of Virginia Summer School or one of similar rank for at least
two sessions of six weeks each and shall make an average of 75 per
cent on class work and examination in six courses other than elementary
school subjects. Such certificates shall continue in force
for seven years, subject to renewal from time to time. The six
courses required shall include at least four subjects. One of the
six courses required for the Summer School Professional Certificate
shall be taken in the subject of English, another shall be taken in
Education. The other four courses shall be chosen from any of the
following groups, provided that not more than two of the six courses
shall be chosen from any one group; Subjects in Industrial Education;

requirements for the Summer School Professional Certificate
as given above, and who attends the University Summer School for
two sessions of six weeks each and completes satisfactorily at least
one course in Educational Psychology, and in addition three courses
in any one subject, to be selected from courses prescribed for this
certificate in the University Department, will be given a Special
Certificate to teach the subject specialized in. This certificate will
be good for five years and renewable from time to time.
Professional Elementary Certificates.—Two Professional Elementary
Certificates will be issued by the Virginia State Board of Examiners:
The Professional Elementary Certificate—Primary Grades;
and the Professional Elementary Certificate—Grammar Grades. These
certificates will be issued for a term of seven years and will be renewable
for a similar period from time to time.
The requirements for entrance to the work leading to the Professional
Elementary Certificates are the same as those for the Summer
School Professional Certificate as outlined above. In addition
to the completion of the courses below leading to the Professional
Elementary Certificates, a teacher must have had at least nine
months successful experience in Primary or Grammar Grade school
teaching, as certified to by the superintendent and principal, before
the certificate can be issued.
The above regulations may be slightly modified by the State
Board of Education before the Summer School Catalogue is issued.
Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application has
been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Board of Examiners. Credits are now allowed
toward the extension of the certificates by certain other
States. Some States authorize the University Summer School instructors
to hold State examinations. In other States arrangements
may be made upon application of the teachers from those States.
All persons wishing to arrange for credits with their respective
school authorities should correspond with the Director of the Summer
School.
University of Virginia Credit.—Below are stated the conditions
upon which credit in the University of Virginia may be granted for

of the University of Virginia and matriculate before he can
receive credit in the College for any work done in the University
of Virginia Summer School.
(b) The Dean of the College will accept the completion of the
courses in the Summer School in lieu of the entrance examinations
in the same subject, provided that in his judgment the courses are

by the University of Virginia professor concerned.
(c) The Dean of the College and the professor in charge of the
school in which credit is desired will accept certificates of completion
of summer courses in lieu of "A" courses in the University

in character and scope of the corresponding "A" courses in the
University.
(d) Certificates of completion of certain summer courses approved
by the Academic Faculty will be accepted in lieu of portions
of "B" courses, provided that in each case the Dean of the College,

summer courses completed are equivalent in character and scope to
that portion of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired.

Teachers' Positions.—The University Bureau of Appointments receives

ranging from $4.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations, the average being $4.50 per

adjoining, the university grounds. A limited number of students
may, upon application, procure rooms in the university buildings at
a nominal rental to cover actual expenses of furniture and attendance.
The Commons, the handsome new dining hall on the university
grounds, is now at the service of Summer School students.
The cost of board in the dining hall will not exceed $4.00 per week.
Applications should be made as early as possible.
Reduced Railway Rates.—All students coming to the Summer
