The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-07-05

of Athens have turned their attention
to the summer school The outlook is
now favorable to a very much larger
attendance this year than last, and
those in close touch with the situation
believe that the attendance will reach
as high as 1000. The attend
ance last wear was 60. repre-
senting IA states and as many
as 81 counties in this state. 1t is es-
timated that the good effects of the
school last year were felt by more than
100000 children in the state, and this
year it is believed that fully double
that number will be benefited.
There are many reasons why the
teachers of the state should attend the
school, chief among which is the fact
that it presents them the best of all
opportunities to perfect themselves in
Eheir work. The management has
mapped out two courses of study for
the special benefit of those who wish
to stand examinations for the COM
mon school teachers licenses. There
will be a second examination by the
state school commissioner in Deem
Der and this course of study will pre-
pare the teachers who take it for a
successful examination then.
The benefits to the common school
teachers from these courses of study
can hardly be estimated. as is album
dainty shown by the improved work
of those who were here last year and
who were so well pleased with their
successful work that they are coming
back again.
Then, too, the visit to Athens is in a
large way a summer outing. For in
spite of the fact that the teachers will
be at work with their studies while at
tending the school, they will have time
to partake of a number of delightful
reCreations.
One of the main advantages held out
to the teacher is the fact that atten-
dance here enables the teacher to Sc
cure better positions. It is a fact that
last year the summer school manage
ment was able to find employment for
forty of the teachers who attended
and that during the coming session
there will be equally as large a num-
Der of requests made upon the man
agement for the supply of experienced
teachers at different schools through
out this and other states
The following general information
Will be of interest to those who may
be contemplating attendance upon the
school this session.
