Miss Simmons of Stockton Springs,
has been secured as training teacher
for the Summer School for teachers to
be held in Athens the first two weeks
In August. Miss Simmons was form
erly critic teacher in Castine Normal,
for eighteen consecutive years and
has the reputation of being one Of the
very best instructors in method work
in the State. For the past two seasons
she has had the training OF the teach
ers in Waterville.
This plan for summer school gives
the teachers and prospective teachers
of Athens and neighboring towns an
opportunity for special training near
home; this is something Of novel
plan in this part of the state, being
the first of the kind we have ever
had here.
Superintendents of other towns
both local and district superinten-
dents and representing both the
smaller and larger towns of our coun-
ty are offering their teachers the
same inducements to attend this
school as to attend the State summer
schools. The subjects to be taken up
will be School management, Reading,
Arithmetic, Language, Nature studies
and Drawing. Special attention will
be given to method work for the en-
tire term. The work will be taken up
in such way as to meet the condi-
tions as they exist in the rural schools.
1t is expected that an opportunity
will be given for teachers to take the
State examination at the close of the
term; it is also expected that state
superintendent Payson Smith will
visit the school and have talk with
the teachers and give public address
in the hall.
The school will be under the care
of Supt. G. @. Hight.
