work being done, under great diff

necessity of new hospital, proper

He then had the first tentative
plans drawn for the new Delaware
Hospital. There were great diff

from these conditions arose the gi-
gantic scheme for raising the 5000,

Services OF Governor
Miller Appreciated

Relative to the resignation OF
Governor Miller as President of the
Trustees Of the Delaware Hospital,
Wilmington, the following minute
was adopted at the meeting OF the
Board on March 21:
'It is with sincere regret that
the Trustees and Managers Of the
Delaware Hospital accept the resig-
nation of Governor Charles r..
Miller, as President Of that institu-
ton.
His official duties, as Governor,
claim so much Of his time, that he
deems it expedient to sever his con-
nection with the Hospital.
Governor Miller is deeply inter-
ested in the work Of the Hospital,
and was tower Of strength at a
time when the outlook was dark in
deed. His sincerity and splendid
business knowledge We're an inspir-
alton to both officers and managers.
Too much cannot be said Of the
good work he did. He gave not
only sympathy, but splendid fnan,
cial aid.
"Through his influence, a much
needed improvement was made pos,
sible-the placing of the incinerates
for the sanitary disposal of waste
material of the hospital.
"By a generous gift from Gov
ernor Miller the Trustees were en-
abled to rent temporary home, OF
Washington street, for the nurses
thus making room for the mucf
needed Maternity ward.
He published, at his own ex
pense, one thousand illustrated
booklets, setting forth the work anC
needs of the Hospital. These book
let's were afterwards used in The

SUMMER SCHOOL
FOR TEACHERS
Plans For The Coming Ses.
sion Announced

A bulletin describing the Sum-
mer School for Teachers to be held
at Delaware College, June 20 to
August 8, has been mailed to the
teachers Of the State during the
past week. The first summer ses-
sion was held at Delaware College
last year, with marked success, and
the new bulletin shows many addi-
tional features planned for the
coming session. One hundred SIX
ty-nine pupils enrolled last year,
and it is believed the number will
be exceeded in 1914.
The primary purpose in estab-
fishing the Summer School is to
advance education in Delaware by
furnishing instruction of high
grade to teachers of all classes and
to those preparing to teach IN the
public schools of the State. Its aim
is to enable teachers to prepare
themselves better both profession
ally and academically for their
work. so that they may render to
the community and to the State a
richer and better service. me
Board of Trustees conformity with
the State Board of Education has
arranged courses of instruction to
meet the varying demands OF all
the teachers Of our schools.
Quoting from the bulletin, "Ihe
Summer School at Delaware Col
lege is designed to aid:
l Those who have never taught
school but who wish to prepare
themselves to become teachers and
who therefore need to obtain more
thorough knowledge OF some
branches, together with a know
ledge of School Management and
Methods Of Teaching.
2 Those who need preparation IN
few branches in order to pass the
teachers examination.
3 Those teachers who desire to
improve their scholarship and
teaching efficiency by studying
new subjects and by improving
their knowledge of subjects with
which they are already more OF
less familiar.
4 Those persons who hitherto
have had no opportunity to get IN
struction in certain branches
5 Those persons who wish to be
come specialists in limited mum
Der Of branches or grades.
6 Those persons who desire tf
qualify themselves to enter Dela
ware College or wish to pass OF
conditions received in their worl
IN Delaware College.
7 Those persons who want to be
gin work in the Summer School
such work to be continued through
out the year at certain centre

Honey was at Governor Miller's
house. He helped to arrange, and
took the keenest interest in this
campaign, making most liberal
contribution to the fund.
"He always gave generously OF
his time-often at personal incon-

Governor Miller will be greatly
missed by those who have had the
pleasure of serving under his ad-
ministration.

conducted school for the purpose
OF demonstrating methods Of in
struction practicable in most rural
districts. Pupils will be chosen
from the children of Newark, and
an experienced rural teacher will
be appointed to conduct typical
rural school. Since the subjects
must necessarily be limited in num-
ber, only those will be taught which
average pupils need most. The
teaching in this school will be done
under the direction of the instruc-
tors in Management and Methods.
Summer School students will be
assigned regular periods for observ-
ing the work done. They will also
confer with their instructors and
with the teacher of the school in re-
gard to the methods and devices
employed in the work.
This school of observation will
also take up playground work. -
A piece of ground adjoining the
building in which the school will
be held, will be adequately equip
| ped with simple play apparatus.
During the recesses, games suitable
for children of all ages will be
taught to the several grades. Sum
mer School students who are OBJ.
serving the work of this typical
school at the time will be invited to
participate in the games in order
to learn how to adapt them to the
work of their own rural schools.
Only those things will be taught
in this school which are adaptable
to average rural school conditions
