BIOLOGY.
1. High School Botany.—This course is outlined primarily to give
the student a knowledge of how plants live, grow and propagate themselves,
and of their structure. An introduction to the systematic
study and naming of ferns and flowering plants will be included in
this course. The teacher completing this work will be prepared to
place an introductory course of botany in his or her high school curriculum.
This work will also supplement, in a helpful manner, his or
her work in drawing, geography and physiology. No text-book required.
Laboratory fee $1.00.
Daily, 8:30 to 9:30; Laboratory 9:30 to 11:30. Professor Kepner.

FIELD BOTANY.
The outline projected is intended to give to the student a systematized
course of study, making it an easy and agreeable task for him
to identify the various plant families in his locality and acquire methods
of study by which children may identify and become familiar
with the individual plants of their neighborhood.
At the beginning of the course attention will be given to plant
morphology and physiology, but the course will be of a practical
character and performed in the fields and forests near the University
where the plant life is diversified and rich in both indigenous and imported
varieties, furnishing exceptional opportunities for the purpose.
During the term each student will, under direction, collect, identify,
mount, and preserve, characteristic types, so that he will have
commenced the accumulation of an herbarium for use in his teaching,
and to which he can continually add specimens from his own locality
or that in which he is teaching.
The results of the work contemplated should be of great value to
the State, not only for its educational influence, but also for its economic
importance as well. It would be fair to assume that with the
teachers followed by their pupils working out the plants of all parts
of the Commonwealth, it would only be a brief period until, from the
collaboration of these collections, a complete and systematic symposium
of Virginia's flora would be available, and the information now
limited to a few, and possessing only scientific importance, would become
common knowledge and acquire economic value, influencing
agriculture, horticulture, and many important manufacturing industries.
The hours for daily exercises will be arranged as far as possible
so that they will not conflict with other courses taught in the Summer
School.
Daily, from 5:30 to 6:30. Professor Lambeth. Rotunda, Room 3.
Text-Book.—Gray's Manual of Botany.
Certificate Credit.—Summer School Professional Certificate—Advanced
Grade and High School Grade.

designed to meet the needs of those who may have to give instruction
in chemistry in high schools. A daily discussion of the elementary
principles of the science will be held and simple lecture table
demonstrations made.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Bird. West Range Laboratory.
2. Laboratory Course for High School Teachers.—The sole object
of this course is to train each member of the class to give laboratory
instruction in secondary schools; the situation that is likely to confront
each one will be considered individually. The following topics
will be discussed: the particular branches of the subject which should
be taught high school students; the apparatus and chemicals necessary
and their cost; how to equip a laboratory and how to make the
best use of facilities likely to be found in a high school. It is
planned to have the teacher perform, under the eye of the instructor,
all experiments that the pupils should perform and such demonstration
experiments as seem desirable. Special attention will be given to
the fitting up of apparatus at a nominal cost, and the apparatus thus
assembled may be taken away for future use. The essential pedagogic
points of the experiments will be discussed fully and an effort
made to show the teacher how to instill life into the laboratory work
of the pupil, by pointing out its practical bearing. The chief emphasis
will be laid upon the essential phenomena and laws of matter
changes, especially those of daily occurrence.
Daily, 2 hours before 2 P. M. Professor Edgar. West Range
Laboratory.

CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY.
It will be the aim of the courses in Latin and Greek to open to all
teachers and students the advantages of University instruction in
teaching of Latin in the secondary schools. Courses 5-7 are intended
to open to teachers and summer students the more important fields
of college Latin. The desirability of a knowledge of Greek and of at
least one Romanic language is specially commended to all who wish
to reap the full cultural and scientific benefit of the college courses
in Latin. Greece is the fountain head of European culture, and Rome
its universalizer and transmitter to the modern world. The instruction
will aim to exhibit these relations and thus to emphasize the
unity and continuity of all human culture. Course 1 is preparatory.
Thereafter the work is organized in all courses as follows: Latin
language—systematic study of Latin grammar, with oral and written
exercises in prose composition; Latin literature—systematic study of
the Latin authors, as nearly as possible in culture-historical sequence;
Roman life—systematic study of Roman culture-history in English,
in conjunction with the reading of the authors.

