C. Spring and Summer Courses for Teachers 912 / >,Q O ■; il, g .2 « COURSES OFFEEED DUEING THE SEEING AND S^IBIMEE. It .is the aim of the East Carolina Teachers Training School to render every service it may to advance the best interest of public education in our state. Realizing that many teachers engaged in the work wish to study after their schools close, that they may better equip themselves for their profession.; also realizing that all the schools of the counties do not close at the same time, the Training School, to meet these conditions, has established the Spring and Summer Courses for Teachers as a permanent part of the school work. The calendar year is divided into four terms, any three of which make a school year. The so called "Summer School" is one of the four terms. .During this summer term the "First Term" of any of the Eegular Courses will be offered if a sufficient number apply to warrant the forming of a class. In addition to these Eegular Courses, Special Courses are offered to meet the needs of these who have been engaged in teaching. We, therefore, offer the following: Eegular Courses—. Academic Course, Professional Course, One Year Course — A, One Year Course — B, Special Courses: (See Summer Term, pages 8-11), East Carolina Teachers Training School Outline of Regular Courses.

East Carolina Teachers Training School 7 ONE YEAR COURSE — B. There are many young women in our state who wish to take some training if they can find the kind of train- ing they need. To meet this demand this school will of- fer an additional One Year Course, to be known as "One Year Course — B". This course has not been outlined in our catalogue for 1910-1911, but will appear in the catalogue for 1911-1912. This course will begin March 26, 1912, if those applying for admission to our Spring Term desire to take it. Fol- lowing is an outline of this course: Requiretnents for Admission.. The applicant must be seventeen years of age, and must signify his intention to teach the following school year. Courses of Instruction. The course of instruction will cover the first seven grades of the state adopted Course of Study. The textbooks used will be those adopted by the State Textbook Commission, and the State Reading Circle. In addition to the above the following subjects will be included : Pedagogy, especiall}^ adapted to the needs of this group. Primary Methods. The state adopted texts for grades One to Four with instruction in theory only in so far as is necessary for reasonably efficient teaching. School Management and Law. Music and Drawing, beginning with grade One and ex- tending through grade Seven. Spring Term, March 26th to June 6th — Ten Weeks. During this term the "Third Term" of any of our Kegular Courses may be taken if the applicant finds what l)e needs in said course. In addition to this we offer one term of the One Year Course — B. During this term onl}^ a limited number of students can be accomodated. The best results will be obtained if all 8 East Carolina Teachers Training School who do not wish to take work in one of the "Third Term" courses of our regular school are organized into one group and take the same subjects. Summer Term, June 11th to August 3rd — Eight Weeks. During this term, in addition to the regular courses out- lined on pages 4 and 5 of this announcement, the fol- lowing subjects will be offered: English (4 hours) ; Grammar, Rhetoric, Composition and Literature. Mathematics, (5 hours) ; Arithmetic, Algebra and Ge- ometry. Pedagogy, (4 hours). Histor}', (5 hours) ; History of the United States, His- tory of North Carolina and Civil Government. Science, (4 hours) ; Geography, Hygiene and Sanita- tion. Agriculture, (4 hours). Primary Methods, (4 hours) ; Eeading, Phonics, Spell- ing, Language Work, Nature, Writing, Stories, Number Work and Seat Work. Latin, (5 hours) ; Grammar, Caesar and Methods of Teaching Latin. School Management, (2 hours) ; Lectures on School Organization and Management. Drawing, (2 hours). Music, (2 hours) ; Public School Music, Study of Mus- ical elements. Chorus Work, Methods. (Required) . Household Economics, (2 hours). Vocal Music, (2 half hours). A careful study of the above wnll show that it is the jmrpose of these courses better to equip teachers for their daily w^ork, to enable them thoroughly to master the con- tents of the texts studied, and to acquire the skill nec- essary to impart this knowledge to their classes. The textbooks studied in the Special Courses wnll be those taught in the public schools. East Carolina Teachers Training School 9 Provision will be made for those who attended either the Spring or Summer Course last year to continue their work. Students may take any subject offered, but they will not be allowed to carry more than twenty hours work that requires preparation out-side of the class-room. They may take in addition to this, School Management, Public School Music, Vocal Music, Drawing and House- hold Economics. SUGGESTED GROUPS FOR SUMMER TERM.

July 9th to August 3rd — Four Weeks. If our State is to have an efficient system of public schools it is necessary that we have able supervisors. Many of our school principals and superintendents spend a part of their summer months in study at some institu- tion that offers a course of instruction in Administration and Supervision. This is, usually, at considerable cost to them. We believe many others Avould give a part of their vacation to the study of their problem if they could do so nearer home, and at a smaller cost. The Training School has, therefore, added a four weeks' course in Ad- ministration and Supervision, intended to meet the needs of high school principals, county superintendents and city superintendents. We take pleasure in announcing that Mr. Harold Barnes, Superintendent of Elementary education, Girard College, Philadelphia, will have charge of this course this year. All who Avish to take this work will be organized into one group. They will have daily conferences of at least two hours. A class of children will be taught for observation pur- poses, that the members of this group may visit and study class-room conditions as a basis for their discus- sions. The work of this course will be conducted along the same general lines as it was last year. East Carolina Teachers Training School 11 Mr. H. E. Austin will meet this group for a series of conferencts on the Course of Study for Science in the High Schools. EXPENSES. Tuition is free. Eegistration fee for each term, $2.50. For those living in the school dormitories, board, laun- dry, dormitory fee and lights per month, $12.50. Payments for the term are due in advance. Each student who lives in one of the dormitories is expected to bring for her own use the following articles: two pairs of sheets, one pair of blankets, two counter- panes, (only single beds are used), two pillow cases, six towels, six table napkins, a complete set of textbooks. Students who wish to spend eight weeks will be given rooms in the dormitories in preference to shorter term students. Eooms will not be reserved in the dormitories longer than June 13th and this only upon request. For further information address, EOBT. H. WEIGHT, President. FOR REFERENCE Oo Not Take From This Room
