Thinks OF the People at Chapel
Hill, and the Work They are
Doing.
Editor 13gus:
One coming to Chapel Hill, as
l did to day, knowing nothing of
what is being done at the Uni
versity Summer School for
Teachers, will be agreeably sur
prised to find such a large gath
ering Of teachers and other peo-
pie of culture; and will be in
fected at once with the spirit Of
study that pervades the atmos-
phere Of this cool, green, quiet
spot. There is more intellectual
activity to-day in Chapel Eill
than anywhere else in North
Carolina. For here a goodly
number of the leading teachers
of the State-men and women
are gathered together for study
and mutual Improvement.
My excuse for asking space in
your paper for this letter is.
that many teachers, in our
Graded School. and others, have
come to me for information CON
cerning the University Summer
School. 1t has been impossible
to tell definitely, before the
school began, what would be the
work in each department. But
the school opened Monday, the
teachers have got down to busi-
ness. and [ wished to come, see
for myself who are here, what
is being done, and through the
ARGUS tell the teachers of our
part of the State and any other
Interested persons. For [ would
advise all who expect to teach,
as we'll as actual teachers. to
come to this school, if they can
possibly afford it. Indeed l
should say that few teachers that
have not \had the advantage OF
collegiate education and normal
instruction, can afford to stay
away.
This school has the best faculty
of any normal school ever in
North Carolina. The following
schedule of daily exercises will
show the faculty and what is
being taught. The chapel and
recitation rooms of the Univer-
sitv are used, so that several
recitations may be conducted al
