Exceptionally Competent Facul ty Selected--Special Lecturer From Carnegie Fund. The coming summer school session of the University of South Carolina promises to be very successful in every respect. The management of the summer school feels safe in asserting that no other summer school in the country has a set of instruct ors of a higher average of abil ity or fitness for the work un dertaken. Each member has been selected with but one thought in mind-- his peculiar fitness for his special work. This school, (luring its two years of past existence, has drawn to it as high average of equipment and experience as any school elsewhere. Those in attendance were of the best teachers in the State. They came for work and they did it. It was once looked upon by many as mere summer outing, but now idlers and drores are but little attracted to the serious work of the present day summer school. The State summer school un dertakes to assist the principals and teachers in their tasks. To it they come for increased schol arship, exchange of experience, renewed inspiration and change of surroundings. The aim is to give training in the subject mat ters,which high school teachers have to teach, add to the teach ers' stock of scholarship, and to make some study of the high school pupil. One of the courses to be given at the summer school this year will be, if the demand is suffi cient, methods of library work with special references to school libraries, given by the librarian of the University. The summer school will again have a lecturer from the Carnegie peace fund, who will deliver a course of lectures on international peace. It is sincerely hoped that the teachers thruout the State will take advantage of these and many other advantages offered .by the summer school of the U1niversity of South Carolina. .Mr. J1.
