NOR normal to be held at the University
Of Virginia during the coming summer.
Mr.. Glass has secured the services OF
DR.. E. 3. Titchenor. of Cornell unlver-
sitv. as director of psychology at the nor
NAL DR.. Titchenor will be accompanies
bv his assistant, Professor Laird or the
same institution, and will be one OF the
most eminent acquisitions to the faculty
Of the summer school. He Will bring
with him complete psychological labo-
"a tory outfit for experimental purposes.
DR. Titchenor is the author OF several
college text books on psychology, among
them the "Outline Of Psychology ana
the primer of Psychology, ana ne IS
recognized as the most prominent teaci-
er of experimental psychology i'll the
United States. Mr.. Glass is very much
pleased at the success OF his efforts IN
securing DR.. Titchenor, as other normal
schools in the country have been alter
him. but he decided to come to the Flr-
s;nia normal in preference to others.
DR.. w. s. Currell. of Washington and
Lee. has been engaged for four weeks
nal! He will have charge of the crtl-
cal study of literature, and will conduct
classes in daily themes Dr. Charles w.
Kent, of the University Of Virginia. will
have the same work that ne so success
fully conducted last summer.
To accommodate the large number OF
teachers who will attend the normal.
Mr.. Glass has secured the use OF the
University dornitories. where 800 teach
crs will room during the period that the
school is in session. The dor1nitories will
be allotted on the basis OF first come first
served. and their nearness to the class
rooms will make them very desirable
apartments.
Mr.. Glass said that he thought the
railroads would grant TO the Virginia
normal the same rates that were given
to the Knoxville normal last summer
that Is a rate Of one fare for the round
trip. Last year the rate was one and a
third fare to teachers in Virginia, and no
special rates were given to teachers from
other States. The Virginia normal was
discrimina ted against with the result
that many teachers from Southern
States who wanted to come to the Vir-
GINA normal selected the Knoxville
school on account of the special rates
given to that institution Mr.. Glass be-
ieves that the conditions will be chang
ed this wear and in anticipation OF that
belief he will advertise the advantages OF
the school at Charlottesville throughout
the States OF North Carolina. Maryland.
West Virginia, and PENNSYLVANIA.
The attendance at the Virginia normal
last summer was over 100. and the out
look for this summer indicates that there
will be an increase over that number.
Mr. Glass would not say anything
about his expected candidacy for Super
ntendent of Public instruction in this
State He has been prominently men
toned as the member of the new Board
of Education to represent the city
