Smyrna District
Teachers Attend
Summer Schools
During Vacation

Twelve of the teachers in the
Smyrna Special School District
believe in the adage, Turn
about is fair play" because
these teachers have become stu
dents for the summer. About
twenty percent of the teaching
staff in the district are follow
ing courses of study in various
universities to better prepare
themselves to meet the chal-
lenges of teaching. Some of the
teachers are taking courses in
the field of education and 9TH
ers in the subject matter fields.
Many are working toward ad-
vanced degrees of master or
doctor in their chosen field. The
teachers known to be at sum-
mer schools come from all three
of the schools in the district,
Smyrna High, Smyrna Element
ary, and the Thomas D. Clayton
schools. Miss Inez Burton and
Joseph M. Orlando are working
at Temple University; DR.. Louis
F. Galloway is following his
courses at New York Univer-
sity; and studying at the Uni
versity of Delaware are Mrs.
Elizabeth Getty, Mrs. Theresa
Holmes, Mrs. Mabel Joseph,
Mrs. Mildred King, Mrs. Pauline
Matthews, Thomas c. Mulligan,
Mrs. Elizabeth Pryor, and Philip
A. Toman. Mrs. Geneva t.
Wood is attending a university
in the South. Most universities
with a school of education real
ize that during the summer ses-
sion great number of teachers
will be on campus. For this rea-
son they schedule wide range
of courses which will help the
teachers in their professional
development. For example, at
our own state university, 81
courses have been set up in the
field of education alone. This
does not include the courses in
the various subject matter fields
such as math, art, English, his
tory, ETC., which are also of ben
eft to teachers. The teachers of
our district feel a responsibility
to keep abreast of new ideas
and new approaches to learning.
Year after year a large percent
age of the teachers of the Smyr-
ma Special Schools avail them
selves of the opportunity which
these summer classes afford.

Canning Industry
With Proclamation

Gov. Boggs has cited Della
wares role in the growing and
processing of canned foods as
having played a substantial
part "in making the United
States the best-fed nation in
history" and of helping to PRO
vide the people of our own
State and of distant parts of
the nation with the dietary and
health benefits which stem
from scientific agriculture and
modern processing methods" in

of 20 different kinds of foods.
Among them are canned chick
en-, jellies and jams, relishes,
mushrooms, dessert puddings,
olives, pumpkins and squash,
apple juice and cider as well as
seafood items. Delaware's an
nual pack of fresh green lima
beans is traditionally the ma
tons largest and, together with
Maryland, their packs of green
beans is the third in size in the
Country. The first State has
no less than 27 processing COM
panies with 36 food manufac-
turing plants and, together
with their neighbors, New Jer-
sey, Maryland and the Eastern
Shore part of Virginia which
are included in the Tri-State
Area make up the largest con-
centration of food professors
anywhere in the world. In ad-
dition to the many millions of
