The five weeks session of the sum-
ner school. which opened auspiciously
on June q. will close on Friday of
next week. Never has more faithful
work been done in the university by
instructors and students; never have
the results been more flattering. The
enrolment of ninety-five would be con-
siderably increased il the pupils of
Miss Babcock's school of physical Gull
ture. which has been in a sense an
adjunct of the summer school during
the session of the latter, were includ-
ed. The students are, almost without
exception, teachers of high standing
in the territory, and their object was
not to cram for the next eXamlna-
ton, but to spend the time in earnest
study of one or two special branches,
in which they are much interested.
The object has not been to make
money, but to bring the teachers in
the public schools into closer assocla-
ton with the leading educational IN
GtitEtions Of Utah.
Thorough, faithful work has been
done in the subjects of Botany, Physl-
ologS. Zoology, Bookkeeping, Arith-
Fnetic. Algebra, Geometry, Advanced
Mathematics, Applied Psychology.
Pedagogy, Drawing, Political Geogra-
ply. English Grammar, Rhetoric ana
English Literature, United States His
tory, Civil Government, French, Latin,
Greek History, Literature and Art, and
Physical Culture.
Of these Professor Whiting has
charge of Botany, Zoology, Physiology
and Civil Government, Professor Stew
art Applied Psychology, Pedagogy and
Normal Arithmetic. Professor Toronto,
A Ar.if A1oahTo and (TP-
oInetry. Professor Marshall, Rhetoric,
English Literature, English Grammar
and United States History, Professor
Cummings, Latin, Grecian History and
Normal Grammar. Miss Brotherhood,
French and Drawing, Miss Babcock,
Physical Culture, Mr.. Coray, Book
keeping.
Beside the class room work there has
been a series of evening lectures.
every one of which has been highly
profitable The initial lecture of the
series was by Professor Whiting on
the topic Attitude of Teachers to the
Thought of the Day" Professor Mar
shall gave a lecture on How and
What to Read" The question What
is Most Practical in Education" was
treated by DR.. Kingsbury, and the
theme Conduct. Right and Wrong by
Professor Stewart.
Tomorrow evening DR.. Millspaugh
ers. Miss Babcock will deliver an ad-
dress on the Relations of Physical
Culture to the Public Schools" on We'd
nesday next, and on Thursday Profess
Sor Marshall will give the last lecture
of the series on Thursday evening, "a
Historical Tour Through America" The
lecture will be on points of historic in
terest and will be illustrated by fine
stereopticon views.
A very interesting feature of the daily
programme has been the half hour
talks by instructors and outside talent
on popular topics. These are given dur
ing the last period of the daily five-hour
session and make a pleasant and profit
able relaxation from the more technical
lectures.
A recent visit to the university show
ed the professors and students all hard
at work, the methods employed the lat
est and best known in the educational
world, and the spirit pervading the
school one of complete cooperation and
harmony.
Professor Writings class in civil gov
eminent was discussing the powers and
duties Of the cabinet officers.
Miss Brotherhood was leading a class
through the intricacies of French verbs
and afterwards gave instruction in map
drawing to a larger class.
A very interesting discussion was 60
ing on in Professor Stewards class
room. 1t was the hour for psychology
and the subject Of discussion was the
feelings. Just what feelings are inner
ent, and what cultivated, was the
question on which there was division
of opinion.
Professor Toronto's class in geometry
was being deeply initiated into the
truths of circles, centers and circumfer-
ences.
The other classes were doing equally
good work.
Pref. Cummings was found in the
library, looking after some of his du-
ties as secretary of the executive COM
anittee. Many of the students were in
this, the pleasantest room in the Uni
versity, poring over volumes not of
forgotten but Of present lore.
The summer school at the Univer-
sity has been an unqualified success
owing to the united and able efforts OF
Prof. Stewart, Prof. Byron Cummings
Prof. William NJ. Stewart, Prof. Glenn
en- A. Whiting and County Superin-
1endent David 3. Allen, who constitute
the executive committee. 1t is to be
hoped that these gentlemen will ar
range for a session Of the school next
summer. and indeed that it become a
permanent institution.
