HOME ECONOMICS COURSE
Delaware's Professional Improvement
Conferences for Home Economics
Instructors at High Schools

Due to the small area of the State
Of Delaware it is possible to hold pro-
fessional improvement conferences for
the Home Economics Instructors of
all the twenty one vocational high
schools each month. Sixteen of these
twenty-One rural high schools have
opened vocational home departments
for the first time, this year. Due 20
the prospects of new school buildings
next year, it has been advisable to
seek quarters for these home eco
n0mic departments in any available
room. A former millinery store,
church, town hall and dwelling go TO
make up the variety of housing con-
ditions. The conferences are held in
a different center each month. The
instructors thereby gain many ideas
for improving the appearance and eff
cheney of their departments. The adj
dresses include one by the principal
of the school where the conference is
held and an address by an outside
Home Economies educator. Six of
these home economic instructors who
have done very clever teaching have
given demonstrations. These demon
strations seem to be most helpful 70
the other instructors, especially when
the demonstrations are rounded out
with full illustrative and reference
materials. Routine matters such as
schedules, lesson plans, checking Of
bills, etc, are considered. Assign
ments for outside study for self-gOv-
cnment in teaching are given also, as
q part of the methods course carried
on under the plan for itinerant teach
er training.
The Home. Economics instructors
have formed a Delaware State Home
Economics Teachers Association to
include all home economics instTuc-
tors in the State. There are at the
present time Is vocational home eco
nomics instructors and 10 non-voca-
tional instructors in little Delaware

CHURCH CONFERENCE TO
MEET IN DOVER TO-DAY
OF INTEREST TO ALL THE MIN
STEERS OF THE STATE
Meeting a part of the Plan of the In
ter-Church MOvement-Carfare
of Pastors Being Paid

Today, Wednesday all the ministers
of Delaware will meet at the Pastors
Conference of the Interchurch World
Movement in Wesley M. E. Church,
Dover. The conference is one of a
series that the movement is holding
throughout the United States to bring
home to every pastor the message of
the facts brought out by the world
survey made by the Interchurch. The
carfare of every pastor is being paid
to the conference.
Every state has or will have it's
Pastors Conference. That of Wyo-
ming began last Monday and here is
the story fresh from the telegraph
wires of what one pastor went
through to attend the conference of
his State:
"Snowshoes, a bobsled, a saddle
horse, an automobile and railroad
are the five means of transportation
employed by the Rev. D. D. Reese of
Pinsdale, Wyo., to travel 668 miles in
five days to reach the State Pastors
Conference at Douglas. Five miles on
snowshoes before reaching a trail
broken enough for a horse, 20 miles
on borrowed horse, 80 miles on
bobsled, rs miles by auto to the near
est train, and the rest of the way on
the cars"
81 guess the airplane is the only
vehicle l did not use," said the pastor,
"and l would have appreciated that
on the 532 miles by train"
DR.. S. Earl Taylor, general secre-
tary of the Interchurch World Move
ment, will be one of the speakers Of
the Dover conference, and others of
the denominations allied with The
movement, including three members
of the Methodist Centenary Staff, will
also speak. There will be a chance
for all the pastors to get together for
denomination conferences before the
enG of the gathering to discuss ways
and means of helping. The confer
ence will last three days and will be
an event unique in the religious his
tory of Delaware.
