SUMMER SCHOOL FOR
TEACHING SISTERS
The Catholic University of Washington
Offers a Course of Summer School
Studies to the Teaching Sister
- hoods and to Lay Women
Teachers.

The Catholic University of Washing
ton has completed arrangements for
the Summer School which will be con-
Quoted unden it's auspices during the
months of July and August for the
benefit OF the members Of the different
teaching Sisterhoods as well as for
lay women teachers who may desire
to take advantage of the opportunity
it affords for special studies.
Some time ago the Trustees of the
University authorized the establish
ment of Normal Institute for Teach
ing Sisters in the immediate vicinity
of the University and under it's direc-
ton. This Summer School is, in reali-
ty, the first step towards the realiza-
ton of this project, Work done at
the Summer School will count for
the degrees which will be granted
later on by the Normal Institute. This
recognition will be given on the basis
of one full course at the Summer
School equaling two hours week for
half a year at the Institute.
1t is the intention of those in charge
of the Summer School to place the
Halls on the University Campus in
the hands of competent women who
will conduct them as homes for those
in attendance at the sessions of the
school A graduate of Trinity College
will act as Dean and will be intrusted
with all arrangements for the comfort
and entertainment of the Sisters and
lay women teachers who follow the
classes. Special rates are offered to
all; and these may be learned by ap-
.plication to the University authorities.
The sessions of the Summer School
will continue from July 1 to August
z. The course of instruction COM
.prises lectures on Philosophy, Educa-
tion, Language, History, Biology,
Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Mathe-
mathics, Art, Music and Library
Science. The classes will be conduc-
ted by the Professors of the Univer-
sity and special lecturers from diff
ferent institutions.
This announcement marks an epoch
in the history of Catholic education in
America. The teaching sisters of the
country, fully abreast Of the times,
have attended, whenever possible, the
summer schools conducted by secular
universities. Now the Catholic Uni
versity of America, easily the peer of
any other American university in it's
teaching capacity, opens it's doors to
the Catholic teachers with fully or
ganized pedagogical school which will
insure the most congenial surround
ings, the truest proportions of curri-
culum and the inspiring atmosphere of
Catholic scholarship, to those teach
ers whose life is one long act of devo-
ton to the Faith. The good results
to be expected from this departure
are incalculable. Every Catholic
should do all in his power to make
this first session of the Summer School
popular, so that the developments to
follow, the foundation of the Normal
Institute and the permanent service of
the University to women teachers of
America, can be made sure for all
time.
During these months the Apostolic
Mission House will conduct a Summer
School for Catechists as an auxiliary
but not official adjunct of the Univer-
sity Summer School
