SUMMER SCHOOL
PLANS MADE
Notification Is Issued BY De-
partment of Edu-
cation.

The following notification on the
plans for the summer school has been
issued by the Department of Public
instruction:
"The department of public instruc-
ton of the Territory of Hawaii has
arranged to conduct a summer school
in the Territorial Norman School In
Honolulu for the purpose of improving
the members of its teaching force, and
other eligible persons, who wish to
take the examinations required for
teachers certificates. This school
will also give such other instruction
as will train for principalship.
THE summer school is to be con-
Quoted for a period of six weeks dur
ing the months of July and August
next. The present spring term closes
June 23, and the summer school will
begin July 5. continuing to August Is.
The regular examinations offered
yearly by the department will be held
on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
August 16, II and Is respectively.
This arrangement leaves a period of
four weeks vacation for the teachers
In which they may rest and get set
tied In their assigned places before
the beginning of the next school year
which has been set for September Is,
1911.
mo tuition fee will be charged. All
teachers who are In the employ of
the department or who have been en-
ployed as teachers may be admitted.
Candidates must be eighteen years OF
age.
Candidates will be examined and
certificates granted under the new
rules OF the department. Those at
tending the summer school will no
given credit for their class record In
the final examination.
Last year the summer school was
organized by the department OF pub
lie instruction and supported inan-
cially by a number Of our citizens
throughout the Territory. These peo-
pie recognized the need OF improve
ment In our public school system and
cooperated with the department in
making the first step a success: 112
persons successfully passed the ex-
animation and were granted certii-
Gates. We believe that progressive
move on the part of the teachers had
much to do with the legislature giving
the public schools liberal appropria-
ton for teachers salaries. The new
school year will find these teachers
being paid according to very liberal
schedule.
THE legislature also showed its
confidence in the good work of sum
mer schools by making an appropria-
ton for summer school for each
year of this biennial period.
This summer school will be very
much along the lines of that of last
year. Those teachers who completed
Il part of the work last year can fin-
ish the work this year. Those expect
ing to attend should present their
names to the department for regis
tration as early as possible. Regular
attendance and thorough work are ex-
pected throughout the entire term.
1.-THE appointment OF uncertifcated
teachers at the June meeting of the
commissioners Is with the under
standing that such teachers will Sc
cure their certificates before the open
ing of school next September.
"The department has booklet
ready for distribution which contains
extensive outlines of subjects that
will be taught. These booklets Will
be useful to those attending the school
ms well as to those not attending who
wish to look over the work somewhat
before taking the teachers examina-
ton. These can be obtained from the
department on application"
