  • SUMMER SCHOOL NUMBER A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, MAY, 1924. DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL IS NOW A GREAT FEATURE One of the most important and attractive features of the Summer School will be the Demonstration School. Six groups of children, limited in number, will be available for the demonstration teaching recommended in the State's plans for the Summer Schools. The instructors in each subject will find in the Demonstration School an unusual opportunity to make their classroom work vivid and practical. The children who attend the School will receive due regard for their own progress and will be carefully protected against exploitation for mere demonstration purposes. Parents, attending the Summer School, will have an opportunity to enroll their children in the Demonstration School provided they made application in time. The School will be in charge of Miss Clutie Bloodworth, who is a member of the Normal School faculty. Miss Bloodworth is a graduate of the Southern Female College, and has done graduate work in Columbia and Chicago universities. She has served several years as demonstration and critic teacher in the Normal Schools and University of Alabama. She has also been Supervisor of Schools in Coffee County, Alabama. At present she is Demonstration Teacher of Primary Grades at the Cullowhee Normal. She will be assisted by Misses Elizabeth and Ger- aldine Grigsby, of Franklin, Tenn., who are both specially trained and (Cont'd on page 3) DEDICATION OF MOORE BUILDING PLANNED MAY 29 PRESIDENT HUNTER IS DIRECTOR OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL President Hunter announces that the dedication service of the Moore Building will be held on May 29th, at 3:00 P.M. Also plans have been effected to have the Western North Carolina Weekly Press Association and the Intermont Educational Council in meeting at Cullowhee on the same date. Indications are that Cullowhee will have the honor of entertaining the largest number of educational leaders at any one time in its history. Splendid programs with addresses from noted speakers to be announced later have been arranged, and the Normal School will be the home of the guests present for these meetings. President Hunter, the efficient head of the Normal School, will give his personal services as Director of the Summer School." President Hunter without a doubt is the right man for the right place. He is an administrator, an educator, a leader, and a man of the highest type of Christian ideals. He is giving himself unreservedly to his task, and the Normal School is making surprising advancement under his direction. A review of his training and experience will show that he is thoroughly qualified from every standpoint for the position he holds. After graduating from Mars Hill College, in 1908, he entered Wake Forest, from which institution he received the A.B. degree, in 1912. He later did graduate work at Teachers' College, Columbia University, and was awarded the M.A. degree in 1917. He spent the year 1921-22 in advanced study in the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University, and received the degree of Ed.M. from there in 1922. He taught for four years in the public schools of his native county, Madison; served for three years as Principal of High Schools in Buncombe County, North Carolina; and later served as President of South- side Institute, at Chase City, Va. His next position was a professorship in English in Woman's College, Richmond, Va. He then took the professional study of education at Columbia, and after a year's work in this field was made Associate Professor and head of the Department of Education in Southern Methodist University at Dallas, Tex.- From there he went to Baylor College, Belton, (Cont'd on page 3) COMMENCEMENT WEEK PLANS ARE BEING MADE May 18th To 20th — Speakers Have Been Secured. Preparations for the closing exercises of the Normal School are well under way. Rev. J. Ben Eller, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, States- ville, will deliver the commencement sermon Sunday, May 18th, at 11:00 A.M. The Class Day program of the High School Seniors will be given Monday, the 19th, at 5:00 P.M. and that of the Normal Seniors at 8:00 P.M. The baccalaureate address will be delivered by Dr. R. D. W. Connor, Kenan Professor of History, University of North Carolina, Tuesday, the 20th, at 11:00 A.M., at which time diplomas will be awarded to the graduates in the High School and Normal departments. The Alumni Banquet will be given at 2:00 P.M. in the new dining hall of Moore Dormitory. The final program, the student-faculty play, entitled, "Come Out Of The Kitchen," will be given at 8:00 P.M. in the School Audi- Favorable Showing By Cu 11 o w h e e Debaters At Chapel Hill Debate Negative Team Enters Second Preliminary. After winning in the triangular debate over Webster and Sylva High Schools, on March 28th, the four debaters from the High School Department of the Cullowhee Normal entered the final preliminaries at Chapel Hill, April 9th and 10th. The affirmative team, represented by Ernest Phillips and Robert Sherrill, was eliminated in the first preliminary, while the negative team, represented by Ernest Hall and Carr Hooper, remained in the contest through the second preliminary. The Cullowhee boys equipped themselves with that usual confidence and composure that comes only with continued practice and training. Their original manner of debating and ability to think on the floor were so unique and pleasing that it brought favorable comment from the judges, as well as from other members of the audience. That these debaters made favorable showing for the western part of the State was evidenced by the fact that Cullowhee was the only school west of Shelby represented in the second preliminary. The trip to Chapel Hill, which was made through the country, was thoroughly enjoyed by the Cullowhee delegation, consisting of the four de- (Cont'd on page 2) CULLOWHEE HAS STRONG SUMMER SCHOOL FACULTY Instructors Have Been Carefully Selected On Basis Of Special Fitness For Work Assigned. President H. T. Hunter, Director of the Summer School, has been fortunate in securing an unusually strong corps of teachers, and preparations are being made for the largest and best summer session in the history of the School. President Hunter himself is a man of broad vision, and his training as an executive and educator, together with his experience as instructor and director of some of our largest summer schools, peculiarly fits him for his task. Prof. W. E. Bird, Head of the Eng- .lish Department and Dean of the School, will assist President Hunter as Associate Director. Prof. Bird is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and holds a Master's Degree from George Peabody College for Teachers. He has been an instructor in the Normal for the past four years, and has served as Director of the Summer School for the past three years. Other members of the Normal School Faculty who will remain as instructors in the Summer School are as follows: C. H. Allen, B.S., M.A., Education; Miss Alice Benton, B.Pd., B.S., Physical Education; Miss Clutie Bloodworth, A.B., Primary Education; Frank H. Brown, B.Agr., Biology; Miss Dorothy Clement, B.M., Piano; Miss Irma Ellis, Penmanship; Miss Eleanor Gladstone, B.Lit., Librarian; Miss Laura Kate Miller. B.A., M.A., Geography; Miss Annie Ray, B.S., M.A., Primary Education; E. H. Stillwell, B.S., History. Besides the regular members of the Faculty who are being retained, several additional instructors are being employed to take care of the increased number of courses offered. Dr. T. E. Cochran, now Dean of Judson College, Marion, Ala., will return for his fifth summer as Instructor in the Department of Education. Dr. Cochran is a graduate of Bardston College. He also holds his Master's and Doctor's Degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Former students will recall his popularity, both in and out of the class- Miss Margaret McAdory, Director of Art Education in Jefferson County, Alabama, has been secured as Instructor of Fine and Industrial Arts.
