Been of the Very Best.

Chapel Hill, n. c., July 23.-(Special.)
Interest in all departments of the UNI
versity Summer School continues to the
end. There never was a more faithful
body Of teachers. The original program
of the lectures continues and there has
been order and system about the school
from nine o'clock Tuesday morning, June
%. until the close today. The attendance
has represented every class of schools,
the college men and women, the public
school teachers, the private school teach
err. rhe principals of academies. the SUI
perintindents of city schools have all
gained knowledge and inspiration from
the lectures and the instructors. The
Faculty, consisting of twenty-five strong
men and women, have worked intelligent
ly, earnestly and faithfully. They have
done all in their power to help the teach
ers. They knew what the teachers need
ed and have supplied their wants. 80
satisfactory has been the work that there
has not been one out of the 1S5 teachers
ATTENDING who has not praised the school.
Every one is enthusiastic over the future
Of the school, The teachers will work for
the upbuilding and uplifting Of their
noble profession. Teaching demands
much OF those embracing it, it yields i'm
mense power over it's subjects. 1t can
never, therefore, be outside citizens
duty, foreign to patriotic heart, or alien
to Christians obligation to see that the
teachers of our State be so trained as to
meet the responsibilities resting upon
them.
The Latin classes have been unusually
large. The teachers Latin was taught by
Prof. MCLAUGHLIN, of Wadesboro, n. G.
1t is to the hurt of our State that Prof
MCLAUGHLIN will teach next year in Tex
as The advanced Latin was taught by
DIR. Linscoth, Phi. d., from Chicago Uni
versity, and associate professor Of Latin
in our University. DIR. Linscoth lectured
yesterday afternoon on Methods and
Aims Of Classical Study" He spoke Of
the Importance of classical study, its
place in the words Of thought the study
Of Latin, it's place in education. Latin
should be studied: 1. Fund Of informa-
ton. g. Accurate observation, logical in
ference and power of originality. 3.
Breadth of sympathy and interest. a.
Technical or professional skill. The dis
cussion was thoughtful and we'll stated.
The arguments for a rational method of
teaching Latin, the speaker drawing on
his own experience, were helpful.
The librarian Of the University says
that the library has been used more and
the books read have been Of higher or
der than ever before.
Supt. Toms lectures twice every day.
During the entire session there has been
regular work ON Saturday.
The teachers will leave on this af-
ternoon and Saturday morning, but Cha
pei Hill will have the law class and a

versity opens on September 6. The pros
poets are good for an increased enroll
ment next session.
| Miss Mary A. Bryant, of Ogontz
| school, lectured Thursday evening on
George Eliot as Interpretation reading.
1t was a most charming talk. The
| thought, diction and presentation were
of the highest order. Miss Bryant's lee
lures in the Summer School were among
| the most attractive features and many
of her students will return to study her
course next summer.
Prof. w. ID. Day, of the University
faculty, has taught modern languages III
the Summer school.
There have been two classes in French
and one in advanced German. 1t speaks
well for the instruction that the major
ity of those who took modern languages
were teachers in colleges.

on Tuesday morning, June %, and closed
with work at o'clock July %.
