Richmond, April LIST, 1893.
Superintendent

The above notice in the April num-
Der of the Virginia School Journal
fully explains itself. But in order
that may make the desired report
intelligently and with any degree of
accuracy, I must first hear from the
Accomac teachers, or those proposing
to teach next session.
Full instructions touching the said
normal institutes are published in
the April number of the Virginia
School Journal.
1t is needless for me to say to our
progressive and appreciatlve teachers
how important are these annual
summer efforts to aid, instruct and
advance the teachers of the public
schools of Virginia-Accomac's rep
resentation for the past few years, at
home and abroad. fully confirms
this. 1t is equally well known, that
very many of our worthy and sue
cessful teachers are prevented from
attending these summer Normals by
the small salaries usually paid, but
as rule it is money well invested.
The progressive teachers are always
in demand. Hoping to hear from q
goodly number ut once and to have
the pleasure of reporting same to the
central office.
Very respectfully,
JOHN E. MAPP,
Co. Supt. Schools.
