The Summer School for Teachers.

EDITORS INTELLIGENCER: presume
the people of Anderson County would
enjoy reading something OF the great
teachers school now in session at Rock
Hill, not for the reason only that 1t is
doing work which is Of general interest
and of great importance to the whole
State. but also because many OF her
teachers are here, preparing themselves
for doing more efficient work in the
highest calling Of life-fitting boys
and girls to live life completely-to
sustain the proper relations to their
fellowmen, whenever and wherever
they meet them.
The school opened Thursday with an
enrolment of about $50, but each in
coming train brings others, until the
dormitories are all filled, and the au-
thorities have been compelled to place
bedroom furniture in some OF the par
lOrs and offices. There are now about
$50 in actual attendance upon reclta-
tiOns.
Notwithstanding the immense crowd
the accommodation is all that could be
wished for, indeed it seems there is
little more confusion or trouble IN
handling and providing for the large
number than there is in the ordinary
family, so perfect is the Organlzatl0n
and so adequate are the buildings, and
their appointments. No place IN the
State could have been more suitable
for Just such an institution, and Ger,
tainly the teachers could have found
no more cordial welcome awaiting them
anywhere than has been extended them
by Winthrop College, and the town OF
Rock Hill.
There are regular recitatlons con-
Quoted in great many departments
and there is plenty Of work, hard WORK,
for all students, but with this one inds
some time for social intercourse, and
| it has been q great place for the re-
newing of old friendships, We have
met many of our old college chums,
and find great delight in rehearsing the
many pleasant incidents of college
life; indeed, some of us fellows feel
like we were nothing more (nothlng
less, mean, for cur wives are not
here than college boys again, and
some Of the young (7) women, ven Weii
they are real spry and gay. You
would think they had never been cross
in their lives; no, not even in school.

taken:
