The fourth week Of the Summer School
of Methods ended yesterday. with over
one thousand pupils in attendance When
| the school shall close finally on the 3lst
Instant it is thought that a large num-
Der OF pupils will have been enrolled In
the last two weeks of the session.
Professor u. G. Glass, director OF the
great school. said this afternoon that
in the value of the work accomplished
| this session the school this year Is much
ahead OF any year since 1889. when 1t
was established.
! Teachers are at the school this year
| from fourteen States OF the Union.
OF the III cities and counties OF the
state, 81 are represented In the Scfool
Of Methods this year.
There are % teachers here from Rich
mond; II from Norfolk and Lynchburg
each; 80 from Newport News; 20 from
Petersburg. and q from the county or
Pittsylvania. 1t is needless to say that
Pittsylvania leads over all other counties.
The Richmond teachers have been most
prominent in the work of the school. and
especially In the social features OF the
session, which have been very numerous.
Professor W. N Hamlet, of the Rich
mond High School, has made himself ex-
tremely popular with everybody by his
to teach chemistry. but he has done
little of everything that was calculated
to please or to help. l saw him this
morning hard Mt work with saw and
mallet and chisel. showing a pupil how
to execute a model In the manual training
school.
