Problems of Market
Gardening Discussed

Mr.. r. Earl Dickey, of Stanton,
gave an interesting and instructive
talk to the men of the Rehabilitation
unit at their morning assembly today.
Mr.. Dickey has for two years been
the director of the Community Gar
dens Work in Wilmington. He told
the men of the work in vegetable
gardening being done in that city, en-
larging upon the value and pleasure
to be derived from even small
vegetable plot.
Mr.. Dickey spoke also of the prob
lens of intensive market gardening,
referring particularly to the manner
in which this work is being carried
on in the adjacent counties of Penn
sylvania, where Mr.. Dickey for some
time carried on extensive work of a
supervisory nature.
Mr.. Dickey is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles P. Dickey of Stanton.
He graduated from Delaware College
in 1918.

DR.. Mitchell to
Address Summer School
Sunday Evening

The first Sunday evening service of
the Summer School will be of special
interest to local residents for on that
occasion Dr. Mitchell, formerly our
College President, will speak.
Every man, woman and child in
this community will think that their
special friend is the guest on this oc-
casion. No man ever entered the
college in a professional way and
knew so many people in the town as
did DR.. Mitchell. He knew them and
was interested in them and their
problems. So big reception is as
sured to him and to the teachers a
talk of inspiration and cheer.

OLD COLLEGE

With the largest attendance in its
history, the Summer School for
Teachers opened on Monday. Early
in the morning, they began to arrive
and still they are coming. Director
Wilkinson and Dean Rich had every
thing in readiness for about $50, that
calculation being based on applica-
tions and information from state and
county Boards. But the calculations
were soon thrown away and emer-
gency methods put into practice.
They came it seemed literally by
train-loads, by autos, by bus lines
until the number has reach 2S3.
Dean Rich credits the record en-
rollment to the work done during the
year by the supervisors. County sup
erintendents, supervisors, and teach
ers all seemed imbued with pro-
fessional enthusiasm heretofore un-
expressed. 1t is thought, too, that
the State Teachers organization is
also factor in this renewed interest.
A: r. Spaid, State Commissioner of
Education, was up attending to the
applications for reimbursement. Prof
H. V. Holloway, Kent County Super
intendent, and Miss Elizabeth Jen-
kins, elementary school supervisor
assisted in the registration of all
| teachers from Kent.

The four members of the new State
Board of Education, who will take
office July l, held a preliminary meet
ing at Dover last week. The members
met for the discussion and outlining
of immediate work in order that
everything may be done toward start
ing, the schools under the best possi-
BILE conditions in the fall. A tempor-
ary organization was effected. This
step was taken last week, before the
Board is regularly in office, because
Mr.. Souder expects to be out of the
State until the middle of July. He
left Monday morning on a business
trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Owing to the action of the members
of the Board at Dover, the permanent
organization can be effected on July
/, and the work started without wait
ing for Mr.. Souder's return.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION TO BE
MADE JULY 1st

A part of the preliminary meeting
was spent in conference with the
State Commissioner OF Education and
with the three County Superinten-
dents AS the new law abolishes the
County Boards of Education, the
State Board will deal directly with
khatever assistants it assigns to con-
duct the county schools. A State
Supervisor of Schools is to be en-
ployed by the new board, to have
charge of the operation of all the
schools in the State under the direc-
ton of the State Board. Commits
sioner Spaid resigned his position in
the spring but the outgoing board
took no action. Mr.. Spaid's term

Monday was spent in registration
and assignment to classes.
Miss Dora Wilcox, of the Women's
College faculty who conducted the
singing in the Summer School last
year, held on Monday night, the first
rehearsal of the Community Chorus
which is to furnish the music for the
Sunday night services throughout the
session.
Miss Olive Hartlove, trained school
nurse from the Wilmington Red
Cross, has arrived and is starting her
work which will be conducted in
connection with the medical inspec-
ton work, made possible by the
Service Citizens.
State Superintendent of Public
Schools Cook, of Maryland, will ad-
dress the school tonight. On Satur-
day evening the first social gathering
will be held under the direction of
Misses Barber, Wilcox and Bailey.
These events are the real play-times
of the School and offer opportunity
for social and professional acquaint-
ances.
Those in charge of the work are
enthusiastic over the spirit shown
and feel confident of an exceptional
session.

Professor Phelps Takes
Part in Yale Ceremony

Following his Commencement ad-
dress at the University of Delaware,
Professor Phelps of Yale presented
DR.. James Rowland Angel for the
degree of Doctor of Laws at the Yale
commencement, just before DR..
Angel was made president of Yale
University. In his address Prof.
Phelps said that the new president
instead of being Yale man, had
spent his life preparing to be one.
This opinion of President Angel,
as man whose life and endowments
give him a peculiar fitness to be the
leader and administrator of great
university, seems to be widely shared.
His inaugural address bore out, by it's
grasp of the problems before him,
Professor Phelps statement that
President Angel could speak in the
world of Education "as one having
authority"
One of President Angell's state
ments was that, "unless there are
men of outstanding scholarly distinc-
ton and attainment on the Faculty
men generously gifted as teachers
who honestly enjoy teaching, the in.
tellectual life of the institution will
languish and ultimately degenerate.
He urged better academic salaries
more congenial conditions of work
and truer recognition by the gen
eral public of the value of the produc.
tive teacher and scholar. "Other
wise," President Angel said, 81 fea,
this career will so fall away in its
attractiveness to men of high quality
that our universities will be largely
stated by inferior individuals"