DRAWING.
The classes in drawing are planned to give the teachers of the
primary, grammar and high-school grades and supervisors of drawing,
a practical knowledge of drawing as now taught in the most modern
and progressive schools. The purpose will be to give not only facility
in representation but to teach the fundamentals that underlie design,
composition, pictorial and imaginative drawing. More emphasis will
be placed on composition than on representation and every step will
be taken up in turn and definite ways suggested for use in the school
room with each lesson.
An attempt will be made to suit the courses to the needs of all applicants
and especially to the needs of those teachers who fancy they
cannot draw.
A special art certificate will be given to those who complete the
course here outlined which will certify that the holder is competent
to do supervisors work.
Drawing 1.—For teachers of grades from one to four, inclusive.
This is so arranged that the lessons will be in progressive order,
The classes will be conducted in the following manner: First, the
careful explanation of design, its intent and processes: Second, an
exhibition of fine examples of work by teachers and children who
have already taken the course: Third, processes carried out by the
class under the supervision of instructors.
First Year—First Grade: Cut paper to paste, outline filled in with
color, play with water color, copy color natural objects, pose drawing
with brush, illustration, doll house furnishing (make wall paper, etc.,

1 and 2 and aims to give the teachers a few simple problems that
will when worked out give the students not only some dexterity of
hand but give them real appreciation of the fine things about them.
The conduct of the class will be the same as 1 and 2—the explanation,
exhibition of work actually done by high-school students, carrying
out the operation described.
First Year—Spacing in lines (a) Geometric design for tiles, spacing
in tone and color (b) putting same design into tone and color,

and for teachers who are in charge of schools. Conditions in Virginia
and the South will furnish the basis for much of the class discussion.
The main topics treated in the course will be the care of the schoolchild's
health, including the hygiene of buildings, equipment, discipline,
defects, disease; the mission of public schools in a
democracy; the problems of State and local administration; school

course is based on two books selected by the Virginia Department of
Public Instruction as required reading for teachers for 1911-1912. The
members of the class will be expected to own copies of these texts and
to use them in preparation for class discussion. One of the purposes of
the course is to prepare teachers to take a leading part in reading
circles and institutes in their counties or cities. Some of the subjects
to be discussed are the preparation of the teacher; aims of education;
course of study; grading and promotion; daily program; recitation;
assignment of lessons; pupils' study; methods of teaching; habit
and character; school discipline; location, building, and decoration
of schools; lighting, ventilation, and heating; hygiene of seats,
desks, and other equipment; cleaning, contagious diseases, physical
education, eyes, ears, breathing passages, fatigue.

will be confined to the practical needs of the members of the class.
The following topics will be considered: organization of the school—
grading, examination and promotion of pupils; school government—
mechanizing, routine, movement of classes, incentives, punishment;
curriculum and daily program—study periods, recitation, recreation;
the teacher—individuality, rights, duties, etc.; the principal and his
relation to the teacher; recesses and playground supervision; the
a social center—parents, lectures, etc.; school libraries; decoration of
school rooms and grounds.

designed to meet the needs of principals and teachers responsible
for the construction and administration of high school
curricula. The chief topics for discussion will be: the function of the
high school in its relation to other institutions of learning, to the
pupils, and to society; educational aims; educational values; the place
and importance of each subject in the curriculum, the relative worth
of the topics within the several subjects; time allotments to topics;
constants; electives; construction of curricula and daily schedules;
the qualifications and equipment of high school teachers; the peculiar
characteristics and needs of high school pupils; the high school
of the immediate future.
Text-Book.—High School Education—Johnston.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Hand. Law Building, Room 2.
5. Educational Psychology and the Principles of Teaching.—Inasmuch
as the principles of teaching are based upon a working knowledge
of the fundamental processes of consciousness the first half of
this course is devoted to the study of the facts of mental growth and
development as presented in Thorndike's Elements of Psychology
with special emphasis upon that portion of the text dealing with
Functional Psychology. To control human nature the teacher needs
to know it. The second half of this course is devoted to studying
how the teacher may best produce and prevent changes in his pupils
and thus preserve and increase the desirable qualities of body, intellect
and character and get rid of the undesirable. Since the basis
of a mind's action—the starting point of the life of intellect, feeling
and conduct—is its equipment of instincts and capacities, its native
or unlearned tendencies; especial emphasis is put upon the study of
the methods of their control and utilization for ideal ends. Since the
mind assimilates knowledge by means of knowledge already acquired
many detailed applications of the General Law of Apperception are
presented and discussed. Other subjects for study and discussion
are: Interest; Individual Differences; Attention; Habit Formation;
Memory; Analysis; Reasoning; Moral Training; and Formal Discipline.
Text-Books.—Thorndike's Elements of Psychology; Thorndike's
Principles of Teaching.

