SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY.

SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY will conduct a summer school especially for teachers, beginning July 5, and ending August 30.
During the last two or three years, the Spirit of the Lord has been giving especial instruction concerning the education of our children. Particularly has the instruction to take our children from the public schools and place them in Christian schools, been emphasized. In view of these words of counsel, the managers of the academy have decided to conduct a summer school, for the benefit especially of those who are preparing to teach in church schools. When we look at the large territory included in District 1 of the General Conference, it must be evident that a large number of church schools should be opened by our people. In order to establish these church schools, teachers must be fitted for the work. Already there is a demand for more teachers than we are able to supply; and so, in order not to delay this work until those who should be engaged in teaching have taken time for that thorough preparation which would be valuable for them to have, it has been decided to conduct this summer school, and to offer such instruction to those who expect to teach in the church schools as will give them that help which will enable them to begin work. Students entering this school should have knowledge sufficient to pass examinations for teachers’ certificates in their respective States.
Classes will be conducted in Bible, physiology, teaching, nature study, history and philosophy of education, bookkeeping, music, shorthand and typewriting, agriculture, horticulture, etc.
The average cost, all expenses included, is about fifteen dollars a month, making thirty dollars for the term.
Those who think of attending this summer school are most earnestly requested to let it be known at once.
