nine years he has been principal of
schools at Casper, Wyoming, a town

two years, and he is the first man
that ever gave continued satisfaction.

constant student and won other aca-

University of Denver in 1904. He
also studied five terms at the

work in history, political economy

there are several smaller questions to

And about the most important OF

which means several years and
good many terms of study. there are
still more reasons why you ought
to be In school when the Fall term

The best OF all these reasons Is
that steady work Is worth a heap
more than work by spurts. A year
OF three terms. Is really actually
worth more than two years OF two
terms each. About half OF each term
is spent In getting started, every
time n fellow goes to school. And

NORMAL DEPARTMENT

The people of Kentucky are becom-

Public Schools and there is a grow
ing demand for REAL TEACHERS
Not makeshifts, who sit out a term
with a hand full of lifeless boys and
girls, but young men and women who
can attract pupils to the school by
their enthusiasm, hold them there by
the skillful way in which they handle

send them out into the world with a
high ideal of life and its duties.
Progress will be so rapid in the
next few years that only those who

of schools: business, home science,

thoroughly to fit young men and wo-

far more than a mere technical educa-
ton. Not a few of them will later
return for futher study and some for
a full college course.
In these various ways Berea Col
lege is keeping well in the forefront
In educational movements. When one
considers that all its large resources
are placed before individual students
for less than one hundred dollars a
year he readily understands why more

FARMERS COURSE

The Farmers Academy Course, as
offered In Berea College. has many
advantages that should be consider
ed. 1t offers to every young man
that has finished the graded school,
an opportunity to learn how to make
the farm an attractive place TO live,
and also how TO increase the income.
and at the same time make the farm
more valuable.
About one-third of the work re-
lates directly to farming. the other
two-thirds consist of the more practi-
cal studies of an Academy or High
school course. Two years are requir-
ed to complete the work.
The first year takes up Hortlcul-
ture, the study OF plants, care of the
garden and fruit; farm crops, a
study Of soils, seeding, tillage. drain
age and crop rotation: animal hus-
bandry, stock judging selection and
feeding
The second year takes up, fores-
try, care of forests and their influ-
ences upon soil. rainfall. flow of
streams and climate. Farm manage
ment, roads, buildings. drainage. selec
ton of stock, buying and selling farm
accounts, flowers, fruit etc.
Perhaps some will say that this
course is not long enough. We agree
that a longer course would be better.
and so we have arranged for gradu-
ates OF this course to enter Wiscon-
sin and Cornell Universities, and re-
ceive credit for work done here.
A last years graduate will enter
Wisconsin in the second year.
These other schools are much more
expensive. why not begin at Berea?
We hope to see twenty-five entering
the first year class on September 10.

TH e SCHOOL
PLAYTIME IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Educational Value of Play.
BY ]. w. DINSMORE

will not only afford fun and frolic
but will be of actual benefit in the
in the development and education of
the pupils. The need of an awaken
ing on this subject in country schools
is so urgent that the author was
glad of the opportunity to write an
additional chapter for the second ed
ition OF this book.
The cities turnout the country are
taking up the subject of better fac
ilities for play with yigor and are
spending many thousands of dollars
for Fairgrounds, apparatus and for
experienced directors. The needs and
rights of country children should have
no less attention. In many respects
the country has the advantage of the
city. In the latter enormous sums
must be expended for space sufficient
for Fairgrounds while in the country
an abundance OF space may be had
almost for the asking. Materials, too,
are plentiful and cheap and as these
two are the chief requisites the
country should take the lead rather
than lag behind.
A FORMER SUGGESTION REPEAT
ED.
Every country school should set
apart a day near the close of the
term for field exercises. This sug-
gestion has been made in previous
chapter but needs to be repeated
here. 1t will greatly add to the
interest in the sports and will keep
pupils in school that would otherwise
drop out. If every college in the land
can afford a field day for the older
boys and girls surely the country
school need not hesitate for fear 1t
will be a day lost Let every teacher
give it an honest trial and he will
be convinced of its value.