opening of the nineteenth century. The main study in the course
will be confined to the period from the year 1800 to the present.
Special attention will be given to the inseparable relationship between
education and other institutional factors in national life, showing
that educational ideals and educational systems are at the same
educational ideals, aims, and tendencies in the United States.

ENGLISH.
The courses in English are designed to meet the needs of the following
groups of students: present or prospective high school teachers;
professional or technical students who have entered upon their
professional courses and found that their training in English is so
defective as to interfere with their prospects in their chosen professions;
students preparing for college entrance examinations; students
conditioned on their entrance examinations or in their college
courses at other institutions; college professors and instructors who
may be especially interested in methods of teaching English; teachers
in elementary schools who are interested in language study for
small children. It is desirable that all students of English take advantage
of the work in composition, upon which special emphasis
will be laid. Private conferences for criticism and personal supervision
of theme writing will be arranged for by the instructor.
1. Advanced English Grammar for High School and College Teachers.—This
course is designed especially for high school teachers. No
subjects in the high school curriculum are more unsettled than those
of grammar and composition, both being in a transitive stage. The
multiplication of high schools in the South has called attention afresh
to the importance of English but there is still little uniformity in
methods of teaching it. An attempt will be made to suggest standards
of instruction in grammar and composition.

Joyne's Notes on the Parts of Speech (R. L. Bryan Co.).
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Wauchope. Cabell Hall,
Room 3.
2. Rhetoric and Composition.—The purpose of this course is
three-fold: first, to master as far as possible the subject matter of
the text-book, and in doing this to emphasize particularly accuracy
and correctness in writing; second, to indicate the best methods of
teaching this subject in the schools so as to interest the pupils and
induce them to take advantage of local material and opportunities;
both for its own sake and specifically for the sake of mental discipline.
Short themes will frequently be called for and several longer
papers required. Weekly personal conferences will be held at hours
to be appointed.
Text-Books.—Espenshade's Composition and Rhetoric (D. C. Heath);
Nutter, Hersey, and Greenough's Specimens of Prose Composition

work and more specifically on college entrance requirements. An
attempt will be made to give suggestions for future work in all the
periods.
Text-Books.—Any edition of the classics suggested above; any
good history of English literature (preferably Pancoast's) and
Manly's English Poetry.

either as a matter of general culture or for the prospect of teaching
this subject in the schools. It will be a general survey of the intellectual
and literary life of the South from 1607 to the present day.
The course will be conducted mainly by lectures and class assignments,
but parallel reading and occasional written reports will be
required.
Text-Books.—Holliday's History of Southern Literature; Mims and
Payne's Southern Prose and Poetry. Constant reference will be made
to the Library of Southern Literature.
Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Kent and Professor Painter.

Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Metcalf. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
Course 8. Advanced Composition: Narration and Exposition.—This
course in writing is designed for students whose work in general
rhetoric and composition has advanced sufficiently to justify specialization
in the types of discourse. Those who at a previous session
have had the course in Rhetoric and Composition, No. 2, or its
equivalent, will be prepared for this advanced class. The work will
precede by a study and discussion of the principles of narration and
exposition, especially the short story and the short essay, by critical
reading of some of the best specimens from recent American authors,
and by exercise in both types.
Text-Books.—Esenwein's Writing the Short-Story (Hinds, Noble, &

