DIR. COOKS LETTER TO SCHOOL
TEACHERS.
Baltimore, Md. September II, 1922.
To County superintendent and
Teachers:
Subject: SUMNER SCHOOL ATTEN-
DANCE AND EXTENSION
COURSES

COl RSES.
From the inquiries which reach
this office from time to time, it seems
that there may not be clear under
standing and a uniform practice with
regard to requiring ,5dci.vrs to at
tend summer school.
The law stipulates that in any
year in which Il ten-day institute is
not held in a county the county board
OF education must require at least
One-fourth of the number of teachers
in that county to attend a summer
school which has been approved by
the State Superintendent of Schools
and that the county superintendent
shall have authority to designate the
teachers who are required to attend
summer school under the provisions
of this act.
It is the obvious Intention OF the
law that every teacher. even if she
holds a life certificate or a certificate
calling for no additional preparation
for renewal. shall 90 to summer
school at least once in every four
years. Such summer school attendance
is entirely Independent of teacher 5
certificate status, although it is. OF
course, necessary for teachers of GER
tain grades to present additional
credits even oftener than once in four
years for the renewal of their certifi-
Gates.
wish to make sure that every
county superintendent understands
his authority and duty in this matter
and l shall assume that, beginning
with the first of September, 1922, ev-
cry elementary and high school teach
er or principal in the State is being
required to attend summer school at
least once in every four years.
All extension credits earned under
the direction of institutions approved
by this department will be rated as
are the State extension courses, that
is, sixty recitation hours will be
counted the equivalent OF a quarter
of a year. Such courses. however, can
not be nsed twice in succession fo1
the renewal Of a certificate. Kindly
take this fact into consideration when
advising your teachers as to the pos
sibility OF substituting extension work
for summer school attendance.
9 Extension courses are not accepted
in lieu of the initial six weeks pro
fessionaI training required by law fol
second or a third grade certificate
nor are they counted toward the hall
years work beyond normal school
graduation required for an elemen'
tary school principals certificate. OF
toward the first half of the require
ment in Education for high schoo
teachers or principals certificate.
Furthermore. extension courses es'
peciallv designed for elementary
school teachers and completed subse-
quent to September l. 1922, may be
counted only toward elementary
school teachers certificates, or, un-
der the proper conditions, for the re-
newal of such certificates.
/ Kindly note that extension course
credits do not exempt any teachers
from attendance at summer schoo
once in every four years.
Sincerely yours,
ALBERT S. COOK.
