SUMMER SCHOOL
OPENS AT NEWARK

!
With prospects of more than 200 stu
dents the third annual Delaware College
summer school opened at Newark OF
Monday and will last for six weeks,
closing August 6. The first day was
taken up largely in the registration of
students and organizing of the classes
and the regular class work started Tues
day morning.
Because of the increase in the annual
appropriation by the General Assembly
from 81, 200 to 50, 500, it has been possi-
BILE to add a number of features to the
school this year that the two previous
sessions did not have. Many students
came from Cecil county and other nearby
counties in Maryland, as the school auth
critics of that State have decided to al
low credits to teachers attending on
their certificates and the Cecil county
authorities will assist those teachers
attending the school financially.
There will be a number of special
features this session. One feature will
be on July %, which day will be known
as Parent-Teachers' Association Day.
The object of this is to demonstrate just
how such an association can be bene-
fetal to the schools. In the evening of
that day Mrs. Clinton o. Houghton,
president of the Newark Parent-Teach-
ers' Association, will have charge of
model parent-teachers meeting.
DR.. E. V. Vaughn, professor of his
tory, has arranged for several interest
ing trips for the students during the
session to points of historical interest.
One will probably be to Philadelphia,
another Cooch' Bridge, where the Stars
and Stripes was first unfurled in battle.
and third to Chadd's Ford.
There will be a short lecture each
morning at the chapel and also special
lectures some evening during the ses-
sion. There will also be a Fourth of
July celebration under the auspices of
the Delaware branch of the School
Peace League.
There will be a number of recreation
and social features. One evening dur
ing the first week the faculty will give
a reception to the students. There will
be an entertainment each Friday even
ing in the gymnasium. There will also
be athletic features such as baseball,
track and field, basketball and tennis.
Physical Director William J. McAvoy
will have charge of the athletic and So
cial features.
