and punctual will probably !
succeed. Among other things Mr..
Beck told every teacher it was part |
of her duty to remind her pupils
that cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" even to the extent of calling |
attention to dirty fingernails, smud-
ging faces and necks, and uncombed |
hair. Please don't make that neces-
sary, though!
Milford chronicle., 1931-11-20

On the third floor we went into 6
large room, there we saw u large
furnace where this synthetic films
is melted. Sometimes this furnace
is heated to three thousand degrees
These great vats that are used fol
melting can be used only once be-
cause of the intense heat.
This synthetic filling is GROUND
ana when 1t has finished going
through this process it is seven or
eight times JineI than even the I'm
est face powder.
We went into a room where the
girls were making circulars.
We also saw machine which
writes letters automatically. Before
they had this machine it took from
one to two weeks to write, address
and stamp these letters. Now they
can all be gotten out in one day.
Mr.. Lynch started the machine
and showed us how the circulars
were folded.
When we entered into the hall,
we were told that if fire should
take place in any room in the build
ing, a sprinkler which can be
found in every room would start au-
tomatically and would sprinkle un-
til the temperature in the room had
been reduced to normal.
Mr.. Mitten told us that he expect
ed in a few years there would have
to be an addition to the Laboratory.
When we had been all through the
Laboratory we were each presented
with tube of tooth paste.
We enjoyed our trip through this
building because it was very edu-
cational. We wish to extend our
appreciation to everyone connected
with the Caulk Laboratory for treat
ing us so kindly on our tour
through this wonderful building.

Amazing Report Of
School Nurse Made
To Our School Board
Over One Hundred Children
Received Care

Who says that nurses life isn't
a busy one? Judging from the octo-
ber report of Miss Cubbage, our
school nurse, she was kept busy
every minute. Not until you saw
that report would you believe that
so many children are hurt or are
sick during one month. When you
did see it, you would wonder how
we ever got along without a school
nurse during previous years. For in
stance there were 102 children TAX
en- care of for minor hurts and ill
ness. They, of course, include the
kiddies who fell from the slide, or
got hit with ball, or fell and skin
ned themselves, or had headache.
AS for toothaches, twenty-eight chill
dren were treated for them.
The nurses report goes on to tell
of the eleven cases of impetigo that
were cured, of the three severe nose
bleeds, of the 110 underweight chill
dren who were weighed.
There was a monthly examination
of all the elementary grades for
pediculous. Seventeen notes were
sent home and fourteen cases treat
ed in school. Miss Cubbage gave 13
posture talks and started two daily
classes IN calisthenics during the
morning recess. During the month
there were % children ill in the
nurses room. Four were taken
home. In one case the mother was
warned of the possibility of appen-
dicitis, and four hours later the
child was in the hospital ready for
an operation. Besides these cases
eleven reported Illness from the
teachers were investigated, and four
home visits made in regard to the
defects of children. These pupils
were. taken to the T. B. clinic and
one very suspicious. One little girl
was taken to DR.. Williams each Fri
day for a free extraction.
When the three mental hygiene
clinics were held during the month,
Miss Cubbage examined numerous
children with nervous habits, such
as nail biting, facial and body twit-
ching, extreme timidity, and other
forms which handicap class work
She had Is interviews with teachers
about reporting absentees; she saw
that the drinking fountains were
cleaned and scalded frequently; she
had the toilets inspected, she check
ed the weight charts when she had
little time to spare; and she ex-
amined samples of water from three
schools.
other work was done by the To-
cal Board of Health. One house was
released from quarantine; Is throat
cultures were taken and one "con-
tact" taken to the doctors office for
anti-toxin. Four infant health CEN
ters were held and "a children at
tended them. One It. B. clinic was
held at which sixteen cases were
examined.
This is a brief outline of the |
nurses work, but it proves how
busy she is and how much good she |
does for the school. We need her al
ways and now it would be impos-
sible to set along without her.

