Nature Of Summer Study.
"There will be classes in theory and
practise of teaching, methods Of super
vision and SO forth, the work being
given by two different teachers. This
affords chance of getting different and
more IDEAS. One teacher may be a little
weak on one subject on which the other
is strong, and vice versa. Usually the
instructor of one Of these branches is
the director of the school.
English and expression work vii
form the subject Of special instruction.
By means of illustrations the meaning
of the words is more forcibly explained.
As You draw you tell the story.
Language and literature win be
taken up in connection with this, but
the work win be in charge of another
teacher.
History is divided up into general,
, which covers. ancient, medieval and
modern, and then there are American
: history and Hawaiian history. In get
ting primary certificate. we only re.
/ quire knowledge Of American and Ha-
] waiian history, but general history is
. one of the necessities for grammar

On the subject of mathematics Mr.
Pope said: " For the primary grade
only arithmetic is required, but for the
grammar grade knowledge of algebra

essary. These different studies in
mathematics are usually taken care OF
by one instructor.
Zone instructor also will look after
geography. That covers the geography
of the Territory and of the rest of the
world, taking it up along lines of &C
3 tiyity, such as transportation, com
/ mercial and SO on. For example, il
