$50 in the Quill and Scroll Society
In the April-May issue of the Quill
and Scroll magazine it was mentioned
that AskOv high school with Vernon
Anderson as director had been granted
charter to the Quill and Scroll
Askov was admitted together with 81
other schools. There was only one
more of this new group which came
from Minnesota, namely the Good
Counsel Academy at Mankato. The
Quill and Scroll magazine encourages
news writing and discusses important
factors of school newspaper work.
Grade News.
The sixth and seventh grade pupils
under the direction of Miss Utoft, are
having some very interesting expert
ences. Quite number of them have
been writing letters to pupils in Den
mark. The schools with whom this
correspondence is started are Bale
FriskOle," Vejle, and "Refsvindinge
Skole." The response from the Dan
ish children has been immediate and
enthusiastic. Over thirty letters so
far have been received in reply to the
same number from here. The con-
tent of the foreign letters vary con-
siderably, but all are interesting.
The young Danes tell of home and
school life as found there and many
noteworthy things about their little
fatherland east of the great ocean
Some of the boys and girls have in
closed in their letters photographs of
themselves to help make more real
istic this novel introduction. Among
other things it is interesting to note
the difference in the type of hand
writing here and abroad. AS a rule
the Danish hand writing is good
legible, uniform as to slant and size
of letters, and without any disfiguring
flourishes whatsoever.
The children in Denmark insist they
would like to continue the correspon-
dence. With this wish our pupils are
gladly complying. Soon many mis-
sives from Askov will again cross the
Atlantic.

MOUNTAINEERING

The tragedy by which King Albert
of Belgium lost his life while climb
ing mountain raises the question
whether this form of athletic sport
is worth what it costs. Every year
lives are lost in the American noun
tains, and still more on the danger
GUS slopes of the Swiss Alps. VigOr-
Gus people pit their strength against
the terrOrs of those cliffs, and when
they slip on an icy rock and life
is lost, it seems like sacrificing
something precious without gaining
any reward.
However, many thousands of peo-
pie gain strength and refreshment
from this form of sport. which is
something substantial. But people
would better do their climbing of
difficult mountains under expert
eneed advice, and when they set out
alone TO scale these peaks, they
gamble with fate.

1T II THE NEW ERA

Confidence and cooperation by
business men in every town and city
i'm every state. in every county, must
he the base foundation for any kind
of business to build upon in the fu-
ture. In comment on action by
business men of Milford organizing
ii policy and campaign on which the
business of Milford will cooperate
in 1884 and years to come, the Morn
ing News of Wilmington, Delaware,
in its editorial of last Saturday said:
Leading merchants of Milford re-
Gently organized a Business Mems
Association which will have frequent
meetings and addresses by noted
speakers. Committees were appoint
ed No doubt. such an organization
will accomplish much good. There
is nothing like getting together in Il
cooperative effort. Cooperation in
fhe broader sense has largely sup
planted competition. though, of
course, there is no thought of aban-
doning competition.
Every town and city in Delaware
should have a representative body of
those in business and most places
have such organizations. There are
so many perpleXing problems that
the united efforts of those concerned
could solve. There is no time for
halIing and hesitation. Milford and
other places should so forward when
i, is considered how much the state
is being helped by Federal funds.
Only lately the Federal Government
gave Delaware $165,541 to be eXpend-
ed for unemployment relief work.
This will enable the commission TO
function longer.
"All kinds of organizations through
out the state should help in this |
laudable work and the business men |
through organizations and as i'll
dividuals should continue to do a |
great deal"

FREEDOM OF THE PREsS

President Roosevelt has approved
a code covering the publishing of
newspapers. A good many news
paper people have felt some anxiety
for fear that the government would
establish restrictions on the freedom
of the press. They are glad to learn
that this code contains statements
confirming this freedom. and that
the president explicitly states that
the right to express opinion freely
will not be interfered with.
In many countries where the gov
ernment has undertaken to regulate
daily life closely, newspaper free
dom has been drastically restricted.
The newspapers are not allowed to
publish anything that the govern
ment does not approve Of If such
provisions are disObeyed. then such
newspapers would be suppressed.
and the publishers and editors sub
ject to serve penalties.
There is always a temptation, when
a government is attempting TO reg
nlate the affairs of daily life. for it
to apply this strict control over the
newspapers. Government officials
feel that if adverse comment cireu-
lates, il will create revolt among the
people.
Here in the United States our peO-
pie should cling TO the freedom of
the press as the very foundation of
our liberties. If the newspapers
cant say what they think, govern
ments could commit acts of tyranny +,
There is no great danger that such !
suppression of the newspapers will /

