From the Newark Post
That Delaware College is going to
play a prominent part in the life of
the State is more assured every day.
Last year was one of marked advance
in the line of educational activity
Prominent among the movements
started was the Extension work of
the College. President Harter ap-
pointed a Committee of the Faculty
to investigate the possibilities of such
work Contrary to the views Of even
some members of the faculty, the idea
met with immediate response
throughout the State DR.. Vaughn
with his committee made a visit to
the high schools of the State. asking
for information and presenting the
idea Of Extension Lectures from the
College professors. Although enthu-
siastlc himself. the demand for lee
lures was beyond his expectations.
The Committee issued bulletin, Civ
ing the subjects Of lectures that could
be given on call. A slogan adopted,
"If you can't come TO Delaware Col
lege. the College will come to you, "
has been received with IN enthusiasm
that will tax the faculty to meet the
demand.
Along this same line, now comes
the announcement that the English

New England Selects a Teacher South
of the Mason and Dixon Line.

The many friends Of Mrs Isaac

be glad to hear of her successful career
in the East.
Mrs. Elizabeth Woodward, the widow
of the late Isaac Woodward, matricul.
ated in Columbia University shortly
after the death of her husband about
two years ago.
Last week the president of the state
Normal School of Massachusetts went
down to the University to select a head
for the Department of Education in
his school. After interviewing both
men and women from all over the Unit.
ed States, he selected Mrs. Woodward.
The Faculty of the University is very
much pleased over the fact that South.
ern woman was chosen. 1t is not only
evidence that all prejudice between the
North and South is forgotten, but that
in the land of the Puritans, Southern
women are coping with Northern men
and when brain is pitted against brain,
the woman wins.
Maysville has cause to be proud OF
the recognition given to three of her
women who have graduted from Colum
bia within the last few years.

Maurice Waller of this city, is now
