Remedial Study
Program to Be
Conducted Here
A remedial study program with
emphasis on reading enrichment
will be conducted in Southern
Pines, for students or adults, by
Miss Grace Hunter who has moved
here from Atlanta, Ga., and ex
pects to make,Southern Pines her
permanent home.
Now living at the Southland
Hotel, Miss Hunter expects to be
gin her classes soon. For the pres
ent, classes will be conducted at
the hotel.
The aim of Miss Hunter’s in
struction is to improve study
habits as well as to teach how to
study. She is equally concerned,
she says, about the child who has
study problems and the gifted
child who may need special at
tention. “Learning can be fun,”
is the slogan she has used success
fully through a long teaching ca
reer.
“My method,” she said, “is to
develop in the child a healthy at
titude toward school work in gen
eral. Emphasis is placed upon
helping each child to develop to
the best of his or her abilities.”
A native of South Carolina and
a Baptist, from a family long
prominent in religious, civic and
educational work. Miss Hunter
was introduced to the Sandhills
through her work with a similar
course at Blowing Rock, where
she met and , taught resi
dents of this area. She also
was familiar with this area
through a relative from South
Carolina who lived at Pinehurst.
Remedial training. Miss Hunter
says, is what the name implies—
a remedy for the child who lacks
confidence in himself, who is
slow to develop or who in some
other way has developed a prob
lem in school work.
A graduate of Coker College,
Hartville, S. C., Miss Hunter has
studied at Winthrop College in
South Carolina, the University of
Virginia, East Carolina College at
Greenville, George Washington
University, and Johns Hopkins.
She holds seven life professional
teachers’ certificates. Her teach
ing background includes public
school teaching and work as a
special teacher ■ of remedial edu
cation in Washington, D. C. She
has also been employed by the
Library of Congress and the De
partment of Justice in Washing
ton.
