INIT, intensive training in INDUS
trial projects has been given in
the Opportunity Class for the
past year and a half with such
success as to- warrant its CON-
tinuance and to give a good index
of the limitless possibilities for
advancing such children and for
giving to those handicapped in
some way an opportunity to learn
something useful and practical.
Gardening, home-making, carpen-
try and other things will doubt
less be given. Equipment for
such work will be chosen after
conference between Miss Hoey,
Miss Snyder and Professor w. A.
Wilkinson, head of the Depart
ment of Education at Delaware
College. This work is not in the
mature of an experiment. It's
utility has been proved in other
localities in other states and has
been abundantly proved by the
excellent results attained under
Miss Hoey's direction here.

ton and Serve for Demon
stration School

The one-room school building
recently given to ehe Women's
College by the Delaware SCHOOL,
Auxiliary Association, will serve
two-fold purpose. 1t will furnish
a concrete ideal for the young
teachers who will attend Summer
School, serving as an illustration
of a model rural school building;
and it will also serve to house the
Opportunity Class, the ungraded
section of the Grammar School.
This latter use will greatly re-
lieve the congested condition now
existing there.
The building, erected from
plans drawn by Guilbert and
Betelle, architects who have de-
signed all of the model school
buildings erected by the Associa-
ton throughout the State, will he
21x33x12. 1t will be constructed
on college property directly i'm
front of the Grammar School
building and back OF the Armory
According to the principles of
modern school houses, it will
lighted renilaterally, all light
coming from the east.
Forty students will be accom-
modated. Movable, adjustable
desks will be- provided for the
convenience of students of differ
ent sizes SUCH as ordinarily attend
a rural school, and such as make
up the personnel of the Opportun-
ity Class at present.
The equipment for this building
vii be chosen with a view to Civ.
ing intensive training in the prac.
teal subjects and in the fund'a,
mentals of the academic work as
outlined for the regular grades
The latter will be arranged so as
to be a natural outgrowth of the
Industrial projects pursued.
Miss Mary G. Hoey, who has
conducted the Opportunity Glass
successfully for two years, will
have charge of the work during
the winter session. Students TAX

portunity to observe the modern
approved methods for dealing

AUTOMOBILE DON'TS
AND HINTS

Don't let oil, grease or gasoline
remain on your tires. They all
destroy rubber. Wash only with
pure cold water and a little soap.
Don't keep a spare tire out of
use too long. Change over occa-
sionally. A tire lasts better in
use than exposed to the sun and
rain on the running board or sus-
pended ON the rear.
Don't let your rims get rusty
Common stove polish will keep
them in good condition.
Don't let the weight rest on a
Debated tire. Jack up the wheel
or remove the tire.
Don't let your axles or rims be-
come bent. If your wheel doesn't
turn free and true, your tires will
suffer.
Often a little attention to the
tire pump will make it more effec.
tive when the time comes for a
tire to be inflated.
Difficult grades can be made
with greater speed and less fuel
in intermediate than if the engine
is permitted to labor in high tc
the point of stalling.
