EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

A. R. Spaid, superintendent of
New Castle County Schools, submit
ted the following paper on Higher
Education for Girls at the recent
meeting of the State Board of Edu-
cation:
Sat present there seems to be a
real desire to give our girls in Della
ware the same educational privileges
4hat our boys now have. This is
right and proper If intelligence
counts for anything in our land we
should provide equal educational
6aoilities for our girls and boys. l
am in favor of cO-education. In the
United States about 96 per cent. of
the institutions of learning have it.
II is a pity that Delaware College
ever excluded girls. The State has
undoubtedly been the loser thereby.
Young women, whose parents could
afford it, have been graduating from
Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Swarth-
more, and other well-known colleges
for so long that it will take many
years perhaps to turn theirsisters and
friends to Delaware College should
those in authority grant this privi-
lege However, it is my opinion
shat the question of making Della
ware College co-educational should
be left largely to those in charge of
the institution as they can Judge of
the outcome more accurately than
Others no difference how good their
intentions may be. 1t is not a ques-
ton of the right which the girls have
by inheritance, so much as one of
practicability. The cost of any new
arrangements brought about by CO.
education must be taken into con-
sideration.
A college course for women,
while not always practical, is GER
4ainly of the greatest value. Mrs.
Newell Dwight Hills declares in a
recent article in The Outlook that
"a college course is undoubtedly the
most desirable of all forms of train
ing, broadening woman and fitting
her for leadership and for compre-
hension of any work which may
come to her, and enabling her to
grasp and handle any situation more
easily and effectively. 1t is the high !
est form of study and is necessary to |
che maintenance of a general stand
ard but the variance of tempera-
ment and gifts, the difficulty in the
paths of life lying before young
women, make it necessary and de- |
sirable that there should also be
special training for special work. |
Mrs. Hills last sentence opens the /
way for a discussion of the advisa-
Eility of a normal-school training
gather than a college training for
Delaware girls.
cit takes four years for a graduate
Of standard high schools to complete
a college course it takes two years
30 complete a course at a normal
school, As a rule the graduate from
Che normal school succeeds better
in managing a school than a college
graduate. The reason therefore is
quite plain the one has been trained
sOr her work, the other has not. The
saving Of two years is no small item.
Delaware needs more good teachers
md needs them now. In New Cas-
1e County there are four times as
lany normal-school graduates ascol-
sge graduates in the white schools.
BENEFITS OF STATE AID.
In 1903 the Legislature Of this s
- d. ,.,,--.I . - - -. = a.... Al =,

600 for each county to be used in
defraying the expenses Of persons
desiring training at a normal school
at the rate of not more than so per
week or $50 per year. For this finan-
cial aid each applicant agrees to
teach at least two years in Delaware
after graduation. This enables each
county school commission to keep
twelve persons in certain normal
schools year after year. During
the operation of the law 38 applicants
have received State aid. OF these %
graduated / died, are teaching
who did not graduate and II are
now taking their courses. Only 6
of the % graduates have taught
more than the required two years.
Three have married But 10 who
have received aid are now teaching
in this county. However. there are
four others teaching in other States
whe-still have two years to teach in
Delaware. If this ratio holds good
in the others counties. Delaware
has about 80 teachers in the school
room out of 120 or l25 trained in
seven years at an expense of s21 900.
This money went largely to the
normal schools of Pennsylvania.
In addition to the 81 900 paid by
the States at last 10000 more was
paid by these young people for board
and books The question now
arises, Can Delaware improve upon
the situation by establishinga normal
school OF her own2
There are between POS and 300
normal schools in the United States.
Nearly a third of them are private
schools. They graduate over u. 900
teachers annually. In Massachu-
sets a normal school training is re-
quired. A teacher before she can
enter the Philadelphia schools must
be a graduate Of high school giving
a four year course, as well as a
graduate Off normal school. Previ.
Gus to 1903 less than two per cent
of the teachers in the rural schools
of the State of Michigan had received
any training to fit them for their
work. Today 40 per cent of them
have had at least one year of pep
aratiOn. Normal school training is
increasing everywhere. Pennsyl-
vania has 13 normal schools with
an enrolment ofover 5000. Penn
sylvania has $4,000 teachers in
round numbers in her public schools
about 40 times as many as Della
ware has. From these figures it will
be seen that for each person in the
normal schools ofPennsvlvania there
are four teaching. The same ratio
in Delaware would mean 225 or $50
in a normal school, if we had one.
Such number would make a pros
porous school.
"But we have no buildings to be-
gin with, and no instructors, unless
4 normal school department is es-
.ablished at Delaware College. This
appropriation OF $4,000 annually
was made for two years in 1878, !

was not renewed. -Four of |

hirteen years that the college was

nal school department. However
conditions have changed and the re-
ults ought to be different, but the
hances are that we would have

he spirit Of a college is vastly diff
srent from that Of a normal school.
"The administration Of normal
,hool should be under the super

ton. There should be a strong
corps of instructors under a compe-
tent principal and a modern course
of study. including school gardening
and elementary agriculture, domes-
tic science and manual training.
There should be kindergarten de-
partment. Music and drawing
should be emphasized-in fact every
subject that appeals to child lite
should enter into the curriculum.
"The first cost and the yearly
maintenance must be taken into con-
sideration, whether the State estab-
fishes a normal school department
in connection with DelaNare College
or somewhere else. If at Delaware
College, there must be a new dor
mitory for the girls and the class
rooms, l fancy, would have to be
enlarged. What the cost would be
| do not know. There would be a
saving no doubt in teaching and the
purely academic subjects, such as
the languages, literature and higher
mathematics.
SUGGESTS SCHOOL AT DOVER.
However, in order to avoid any
conflict in administration, should
there be any, by establishing a nor
NAL school department at Delaware
College, l suggest another plan which
may not be feasible The Whining
ton Conference Academy located in
Dover has served its purpose well.
1t has trained many a deserving
youth and has added much to the
intelligent citizenship Of this penin-
sula. But like many other good
schools of a similar character, the
Academy has felt the wondeful
growth Of the high schools in the ter
ritory from which it has been
soliciting students. The time will
soon come when of necessity the in
sitution must close its doors. This is
the history of other denominational
schools throughout the country.
Some of these Instituti ms have be-
come prosperous normal schools
under State supervision. The Will
mington Conference Academy is a
valuable property located almost in
the heart of Dover. The time has |
come perhaps when the State could |
lease this property and turn it into |
a normal school without a great deal
Of expense. The first thing to do
would be to place a fair valuation
on the property and to allow the
of the academy interest at
the rate of 5 per cent. the income to
be paid in scholarships. In this
wav a certain number of desirable
students would enter the normal
school every year from the entire Del
laware- Maryland Peninsula, which
would be a source Of great strength
to the normal school. The scholar
ships would have a valuable suffic-
lent to cover tuition The Will
mington Conference by leasing the
would lose nothing, for the
academy would as normal school
continue to exert an educational in
1uence greater than ever. At the
same time the trusteeswould see their
abors crowned with no small sue
,ess, and the real estate agent would
40 longer plan to cut the well-shaped
,ampus into building lots. Of course
here may be obstacles too great to be
,vercome, but the suggestion is
worth considering at this time.
