Ten little Indian girls from four
Oklahoma schools play amicably with
their paler American sisters in a Y.
W. c. A. camp al Tulsa. Oklahoma
this summer. Organized into ten
Indian tribes" with councillor for
each. the campers govern themselves
and hold many a pow-wow over the
camp fires. A pretty ceremony took
place the other day when Ella Jones,
a fuIl-blooded Creek Indian girl. light
ed the friendship fire. as a token Of
friendship between two races. Five
hundred Indian girls are members
OF the Y. w. G. a. and conduct the
activities of their several associations
In ten Indian schools in Oklahoma and
New Mexico. Summer camps form

ters OF our first families and the
daughters of later corners to America.
Miss Edith Dabb, who directs the Y.

lived for many years on the Reserva-
tions. Partly because OF the esteem
and confidence with which she is re-
garded by the tribes, she ranks as an

SUMMER SCHOOL ADDS
RURAL COURSE TO LIST.
instructors Teaching Manage
ment in Schools in Agricul-
tural Sections in State.
Photo by william sheweu Ellis.

Although there are some people
who think that Delaware ends south
of Wilmington il is nevertheless true
that most of the State is devoted to
agriculture. Therefore. one of the
most interesting and timely courses
given AT the University of Delaware
Summer School is in rural methods.
AZ first glance il seems absurd to
have the course in arithmetic or
English vary in a rural school from
city school. yet considering that
a city school is divided among a
large staff of teachers, each teaching
specific grades or subjects, and a
country school frequently has but
one room wherein the teacher must
deal With pupils from kindergarten
to high school age. it is obvious that
the rural teacher must be trained to
combine classes. omit all but as
sentiais and correlate the work
taught with the life OF the pupils. In
other words, the class studying per-
centage in arithmetic will be in
terested and helped in outside ac-
tivities If II is taught 10 figure out
the percentage Of various fertilizing
clements in the soil. The same
method can be worked out in English
or geography.
This course in rural school man
ageinent is under the supervision of
Miss Ira Barnes connected with the
New Castle county schools. She her
self is teaching methods. AS the
number enrolled in the course, over
140 teachers is greater than was ex-
pected. Miss Elizabeth Jenkins, pri-
mary supervisor from Waterloo
Iowa, came this week to take classes
in methods in arithmetic for rural
schools Mrs. Anna Snyder, county
supervisor for Sussex. has classes in
Reading methods. Miss Mary T.
Rich, dean of summer school, has
taken a class of experienced rural
teachers to train them in primary
methods.
Miss Edith Van Syckle is conduct
ing rural demonstration school
using for the purpose Opportunity
school," the model one-room school
erected by the Service Citizens for
the use of the Teacher Training
course of the Women's College.
With all these courses in rura
school work, the future of rura
schools in Delaware is hopeful and
| there is every reason TO believe that
this new department will mean an
upward stride in Delaware element
/ airy education.
