Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Del. Aug. THE most
successful summer school that has
been held at Delaware College was
closed yesterday after a six weeks
session. Although the total enroll
ment Of l75 was not as large as last
year, the students we're much bet
ter qualified than those of previous
years. The difference in attendance
was largely due TO the fact that no
students was admitted this year un-
der 16 years Of age while last year
there were probably 25 below that
age.
On account of the enforced absence
of DR.. Charles A. Wagner, State Com
missioner of Education, dean of the
summer school during much Of the
time, Professor George r. Dutton,
looked after tue details of the school
most of the time This year prac-
tically the entire enrolment COM
pleted the six weeks, remaining here
for the examinations, which we're held
Thursday and Friday. This good
showing in attendance was largely
due to the fact that the State Board
of Education decided that those teach
ers attending the school would get
credit for their work on their teach
ers' certificates.
Professor Dutton left tday for the
home of his parents in Seaford. where
he will spend several weeks and
much of the time fishing; Miss Brust
will go to Atlantic City for n rest:
Professor Mary r. Rich will take a
trip to Chicago; Professor and Mrs.
c. A. Short and Dr. and Mrs. e. v
Vaughn will spend some time on the
Miles river Md; Professor ConoVer
will visit points in New Jersey; Dr
w. owen Sypherd, Dean r. Laurence
Smith and Professor Van Geisen
Smith will go to Rehoboth on August
IA for a week.
In the various athletic games be
tween the Maryland and Delaware
girls attending the summer school
the Maryland girls proved the best
athletes and won all the events. This
included contests in basket ball, vol
ley ball, indoor baseball and tennis.
In the tennis finals Miss Virginia
Maxwell, of Maryland. defeated Miss
Mary Phillips, Of Delaware, Sc and
5-l.
Notwithstanding the inclemsnt
weather, the fireman's carnival is at
tracting large crowds, largely due TO
the fine attractions that are offered.
Providing the weather is clear a
record crowd is looked for tonight
On the Saturday night of the carni-
val last year fully 5000 persons we're
on the grounds and those figures will
be exceeded tonight in case it is clear
