TEACHING SCHOOL AND
HOME TO COOPERATE
Work For Local Associations
Outlined

A second step in the Statewide
campaign to organize the parents
and teachers of Delaware into as
sociations to study the problems OF
the schools, undertaken by State
Commissioner Charles A. Wagner,
last year, is the publication Of a
pamphlet - Parent-Teacher Hand
Book-filled with information rela-
tive to the successful working OF
these organizations. The bulletin
emphasizes the idea that the Asso-
citation to be valuable, should be
entirely cosmopolitan; that it
should be wholly and always con-
structive, never critical or de-
structive. A quotation from A. E.
Winship's journal of Education"
sums up the work of these assocla-
tions in the words:
They strengthen the hands OF
the best members of the Board of
Education; they lead in every good
movement for the schools; they
make for the Improvement of all
material conditions; they are
boosters for the schools; they are a
comfort and a JOY to every one in
authority educationally, and they
place every home behind every
phase of school life. 1t is nothing
against the principle that some
people misuse the opportunity
This is true even in religious or
ganizations."
The pamphlet presents a series
of questions and answers, which
set forth in a clear way the pur-
pose and scope of the organiza-
tions. A suggested Constitution
is given, and the scope of activi-
ties in Delaware concretely defin-
ed. Special subjects assigned to
the local organizations, with COM
ments upon the Importance of
their development are, School At
tendance, Health Inspection of
School Children, Standardized
Schools, Community Centre s,
School Equipment, School Embel-
lishment, School Lunches, Destitu.
ton, Home Gardening, Club Work
School Meets, School Savings
Banks, Minimum Attendance, Con.
so lida at n, Neighborhood Re-
sources School Library, Holiday
Celebrations, and School Santa
tion.
Added to the local community
problems, the bulletin recon-
mends those of statewide interest
that concern every citizen, for at
tention. Among such subject:
are the School Tax Problem, thu

Women's College News

Although the six-day schedule
of recitations at the Women's Col
lege has been in effect only three
weeks, there is no longer any
doubt that it will prove far super
ior in every respect to the five-day
schedule in force last year. This
schedule together with the periods
in place of the forty-five minute
periods is resulting in greater
amount of work and work of bet
ter quality. 1t is causing a larger
number of the students to remain
over at the college during week
ends than ever before. In order to
provide entertainment for these
students, the social committee is
arranging a series of entertain
ments for Saturday evenings in
addition to the regular "at homes"
held on Friday evening of each
week.
Dean Winifred J. Robinson,
formerly assistant professor at
Vassar College, and Miss Alfredo
Mosscrop, instructor in physical
training at the Women's College
and a graduate of Vassar, attend
ed the installation of President
MacGradken at Poughkeepsie this
week.
During the absence of the Dean,
Miss Mary Rich, professor of Edu-
cation, secretary to the Dean, have
been caring for the details of the
work at the college.

The sIady Copn of TonOpah.

In the, Interesting People" Depart
ment of the July American Magazine
appears an article about Mrs. John
racNamara, who is known as the Lady
Cop of Tonopah, Nevada. Sc polices
mining camp. Ex-oficio, she is the
wife of lawyer and the mother of
three children. Following is an ex-
tract from the article about her:
Before Tonopah knew Mrs, McNam-
ara it knew but two types of women:
one mentionable that stayed in homes
up on tie hill protected by some
male-a father, brother, a husband
and the other type, down. in the gulch,
unmentionable and unprotected by
anyone
For some time there had languished
in the camp a woman's club, few in
numbers and Insignificant in influence.
In fact, it's existence was practically
unknown to the politicians.
cite !Wloman's club appeared before
the county commissioners, told them
the conditions surrounding youth in
the camp, and asked for the appoint
ment Of woman police officer.
"Well, VINO? snapped a male. There
ain't real lady in the camp as would
take the job
"The women looked at one another.
Trey had not thought that it would be
put up to them to choose. The poll
tician rubbed his hands There amt
a lady as would take it, he repeated.
"Up spoke Mrs. Mcnamara. "I'll
take it,
"Who are you? demanded the COM
missioner.
"'Just Mrs. Mcnamara
"The politicians did not know her.
For years she had lived quietly up on
the hill with her husband and three
babies, keeping house by day and read
ing law by night. Only the grocery
man, the postof6ce clerk and the
butcher knew her, among the men.
""They tried me out she said.
When they saw i wasn't afraid and
they couldn't scare me out of my job,
they decided to put up with me the
best they could, like a necessary evil.
81 went around with her one night.
81 watched her after bade her good
night-an energetic figure in its long
blue coat and tight-ftting cap. l
watched her climb steep train till the
big, looming mountains seemingly
swallowed her up.
81 thought of what gambler said
of Fer: She's got the nerve OF a gam
bier and the heart of mother. You
got to go to hell and back to beat tnat
combination.

The Mules Name.

Not all of the good negre&stories
come from the South For instance,
there is the one told by John Pouch
er, Jr., now of Omaha, though for
merly of these parts, who has been
visiting his brother-in-law, Heather"
Wood, in Louisville recently. John
was a newspaper man once, but he is
preaching now, says the Louisville
Times.
He says there is an old negro in
Omaha who, strange as it may seem
in t.at latitude, never was slave,
The old man does odd jobs of hauling,
for which purpose he uses a gigantic
mule of tremendous strength and
equal deliberation and determination.
One day Jonn asked the old man the
mules name.
Dat mule am name Cooperation, %
was the answer.
"Wlsat on earth ever made you give
hin such a namc as that?" John ask
ed.
"Jes' cause dat am de nachel name
fo' 'im," said the old man. dat ar

The Latest in the Cut Price Sale.

on the day after the: Storm the people
began pouring in and the sales COM
menced in earnest, some ladies max