specimens of stories and essays from the best current magazines.
Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Myers. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
9. Elementary Language.—This course is planned to give teachers
of the elementary schools a brief, concentrated study of the essentials
of matter and method for the language work of all grades above the
primary. The topics discussed will include the following: the purpose
and plan of language study; vital points in language teaching;
language environment; relation of language to other subjects; the
child's own activities and experience as a basis for language work;
language and character; language and the community; the teacher
of language; literature and language; English for rural schools; importance
of oral language training; types of oral lessons—conversation
lessons, picture lessons, the study of stories, memorizing poems,
dramatization, the correction of common errors of speech; spelling
and word study; the course of study in language; the function and
types of written work; how to secure better written work. The
treatment of these topics will be practical and suggestive, rather than
theoretical.
Text-Books.—Hyde's Two Book Course in English, Book I; Emerson
and Bender's Modern English, Book I. It is recommended that any
series of language books, and professional works on teaching language,
be brought for reference.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Miss Andrews and Miss Hiner. Cabell
Hall, Room 2.
10. Elementary Grammar.—This course aims primarily at giving
teachers a deeper, surer knowledge of the subject matter of grammar,
and those completing the work satisfactorily should find themselves
thoroughly, prepared for the State examination in this subject. The
instruction will cover the work of the seventh and eighth grades.
Language will be considered mainly from the functional side, and
presented so as to provide training in the actual process of thinking.
There will be a condensed study of the essential features of descriptive
grammar, with especial emphasis upon the more difficult points
—the abstract noun, the comparison of adjectives, the function of
verb and the verbals. Frequent touches of comparative and historical
grammar will be employed for the sake of the new light and interest
to be gained therefrom. There will be, in addition, some consideration
of the historical development of grammar teaching, the function
and purpose of grammar, the place of grammar in the elementary
schools, the relation of grammar to language work, and grammar as
a record of usage rather than a law of usage.
Text-Books.—Hyde's Two-Book Course in English, Book II; Emerson
and Bender's Modern English, Book II.

grammar will be formed for those teachers who need drill for the
State Examinations. The work of this class will be based on the outline
furnished by the Department of Education. Students preparing

phrase), until he has learned to recognize the form by sound and is
able to reproduce the sound.
1. Elementary French.—This course consists of: grammar, through
the regular verbs; the more important irregular verbs; oral and written
exercises; dictation.
Text-Books.—Fraser and Squair's French Grammar (Heath); François

SCHOOL MUSIC.
Courses for Supervisors of Music.—These courses are primarily intended
for the training of supervisors of music and special teachers
of music in the public schools. In order to complete the work
and receive a supervisor's certificate, it is required to attend three
summer sessions. Detailed information in regard to home study
during the academic year may be had on application to Professor
Drake.
Courses for Grade Teachers.—The probability is that the near future
will witness a requirement made by school boards and state
boards of education, demanding that the grade teacher shall qualify
in music as she must qualify in every other subject in the elementary
curriculum. Such a requirement is already in force in several
states. This makes a special course of music for grade teachers an
actual necessity.
A teacher who takes the first-year and second-year courses and
completes the work satisfactorily, will have received thorough training
in sight reading, in ear training and dictation, will have taken
an elementary course in melody, and will have received instruction
in the methods of presenting public school music. It gives the
teacher as much freedom in knowledge of methods and material in
music as in the subjects of geography, spelling, arithmetic, and the
like.
Courses for First Year Students.
1. Sight Reading—A. This is an elementary course. The requirements
for the completion of this course include the ability to read
at sight simple music, such as is taught in the first four grades of
the public schools, using Latin syllables.
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor
Drake. Madison Hall.
2. Dictation—A. (Study of tone and rhythm). This course covers
the first four grades of public school music. The subject matter
of music is presented first to the sense of hearing. In this course
the student gains power to think tones and to sense rhythms, and
and the application of the Latin syllables used in sight reading.
Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Miss Stark. Madison Hall.
3. Material—A. This course is devoted to the material for the
kindergarten and the first four grades in music. It also includes the
presentation of material, and the methods of teaching rote songs.
This course provides intimate acquaintance with the best presentation
of the subject of public school music in charts and books, taking
up for detailed study each fundamental principle as it occurs.
Some practice in reading and interpretation is included in this course.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Miss Stark. Madison Hall.
4. Methods—A. This course is devoted to the pedagogy of music
from the kindergarten to the fourth grade, inclusive. The work

Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor
Drake. Madison Hall.
7. Melody—B. This course in constructive music is valuable as a
basis of form analysis. Facility in melody writing is also a distinct
aid in rapid sight reading. Topics included under the course
are diatonic melodies, simple intervals, the chromatic inflection,
simple modulations and rhythmic development. Written work is required
daily.
Thursdays and Fridays, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Drake.
Madison Hall.
8. Dictation—B. This course deals with the problems of tone and
rhythm included in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of public
school music.
The purpose of this course in ear training and dictation is to
make the student familiar with scale relations, simple chromatic inflections,
and the simpler rhythms. It thus becomes of direct value,
both in sight reading and in listening to music. Special lessons are
provided in showing how to prepare and present dictation lessons,
both oral and written, in the classroom.

9. Material—B. This course requires the study of charts and books
employed in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grammar grades.
The development of the subject and the interrelation of songs and
studies are emphasized. Sight reading of words and music simultaneously,
supplements the singing with the syllable names.
The courses in Material A and B are given by experienced supervisors.
The methods employed are those used in the schoolroom.
These courses, therefore, become a laboratory demonstration of the
material and methods used in teaching music in the public schools
from the kindergarten to the high school.
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Miss Stark. Madison Hall.
10. Methods—B. This course includes methods for the fifth, sixth,
seventh, and eighth grammar grades, and is open only to students
who have completed Methods A. It involves a study of the pedagogy
of the subject as required by the introduction of new principles
and their combination with elementary principles. Detailed outlines
for lesson preparation, and presentation are required.

moderate difficulty in both the major and minor keys. Additional
training, including the recognition and writing of music in parts is
also required.
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Drake. Madison Hall.
12. High and Normal School Music—C. This is an advanced
course to which only third year, and still more advanced students,
are admitted. Courses in theory, in musical appreciation, and in
chorus singing are outlined and presented in detail. The many difficult
problems which confront the music teacher in the high school
and the normal school are carefully studied: such as the arrangement
and distribution of voices, programs for the high school music
recitations, supplementary music, formation of school orchestras and
glee clubs, the relation of high school music to the grades and its
place as a credit study in the curriculum, and the means of cultivating
the musical taste and ideals of the school and community.
A prominent feature of the work in this class is a practical course
in conducting. Each pupil will be required to prepare and conduct
choral selections under the supervision of the instructor.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Mrs. Waterman. Madison Hall.
13. Practice Teaching—C. Practical use of the material of all
grades, and application of methods of teaching, are required. The
students of this course demonstrate their understanding of the
principles of school music in lessons given to a class under the supervision
of the instructor. The presentation of the material, its
relation to what the pupil has already acquired, the text to be studied,
and the principles to be illustrated by original blackboard work,
form the basis of the lesson.
Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Mrs. Waterman. Madison Hall.
14. Harmony—C. This is a practical course in music writing and
analysis. The analysis of melodies, on scale and chord basis, and

PSYCHOLOGY.
1. General Psychology.—A thorough understanding of the fundamental
processes of consciousness is now considered essential to an
intelligent comprehension of many of the problems of philosophy; of
the significance of language and literature; of the meaning and purport
of history; of the principles and methods of teaching as well as
the problems and aims of education. In this course the following
mental processes will be discussed and studied with the aid of Angell's
Psychology as a text supplemented by numerous references to the
works of recognized authorities both in America and Europe: attention,
discrimination and association; sensation; perception; imagination;
memory; consciousness of meaning and the formation of concepts;
judgment and the elements of reasoning; forms and functions
of reasoning; reflex action and instinct; nature of impulse and of
emotion; general theory of emotion; volition; relation of volition
to interest, effort and desire; character and the will; and the self.
Each process will be studied with special reference to the psychophysical
organism and the nervous system, in order to make intelligible
its neural basis, genesis and development, and function. The
course will be preceded with one or more lectures on neural action
and habit.
Text.—Angell's Psychology.
