TRAINING IN
COMMUNITY CIVICS
Specialist In The Field In
Delaware

At the meeting of the Depart
nent of Superintendent, in Gin
cinnati, Superintendent Scott, of
the Wilmington public schools,
succeeded in interesting United
States Commissioner of Education
DR.. P. P. Claxton in the educa-
tiOnal needs of Wilmington and
Delaware and in securing his
promise of aid from the Federal
government nj furthering the pro-
ject in which Superintendent Scott
was especially interested. The
particular lines along which CO.
operation was solicited were the
home and school garden movement
the neighbhorhood survey and the
extension of civics instruction
through the grades. 1t has long
been felt by those having the work
in charge and by those who have
been watching it closely from the
outside that the work Of the civics
department of the Wilmington
High School should be preceded by
citizenship training in every grade
of the system. To make this pos
sible, Superintendent Scott and
Governor Miller, together with
Professor Harry Hayward, of Del
aware College, and DR.. Charles A.
Wagner, state commissioner of
education, were appointed a COM
mittee representing the educa-
tional interests of the state to Sc
cure the services of DR.. Arthur T.
Dunno, a specialist in civics in
StructiOn in the Bureau of Educa-
ton. for Wilmington and the State.
In order to bring DR.. Dunno here
it was necessary to raise locally
the sum of $500 to complete the
fund Of $4,000 required for the
| work. This amount has been Sc
cured and DR.. Dunno is already in
the field ready to take up the in
stallatiOn of the work in the city
schools and throughout the rural
schools.
DR.. Dunno will outline course
of children Of all ages in our
schools, giving the younger of
them an appreciation more espec-
tally Of the meaning of community
life and their relation to their en-
vironment and everything that
