( versity of Alabama summer school TOT
teachers is in full swing with the larg-
est comparative enrolment In it's his
tory. Two hundred students were reg
istered during the first two days, in spite
of unfavorable weather conditions. Woods
hall, the handsome dormitory recently
remodeled, was filled by advance res
ervations and every bit of available space
in the buildings on the campus will be
put into service before the enrolment
ends. The overflow will be accommodated
| by private boarding houses in Tusca
loosa. 1t Is expected that the total en-
rollment for the session will approach
| the 400 mark.
| The increased enrolment this summer is
peculiarly gratifying to educational lead
ers In the state, because of the fact that
the lowest grade of work, that required
for the thrd-grade certificate, has been
discontinued and all the students at the
summer school are teachers pursuing adj
vanced work as candidates for life, first
or second-grade certificates. This is the
seventh annual summer school of the uni
versity, and the advancement made in
| the teaching forces of the state as reflect
ed through the enrolment Of, the sum-
mer school, is a promise of better edu-
| cational conditions in Alabama in the next
few years.
