SUMMER SCHOOL FOR
TEACHERS

Influenced by a desire to be of
service to the teachers through
out the country, and by earnest
requests coming from almost
every state in which there are
colored teachers. The Tuske-
gee Institute has decided to run
"a summer school for teachers
during the coming summer for
four weeks; beginning June Goth
and closing July 18th.
The course which will be sent
out later, we understand, en-
braces the various literary
branches, together with a num-
Der of industrial courses suitable
now being taught in the public
along the various industrial lines
for the preparation of teachers
and high schools of the country.
Along with the teaching in liter
ary branches, special attention
twill be given to methods in these
subjects. The same is to obtain
with reference to the industrial
subjects, in addition to the
{
teaching of the subjects them
selves, special stress will be put
on the methods of introducing
these subjects in the public
schools and corelating them with
the literary work.
Besides the regular course OF
study there will be special lee
lures on Extension and Demon
stration work, school garden
school farm and community
attended Sophomore Fraternal Ad-
work through mothers meetings
parents conferences, etc. For
first hand information along
| these lines, several excursions
Twill be made to country districts
for the purpose of observing
model country school houses
school gardens. school farms
etc. The course III detail will be
issued within a very few days.
The cost for the four weeks in
Guiding tuition, board, room
rent, laundry, etc, will be SI2.