MODEL SCHOOLS

No department of Berea College Is
doing more for its students than the
Model Schools is doing. Last year
this department enrolled more than
six hundred students and we are ex-
pecting a larger attendance next year
is intended for students who are not
far enough advanced to enter the AGA
denny or Normal Department. Every
year there are large classes composed
of young men and young women who
have not had good school advantages
and are behind in their studies. They
are not placed In classes with chill
dren of the same advancement. but
are classed with those who like them
selves are behind. So no one need
hesitate to come to Berea and enter
the Model Schools because he Is
behind fir his age.
The Model School students have
the same general advantages, board
ing hall. lectures, library, societies,
etc as college students.
The common branches are taught
in the best manner by trained
teachers. Usually there is only one
grade in a room giving plenty Of
time for each recitation. Besides re-
gular work in the common branches,
every grade receives lessons in sing
ing, music, reading, drawing and
Bible The upper grades, all receive
lessons In farming. The boys above
fourth grade receive one lesson a
week in woodwork and the girls in
cooking or sewing. Students of this
department may learn carpentry and
IL far enough advanced printing, short
hand, bookkeeping and telegraphy.
Many young people prepare in the
eighth grade to get teachers certifi-
Gates and go out and teach.
All books used In the Model Schools
are furnished free to the students.
There is also a Night School for
Model School students in which those
who have not money to enter the re-
gular grades may study. working thru
out the day on the farm or In the
shops thus paying their expenses and
laying by credits for the next term
The best term Of the year is the
fall term. Students accomplish more
this term than any other. We urge
people expecting to enter the Model
schools to come the fall term and II
possible stay ali year. We will give
you a hearty welcome.

TO do a broad and thorough work in
the common branches. Second, as for

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS

The Vocational Schools give a stu
dent the opportunity to acquire skill
in some trade or occupation and to
thereby increase his earning capa-
city; and to allow him the same time
to continue his book education.
Students of this department have
the privilege of enjoying all the
general advantages that Berea Col
lege offers. These include the Library
Lecture Course, Literary Societies, Y.
NJ. c. A., Y w. c. A., Athletic Sports.
Gymnasium, bath and all other general
activities of the school.
There are two distinct lines of work.
First; courses which require the COM
pletion OF the common school branches
for entrance. These are the Business
School, The Home Science School an
the Agricultural School. Besides TAX
ing the technical work in each of the
above courses, every student has the
opportunity to select other studies
from the Academy and Normal
Courses, that meet his individual
needs.
The Business Department has great
ly enlarged and improved its equip
ment during the summer and is in
condition to carry work in accordance
with the most approved and up TO
date methods.
Mr.. Livengood, the head of this
department, has a large practical ex-
perience in banking, and office business
and knows exactly the kind Of train
ing a person needs in order to succeed
in the line of work he desires to take
up. Most men and women working in
stores and offices would do their work
much easier and in a great deal bet
te- way by taking our course in Book
keeping.
Again the average office worker will
nearly or quite double his wages If
he is either a skillful stenographer or
Typewriter, and is almost sure of do
ing so II he is both.
The second line of work offers an
opportunity TO students who have not
completed the common branches to
acquire skill in some line of work
which will increase their earning
power and at the same time enlarge
their general usefulness as citizens.
Students who can read and write fair
ly we'll and understand common frac-
lions, and who are mature enough to
have a reasonable amount of common
sense, and to do the work of a man or
woman, may enter anyone of the fol-
lowing ourses:-Nursing Carpentry,
Bookbinding, Bricklaying, Farming
and Gardening, Practical Housework,
Printing, Telegraphy, and Woodwork
Machinery.
The telegraph school Is in the
hands of skillful and practical oper-
ator who has had actual experience
in railroad offices and knows just no
