SUMMER TERM
WELL ATTENDED
Many Former Students and State
Teachers Here for Spec-
ial Work.
The enrollment at the summer
school has now reached 275. This
is about fifty behind what it was
last year at this time. It is be-
lieved the floods have kept a good
many at home. It is also possible
that the increased length of term,
while it will make for better work,
will not augment tlite attendance.
Many teachers who would have
come here prefer to take the four
weeks course at some county insti-
tute and not put in the entire sum-
mer in study.
Mrs. Barr has arrived and taken
Mrs. Tindall's place in the mathe-
matics department. Mrs. Tindall
at the last moment was unable to
accept her appointment.
Music is now free and this has
made a great increase in the music
pupils. Prof Lehrer, Miss Brown
and Miss White all have every mo-
ment occupied already.
A great many of the teachers
and also a goodly number of the
regular normal pupils have ap-
plied for credit work. This makes
for a school. Pupils then do not
load up too heavily with subjects
and are able to do better work.
President Butcher made an excel-
lent talk Tuesday morning at
chapel, strongly recommending
that all students apply for credits.
The work as now presented is as
follows:
Prof. Blake, Botany and Zoolo-
gy ; Prof. Abbolt, Civics and Amer-
ican History; Prof. Barrett, Peda-
gogy, Psychology and History of
Education; Prof. Imel, Latin;
Prof. .Tamieson, Physics and Phys-
iology; Prof. Kent, Mathematics;
Mrs. Barr, Assistant in Mathemat-
ics ; Prof. Temming. Geography
and Bookkeeping; Mrs. Aberna-
thy, Grammar and Composition;
Miss McClintic, Reading; Miss
Stainback, Vocal Music; Prof.
Bentley, Physical Training; Miss
