for ministers. The purpose of this school
is TO give ministers an opportunity TO
come into touch in the class room, both
by instruction and by lectures, with mod
ern religious thinking along many lines.
What are the new books? What are
the recent advances in Biblical scholar
ship? What are the modern methods
for filling the church, What is the pew
demanding of the pulpit? How can
the minister in small cities and in rural
communities best serve? Such questions
and many others will be discussed.

mick Theological Seminary, Chicago,
will conduct one or two classes every
day and will give some lectures. Miss

Economy of Alma College. A number
of other classes and lectures will be Of
fered.
Much of the work will have special
interest for teachers in small communi-

RECREATION AND PLAY
Alma College is very fair summer
resort. Students who were with us last
summer in the Summer Session stated
that they had never studied so well or
received so much benefit from class work
during any term in any institution any
where. The heat did not trouble them
The opportunities for rest and recrea-
ton were many.
FEES AND EXPENSES.
The tuition for the summer session is
$40. This is almost exactly proper
tionate to the fees paid by students dur
ing the regular sessions In laboratory
courses small fees will be charged to
cover the cost of materials. The fees
for music are given elsewhere.
Board and room may be had for SIS per
week or possibly little less Should
the attendance warrant, the dormitories
will be opened and opportunity for
boarding on a cooperative plan will
probably be developed This would
make the cost of living even less than
the amount mentioned
