STUDY AGRTCULTURE
(Morning News EditoriaD

The report of Mr.. McCauley, who
organized and directs the AgTicul-
tural Department in the Milford dis
trict schools, is interesting. 1t
proves, among other things. that this
study of agriculture is of much val
ue to the farmers. Forty-eight pupils
were registered and organized in
the work. The plan is to make Mil
ford an outstanding point for such
education through wise study end
practical management in equipping
boys for successful business on the
farms.
The Board of Education report
says that like all business, faIm-
ing requires common sense, persist
ent study of its problems and just
a determination to succeed. by te-
ing right and then going ahead"
There are individual reports on
the doings of all the young ones. 1t
is all remarkable, showing the diff
ference between the present and the
days when farming was jnst drift
ing along with no one seriously
realizing that agriculture could be
made a study and put on a scientific
basis.

Commercial Course Added
The Millsboro Public School will
open Tuesday. Sept. 4th. and. as
usual, both a morning and after
noon session will be run.
Individual schedules have been
worked out for each pupil, and will
be passed out by the home room
teachers at o'clock on the day
school opens. These schedules not
only guide the pupils into what is
thought to be the best courses and
subjects for them, but also inform
them when and where each class
meets. who the teacher is, etc. There
fore, there is nothing to hinder class
work starting at 9.05 a. m. and con-
tinuing uninterrupted throughout
the day.
In the elementary school, the
names of the pupils in each grade
have been furnished the teacher, the
proper books and supplies placed
in each room, and all other details
taken care of so Nhat class work
may start without delay on the
opening morning.
When it was learned that the
MillsbOro School may possibly run
a commercial course, all pupils in
terested were asked to come to the
school building and enroll. Judging
from the number that has reported,
there will be very large class TAX
ing this work. Former students who
had quit high school are among those
that are enrolling.
Though the board has a number
of splendid applications on file. the
commercial teacher has not been ap-
pointed as yet 1t is understood,
however, that this matter will be at
tended to in the near future.
