The Summer School

Another Summer School, This to us is
the brightest ray of hope in the future of
education in Delaware. A few more years
and the teachers Of the State are going to
give expression to their knowledge and ex-
perience and demand rightful voice in the
administration of our schools. In the past
legislators and taxpayers have decided what
was needed and how pitiful the compensa-
ton should be. The teachers who knew best
and who sacrificed most were never con-
suited. Even during the last session of the
General Assembly when the School Law was
made the football of politics and prejudice,
the teachers were not even granted the cour-
tesy of hearing. Yet they were effectively
organized and solicited an opportunity. But
the Summer School Sessions and the Teach
ers' Organization will eventually correct
this.
The teachers we are glad to record, are
sensing their responsibility outside the class
room. They are beginning to realize their
influence for good and are recognizing that
parents as well as children need instruction.
This Summer School is wonderful In
stitution. Not so academic perchance as the
classic atmosphere of the College year, but
just as vital in the happiness and safety of
the State. That the teachers appreciate the
opportunity is shown by the consistent popu-
larity and attendance. And they should.
Back in 1917 after the Minimum Salary
for teachers had passed the General Assem-
bly,, Governor Townsend in his delight said,
What else can we do for the teachers. The
State should pay their expenses at the Sum-
mer School," The next morning at his sug-
gestion bill was prepared, presented and
passed. Thus came into Delaware the
present system of Summer School Training
for Teachers.
Other states are forging ahead of us in
salaries and teacher training which means
that out of this Summer School must come a
School of Education at the University,
worthy of the name. 1t is of sufficient i'm
portance to challenge the authorities. It
should be at the University and as a separate
department of instruction-a School in itself.
No other School in the University can serve
as immeditely and more effectively. The
teachers will probably take an interesting
part in such organization. The time and
need is here. It's coming to the University
or elsewhere.
Teachers ask for it at your University.
