ed by his much appreciated presen-
! tation.
The Millsboro School is always
glad to receive visits from former
students, parents and other friends.
Recently the following former stu
dents paid their old teachers friend
ly calls, bringing rays of sunshine to
those who delight in being remem
bered by their pupils: Miss Marga-
ret Ellis, who is making a splendid
record at Hahnemann school of nur-
sing. Miss Ellis is the charming
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Emory FL
lis of this town, and though she was
home for only few hours. Miss FL
lis saw fit to spend part of this time
~ ith her former teachers. Miss Alma
Donaway, the attractive daughter of
Mrs. John Cannon. Since coming
home Miss DOnaway has not return
ed to her school of nursing, and it is
rumored that wedding bells will soon
be ringing if they have not already
done so. Mrs. Aleine Ryan Marvel, a
former member of the present senior
class. Mrs. Marvel called on her old
teachers and classmates while in
town visiting her father, E. C. Ryan.
At present Mr.. and Mrs. Marvel are
living at Georgetown. Miss Mary
Smith, the valedictorian of the class
of 1896. Miss Smith ran in few
minutes while spending short time
in town the other day. AT present
Miss Smith lives at Stockley where
she is employed by the State.
The sixth grade, directed by its
teacher, Mrs. Sallie @. Ellis and as
sisted by the art instructor, Miss
Eleanor Lindstrom, is developing
very interesting unit on air trans
portation. In order to motivate in
terests, Mrs. Ellis has procured for
each member of her class a Heinz
album which the children fill with
pictures. The class has
also been furnished much informa-
ton and a big world airway map.
The Millsboro students and faculty
were unusually fortunate at their
last general assembly in having Hon.
George S. Williams speak to them
about his recent tour of Europe. Mr..
Williams painted a vivid word pic
ture of the many points of interest
which he and Mrs. Williams visited,
Denoted the customs and habits OF
the people with whom they mingled
and drew splendid moral lessons
from many incidents related. So
clearly and forcefully did Mr.. Will
Iiams review his trip, that the listen
er had no difficulty TO follow him |
through the crowded streets of New |
York, walk with him on the spacious |
decks of the boat, view with him the
green shores of ireland, stroll with
nim among the lakes and mountains
Of Switzerland, visit with him the
great battlefields of Europe, stop
with him in Paris and London and
attend with him the Rotarians con-
ference at Nice on the historical
Mediterranean.
In presenting Mr.. Williams, Mr..
Bennett called the childrens atten-
ion to the fact that Mr.. Williams
las devoted many years of his busy
ife to serving boys and girls. No;
,nly has he served as president of
he local board of school trustees for
number of years but also as presi-
lent of the State Board of Education.
Ir. Williams has held other State
,ffices including that of State Trea-
urer for two terms. At present Mr..
Williams is serving as Governor of
he Rotarians of the 1S4th District
which includes lower New Jersey
nd the entire State of Delaware, and
ecause of this high official rank was
ent to Europe.
Mr.. Bennett pointed out that the
Iillsboro school was fortunate in :
recurring a man of Mr.. Williams
tanding with such little effort, and
armed against the danger Of not
ppreciating this local townsman
lille strangers consider it a rare
eat to be able to hear him.
