TEACHERCOLLEGE
SUMMERSCHOOL

With undiminished optimism the
faculty Of the Mankato Teachers
college are making plans for. the
summer term Of college. With only
the loss of one day Of school follow
ing the burning of the building, the
students went on with their work
with the auditoriums OF the church
es as their class rooms.
1t is with great deal of pleas
ure that. the faculty announce that
the summer session of the college
with be in the Mankato high school
which accommodates one thousand
students. g.. -
The summer session is designed
to meet several needs Of the teach
ers and of the schools of Minneso-
ia which are:
One. To enable those who need
certificates for rural schools to get
the academic subjects and the pro-
fessional credit required for state
first class certificates.
Two. To offer work for the re-
newal Of certificates.
Three. To enable regular stu
dents to begin the two year course
or to advance themselves in their
courses.
-Four. To offer subjects to ambit-
ious. teachers that will help them to
do better work in the schoolroom.
Five. To offer advanced work in
the four-year course to graduates.
Several quite distinct advantages
come to rural teachers from the
present arrangement Of the pro-
gram for the summer session. The
rural department offers especially
organized courses to meet the part
icular needs of teachers of oneZ
room schools. Among these courses
are: Rural school methods, offered
in three sections to accommodate
teachers of varying degree of ex-
perience; rural school management,
offered in two half credit units ;
rural school cooking, offered as a
half credit course; and rural school
sewing, offered as half credit
course.
Courses to be offered will include
public school art and advanced art
elementary and educational psyche
logy, educational measurements,
and materials, teaching problems,
mentary handwork, English, games
and playground work, geography,
handwriting, history, mathematics,
music, rural education, science,
sociology, textiles and sewing. The
high school subjects Of algebra !
end 2, geometry l and 2, and ply
sizes will not be y offered unless
classes Of six or more are register
ed for these subjects before June
first.
Beginning with the fall quarter
of 1922, Mr.. Hugh Jameson, physi
cal director at the Y. NJ. C.. A. the
past year, will take charge Of mems
athletics at the college. Inasmuch
as he is especially interested in
football, it is hoped that this an
nouncement will appeal to many
young men who are interested to
get excellent physical training
while preparing for the profession
of teaching, SO that there may be
successful teams in all lines OF
tion to being director Of athletics
and physical education for men, be
instructor of general science in the
junior high school.
Special attraction for the summer
term will be the presence Of DR.
Edward A. Steiner of Grinnell col
lege, Ia, who will be in the city
for two days and will deliver lee
lures to the students. Or. Steiner
has crossed and re- crossed the
Atlantic thirty four different times,
and has "a fund of rich experience
to draw ul on, which makes him one
Of the most outstanding and inter
esting speakers on the American
platform today.
Miss Lora Lulsdorf, mezz So
prano of Minneapolis will appear
In a concert during the summer.
Arrangements for other musical
programs are now under way.
The summer term begins June IL
and continues until July Fl.
