state Supt Smith of the public
schools of Maine is sending out to the
superintendcntS of schools in the state
the following circular in relation to
the summer schools to be held during
Tie season, the sessions of which will
soon begin:
NV Dear Sir-In arranging the work
of the summer schools for the year
1908 a special effort has been made
to make the courses helpful to teach
elS Of country schools.
If you contemplate hiring for some
OF your schools next year persons who
are without training or previous ex-
pcrience 1 believe such persons would
go to their work with higher concep-
ton Of teaching and with a greater
likelihood Of success if they should be
engaged upon the condition that they
attend one of the State summer
schools
If you have among your teachers
those whose work has not been Who'll
~ satisfactory during the year and
YOU are doubtful of the cxpcdicncy of
retaining them for another year, such
teachers might be rc-cngaSed with the
understanding that they attend one of
these summer schools.
The school authorities of several
towns report that they have offered to
certain ambitious teachers higher sal
aries for next year provided they at
tend ono of the state summer schools.
You will aid teachers of these three
classes by urging their attendance.
You will note that the courses will APP
peal to teachers in grade schools as
well as to those of rural schools.
Circulars regarding the schools may
be obtained upon application to the
principal as we'll as to those of rural
schools.
Circulars regarding the schools may
be obtained upon application to tn"
principaI of any of the Normal Schools.
T hope to have the opportunity of
meeting you a. one of the supcrintcnd-
ent's meetings to be held in connection
with the summer schools.
Very truly yours.
PAYsoN SMITH.
