Mr. Editor: I wish I had the time to write yon fully abont many of the excellent . things the teachers of the summer tchool are enjoying. In t.d - ?- -n. anion to tne nnny vaiuatne courses ui study .that are beiog offered by the various members of tbe faculty which is exccedirglv strong Ihis \ear, several iectures arc being given by various prominent u,en and these are proving of tbe greatest value and interest. Already Prof. Hammell, Prof. Angder, Dr. Cbas. Foster Smith, and Dr. J. P. Kicard have lcclured to large audience?. Without doubt the most inleresliDg and instructive of these lectures was the one by Prof. Haramell on the 6nbjecl of wireless telegraphy. Prof. Hammell is in charge of ths department of physics, bere in the vummer school, and is doing most practical work, his pupils makiDg all the necessary apparatus in the class room. From the very first his regular course of study has grown in popularity with the teachers here in attendance, and bis extra work in manual training has been equally enjoyable. Having won su:h laurels to himself by his class room work, all were anxious to greet Vim An iVio Thfln tnn Ihn UiUi VU WUV V1MVIV4 A UWW attractiveness of having a lecture on so new and great a subject as wireless telegraphy increased the interest in the lecture and ihe lecturer. Instead of being, as many would have supposed, a dry, scientific lecture on an obstruse subject, it was a simple conversational discussion of a simple principle of science, illustrated by num3rous drawings and a full set or telegraphic apparatus. Simplicity of language and manner characterized the hour that was so er>j ?yed by all. To bernii with there was apparatus lllus ~ ~ C k t tratingibe very hr#.*.:..~e of telegraphy, when Ihewii. to u.c return current was used. Tbeu the second step of ihe use of the ground wire was Hlnstrat'd in f-nch a simple ard prrc tical way that even the very young might have understood it. Next came the third stage?the use of no wirp at all?and this third in fact i<? the > m. plest of all. Suffice it to say that Piof, Ha mm ell had his receiving apparatus on the rostrum in the chapel and the sending machine in a distant room. I No wire connected the two, and yet a message was sent, though two walls intervened. Not only was a naestSLgr sent, but by a means of a curre?.generated in the way a light was lighted.

As soon as She lecture was over, I tried to arrange with Prof. Hammell to come to Winnsboro to give our town the benefit of his great work, and ^ after several days he b*6 arrauged his g work to be with us on the ?veniog of t the 15th of this month. Prof. Davis ? most heartily endorses tie idea of t having him with us as does also Mr. c Matthews. Both of these will have t something to say in regard to Prof. Hammell as a man and as a lecturer. 1 am sure that Winnsboro has not 1?? -x ; T E naa a more lmereisuijg jeciure eiuro x . have been in the town. Tbe great ? interest centers in the wonderful ? talent of the man who lectures and the c simple way in which he presents a snbject of which be is a master indeed. I might add ihat Prof. Hammell was one of tbe first Americans to test the nse of the Xrays, and that with these he has performed seme experiments that bare thrown much light on medical praetic?. All the apparatus be aees was made by his own bands, and fl is of a very high order of workman- I ship. In Prof. Hammell'a presence one is before one of tbe greatest teachers of physics in America and an inventor of the highest order. To kno v is to aiimire him. and (be more 1 you know hiin the greater tbe admira- b tiou. I am sore I have been very g fortunate in fecuring him to lecture in a Winnsboro, anJ I hope, Mr. Editor, c that \oa will do all you can through f your paper to encourage a large nt- ? lend-itce. lam pnre thit rvt?ry.mai, | woman ai.d child that hears him will ? be grateful that it has been their 8 privilege to bear so distinguished a ? man discuss so new a subject.
