PHYSICAL
TRAINING.
Physical training
is provided for all
who attend the
Summer Term. The
College is equipped
with all necessary
apparatus, includ-
ing lockers and
show ers, without
charge. A deposit
of 25 cents for the
use of the locker
key is required.
The purpose of the
work is two-fold—
to put students                      t
into the best physi-
cal condition, and to prepare them for giv-
ing instruction in physical training in the public
schools. In all of the courses the latter phase
will be emphasized. The following courses are
offered:
1.  Courses for Men:
Course 1—This course consists of light arm,
leg and body movements, with deep breathing
and light recreative games. As this is practicable
under poorest conditions, it is especially adapted
to public schools. Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
4 p. m.
Course 2—Course two supplements course one,
and consists of elementary and advanced work on
gymnastic apparatus—the horse, the parallel
bar and the mats. It may be taken as a separate
or as a supplementary course. Monday, Wednes-
day, Friday, 5 p. m.
Course 3—Track and field athletics, baseball
and football. Though this course is open to all,
it is designed primarily to prepare the high school
teacher to coach athletics. Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday, 4 p. m.
For the above three courses each student
should provide himself with a gymnasium cos-
tume, consisting of a sleeveless shirt, running
trousers, rubber or soft-soled shoes, and a sus-
pensory. The shoes are necessary, the rest op-
tional; but the student must come provided to
make a complete change of clothing for the work.
2. Courses for Women:
Course 1—Public School Gymnastics. This
course being designed to furnish material for use
in the public schools will include Swedish gym-
nasium floor work, especially adapted to school-
rooms.
Course 2—Aesthetic Gymnastics. Fancy steps
and simple folk dances suitable for public school
children.
Course 3—Playground Exercises and Games.
This course includes lectures and discussions on
the equipment and management of playgrounds.
A varied list of games and plays suitable for both
indoor and outdoor use will be explained and
of study in this College leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science (B. S.) will find that the
Summer Session of the College affords them
many valuable opportunities.
Admission and Expenses.
There are no entrance requirements for the
Summer Normal. Any one of sufficient maturity
may enter the courses without examination.
Those who take work in the regular Summer
Session of the College will be governed by the
rules of the College relating to degrees.
Fees—Students attending the Summer Normal
will be charged no fees.
Students of the Reading Circle Course will de-
posit a fee of $3.00 with the County Superin-
tendent.
Students doing work in the Summer Session of
the College will pay the regular incidental fee,
$1.50, and if laboratory work is taken, the usual
laboratory fees.
In both the Summer Normal and the Summer
Session of the College tuition is free.
Other Expenses Board with room in private
families can be obtained in Stillwater at $4.00 per
week. Furnished rooms for housekeeping may
be secured for $2.oo to $3.50 per month, unfur-
nished rooms for $2.oo to $3.00 per month, where
two take a room together. Many students are
able to board themselves at a nominal cost. Clubs
may be formed, reducing expenses and increasing
the social advantages. There are a few oppor-
tunities for getting employment to help defray
expenses.
HOW LATE MAY TREES BE PRUNED
WITH SAFETY ?
Many growers of orchards are of the opinion
that after the buds have swollen in the spring and
the trees have started to grow that it is too late
to prune. This is not correct. There are good
theoretical reasons why it is better to prune
while the trees are wholly dormant, but in prac-
tice the injury from pruning after the trees have
started to grow is little if anything. Frequently
owing to an oversight the pruning of some tree
or shrub is neg-
lected until the
leaves have started
out. Do not let it
go on this account.
Go ahead and
prune just the same
as though it were
the regular prun-
ing time, and it is
doubtful if you will
ever notice the dif-
ference in the vigor
of the future
growth.
During the latter
part of the grow-
ing season a tree
will lay up a plant
food for the mak-
ing of leaves and
twigs during the
early part of the
next season. This
plant food is stored
in the lower part
