nouncement was made at the Women r
College today;
Dean Winifrcd J Robinson has placed
before tho Committee ON Instruction of
the Women's College of Delaware plan
which she hopes will bring about Gle ser

plan for week end visits at the college for
high school girls is contemplated Pro-
fessor Mary l.. Rich of the Department
Of Education of the college has been
nominated for the new office /"
Dean Robinson, IN "a letter 20 members
Of tho committee on instruction. has
pointed out that three PURPOSES would be
accomplished by the proposed plan rs
follows: First, develops interest in teach
ing among the students of high schools
second. gives an opportunity to observe
tho work Of former students of the college
now teaching. and third, makes the re-
sources OF the college available for the
teachers.
Should the plan be adopted Professor
Rich in her new line of work, would have
headquarters at the Women's College. but
would be in close touch with all the high
schools OF the State.
Professor Rich joined the faculty OF the
Women's College in the Department of
Education when the institution wa.
opened in 1914 The first year she spent
considerable time visiting schools of the
State. but this part of her work had to
be given up. owing to a lack OF funds and

signs more fervently for 'fhe good old
days Of the Kaiser than the former army
officer Forced Of the government pay
roll BY the reduction Of the army, un-
trained for work other than soldering,
and 80 generally disliked by the popula-
ton that he has difficulty in finding any
kind Of employment, the officers lot IN
democratic Germany Is hard one. His
pre-war world, in which he strutted about
as the privileged pet Of his emperor, has
been utterly destroyed.
Many have been reduced 70 extreme
financial straits. The middle-aged ex-
officer gets a pension Of $500 marks
year, but that IS only about fifth of the
amount required 10 ma ntaIn a family.
So urgent Is their need that movement
has been set on foot 20 form an ex-offcers
association for the purpose of inducing
the government 10 provide them with
land and subsidies.
A former officer, dolefully discussing
with the correspondent the plight Of
himself and his fellows. remarked that
the expression once current in the United
States. There's no good Indian but a
dead Indian, applied precisely nova
DAYS TO the German pubiic's attitude
toward the officer class.
Private soldiers bear out this statement
AT the beginning of the war. one said,
the troops were fond Of their officers
who ate the same food, carried their own
packs and shared the hardships of the men
But most of the regular officers were quick
" killed off, and those left were sent away
from the lines for staff and other duties
Their places were taken by reserves,
who were an entirely different lot They
had 10 have special kitchens and milk
and plenty of wine. They refused to
march with the troops. always riding IN
their packs. They were DULLES and
tyrants, and the men grew 10 hate them
The civilian population felt the same
way was in Belgium when the armis-
tice was signed, and when we withdrew
10 the Rhineland the people there were
willing enough to provide lodgings for Us
privates, but they refused to have officers
In their homes. Those fellows now are
only getting what's coming TO them.
In a number OF cases eX-OficerS have
found themselves inadvertently apply
ing for work TO the very privates they
once commanded. These former soldiers,
business men and shopkeepers, take keen
delight, it is said, in turning down their
old superiors Many of the Young ex-
officers are taking up engineering and
other technical lines, starting at the bot
tom of the ladder rs manual workers in

After the first revolution it was risky
thing for an officer TO appear on the

then have been showing themselves in

IMMIGRANTS TO

High wages for the nottingham in the
