The new oity hall, the summer school

_jlt is gratifying to The Banner to note
that the summer school movement in
aiB city is receiuing the endorsement of
the press of the state outside of Athens.
The following editorial, from the Atlan-
Constitution of yesterday will show
the feeling through the state :
The communication of Professor Mar
vin M. Parks, of Savannah, elsewhere
this page, must forcibly Impress all
Georgians with the crying necessity of a
properly organized and supported sum
mer school as a permanent Institution in
the Empire State of the South.
The excellent summer school of the
State Normal school, which opened at
Athens Tuesday with an attendance
three times greater than upon any pre
vious opening session, is proving to
tally inadequate to meet the extraordi
nary demands upon it. We are in
formed that many men and women
who had arrived in the Classic City to
participate in the educational benefits
the summer school were, upon the
day, unable to find room in the
dormitories, and that the residents of
the oitv were appealed to to take care of
them. The limited facilities of the
school are severely taxed otherwise, and
there is little donbt but that a number
pupilB who would have attended un
der more favorable circumstances will
this summer remain at home, or, if not
too late, go elsewhere.
Through negligence in this important
matter the Btate of Georgia is doing her
teachers and the great cause of ednea
tion undoubted harm. If, as Professor
arks states, live hundred teachers
leave the state every summer to take
advantage of the benefits offered by the
normals of other Btates, north and south,
no further exposition of conditions at
home is necessary to convince any citi
zen of Georgia that normal reform will
brook no delay. If this large number
of teachers must go elsewhere for com
petent normal instruction, it is a reason
able presumption that many more than
that remain in the state without the
benefit of the desired inBtrnotion, for it
takes money to reach and sojourn at the
summer school of a distant state, and
the average Georgia pedagogue is not
burdened with a cash surplus.
The summer school as conducted by
President E. G. Branson, of the State
Normal School at Athens, and his able
assistants, is all that could be desired
as far as it goes. The objection lies
only in that excellent institution’s limi
tations.
While ultimately it may be found de
sirable to enlarge the plant of the State
Normal by additional dormitories and
class rooms, the immediate needs in the
premises can be amply provided by
throwing open the doors of the Georgia
state nniversity. Chancellor Hill, of
that institution, is co-operating earnest
ly with Professor Branson to make the
summer school a success, and how well
these eminent educators are sncceediDg
the present exigency attests. I
Obviously the best course to pursue }
is the one suggested. The general as
sembly of the state of Georgia should
hasten to enact the necessary lesigla-
tion to make available the nniversity
plant for the use of the snmmer school,
providing at the same time for an en
larged faculty and the other necessary
facilities for conducting, at Athens, the
best summer schools In the south—a
school comporting in every sense with
the dignity and progress of Georgia.
The appropriation involved in the pro
posed enactment would be inflnitessimal
compared to the great benefits to accrue
to the pnblic school system of the state
from snch a conrse. |
By all means give Georgia a big, live
snmmer school, to open throughout the
three-months’ vaoation. A normal such
as the teachers of this state are capable
of supporting, and would gladly support,
would be by no means a local affair, hot
would attract hundreds of pupils from
sister states. Let the agitation of this
vital matter gather impetus every day
until the meeting of the general assem
bly.

the state cannot afford to negleot it.
President Branson deserves credit for
the interest he has worked up in the
N ormal School, and the work merits
proper support by the legislature.
There ought to be provided ample dor
mitories for the accomodation of all
who come, and the necessary appropria

Educated teachers are necessary for
the success of our pnblic school system.

On the night of the opening day at
the State Normal Sohool, The Banner
presented the condition of affairs at this
institution by wire, to the editor of
every morning newpaper in the state,
and we are glad, to see these newspapers
responding so iiromptly and strongly to
the demands of the occasion.
There was ne ver snoh genuine interest
in an educational movement in Georgia
before, and The Banner predicts again
that the next general assembly will
measure np to the requirements with an
appropriation of at least $50,000.
