TEACHERS IN SUMMER SESSION
Many subjects Pursued at o. A. c.
With Unusual Interest in Pedagogy
of Manual Training.

| OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, June 25.-The end
Of the first week of the summer
school sessions Of the Oregon agricul-
tural college witnessed about 200
teachers from various parts Of the
state studying and working to improve
their efficiency in the public schools.
Observing the energy with which the
teachers do their work makes it hard
to realize tat they are very largely on
their vacation. After nine months Of
difficult and nerve-racking work
teaching school it would hardly seem
that the teachers would have strength
their vacation period in an effort to
improve their teaching powers for the
benefit of the parents and children OF
their districts. This feature is made
still more emphatic when it is con-
sidered that the work is all done at
their own individual expense.
The work carried at the college
this summer carries a wide variety
courses and there are a few teachers
at least in most of them. one of the
most insistent demands is for instruc-
ton in teaching manual arts in rural
schools. Teachers have written nu-
merous letters to the summer school
authorities asking that this work be
furnished in this years summer
school and stating that it is one of
! the most difficult phases of the rural
school teaching, Boys on the farms
: are Of themselves beginning to recog-
nize the fact that since it is necessary
for them to do some shop work both
! in woods and metals on the farm that
the school should equip them to do
this work in a satifactory manner.
This demand is often put up to rural
school teachers who have neither the
/ knowledge nor skill In the subject and
who are required to learn both the
subject matter and satisfactory way
TO teach it If they respondn to the de-
mand quite naturally they come to
the Industrial arts department of the
college for help in solving this diff
cult problem, some people coming
from states as far distant as the Mis-
sissippi valley to take these special
courses,
