The first summer school ever 'held
at the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College will come to an end Saturday
sending out from the Institution mere
than eight hundred students who
came here three weeks ago to attend
the beginning term of a regular es
tablished summer school at the col
lege.
In view of the fact general condi
tion3 throughout the country are be
lew normal, owing to the war existing
between the United States and Ger
many, it was not expected that a large
attendance of students would, be here
this year to attend the first term of
the summer school. However, for
several days before the institution
opened up, more than five hundred ap
plications had been received from
those (seeking admittance to the school
and with the beginning of the second
week iicre than eight hundred names
had been entered upon the roll of stu
dents.
The G. N. and I.. College summer
school, In Its first term, has proven a
success beyond the expectation of the
most sanguine, and while the first
term of the institution is only the be
ginning of the South’s greatest sum
mer school, the appearance of the
hundreds of students have already ad
ded new life to Milledgeville.
The work at the summer school this
year has been varied and the classes
[aught during the term have obtained
valuable information that will no
doubt result In material benefit in the
furtherance of equipment of the many
teachers from over the state takin
advantage of the opportunity afforded
them here. Each day during the se
eral weeks the school has been in ses
sion, notable speaker,.- were present to
deliver valuable P.nd instructive ad
dresses t.long the lines # of modern
methods of teaching. This featuYe
alone lias contributed much valuq to
those attending the institution.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday
•morning the majority of the summer
school students will begin to leave for
tlteir homes in every section of G-eor-
nbout measures of relief jgia, besides a large number here from
f v:ar, such as is being other states in the South.
Thcugh the present term of the
summer school will last only three
weeks, as a beginning in the estal)^
lishing of the institution, the term
next yehr and each year thereafter,
will he expccted'to operate either six
or eight weeks each'summer.