MRS. ROSA GIVES
REALBARN DANCE
Seniors Have Fortunes
Told Free

|. Last Thursday night, the twelfth,
Mrs. Rosa, the Senior class advisor,
gave a party for the Seniors in the
loft of her son-in-law's new barn,
which had just been finished that
day. And what place it was for a
party-lofty, spacious, and shining,
with waxed floors and everything!
You didn't even have to climb lad
der to get up there for the stairs
were wide and anything but steep.
The loft was heated by oil stoves
and a heatrola. There were about
four card tables, one for each corr
ner, a bridge lamp, of course, the
electric ceiling lights, and radio.
Bob Reed, the class president,
brought along his portable victrola,
so there was always plenty of mu-
sic from one source or the other.
There were about fifty or sixty
guests in all, some played cards,
some danced, and still others who
wished to be different slid up and
down the floors. Miss Eva Frye, the
sister of our host, had quite a fol-
lowing all evening. She told for
tunes by reading the hand, and
wherever she was there was large
group of guests also. She might
have made quite a nice little bit OF
money if she had charged a quarter
for reading ones palm. AS it was,
she must have been tired out by the
time the party was over. Another
form of entertainment was found in
charades. Mrs. Rosa with one
group worked out the word ''ingrat-
iate," while her daughter, Mrs. Frye,
with another group worked out sew
eral words. Miss Ida Roosa coming
in in the midst of this said she had
one that couldn't be guessed. She
asked Maxine Grove to stand upon
a dime and said it represented the
slogan of a well-known business
man. The man was Woolworth, the
slogan nothing over dime" Par
don us, Maxine.
Twice during the evening Mr..
Frye, our host, attempted to con-
duct Paul Jones dance. The boys,
however, got rather mixed in the
grand change" and both attempts
Topped. Perhaps it would be we'll
to say right here that the boys go
to the RIGHT and the girls to the
LEFT nothing hard about that.
Refreshments were served about
ten o'clock and they consisted OF
sweet cider and ginger snaps. Some
time later the party broke-up leav-
ing everyone happy. We might add,
though it is unnecessary, that "a
good time was had by all"

Laurel Downs Milford In
Final Game Of Season

Milford was defeated by the Lau-
rel football team last Thursday. The
score was 7 to- 0. From the start
both teams played hard. Laurel
threw passes all afternoon and most
of them were completed. In the first
quarter they threw two passes. Ste
venson, intercepted one for Milford
and Hall another. Milford began go
ing down the field but failed to
score. In the third quarter Lau-
rel player threw long pass to the
end who caught it and ran to the
five yard line before he was tack
led. In three more plays they scor-
ed a touchdown. They also scored
their extra point on pass over the
goal line The "Bucs" were not US
ed to a team throwing passes and
could not do anything. In the last
quarter, the "Bucs" tried to stage a
comeback but Laurel with seven
point lead held them. Govatos made
two good runs but his interference
wasn't so good. Milford tried throw
ing passes toward the close of the
game but a Laurel player intercept
ed it and when the final whistle
blew it was Laurel's ball.
The lineup was:
Right End-B. ManloVe.
Right Tackle-Smoot
Right Guard--Bunstein.
Center-Johnson
Left Guard-Watson.
Left Tackle-Vinyard.
Left End-Reed.
Wing Backs-Stevenson, Hinkle.

Boys Mend Toys For
Kings Daughters

While passing the manual train
ing room one day I noticed some toy
chiffoniers setting on the floor. l
couldn't possibly imagine why the
boys should be building girls toys,
so 1 asked Mr.. MCGEE about them.
He told me that they had been CIV
en- him by Mr.. Perry, manager OF
Grants Five and Ten. The furni-
ture had been damaged in shipping
and consequently was of no use in
the store. The manual training boys
agreed to help repair it. The fronts
of the bureaus were fixed and re-
painted. Now the toys are to be
given to the Kings Daughters who
will distribute them at Christmas to
those little girls who are less apt to
receive a visit from Santa Claus.

Our Mistake!

Instead of the 3196 given to the
pupils of Mrs. Nemish's section for
last weeks banking, we are glad to
correct the error by saying that her
section had an average of 90.3%o. In
Mrs. Warehouses; section there was
also an error made, her pupils hav-
ing made 1008o. This is the first
time during the school term that the
pupils of Mrs. Warehouses; section
