NORMAL REGISTER
 295 ON FIRST DAY IS NEW HIGH REDORD
Dormitory Accommodations at Central College Secured to Assist in Talk
 ing Care of Young Women.

With 295 students matriculating on the first day, a new high mark was set when the annual summer session of the Arkansas State Normal School was begun today. The number ex- ceeds by 35 the next highest days en- rollment, 260 being registered on the opening day of the summer session last year. For that session total of 360 were enrolled. This year the sum- mer enrolment will odubtless exceed 400 and may reach 800.
 In order to accommodate young women students Pres. B. W. Torrey- son has completed arrangement with Pres. Doak s. Campbell for the use of dormitory accommodations in Gen. tral College for Normal girls during the summer. This will enable the school to receive about 100 more young women students than would otherwise be possible. As the number of men attending the summer session is usually small, Mr. Torreyson said there would be no difficulty in se- curing private boarding places for them.
 The session which opened today will continue for seven weeks, six days in the week, equal to eight school weeks. Regular classroom work will begin to- morrow.
 Five new members of the faculty are on duty for the summer term, either as additional instructors or to replace regular members away for graduate study at the universities. J. R. Burlington, superintendent of the Searcy school, will be acting profes- sor of mathematics to relieve Dan Ests, who will devote his entire time to classes for high school athletic d'- rectors. J. P. Bingham, principal of the Pottsville school, will teach re- view courses of common school branch es, and C. K Wilkerson, principal at Hamburg, will teach education. Miss Hazel Murry of Little Rock high school will be an associate in the English department, and Prof. M. J.. McHenry of Hendrix will have charge of science classes to replace Prof. E.. E. Cordrey, who is attending the Uni versity of Chicago.
 Classes at the summer term will be formed to suit the needs of the stu dents, it was said today. Practical ly all courses offered at the regular session will be carried over and new ones formed for students preparing to take the examination for license. Mir. Estes work with the athletic direc- tors was started last year and was a decidedly successful innovation. He will train by theory and actual prac- tice directors for baseball, football and basketball, the last named sport also including girls basketball.
 Gilbert Y. Short, associate in the history department, is on leave of ab- sence for the summer. He will grad uate tomorrow at the University of Arkansas and will go from Fayette- vile to Chicago for graduate work at the university. MT. Short lacked only few credits of receiving his de- gree at Arkansas, and he has made them up through correspondence courses.
 Miss Ida M. Waldran, dean of wom- en, said today that rooms and board for all applicants have been found and that it will not be necessary for any of them to go elsewhere. Miss Wald- ran largely by her own efforts last week made systematic canvass of the southwest quarter of the city for homes where students might be ac- cepted. Her appeal met with ready response, and as result the school will be enable to enroll the maximum number of students.
