THREE SUMMER SCHOOLS
FOR MARYLAND TEACHERS
State Board of Education Establishes
Three Summer Schools at Ocean
City, Frostblrg And Towson.

With the object of furnishing in
struction to Maryland teachers in
service, and to prospective teachers
| in all grades of schools below the
! high school, with as little cast to
/ them as possible, there will be con-
| Quoted during the coming summer,
| under the direction of the State
! Board of Education, training schools
! for teachers at Ocean City, Towson,
| and Frostburg The aims of these
| schools, as set forth in an attractive
bulletin recently issued by the State
Board, are as follows:
l. To meet the minimum require
ments of professional preparation for
teaching in the State, viz: at least
six weeks attendance at school of
pedagogy.
,. The renewal of teachers GER
titicates, which require six weeks d-
ditional professional preparation for
those of second and third grade.
). To meet the requirement for
advancing the grade of a teachers
certificate.
Me. E. Clarke Fontaine, principal
of the Pocomoke City High School,
has been elected by the State Board,
Director of the School at Ocean
City, which will begin its sessions On
June 25th, and continue until Aug
ust End. Enrolment at this school
will be limited to those teachers TAX
ing their first summer session to
meet the minimum professional re-
quirements for first certificates, and
to high school graduates of this year,
who contemplate teaching next year.
The State Board of Education as well
as the County Superintendent and
County Board of Education strongly
recommend that all teachers who
are teaching this year on provisional
certificates and who intend to con-
time in the teaching profession,
make their arrangements to attend
the school at Ocean City, in order
that they may have the requisite
qualifications for regular certif-
cate when school opens next fall. 1t
is expected also that the substantial
increase in minimum salary provid-
ed for by bills in the present Mary
land legislature will attract to the
teaching profession many high school
graduates, who will also be enabled
to qualify for regular certificates by
attending the school this summer.
All sessions of the school will be
held in the State Educational build
ing, the registration days being Sat
urday, June 22nd; Monday, June "a,
and Tuesday, June 25. The regular
instruction will begin on Tuesday
morning, June 25, and all students
are urged to complete their regis
tration by Monday afternoon.
There will be no charge for tut
ton and no registration fee, and ev-
cry effort will be made to get rea-
sonable rates for teachers at the
leading hotels and cottages. 1t is the
idea of the State Board to provide
for the teachers and prospective tea
cheers of the State an opportunity for
professional preparation and profess
sional improvement, at centers near
the teachers home, at as little ex-
pense as possible.
In addition to the Director, the
following instructors have been cho-
sen: Miss Hannah A. Kieffer, A. NJ,
Rural Supervisor of Queen Anne's
county schools; Miss Frances H.
