once HAVE SUMMER SCHOOL.
pssion from May 23 to July 1 viii
~ Bo Hold in Walhalla.

Ehe County Board of Education,
realtzing the urgent need for profess
si01al training on the part of Oconee
teaNhers, have decided to have a
suIHmer school for white teachers at
Walhalla, beginning May 2Sth and
closing July lst.
Rhe members Of the board were
Influenced by three factors in MAX
ipg8a decision for this school: First,
every teacher that is worthy of the
name is anxious to improve her work
so that she may be able to give more
and&better service to +he community
in which she is employed.
S9cOnd, a large number Of the
teaSpers in the county are teaching
on&one-year permits. 1t is absolutely
neoassary that teachers holding these
permits attend a summer school If
theSsWish these permits renewed for
another year, and, knowing that 1t
woYldSbe hardship to some Of the
teacAers to go out OF the county to
attemG other schools, the board
brought the school to the teachers.
TMd, the Anderson Summer
SchoM has been abandoned, fact
whicMmakes it more imperative that
the c6mty have it's own school.
Thare will be absolutely no fees
or .clmrges for the privilege Of the
summer school. Those who can como
from Elome will have no expense ex-
cepts Chat of books. Those who can
not Gome from home each day will
have 1.-THE expense Of board in Wal
hallaE,Som teachers may prefer TO
do light housekeeping.
The. opening Of the school Is a lit
tie eafly, but this is done in order
thatIthe teachers may have two
weekss rest before the opening Of the
sumilnsr terms Of the rural schools.
SuptsJ. Pierce Coates, of the SEN
eca High School, has consented to
act as director Of the Oconee Sum
mer3& School. His experience as ?
teac achersSfrom a one-room school to
an instrgctor in summer schools for
teachefH with his professional train
ing atMbeSState University and Pea
body College for Teachers, make him
an tdeRlEinan for the place. He, as
sisteH Sby8an able faculty, will give
courssY. Y.a IN prim mary, ,s methods, civil
tsS getigra IL us ati timatie,
Bnglish5 algebra and history or phys
iology. S|A
The subjects just mentioned are
the fundamentals. They are the ones
that should be taught most thor
oughly and efficiently in every school
room in the county. The instructors
will try to teach these subjects in
such way as to bring out the best
methods along with the content.
Every teacher in the county will
receive very soon letter calling her
attention to the sumWer school. The
director wants to know as soon as
possible just how many teachers
want to avail themselves Of the op-
portunity of attending. Therefore.
every teacher who expects to take
advantage Of this opportunity is
asked to write Mr.. Coates at Seneca
Teachers, the summer school is
yours without cost. What will you
do with it? Respectfully,

BEST SEED CORN
rs NONE TOO GOOD

* "A. G.. Army, in charge Of farm crops,
University Farm, says that, lone Of the
most important nsideratiOns in grow
ing profitable corn crop is to; secure
a good stand. In Minnesota an average
stand of four to FIVE plants per hill
fairly evenly distributed usually gives
the highest yields of grain, and an
average stand Of four to five plants is
desirable for silage prod uction. 1t takes
good seed corn to secure this average
stand even when the soil is in good
condition at planting time. When the
soil is somewhat cold and wet at plant
ing time, seed, which would give good
stands under favorable conditions, Is
not equal to the occasion. The results
are poor stands and comparatively low
Yields. The only safe way is to have
seed corn Of the highest terminating
power and yigor every year. Then, II
conditions at planting time are not as
favorable as usual. the chances for Sc
curing the desired stands are good any
way. Save seed corn early and dry and
store it properly. It pays. B Z.
