THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Very Successful Session Closes Today -
Total Enrolment Reached
FOrty-fOur


The summer school for the teachers
OF Newberry county, which has been
in progress during the past month, will
close today. The session has been very
pleasant and very successful. Prof. S.
j. Derrick, of Newberry College, and
Miss Hattie X. Pope, of Greenville,
who have had charge of the school,
have done faithful and successful work,
and the session has been of great bene-
fit to the teachers who have been in at
tendance.
The total enrolment reached forty
four. Compared with previous years,
this is good enrolment, but when
taken in consideration with the number
of teachers in the county for whose
benefit the school is conducted, it is
small. But year by year, as the teach
ers have experienced the good to be
derived from a summer course which
will fit them for more thorough work in
their high profession, the attendance
has beer increasing, and the schools
for the teachers are coming more and
more to be regarded as of almost equal
Importance with the schools for the
youth.
The sessions were held in Boundary
street graded school building.
