Mr.. GLASS STIRRING UP INTEREST

1t has been determined by the Depart
mont of Public Instruction to hold only
two Peabody Institutes next summer
one at Tappahannock. the other, the
School of Methods at the University OF
Virginia.
The faculty and other details of the
Tar,panannock school are not yet reaay
for publication, but will be given out
later.
All general arrangements for the School
OF Methods are about complete
1t will be seen that q new departure has
been made, which II is hoped Will be OF
far-reaching Importance. To the school
as heretofore organized has been added
n university course To be taught by the
professors of the University of Virginia.
Eight OF these professors have already
been engaged. and other university
courses, Spanish, for instance, and Greek
will be ADDED to the course if there seems
TO be a sufficient demand for them. In
fact, the hope and purpose IS that the
movement Will eventually grow into a
summer session of the University of Nir-
ginia, as complete in all its departments,
doing the same work and offering every
advantage of the regular term
one OF Inc great lcdluit - VI Ills SS4i'1ot
will DC the English Department. DR..
Charles W. Kent. professor of English at
the University of Virginia, Will have chlef
charge of university work He Will offer
practically the A B.. university course
IN rhetoric and literature, and VIII give
r. certificate of graduation in this coarse
for all those who complete and take the
examination This certificate. while not
having the Official endorsement of the
leo
teachers now teaching or who expect TO
teach in the high schools of the State.
1t is hoped that at least hundred teach
ers will take this course alone. The other
professors of the University will also give
similar certificates in their respective de-
partments.
MUCH ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
The school OF methods besides adding
lhs university feature, will be enlarged
and improved IN other particulars. ts-
pecally lay a complete model school. IL
Illustrating all phases of elementary and
grammar grade work. Eight department
teachers viii be engaged for this school:
they viii be under the SUPERVISION Of
Miss Florence holbrooke, OF the Forest
willie Public Schools of Chicago. Miss
Holbrooke is the author of Inc 1liawatha
primer Around the World in Myth and
Song and other works in literature, all
OF which are used III her school, This
sschpOl the center OF attraction among
the public schools OF Chicago and rs
visited every Year by from two 20 three
thousand teachers superintendent and
normal school principals. Probably 10
feature of the School of Methods has
ever been before presented of SO great
possible value TO the elementary teach
cTs of the State as this model school will
be. Some have complained heretofore OF
Too much theory in summer schools.
Here will be Illustrated by actual prac-
lice in the school room with children,
the very best work done in the country.
The Virginia School Journal viii be
used this year as the special organ of
the School of Methods and will be issued
semf-inonthlS.. a copy going TO every
teacher. principal, trustee, and supcrin-
tendcnt in tho State.
A DISTINGUISHED FACULTY,
Mr. T. c. Glass, for twenty
+hree wears superintendent of the
schools of Lynch5urg, is again the con-
ductor Ut is a We'll known fact that the
public schools of Lynchburg have scarce
~ an equal in the South. Mr.. Glass IS
largely responsible for this. His adj
n.irable Board, however, has given him
excellent support. For a number ot
years Mr. Glass has been at the head
OF the Virginia School of Methods, until
1t would seem unnatural not 10 INK MS
