The county hoard of education has issued a circular letter to teachers about the county teaohora' Institute and Principal B, L. Jones has also Is sued a circular describing tho course of study, both of which will be found below: The Laurons County Summer School will bo hold in tho Graded School build ing at Laurens. beginning at 10 o'clock u. m., Juno 8th and continuing for four weeks, closing on July 4th. Tho State Superintendent of Educa tion lias appointed B. L. Junes, Superin tendent City Schools, as Prinolpal, and Miss Josephine MeSwain, of Cross Hill, Assistant. Mr. Jones is regarded us ouo of tho leading Graded School men of the State. Ho graduated at Nowberry College In 1803, and has coasolossly boon doing Ecbool work over since. His first work Was in tho Nowbcrry Graded School un der Supt. Kvans. Ho taught two years In the public schools atColoman, Texas. Threo years he was Principal of one of tho Public Schools of Columbia. Do foro coining to Laurens ho was Super intendent of the schools In Yorkvillo. For two years ho has beon sowing most efficiently tho patrons of tho Laurens City Schools. Ho always takes an active part in our County Teachers' Association, and Is over ready to lend a helping hand in any movement that wl'l tond to improve the school conditions lu tho county. Ho has had experience In Summer School work both In Texas and this Stato. We consider ourselves fortunate in getting him to accept the npimintment. Miss Josephine MeSwain is from a family of teachers. She has thoroughly prepared herself to teach, and is well qualified to do most elllciont work. She is a full graduato of Winthrop Normal CoUo^e: also of tho Woman's College at Baltimore, where sho spent three years doing post graduate work. She has been teaching most acceptably In the High School Department in the City Schools during tho past session. On account of her scholarly attainments her services have been sought by some of tho loading school men of the State. Tho following course of study will bo pursued: Civil Govornmout, Physiology and Podagogy, by Mr. Jones. English Grammar, Literature and Composition, by Miss MeSwain. Petermun's Civil Government, Buoh lor's English Grammar, and Hutchison's Physiology will bo used. The teachers, howover, may bring othor text books that thoj may have on these subjects, as thoy will bo urged to inako, a thorough study of each one of these branches. In addition to the above course, If the teachers so desire it, Mr. Jones will givo a course in constructive Geogra phy, making school apparatus: globes, maps, charts, color outllts, etc., or he will givo Prof. Win. C. A. Hanunel's course in manual training, consisting of paper folding and card-board cutting. Only teachors, or those preparing to teach, will bo enrolled. All those ex pecting to attend are urged to be pres ent on tho first day. Tho instructors have a1 certain amount of woi'k to do, and every day lost in the beginning will dotract and interfere with tho work dono. Tt will bo obligatory upon all who onroll to attend tho entlro session unless providentially hindered?-do a full month's work and tako tho final ex amination. Those desiring a good time and getting through with as little work as possible aro urged not to come. It will bo taken for granted that all who attend possess the true spirit of teach ing and desire to lmprovo themselves by such work as will enable tbom to or ganize, conduct and teach a school more effectively. Due credit will bo given those who desire certificates or renowals upon at tendance of this or some othor summer school. Everything will bo dono to make tho work both pleasant and profitable. The County Hoard is now arranging a series of lectures on some of the leading school problems of tho day. There will be a special Trustee Day, and we hope to havo tho majority of tho trustees of tho county to hoar addresses from some prominent educator of the State. In short, wo hope to start an Educational Campaign Movoinont this summer, that will finally result in improving the con ditions of ovory school In tho county. Tho oxponses for board for the month will be from $10 to $15. Arrangements havo been mado whereby soveral of the rooms at tho college building can be used by tho mon f reo of cost. By bring ing their cots and taking their meals elsowhoro their oxponso can bo reduced to a minimum. A recoption will be given to tho teach ers and their frlonds Monday night in the chapel of th*e college building, be ginning at 8.30 o'clock. Thoso who wish to attend will notify Supt. Charles F. Brooks or Supt. B. L. Jones at once by letter, stating whether they wish boarding places selected for them. Wo ask for the co-operation of all in terested in improving the educational conditions to make our school a success. Ciiart.es F. Brooks, 11. E. DA nn, W. M. Bryson, County Board of Education. physiology?mr. jones. The structure of the human body as God's most wonderful handiwork. A close study of the organs of the body and their special functions. A study of tho fundamental principles of physi olgy as a means to a more complete living. The class will study from outline, so that any good text books may be used. The following are recommended: Mar tin's Human Body, Blairdell's Practi cal Physiology, Steel's Fourteen Weeks in Physiology. The members of the olass are urged to bring such books that they may have on the subject. Tho Stato adopted text, Hutchison's, will be made the basis of the work. civil. government?mr. jones. The purpose of our public school is to furnish better citizens to the State.? With this end In view Civil Govern ment should be taught in evory school. It will be the effort of the instructor to show that the subject can bo made of intense interest to pupils of the inter mediate grades by correlating It with geography, history and current events. Elements of Civil Government by Peter mau will be used as a guido in the work, and again tho teachers arc requested to bring other books on the subject, such as Fisch, Macy, Wlllougbby, Lansing, or any that they may have. If we con lino ourselves to Poterman's our work will not be satisfactory. English grammar?miss McSwain. Buehiers Grammar will be studied as tho text-book, but other grammars will bo used for reference. The course will cover the entire book, special em phasis being placed on the more impor tant parts that the olass may get a clearer grasp of tho principles of the subject. To this end discussions and quostions on doubtful points will be givon. Methods of teaching grammar and ideas for making the study more interesting will be suggested. The correlation of grammar with literature and composition will not be overlooked, for the three should be closely connect ed in all grades, Literature and Composition?Miss McSwain. Llteraturo? This course will Include tho study of the following classics: Hawthorne's Wonder Book, Coleridge's Ancient Msrlnor, Eliot's Silas Marner, Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal and pos sibly Shakespeare's Macbeth. The object of the course will be to muko the class familiar with the texts and to give the teachers suggestions on methods of teaching literature. Mem bors of the class will bo called upon for their methods and opinions. Time in class will bo devoted to literary in terpretation and criticism, and reading aloud of selected portions for correct onunciation, pronunciation and expres sion. Composition- Composition may be closoly correlated with literature; for a study of literature Is necessary for tho formation of good style, and cer tainly an understanding of the principles of composition is needed for the appre ciation of good literature) No better topics for composition can bo found than those taken from literature. We hope to have much practice in the study of tho sontenco, the paragraph, and the whole composition. manual training ? mr. jones. ''Education Manual Training, or sloyd, has for Its object the develop ment of the pupil in certain definite di rections by means of systematic exor cises. It has in view the cultivation of habits of neatness, carefulness and ac curacy, tho acquirement of self-reliance and consciousness of power, and certain self-respect togethor with a wholesome regard for bodily labor, tho development of tho powers of observation and atten tion, the training of tho eye and tho hand, and It harmonizes those objects with tho child's growth mentally and physically, and correlates them with tho usual classroom studies."?W. C. A. Hammel. A two year's course In paper folding and card-board construction will bo offered the teachers. Teachers desiring to attend should Immediately notify Supt. Charles F. Brooks. The teachers are urged to bo present on tho first day?.Tune 8th at 10 a. m. Respectfully, B. L. Jones, Conductor. In Menioriam.
