BRIDGEVILLE
School News

An extension course 'ScnOOl Gul-
dance" is being given at the Bridge
vile school under Prof. Helm of the
University of Delaware. This is be-
ing given in response to the plea
made by Bridgeville teachers to DR..
w. A. Wilkinson.
About twenty of the BridgeVille
teachers have felt need for the
course and are spending time, ener-
gy and money in order to- get it.
When twenty of the teachers Of any
school voluntarily do work of this
kind, it surely speaks well for the
spirit of the school in general.
Under the guidance of Prof.
Macklin, the elementary school tea
chers are working hard to improve
the reading in the elementary
grades.
The teachers meet every two
weeks, discuss aims, objectives,
problems, literature and many other
phases of reading. One of the out
standing things which is being done
is the compilation of a worthwhile
library list for each grade.
The attendance for the month of
September was good. The parents of
the children are to be congratulated
on their efforts toward making it so
high.
