Summer schoel of the South.


As many of the readers of thi.
paper are deeply interested in the
program of the Summer School OF
the South, which begins in Knox
vile in July, and as many of the
teachers of this and other States oil
the South, will attend its session and
lectures, we print the following ex-
cellent article about the school and
its advantages, which is taken from
the editorial columns of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, and we
know it will prove of interest to our
readers:
The. announcement of the Summer
School Of the South for 1904 is an at
tractive pamphlet both in appearance
and contents.
The school begins on the 18th of
June and continues until the 5th of
August. The railroads will sell round
trip tickets for the price of one first
class fare from all points in the South.
A personally conducted excursion to
st. Louis at the close of the session
will offer the teachers of the South At
lantic States an excellent opportunity
to visit the exposition at reasonable
rates and under the most favorable
circumstances. Tuition is free and the
only charge is the small registration
fee which admits to all classes, lee
lures and entertainments. The usual
arrangements have been made for the
boarding and lodging Of students.
This Summer School has been for
tunate in its location. Knoxville lies
in the valley of East Tennessee, a Sec
finn nnfnd for hn IF
cry and the healthfulness of its eli
mate. The scores of watering places
scattered within a radius of fifty or
sixty miles testify to those facts. 1t
lies along the west bank of the Ten
nessee river and rambles back through
charming valleys and over the crest
OF some half-doZen or more foothills
OF the mountains. Beautiful homes
overhang the river and crown the hills
and ridges. Films, poplars and naples
shade the broad streets, and smooth
white pixies wind out through the
mountain ranges that all but surround
the city.
The campus of the University of
Tennessee is never lovlier than in
summer; the buildings are green with
the LEAKAGE of ivy and the smooth
grass of the hills and the foliage of
elms and naples give an assurance of
grateful GOODNESS and shade The au-
ditorium is well planned and ventilat-
ed, capable of seating comfortably
5000 people; the platform is excel
lently arranged for speaking and has
facilities for lecture experiments and
illustrations. In this auditorium stu
dents will have the opportunity of
hearing lectures of special and general
interest by eminent members of the |
faculty, and of listening to other men /
and Tomen prominent in the world of |
thought; such as Dr. G. Stanley Hall i
of Clark University. DR.. John Dewey |
of the University of Chicago, DR.. Ed |
win A. Alderman of Tulane Universe |
ty, DR.. J. Mark Baldwin of Johns Hop |
kins University, Mrs. Ellen Richards
of the Boston Institute of Technology,
Dr. Arnold Tompkins of Chicago, DR..
Richard T. Ely of the University of
Wisconsin. DR.. Charles D. McIver of
North Carolina. DR.. Alcee Fortier of
Tulane University, Prof. Edward Liv
ington Barbour of Rutgers College,

The past sessions of the Summer
School have been most successful. The
work accomplished and the thoughts
and ideals interchanged will be last
ing inspiration to Southern teachers.
