The NJ. A. c. faculty and state board
of agriculture has passed favorably
upon the plan for a summer school
at the college and the courses, which
consist of an undergraduate and grad
uate course, have been schemed out
and also adopted by the faculty COM
mittee Professor e. II. Ryder will
have charge of the summer session
and all communications of those in
terested should be directed to him.
This is the first time in the history
of the institution that so complete
a summer school has been authorized.
The summer session will begin
Wednesday June "a and close Friday,
July 81. Registrations must be made
prior to June %. The summer ses-
sion is open to all students regularly
enrolled and to all persons of both
sex who are not required to take any
formal entrance examination. The
summer school is especially fitted for
teachers in need of the work, the
session offers, and to students or 9th
ers wishing to take special work or
acquire credits for degrees.
These credits may apply toward de-
grees providing the student meets
the entrance requirements.
The matriculation fee has been set
at IS with an incidental fee of $3.50
and an additional laboratory fee for
those taking laboratory work. M. A.
C. is peculiarly fitted for technical
training along every line and especial
attention will be given in home econ
omics with its kin sub-branches OF
domestic art and domestic science.
For the city wife, who has always
worked in Offices or who has had
no opportunity to learn those things
in house management which mean
domestic prosperity, the summer ses-
sions offer everything that a young
wife needs from dressmaking and
baking to house sanitation, market
ing, composition of menus, etc.
The undergraduate course will in
clude bacteriology, botany, chemistry,
dairying, entomology, farm crops,
history and economics, home econ
omics, domestic science, horticulture,
mathematics, mechanical engineering,
pedagogics, physiology, physics,
poultry husbandry, soils and zoology.
The graduate courses for those stud
ents possessing the requisite require
ments to pursue advanced work for
degrees will embrace such studies as
bacteriology, chemistry, entomology
and veterinary science.
The summer sessions will be no ex-
pertinent with the M. A. c., but are
established as a permanent phase of
its educational work during the sum-
mer vacation months. The present
staff of the institution will give the
instruction necessary for the courses,
but the new scheme will deprive the
members of their annual vacations.

taxable property valued at $3,00J

the soldiers exemption act, according
to Fellows. In another opinion he
holds that a highway commissioner
does not have to be a taxpayer in
order to hold Office.
