has long since come to be the great
est summer school in the entire
South-under the name of the Sum
Nor School of the South-wiil be
held on the campus of the University
Of Tennessee from June "a to Au-
gust 1, 1913.
SO many new plans have been per-
fected this year, looking toward the
most successful and largely attended
session in the history of the school,
that 1t is impossible to present them
here in detail. 1t may be mention
ed, however that special arrange
ments have been made by the Uni:
ted States government to furnish,
for the benefit of the Summer School
OF the South, an equipped lecturer

will conduct regular courses in

round table conferences during the

fessor of zoology in the University
Of Tennessee, will conduct, for the

course in human physiology, with
lectures, readings and laboratory
demonstrations. The value of these
several courses, in individual physi-
cal benefit and in brining about i'm
proved hygienic conditions in the
schools of the South, can hardly be
overestimated. 1t will be remember
ed that the bureau of education re-
Gently appointed one man whose

plans for school improvement.
