summer school of psychology, biology,
pedagogy and anthropology at Clark
University during the coming summer
has just been made public, and while
confined to a few particular subjects
presents a selected array of topics dis
cussed by experts in the several
branches treated.
The seventh session of the summer
school will so enlarge the work of psy-
chology and related topics as to cover
the entire time of the school, so that it
will be a school of psychology, physiol-
ogy, anthropology and pedagogy. Nine
instructors will give daily lectures or
demonstrations which, with the extra
evening exercises viii make over one
hundred hours of carefully co-ordinated
work. Most summer schools offer less
hours of instruction in four, and some
in even six weeks The work is planned
to give as much material as possible in
the briefest and most effective way.
AS a whole the work is especially ad-
dressed to (a) university students de-
sirous of learning features of the new
psychology, some of which are not now
accessible elsewhere; (b) university
students of pedagogy, or of other de-
partments, who may desire a general
survey of modern psychology and edu-
cation; (c) professors of pedagogy.
normal school principals and instruc-
tors; Cd school superintendent and
principals; (e) writer's of school text
books, and publishers; E(f) teachers of
public and private schools, OF both
sexes, and Undergraduates; (g) parents
and others especially interested in edu-
cation or in children.
The school will begin on Thursday,
July 13, at 10 o'clock, and end on We'd
nesday, July g. at o'clock. The fee
as formerly will be twelve dollars a
week, or twenty dollars for the course
of two weeks, which will cover every
thing in any or all departments Those
who attend at least four daily lectures
through the term will be given a print
ed certificate of attendance bearing the
seal of the university and the signature
of the president.
Courses will e.given by the follow
