Present prospects indicate the lar
Sest enrolment in the history of the
Summer School at the University of
Delaware. Judging from the number
of teachers that have requested room
assignments in advance" Professor

predict that the students enrolled will
exceed the three hundred and twenty
five mark registered on the opening
day last year"
The 1924 school will open on Mon
day, June 23rd, with registration day,
and every teacher who expects reim-
bursement according to the State law
must be present on Registration Day
since no absences are excused except
for serious and unavoidable reasons.
