AGAIN TALK OF
COLLEGE CHARTER

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Oct 24-Committees rep
resenting the State Board Of Educa-
ton and the Delaware College
Trustees met recently and discussed
the matter of charter for Delaware
College The old charter of the col
lege expired four years ago. In 1903,
the General Assembly continued the
charter for two years and this same
action was taken by the last Legis~
lature. IL is generally agreed that
there should be a perpetual charter
for the college and the General AS
sembly. it is understood has no OBJ
jections to making the charter per-
petual, but the trouble has been that
parties interested have been unable
to agree so far ON important details
of a proposed perpetual charter. The
greatest stumbling block in the mat
ter and what has caused much discus
sion for many years is the way in
which trustees are appointed.
AT the present time half the trus-
tees are appointed by the Governor
to represent the State and the other
half are appointed by what is known
as the original board. The appoint
ments are for life, and an appoint
ment is made only when a vacancy
occurs. This method has been going
on for many years, but it has been
the opinion Of large number Of per-
sons that because of the funds fur
nished by the State all the appoint
ments should be made by the State.
The General Assembly of 1909. named
Attorney General Gray and Lieuten-
ant Governor Mendinhall a commits
sion to examine charters of other col
leges, look into the legal status of
the situation and report back. The
commission made its report to the
last Legislature with recommenda-
tions. These recommendations, how
ever, were not carried out as the
charter, as stated above, was simply
continued for two more years. The
General Assembly of 1911 did, how
ever, again refer the matter to the
State Board of Education. to look into
and report back to the coming Legis-
lature with recommendations. II is
! felt by many that the Legislature is
becoming impatient over this matter
coming up so often without being
properly adjusted and il is felt that
even i'm case parties interested fail
TO agree, the Legislature will put
through a bill granting a perpetual
charter The board of trustees OI
the college last June appointed &
committee on the matter The meet
ing last week was the first held b,
these committees and no definite ac
tion was taken. Another meetml
will likely be held in the near future

CITY TEACHERS IN
RESEARCH WORK

"The Social Mind i'm Education is
the subject which has be unsolicited
for study and research work during
the winter, by a voluntary class OF
the entire corp Of city
school teachers. Under the direction
Of superintendent George w. Twit-
myer, the members of the class will
meet for the first time, in the Will
High School, on Monday
afternoon next, at o'clock, and meet
ings will be held on alternate Mon
days during the remainder OF the
year.
The topic OF discussion at the first
meeting on Monday will be What is
Social lntelligence?" superintendent
Twitmyer, IN outlining the work, has
emphasized the fact that the trend
of modern educational processes is
distinctly toward the betterment of
the races. and that never in the his
tory of governmental and educational
activities. has so much really serious
thought and consideration been given
to problems of a distinctly social ma.
ture as is being manifested by the
thinking" people of the nation to-
day The schools, too, are beginning
to realize that they represent a tre-
mendous responsibility in the stimula-
tion of a social consciousness, and in
the quality of citizenship which must
be prepared for personal efficiency
and Superintendent Twitmyer be-
lieves that the Wilmington schools
should be the distributors of the best
thoughts in modern educational
theories and practice; and that in
order to do this. the teachers must
know what the world is doing and
thinking, for only by enriching their
own minds by the best thor ghts and
standards. will they be competent TO
teach the boys and girls under their
care.
The course of study outlined by
Mr.. Twitmyer is intensely interesting.
and promises to be one OF the most
practical courses ever undertaken.
