GEOKGIA HIGH
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
SrtwTtHrSummr~Bchol'’"M®an*' for
the Advancement o* High School*.
•
, Th teachers in the high schools of
Georgia generally receive higher sala
ries than teachers In the lower
schools, and the terras are longer
than the terms In most of the rural
schools. These high school teachers
should become the leaders of educa
tional reforms and activities. They
should patronize more freely the Sum
mer Schools, the chief agencies to
put them in touch with modern move
ments. There is a great and increas
ing demand to re-order education so
that it may minister more directly
to the life needs of the children. This
calls for the vocational trend in new
subjects, and a remodeling of our
older subjects. The following will
give some idea of the courses offered
and the talent secured to reach the
high schools through their teachers
in the Georgia Summer School.
English.
Miss Elvira D. Cabell, A. B. (Chi
cago), the head of the English depart
ment of the Chicago Normal College
and a teacher of superior reputation
has been secured to give a course in
‘High School Literature, and a course
In the Teaching of Composition. These
are two most important subjects of
ten not well presented because of
difficulties. Miss Cabell will be a
groat help to all English teachers
who come to the Summer School.
English Grammar will be given by
Dr. S. V. Sanford, author of the State
adopted text. Professor Steed of
Mercer University will give courses in
Shakespeare and in the Novel, lie
will also give a series of interpreta
tions, lecture readings, of great mas
terpieces, leading to a genuine insight
and literary appreciation essential to
inspiration in the teacher of litera
ture. Dr. Sanford will give a compan
ion series on Tendencies of American
Fiction, and Dr. Park one on Literary
Criticism.
History.
With Dr. McPherson in American
History, Professor Payne in European
a.nd Ancient History, and Dr. Brooks
in Southern History and Civics, the
field of history must bring forth good
fruit for high school teachers. In
addition, there will be offered a
course in Geographic Influences in
American History with Old World
illustrations by Dr. F. A. Millidge
(Chicago), now Professor of Geog
raphy in the Normal College of
Virginia. Another course especially
valuable for teachers of history and
of geography will be the course on
International Relations. This course
will present an interesting and valu
able study of conditions, geographic
al, industrial, social, and political in
Latin America, as the basis for furth
er extension of principles of interna
tional relations. It will be given by
a distinguished man sent by the Car
negie Endowment, Dr. J. G. McDonald,
now at Madrid, Spain. We are all so
little acquainted with our American
neighbors that this will be a valuable
course for all.
High School Science.
High School Science has been a
perplexing problem. Dr. Clifton F.
Hodge, of the University of Oregon,
author of Civic Biology, will give a
course based on his book offering a
solution to the problem of first-year
science. Dr. Campbell will give a
course based fcn Bailey and Coleman,
and an additional course in Biology.
3)r. Hendren will give a course based
on Clark's General Science, also a
course in Physics and Laboratory
work. Courses in Chemistry, general
and household, will be given by Dr.
White. These indicate how science
mill be canal lor.
Agriculture.
One other illustration will be giv
en. Agriculture is one of the modern
subjects calling to the high school for
treatment and sadly in need of teach
ers, Tim College of Agriculture is
responding to the call with courses in
the Summer School for teachers who
should inaugurate this work in many
town and rural high schools. Even
\ the city schools should have the Na
ture Study and Gardening, if not
more.
Professor Fain will give a course
in General Agriculture, Professor
Crabb in Soils and Field Crops, Pro
fessor Goodwin in Animal Husbandry,
Dr Mcllatton in Floriculture and
Gardening, and Professor Hart in
Manual Training and in Farm Me
chanics. This is anew field ford he
Summer School, but one whose call
for the needs of Georgia should meet
with ready response from teachers.
Other Courses.
Mathematics, Household Arts, Phy
sical Education and Athletics, Draw
ing, Psychology, Music, and Foreign
Languages will be as strong as the
departments above outlined.

This story can give only this brief
of what the Summer School is pro
posing to do for high school teachers.
These courses nearly all extend into
college fields, carrying the teacher
over and beyond courses as given in
the high school. College courses are
offered, and a series of graduate
courses leading to the M. A. degree.
Adapted to the needs of Georgia and
the kindred South, teachers cannot
get so many valuable courses else
where. The strength and richness of
the 1916 Georgia Summer School
should be a source of pride to all
Georgia teachers, and their apprecia
tion should be shown in their re
sponse to the offerings.
STATE EXAMINATIONS FOR
TEA( HEES’ CERTIFICATES
The dates for state examinations
for teachers’ certificates from the
summer school of the University of
Georgia, have been set and are
August 4 and 5. This will be at the
close of the summer school session.
These examinations, of course, are
all that are required of a teacher at
tending the summer school, who In
tends to teach in the state.
His Age is Against Him.
“I am 52 years old and have been
troubled with kidneys and bladder
for a good many years,’ writes Ar
thur Jones, Allen, Kans. “My age
is against me to ever get cured, but
Foley Kidney Pills do me more good
than anything I ever tried.” Rheu
matism, aching back, shooting pains,
stiff joints, irregular action, all have
been relieved.” Sold everywhere.

Where Teachers Romp
And Play Like Children
Tne games and play of children in
school has come to be considered a
very necessary part of the education
of the child. The teacher’s guidance
of the children in their plays is
scarcely less important than class
room instruction. What to do w r ith
the children during the play periods
has, therefore, come to be considered
an important part of the knowledge
of the teacher. Play as well as study
must be organized and directed much
of the time, and the play spirit is
invaluable throughout life.
At summer schools the play life of
the child has an important place on
the programs. In fact no part of the
summer school work is taken up with
greater eagerness. That it is highly
enjoyable is readily believed when
one witnesses with what childish
abandon the grown-ups join in the
plays, the games, folk dances, page

school both physically and mentally.
The swimming pool is intensely
popular especially with tho women
who seize the opportunity to learn
how to swim, dive and do aquatic
stunts. The gymnasium comes in
for a share of attention, the tennis
court and twilight games vie with
other in popularity.
Information for Women,
Housework is trying on health and
strength. Women are as inclined to
kidney and bladder trouble as men.
Aching back, stiff, sore joints and
muscles, blurred vision, puffiness un
der eyes, should be given prompt
attention. Foley Pills restore healthy
action to irritated kidneys and blad
