After profitable, busy six weeks

University closed to-day, Friday ,Au

given their energies to the work OF
instructing since the regular COM
mencement, are now being paid the
small salary coming to them from
the funds received, for the summer
session was an experiment conduct.
ed without cost to the state. The
compensation received by each
teacher was from $42 for assistants
TO $50 for full professors. The Mu-
sic, Art, and Law schools were con.
Quoted independently of the other
departments, each one receiving fees
for students in that department.
By this arrangement the Art school
ran little above the average, and
the Law school little below it, art
studies being evidently the most
popular for the summer season.
The professors and assistants who
taught during this summer school
are Profs. ST. George L. Brooke, S. b.
Brown, j. S. Stewart, Judge Okey
johnson, Thos. E. Hodges, A. j.
Hare, F. w. Truscott, Chas. Chol
let, H. S. Green, f. L. fortnight,
j. N. Deahl, Mrs. Eva Hubbard,
Miss Houston, Miss Matte Brock,
Mrs. Deahl, and Mr.. Poe.
Mr.. Poe taught history instead of
Mr.. Fast, who was unable to meet
his classes, and Mrs. Deahl taught
vocal music IL place OF Miss Julia
Clark, who resigned her position at
the beginning OF the term.
There was much disappointment
among the students caused by the
unavoidable absence of Prof. Barbe,
who was scheduled to teach course
in literature. A few lady teachers
came to the summer school express
ly for his course of lectures. The
regents always send Mr.. Barbe out
to attend teachers Institutes, and
these for some reason, coming one
month earlier than usual, he had to
start on his visits to these right at
the beginning of the summer SEES
sion. The President and Mr. Barrie
were both very sorry, but they could
not change things. Miss Brock
taught very successfully class in
literature, but not the same course
Prof Barbe was to teach.
The other lecturers for this ses-
sion of the University were DR.. EN-
erson E. White of Ohio, DR.. A. E.
Winship editor of the American
journal of Education, Boston, and
Miss Susan F. Chase of the Buffalo
Normal Training School.
The lecturers were most fortu
nately selected. Dir. Whites and
DR.. Winsnip's lectures were com
plements, one OF the other. DIR.
Whites talks were intellectual, psy
Geological, appealing to the mental
powers and faculties. DR.. Winship
was inspiring, encouraging, filling
his hearers with hope and energy.
One series of talks fit most admira-
bly, into the other and no repetition.
Miss Chase gave instruction in meth
DDS of teaching. She taught object les
sons with two groups of children,
twelve IN each group. The primary
group were about 7 years old aud
the intermediate class II. She
show ed her method of teaching both
by practical work.
There was very general satisfac-
tion with the lectures among the
students, and the feeling was recip-
rocated by the teachers who were
greatly inspired by the superior in
tellectuality of the classes. There
was harmony all round, resulting in
much good.
One hundred and fourteen stu,
dents were enrolled during the SEES
sion of the summer school, most oil
them from West Virginia. Ofthese,
about ninety were students of the
summer school only. and are not
taking the regular course through
all the ear Very few of the stu
dents OF the other three terms re-
manned in school for the summer
About seventy five of those in at
tendance are students from various
parts of the state, including repre-.
sentatives from principal cities such
as Wheeling. Clarksburg, Parkers
burg, Fairmont. Huntington, Char
lesion, ETC., and from the faculties
of many of the Normal Schools.
DIR. Pdrinton states that the lee
lures by outside talent, and the
work done by the regular professors
has been extremely gratifying, al
has also that accomplished by The
students.
He says the great success of the
summer school is due first to tn,
generosity of Regent E. NJ. Gram
who became responsible tor the com
pensation of lecturers to come here
and help instruct the students whc
might attend. And next to the
generosity of the professors. who
agreed to teach for the small com
pensation arising from the tees
without making the session cost th,
