Old Delaware to Have
Another Physical
Training Instructor

Through the assistance of the
Alumni Association it is probable that
the University of Delaware will have
an additional instructor in physical
education who will also coach football
and track.
At the meeting of the Alumni Asso-
citation on Saturday President Walter
Hullihen of the University, told of
Professor J. NJ. LeCato, for two years
track coach, resigning to go to Johns
Hopkins and appealed to the alumni
to give financial assistance towards
securing another man who could be
used as track and football coach. The
Wilmington, Philadelphia and New
York chapters guaranteed to raise
certain amount and with what can be
raised with alumni not members of
any of those chapters, it is expected
that $1,000 will be secured to go
towards the salary of such a man.
Cubbage, several years ago a star
llnesman on the Penn State team and
now football and track coach at V. P.
l., has been suggested for the position
but nothing whatever definite has been
done in the matter.
H. B. Shipley who has been head
coach for two years has been retained
for another year.

| college as compared with those
in most other states. They have
become keenly alive to the de-
fects in their own elementary
and high school education. As
they have realized the possibili-
ties of the elementary school,
and the breadth of knowledge,
the culture, the strength of char
acter, the skill and adaptability,
the power of leadership, the high
idealism that should characterize
those who would undertake to
teach little children they have
felt that even four years of
work would not adequately pre-
pare one for this undertaking.
During these two years the
whole college has made greater
progress because of the under
taking of this work. Through
funds provided for the financing
of this course we have all Sc
cured the efficient services of a
trained librarian, and have made
many valuable additions to our
library in the fields of science,
art, literature, music, psychol-
ogy and education; we have all
had the advantages of music,
art and other courses which we
could not have had without this
financial help; and lastly, some
of our student body came to us
because of the introduction of
this work; some of our sweetest
singers, many of our most en-
thusiastic athletes, and number
of our finest students we owe
to it.
Now the college is sending
them out into the elementary
field, the first group to be so sent
the pioneer group, and with
them into their work will go the
interest, the heartfelt good
wishes, the confidence of both
faculty and students. AS they
go out to serve our state and
college by working to help raise
the level Of education in the
state, the college will still con-
slider them a vital part of her,
body of prospective Juniors, who
will after two or three years at
most, return for two more years
of help and inspiration before
continuing work in their chosen
field.
And this must be but the be-
ginning. One swallow does not
make a summer and one, or even
two, such groups of trained ele-
mentary teachers can do little
alone. Scores of the finest and
most intelligent of our young
women must be led to realize the
dignity and Importance of the
elementary teacher-sO many
that the college can refuse to
accept in this course any but the
best. Perhaps then in time our
state will rank in education with
the best, and our college turn
out graduates inferior to none.

RAISING THE STANDARD OF
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
From the Won1en,s College Reporter

Can a man lift himself by his
own boot straps? We smile at
the absurdly ludicrous picture
our imagination conjures up at
this question. Even Eistein as
yet has not worked out way to
accomplish this. Yet has not
our college until the last two
years been attempting some
such feat? Presumably we have
been trying to raise the general
level of education in our state,
yet we have centered attention
largely upon college work, and
have striven to improve our
college courses and equipment
per- Sc, doing little as a college
for the thousands who never get
beyond the high school, and TAX
ing little thought of the pre-
paration of our own students be-
fore they enter college.
Two years ago, however, we,
along with many Of our most in
tluential citizens, began to get
broader view, and to realize that
only as the elementary schools
of the state are improved and
mOderniZed can the standard of
education for the mass of the
people be elevated. We began to
realize, too, that even our own
college cannot go forward, cam
not hope to rank among the ac-
credited colleges of the land, or
to have her graduates recogniz-
ed by such organizations as the
American Association Of Uni
versity Women, until the stu
dents who apply for admission
to her doors have had the sort of
elementary, as well as high
school training, upon which the
best type college work can be
built.
1t was the result of this real
ization that the college, with the
financial aid of our unique Or
ganization, the Service Citizens,
introduced two years ago the
course for the trainiip& of teach
ers for the elementary schools, a
course planned to cover the first
two years of a regular course in
education leading to a B. S. de-
gree, but specially arranged to
meet the needs of those expect
ing to work in the difficult field
of elementary education.
TWenty-seven students ap-
piled for admission to this
course, and during the past two
years they have been busily en-
gagged mastering modern meth
DDS of teaching together with
underlying principles, as well as
acquiring knowledge, skill and
appreciation along many lines.
They and many students in other
courses, have had their eyes
opened to the marvellous pro-
gress elementary education has
been making in other parts of
the country while Delaware has
been mapping, and they no
longer wonder that many of our
students are poorly prepared for

Although there was never the
slightest whisper of scandal concern
ing the Empress, the number of men
who worshipped her were legion, and
they represented all ranks, national
tiles and characters, a number of
whom the author meagrely refers to.
Granted the Emperor consulted his
consort on all political matters,
what asks NJ Filon, was this
so strangely exaggerated and dis
torted? Who invented the Empresss
party? Certainly not the Empress
and as certainly not the members of
the party, since none existed. Dur
ing my three years of court life
could never discover the least trace
of this imaginary party. If there was
a party of the Empress, she never
belonged to it; she belonged to the
Emperor's party. She had in poll
tics her ideals, or If one prefers it,
her utopias; but politics as business
she abhorred. What she put at the
service of her husband was her gift
of intuition, her unerring instinct.
Often he disresarded her advice;
sometimes after accepting it he
changed his mind, but she never took
it ILL.,"
The Empress's party grew out of
the belief that the Empress was on
the side of Clericals as opposed to
Napoleon, who more or less sym
pathized with the aims of Garibaldi

and no more" says her biographer.

ting the chances of success gradually
diminish with the years" 1t was in
no sense Eugenie's war.
Eugene has been blamed for advis-
ing the Emperor not to come back
to Paris after he had left Metz to
spare Gen. Bazaine embarrassment.
But her advice was the advice of her
Ministers, and in the secretary's
opinion on retrospect, the best ad-
vice.
When she was asked to abdicate
early in September she replied with
dignity: IF the corps legislatif thinks
that | may be an obstacle and the
name of the Emperor may be an
obstacle rather than a rallying point,
let them pronounce our deposition. I
shall not complain; ! can then quit
my post with honor. l shall not have
