ing summer has been heightened to
ten weeks, the school will be divided
into two terms. according to a cir
cular recently issued The first term
will be from June 25 TO August 3,

The primary purpose Of the school
Is the training OF teachers for the pub
lie schools OF the State. and there Is
every indication that the attendance
this year Will exceed by a large num-
her any previous session. This is
largely due TO the fact that because OF

has passed q bill providing for the
State to pay the expenses including
board Of Delaware teachers and those
who expect 10 teach during the ses-
sion Of the school In past years many
teachers who desired TO were unable
10 attend the school owing to the fact
that their salaries were so small they
could not afford the expense.
