Atlantic Union Conference Summer School

By F. G.

THE secretary of this department recently visited the Atlantic Union Conference summer school now being conducted at the academy, in South Lancaster, Mass. This is the first summer school which has been held in this union conference for several years. The conferences in the union are assisting the church-school teachers in a financial way to attend the school. Nearly all the primary-school teachers in the union are in attendance; there are also a number present who have never taught, but who plan to teach this coming year.

The instructors in the school are Prof. C. S. Longacre, Mrs. E. M. Long, and Miss May Cole. The instruction is of a very practical nature, as the actual problems to be met in the schools this coming year are being carefully considered. The distinctive methods to be pursued in our schools are being well emphasized.

This union conference is making provisions for systematizing and developing the school work in a manner far in advance of what it has been in the past. To this end Miss May Cole has been chosen as educational secretary for the union conference. There are already more schools desiring to open this fall than there are teachers to supply them. There is no reason why there should not be an excellent system of church-schools throughout this union conference, and we believe this will be speedily accomplished. F. G.
