Institute. West, Va. April 21.--From
June 18th to July 22nd of this year,
the West Virginia Collegiate Insti-

is two-fold: first. to give to teachers
an opportunity, during six weeks of
their summer vacation, TO add to
their store OF professional knowledge
and training especially with regard
20 the latest developments in their
respective fields; second. to give to
teachers and other qualified per-
sons an opportunity to enroll in
courses OF standard collegiate grade
which may be credited, IL II is so de-
sired, toward bachelors regree.
The work Is done intenslvely, so
that in most subjects the Summer
School course of six weeks is rated
as equivalent TO work in that sub
ject for one semester of the regular
school year.
