George Peabody College for
Teachers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 8-An
event of epoch-making signifi-
canoe in the educational world will
be the opening on June rs, of
George Peabody College for Teach
ers in this city. Peabody is the
first teachers college for the en-
tire South. Leading educators
the country over are interested in
its successful launching and, as
the opening is in a summer ses-
sion when teachers in institutions
for higher education are not en-
gagged in their regular work, many
of the most prominent school men
of the country, men who could not
have been brought here through
any salary consideration, are CON-
ing to Peabody to teach during
the Summer session. The result
will be the assem- bling in Nash
Vile of a group of educators such
as has never before been brought
together in the South. This fac
ulty will offer to the teachers of
the South more than 200 courses,
covering every phase of education
al work, and the whole adapted to
the peculiar educational needs of
the South.
George Peabody College for
Teachers as an institution is itself
one of the most interesting of re
cent developments in the educa-
tional field. 1t IS organized in its
school of education for giving in
a complete and extensive way the
higher training for teachers in
courses of undergraduate and grad
uate rank, such as are not provi-
ded anywhere else in the South; !;
in its school of country life for
the improvement of conditions in
the home, on the farm, for the bet
terment of child life through the
country schools, and for the en-
tire readjustment of rural life; and
in the school of applied arts for
adapting the student to his voca-
tion.

in charge, does not duplicate the
work of either the state normal
schools or the state agricultural
colleges, and IS not in competition
or conflict with any of them. The
work in the school of education, it
is stated, is above that done by the
normal schools, from which its
students must be largely drawn.
The work in the department of
rural life is designated primarily
for men and women who expect to
devote their lives to teaching in
the country and to other rural life
leaders, such as country ministers,
officials of farmers cooperative
organizations, and farm demon
strators.
The school of applied arts Co
ordinates with the department of
education in much the same way.
It's purpose, as stated by the teach
ers in charge, is the training of
teachers and supervisors who will
be able to see that the girls in the
schools of the South have oppor-
tunity to get the best start for i'm
proving the home through cooking
and sewing and home decoration,
and that the boys in the schools
shall have similar advantages in
learning how to adjust themselves
to the industries in which they
shall engage, by means of courses
presented to them in wood work,
iron work, carpentry and the like.
These unique features of the in
stitution have enabled it to bring
together an unusual faculty for its
first summer session. The student
body will be made up of teachers
from all sections of the South, and
in that way, too, it will be gath
ering of unusual educational
interest, since the individual
teacher will have at once an op-
portunity to get in touch with
leading educational authorities
and to exchange ideas and ex-
periences with other Southern
teachers of all grades and from all
sections.

il Is believed that some of the Next
cans keepers and guards aided them.
The recruits who were left were put

vestigation was begun did any OF them
say a word.
Hard Task Still Remains.
The task of separating the innocent
from the thirty-six remaining murder
ers is most delicate, for all of them
now claim TO be substitutes. However,
the work is progressing slowly.
The recruits do not want TO leave
the prison and when they are freed
they volunteer to remain and work for
their keep.
The old fortress is now a model or
cleanliness. The wet underground
cells are closed and everything else is
as sanitary as it can be made The
food is real food and the treatment
humane.
The recruits who have gone to work
are only allowed to toll four hours a
day because OF their physical condi-
ton. They express their gratitude for
their treatment and any time 1t Is
suggested that they can go into the in
terror as refugees they raise protest.
1t means they would have to go back
into the army.

Mrs. Martinez is an American, and

Closer watch showed that once
