Knoxville, June H.-(special)-It has long been said of the English that as a nation they take their pleasure sadly; whether this be true or not 1t is becom- ing evident that we Americans are find- ing ways of doing our duty gladly It is a modern axiom that all professional people. and especially teachers. must meet frequently for interchange of thought, for mutual encouragement, and for the further prosecution of particular lines Of study. The many summer schools which of late years have been established all oyer the country give teachers abundant opportunity both for study and for recre- ation. Among the most notable of these is the great summer school of the south at Knoxville, which, although only year old, has already grown to gigantic pro portions. The remarkable success of this undertaking last year when over two thousand students registered for the ses- sion showed that an urgent need for such a school had existed Here the student can in an unusual degree combine pront and pleasure. The teaching force num- bers over ninety men and women emil nent in their profession and forms fac- ulty such as has rarely come together in any part of the country; the hundred and fifty courses offered embrace all subjects from the kindergarten through the university, and are all systematically and thoroughly taught.
 While the educational advantages are unrivaled, the delightful situation or Knoxville and the charming hospitality of its people insure to visitors pleasant ( tss&v, 6oa ann been more than fortunate in it's location Knoxville lies in the valley of East Ten nessee a section noted for the beauty of It's scenery and the healthfulness oL its climate Beautiful houses overhans the winding Tennessee river ana crown the hills and ridges. Films, poplars ana naples shade the broad streets and there Is scarcely a part of the town from which the distant outlines of the oeautl- ful blue and purple mountains cannot pc seen. The excellent railroad facilities 10 the summer resorts and points or lnler- est in the immediate vicinity or Knox vile give visitors from the nortn' the west and the far south frequent oppor- tunities of seeing the exquisite scenery of the Chilhowee, the Cumberland ana the Smoky mountains. Excursions are also made during the summer to Ashe- ville Biltmore and other well kno"h places in North Carolina.
 Remarkable as was the summer school of 1902 and astonishing as was the work which 1t accomplished, the summer scnool | of 1903 will be even more complete ana more far-reaching in it's influence. All | indications point to a large increase in attendance over last year and the Uni versity of Tennessee has provided inn proved equipment for work and ample and comfortable accommodation Tor guests. No teacher, no one who Is inter ested in education, can afford to miss the pleasure and the inspiration wnlcn VIII | ha gained by a six weeks stay in Knox vile during the coming session of the l summer school of the south.
