Statement Touching The Ability
of The Faculty. The Requirement
Being Met And The Pledge for
The $4,000 or More is Being
Redeemed.
The requirement OF the General
Board OF Education is being met
slowly but surely, and to do this
has required both time, patient and
labor. In order to have the Summer
school located in the City of Dali
las, $4,000 had to be pledged in
advance, and the pledge is almost
redeemed except one of the pro-
visions that 100000 or more should
be raised out side of the tuition in
order that none except first class
instructors should be employed. This
part of the provision has been COM
piled with and the teachers are
rady for their pay.
Prof. L. b. Ross, post graduate
of the University of Chicago, and
of two other colleges, has been en-
ployed and he is a teacher of class
A, and holds up his reputation as a
man of letters. Our own j. w.
Wilson, the dean of Mathematics in
the Colored high school, is also
the dean of Mathematics in the
Summer School, and sustains the
name of Fisk University as a wor-
thy alumnus. Then too, Prof. p. e.
Goldthwaite comes from Lincoln
University, an institution that ranks
first among the schools of high
grades, is charge of the science de-
80 ca,
Miss e. f. G. Merritt is in charge
of the Method-System Department,
and it goes without saying that her
ability is known throughout the en-
tire country as an educator, having
held the position in the city schools
of Washington for twenty-five years,
and also as trainer of teachers at
Cheney, Penn, for fourteen sum-
mers where many teachers attended
from many states during their sum-
mer vacation.
Miss Dixie Applewhito, the in
structor and demonstration OF Home
Economics, is from the famous
Tuskegee Institute, has accomplish
ed good work preparing the teach
ers who wish to impart this infor-
nation to their pupils next fall in
the rural districts
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Eva Weems
have been in charge of the primary
and high school subjects in the chill
dren department together with Miss
Merritt, who has handled the tots
of the low primary as well as the
third and fourth graders instruct
ing them as an observation class.
N. w. Harllee handled the
subjects.
Altogether, the Summer School
which will close during the next
two weeks has been a remarkable
school in many respects, both for the
work accomplished and for theI
large enrolment, which is about
l40 all told, in which Spanish, La
tin, English, Methods, Educational
subjects were taught by specialists.
