 GIVES CHANCE FOR STUDY IF
 VALUABLE ADVANCED COURSES

Reasons for holding the Universi- ty of Arizona third annual summer session in education at Bisbee, for six weeks from July to August IA, are set forth in a university pamphlet on the subject as follows:
 In the first place, Bisbee's sum- mer climate is ideal. Situated amid mountains, at an elevation of $500 feet, it's summer temperatures are practically those of Prescott or Den- yer. Hot days are practically un- known and occasional showers rem der climatic conditions highly favor able for intensive study. Secondly. Blsbee has a fine, up-to-date school system with the best of modern ed ucational ideas in operation, includ- ing a fine system of junior high schools, Mexican schools, etc. These are in at least partial operation dur ing the summer, and afford unusual opportunities for teachers and school administrators to do practice teach ing and observation, as well as to work out educational problems in a good school system, well equipped and administered
 The courses offered during the 1920 session are designed to appeal to a variety Of demands. High school teachers and college students, ele mentary and rural school teachers. and school administrators will find variety of courses adapted % their needs. General courses for those not
