III" SUMMER
SCHOOL PLAN
University Of North Dakota
Summer Session Will Open
June Is.

What promises to be the banner year
for the University of North Dakota
summer school will open on next Mon
day morning, the 25th of June. The
session will close on August 3rd and
with the additional facilities for hand
ling the courses the six weeks train
ing ought to be prolific in good results
to a large number of students. From
present indications and from the num-
Der of communications received by
those having the work in charge, all
previous records in attendance will be
eclipsed.
For the coming school term there
are many improvements planned Ad-
ditiOnal facilities for the study of
physics for those who desire to pre-
pare themselves more fully for teach
ing, are provided. These students
will, in addition to the regular work,
be instructed in the various problems
OF laboratory equipment; will have OPP
portunity to perform illustrative ex-
periments with large equipment at
their disposal; and will receive such
instruction and practice in laboratory
arts as time will permit. A library
course is planned to meet the needs of
teachers who wish to study the use
and care of school libraries and to
become familiar with the main prin-
ciples of library science. This work
will consist, on the theoretical side, of
lectures and discussions; and through
out the course considerable amount
of practice work in the university
library will be given.
The summer school will be under
the direction of Joseph Kennedy, M. a.,
dean Of the Teachers college, who for
years has been intimately associated
with the uplifting of the teaching pro-
fession throughout the northwest. The
school is divided into two distinct
courses-the Certificate course and
the Institutional course, and in each
of these students from all parts of the
state will enroll.
Master Degrees.
For the first time this year several
alumni will take advantage of the
summer school to secure their master
degrees and this at once suggests the
idea that as things are now arranged
1t would be easy for a good student
to secure his bachelor of arts degree
in three years at the summer school,
with little additional work in his
junior and senior years. These OPP
portunities will be considerably en-
larged within few years when more
money and larger teaching staff are
provided.
The Social Life.
Socially the summer session will
have in store many treats for the stu
dents, and faculty and students will
meet many times outside of the class
room A course of lectures and
series of round table discussions will
enable the students to leave all
thoughts of study aside. Picnics, rides
and steamboat excursions as in the
past will also be given.
