opens September 9Th. the schoo
cafateria. will be in readiness tt
serve all pupils desiring to ca
there. A list of the supplies needed
for the first few days has been com
piled by Mrs. ollie T. Atkins, Home
Economics Instructor.
In order that those children who
desire to eat at the school cafateris
may buy their luncheons at a rea-
sonable' price, Principal Bennett is
endeavOring to procure all supplies
at the very best figure possible. Not
only has he given each local mer-
chant a chance to submit prices
but he has also written several
wholesale houses for their best Of
fer. Since it is not the desire of the
school to make a profit by selling
food, the people of the consolidated
district, taking advantage of the cafa-
terra, will receive the direct benefit
of any discount the dealers see fit
to give. Professor Bennett made it
clear that, though he thought it his
duty and reserved the right to buy
wherever he could obtain the best
bargains, he would not fail to give
the local merchants preference wher-
ever possible. ....
1t is understood that the School
Board has ruled to the effect that
all children buying luncheons must
do so at the school cafateria unless
their parents obtain special permis-
sion for them to eat elsewhere. This
ruling was thought wise because so
many children waste their lunch
money and'because the cafateria will
be in position to serve balanced
ration of pure food,
Mrs. Dolly Lawson, who has been
employed to prepare the food, took
course in this subject last winter
and has visited some of the leading
school cafaterias of the State.
Everyone concerned is doing his
utmost to have everything in readi-
ness for the opening day of school.
Supplies and equipment have been
coming in during the entire summer,
and much time has been spent re-
ceiving and placing said material as
we'll as putting the used part of the
building in tip-top condition. So
we'll has the old part of the building
been touched up that the visitor is
not only given the impression that
the old and new are well matched
but that the entire structure is new
and unused.
In addition to several regular
class rooms, there has been added to
the Millsboro school building a
equipped library room, a
modern art room, well equipped
cafeteria, and an up to date manual
shop. These new additions
place Miflsboro among the few first
group State schools of Delaware,
and do much to place the children of
The Millsboro Consolidated District |
On an equal footing with those boys
and girls who have the advantages
Of attending school in the larger |
towns and cities.
= Though Principal J. M. Bennett |
had organized the school some two |
Years ago so that every requirement |
or a first group school had been
net as far as the original building
would permit, until this year Mills
1oro was retained in the second group
class for lack of a special course
ike manual training and ample
space for a library. The schools un-
Ter sState Board control are classed
is first, second and third group A
irst group school is an asset to any
and the people of the
dillsbOro Consolidated District in
general are proud of their beautiful
chool building and splendid school
ystem.
AS the second school schedule has
'een arranged for a six Zone hour
Ieriod day, part of each period will
