The Summer School for Teach

established by the Board Of Trus-
tees in accordance with the provi-
sions Of an Act passed by the Gen
eral Assembly Of Delaware at the

study to meet the varying demands
of the teachers of our schools for
preparation for their work.

June %, and will continue five
weeks, closing Friday, July 25.
Monday will be registration day
and everybody should be present at
that time in order to be ready to
begin work promptly on Tuesday
morning. Recitations will be held
every day except Saturday. Pat
riotic exercises will form part of
the programme Of independence
Day.
All persons who are now teach
ing or who will give satisfactory
assurance to the Director of the
School that they intend to teach in
the free public schools of this state,
shall be admitted into this school,

the needs of the teachers. Elemen-

school subjects, including methods
of teaching, will be given to the
teachers of the primary grades.
More advanced work will be given
to the teachers of higher grades.
A fine opportunity Of receiving
instruction in Agriculture is offer
ed by this School. Since the State
Board Of Education has added this
