Millsboro High School has become
reading conscious. In the early
hours of morning, during the busy
day and late into the night pupils
are reading, reading, reading. Read
ing contests have taken the place of
the spelling bees, defamation and
oratorical contests, debating socie-
ties, etc. Even all the clubs of the
school have been converted into
reading clubs, and the chief topic
on the playground, in the cafeteria
at noon, and sometimes at the dance
hall at night is reading. What Is
his r. O.. (reading quotienU? is the
first question a high school lassie
asks concerning a boy who seems to
be interested in her. And no boy
would think of dating a girl without
first having knowledge of her read
ing ability.
Good readers have become so popu-
lar. and the ability to read better SO
desirable, that even the elementary
children are begging their teachers
to give them more work of this ma
ture so that they may not be fiat

reach high school.
The Millsboro teachers as usual
are attempting to meet the emerg-
ency. The intermediate and upper
grade teachers are striving as never
before to teach better this important
tool subject. They are holding con-
ferences. reading books and doing
everything possible TO make them
selves equal to the task that con-
fronts them. They seem determined
not to allow the children's r. Q's.
to drop after leaving the primary
grades. Therefore. some of the best
reading lessons that have ever been /
taught in the intermediate grades are |
being taught. while the primary /
teachers are working in the same /
commendable way as usual to give |
the children good start nj reading 1
as well as on the road to popularity. I
The high school teachers are try |
ing to find out what is wrong with I
the children who cannot read well. /
So that they may more correctly !
diagnose each individua1's case be-
fore applying a remedy, they gave
all the secondary pupils a reading
test. one day this week. Now they
are working on each child, taking 1
him right where he is and helping
him to overcome his weakness. This
procedure is called remedial read
ing. The whole student body has
also been diveded into small groups |
so that corrective reading can better
be taken care of. Thus every pupil 4
in the Millsboro school will have an
equal chance to win honor and be-
come popular.
No longer is the teaching of read
ing in the secondary classrooms con-
fined to the English classes. but in
the mathematics, social. studies, sci

gratulations to the teachers. and
hoped them success in maintaining
the same high standards during this

The Presidents fateful words
were rolling out over the chamber
of the House of Representatives
when he had his attention at
tracted by scratching sound from
the skylight above. He glanced
up, but secure in his knowledge
that he was as heavily protected
as any President could possibly be,
kept right on with his address.
= He was not the only one who
heard the noise, however, and
silently but efficiently an inveSTi-
CATION was started. It developed
that a guard had been posted
above the skylight so that he could
look down upon the assemblage
and thereby catch the movements
Of everyone in the room.
In changing his position for q
better view, he slipped. He was
fortunate enough to grab a steel
girder before he hit the Skylight.
If he had missed he would have
fallen right through on the top
of the President and all the dig
nitartes gathered around him.
