TEACHING PROBLEM
Our Teachers Are Receiving Hearty
Cooperation
WOMEN'S COLLEGE HELPFUL

Is it worth while TO prepare to teach
in Delaware ? Determined efforts for
cultural background are seen on every
side. Book wagons deposit their
treasures at the remotest schools. Par
ent-Teachers' Associations supplement
the necessary textbooks with the
treasures of literature that are our
heritage. Women's Clubs busy them
selves with the collection of pictures in
order to help the teacher make the
work more real and more beautiful.
The new school buildings that are one
after another displacing the worn-out
structures OF the past are not only the
best that can be obtained from the
standpoint of hygiene but are harmoni-
GUS in design and color. In such ways
as these the Delaware teacher is sup.
ported in the desire for the something
outside of the routine of the days
work.
Just as determined are the efforts to
increase the. store of the tools of teach
ing and the mastery of their use. A
state Teachers organization brings to
its annual meetings the great profess
sionaI leaders of the nation. Summer
school and extension classes keep the
teacher in touch with the best thought
on educational problems. The school
nurse and doctor study the health of
the children and place their findings at
the disposal of the teacher. Admins
traitors are busy studying school condi-
tions and achievements to the end that
the teacher may have scientific basis
for the work.
As to the material-the human ma
terial of instincts, emotions, desires
from which the teacher must build
there can be no question. The tore
fathers of the children of Delaware
have been to an unparalleled extent the
builders of the nation. 1t is the chill
dren of these builders who are waiting
for you as teachers to make of them in
their turn structures able to bear their
share IN the work of the state and of
the nation.
WHY PREPARE FOR TEACHING AT THE
WOMEN'S COLLEGE
There are many advantages in pre-
pairing to teach at college. Primarily
there is the cultural background that is
essential to genuine teaching. At the
Women's College, University of Della
ware, there is every opportunity for the
student teacher to gain such back
ground. There is the association with
instructors who are masters in their
fields, there is the well-equipped library,
there are the laboratories, the Home
Economics Practice House, the indus
trial arts equipments; besides, there is
fellowship with other students pursuing
other lines of work and following other
interests-t those who are looking for
ward to chemistry as their work, to
art, to literature, to journalism, or to
household arts.
To teacher who will work with chill
dren from the varying walks of life
such contact at the beginning of her
| career is invaluable,