States. Certainly the present gov

"BEHIND ON THEIR ORDERS"

II is rather wonderful piece of
news from the automobile industry.
that the factories are behind on their
orders for new cars. For four years
we have seen a period when the fac
tories were waiting for the orders to
come in. II is a welcome change
when the people who want the cars
are having TO wait.
The immediate result is that 1OO.-
600 men who have had little work for
three years, have been recalled to
the factories. The hum of those busy
wheels must be sweet music to them.
So it will happen in most industries.
People get discouraged and think
business will never be better. Then
all at once it is discovered that
stocks of these goods are low. and
hope and courage return.
Milford chronicle., 1934-03-02
NO FINE mol READ NRKsPAPRRS

Some people claim they have no
time in which to read newspapers.
How can they use their time to more
value? They need to know the news
of the country and state. TO carry. on
any kind of work or business sue
cessfHlly. They need to read the
home town news, to get the full ad-
vantage of the life of the home town.
Without the home town news,
things happen that they might have
enjoyed, but they never hear of them
until afterward. Friends go and
come without their knowing it.
Chances to save money and obtain
Jobs are missed. The person who
has no time to read the newspaper
might as well he content to sit down
and let the procession go by.
Milford chronicle., 1934-03-02
PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is deep sounding
word, and the average person hardly
knows what ii means II is defined
as the science of the human mind.
But profound as the subject is, yet
it is a line of thought that is being
studied by many unemployed peO-
! pie, who are anxious to find ways by
which they can make good in the
world.
Many people who KNOW little or
nothing about theoretical psychology,
are yet in a practical way very good
psychologists themselves. A poll
/ tician for instance. may never have
studied this science in any book. yet
instinct tells him now the minds of
his constituents work. Many poll
ticians are too much swayed by
every current OF popular opinion that
blows, so that they are not much
more than mere weather vanes. But
still any successful statesman has to
know what the people are thinking
in their inmOst minds. before he can
sway their thought.
The good salesman is an excellent
He knows how the
mind of his customer works. He |
tries to adapt himself TO the tenden-
cies in the mind of his customers. /
and how to appeal to different types |
of mind.
An unemployed man may not be
helped much by study of the scien-
tiGc works on psychology To get a
job. But it will help him to observe
the way in which the minds of peO-
pie work. A man has TO read the
mind of the public. TO please those
TO whom he is trying to sell goods
and services.
One reason why many persons fail
10 read peoples minds, is that they
are so anxious to talk themselves
and express their own thoughts, that
they rarely listen TO others. The
person who listens more than lie
.alks, knows the thoughts that are
through the minds Of the
people, and is better able TO predict
what they will do. and what kind Of
argument will appeal to them.
Milford chronicle., 1934-03-02
A HERO PASSES on

The death OF King Albert of Bel
sium has removed one of the great
heroes of the 10th century. 1t has
often been complained that kings
held themselves aloof from the
masses of their subjects. King AL
bert gave a glorious example of a
king who devoted his life to the SER
vice of his people, and who looked
at them all with fatherly affection.
When Germany invaded Belgium
in 1914, the Belgian government had
chance to save its country from
the terrors of war. The Germans
were not anxious to attack little Bel
gium, and all they desired was Il
chance to get at their hereditary
enemy. France. If Belgium had al
lowed those armies free passage over
their soil. it would have had no cities
destroyed and lost no lives.
But King Albert led his people in
refusing 10 ClOOSt any SuCu lSCDAC
course. Perhaps his policy was not
good Judgment considered from
prudent viewpoint. But anyway ii
was splendidly noble. and when he
decided that he and his fellow coun-
Irymen must die if necessary to re- /
sist such an outrage against civiliza
lion, he took foremost place among
he World War heroes. /
Over and over again he risked his ,
life in battle and in flying over the
ierman trenches. 1t is pitiful that
/ man capable of such sell sacrifice
should now have lost his life in a
mere sport, while climbing a noun
ain. But when one has courage To
'isk his life constantly for his cOun-
ry. the same fearlessness leads him
o take hazards in daily life.
We need more such ones TO rule
America, men whose first thought is
he welfare of their people. and who
nave learned to conquer the weak
ears by which the majority of man.
Kind are governed.
