Announce Summer
School Teachers
Plans for Year Show Many New
Teachers-Mrs. Annie E. Snyder,
Dean of Women

Announcement has been made that
all arrangements are now complete
for the opening of the summer school
to be held at the University of Della
ware from June 26 to August 4, in
elusive. The summer session is con-
Quoted under the general direction of
the School of Education of the Univer-
sity with Professor w. A. Wilkinson
as director. The chief purpose of the
summer school is to give teachers in
service an opportunity to raise the
grade of their certificate or to work
toward the completion of the require
ments for the University Teachers
Diploma or a college degree. Special
consideration is given to the needs of
teachers in rural schools.
Examination of the summer school
announcement discloses several
changes in the faculty for the coming
session. The position of Dean of
Women will be held this year by Mrs.
Annie E. Snyder, one of the State
Rural School Supervisors. Mrs.
Snyder is women of culture and re-
finement and is admirably fitted by
training, experience and temperament
to fill this responsible position. 1t
is confidently expected that she will
prove worthy successor to Miss
Mary E. Rich who, after severing her
connections with the University, de-
clined re-appointment for the sum-
mer session this year.
The policy inaugurated last year of
utilizing the service of several of the
State Rural School Supervisors as In
structors in the summer school is con-
tlnued this year. Accordingly, Miss
Ina &. Barnes, Miss Ruby A. Miller,
Miss Elizabeth Jenkins, and Miss
Blanche Pepple have accepted posi-
tions on the summer school faculty.
All of these are experts in their res
pective fields, are familiar with the
conditions and needs of Delaware
schools and hence are in a position to
render excellent service to the teach
ers of the State.
1t has been found necessary this
year to procure the services of sew
eral instructors from outside of the
State. Professor G. M. Wilson, of the
Trenton State Normal School, will
have charge of the classes in Psychol-
ogy and Educational Measurements.
Mr. Wilson is graduate of Alfred
University, holds the degree of A. M.
from Columbia University, and has
done considerable graduate study in
Psychology in the University of Penn
sylvania. His experience as an In
structor in Psychology includes three
years at Alfred University, two years
in the State Normal School, Lewis
ton, Idaho, and three years in his
present position in the State Normal
School at Trenton, New Jersey. The
courses in Geography and Social
Science for elementary teachers will
be given this year by Miss Margaret
c. Stetser, of Chester, Pa. Miss
Stetser holds the degree of B. S. in
Education from the University of
Pennsylvania and will receive the de-
gree of A. M. in June. Miss Elsie
Sameth will have charge of the work
in Hygiene and Physical Education.
She is graduate of Cornell Univer-
sity, holds the degree of M. S. from
Columbia University, and has studied
in the University of Wisconsin, the

ent Associate Professor of Physical
Education in the University of New
ada. The Demonstration School will
be in charge of Miss Lucy w. Clouser,
who received the degree of A. M in
Rural Education from Columbia Uni
versity in February.
The foregoing, together with sew
eral members of the regular Univer-
sity faculty, will give to the summer
school teaching staff of exceptional
ability.
All summer school classes will be
held this year at Delaware College
and meals will be served in the din
ing room of Old College Hall. The
University aims to furnish room and
board for summer school students at
actual cost to the Institution. Ac-
cordingly, any surplus in the boarding
department. will be refunded to teach
