    "ocrText": "a\nM\n-4-\nWe had planned to save travel by including a series of institutes in\neach trip, (2 daya in each place). Miss Dunn was to take over the ones suggest-\ned in Trips 1 and 2 and Miss DeLaskey in Trips E and 4. I hope you can arrange\nto let them do this work as they have been making great plans for it. Miss Dunn\nas you know is assisting at Penn State Gollege this summer and will get much in-\nS\nspiration and help for this Sort of thing there.\n5. Teaching Laboratory in the District of Colunbia Chapter\na\nI think there is a great need for a téaching laboratory here at Head-\nquarters and hope you will revive interest in it as soon as the depression is\nover. Miss DeLaakey would be an admirable person to conduct this work as she\nis full of ideas and plans for teaching.\nWhile you were away, National Headquarters decided to discontinue the\nHome Hygiene program in the Chapter even though the Chapter had offered to con-\npribute $600 to Miss Andersen's salary next year. I tried hard to get the Chap-\nter to carry on independently for at least three months this fall, which they re-\nfused to do.\nMiss Andersen resigned her position to take effect after she completes\nher work at Syracuse University. She left with a great feeling of bitterness I\ntoward me, feeling that I caused her to lose her position. It is true that\ndid not need a general assistant in my department but would have been gled to\nhave her do the work at the Chapter. Mr. Fieser offered her Misa DeLaskey's\nposition is being paid a full salary for the three months after she leaves Syracuse which\nwhich ahe refused. She is not being left high and dry however, as she\ngives her practically six months to look around. After the sumner session is\nover she will be back in Washington to make her report to you. I feel\nthat now\nyou will need another assistant and have recommended to Mr. Fieser that Miss An-\ndersen be taken back. She has much to contribute as a regular assistant but has\nnot as yet shown much creative ability. She was highly regarded as an instruct-\nor over in the Chapter house and the personnel here at Headquarters who have had\nher as & teacher are most enthusiastic. Reports on her institute work vary.\nSome sing her praises loudly, others like Miss Groscop, Mrs. Brom of Gincinnati,\nand Miss Gooper of Berkshire Co., Mass., think she should not be doing this type\nof work.\nOf course it is possible that they are not competent to evaluate the\ncontribution she made to the instructors.\n&.\nTeacher Training Courses for Home Hygiene Instructors\nThe summer sessions are now in progress (or will be the first of next\nweek.) Our enrollment has been quite serioualy affected by the depression and\nmany ithdrawals have come in. Registration is as follows:\nColorado Agricultural Gollege\n18\nUniversity of California\n20\nFennsylvania State College\n15\n2\nSyracuse University\n10\n2"
