GENERAL STATEMENT.

The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted primarily
for teachers and students in high schools, academies and colleges. It
takes as its peculiar province, not the ordinary summer institute, nor
the more popular and inspirational summer school, but the solid and
substantial training of high school teachers, college teachers, college
students, and teachers who either have professional and life certificates
or wish to procure them. Because the courses of instruction in high
schools are not clearly defined but merge into the grammar grades
below and into the lower college classes above, the high school offers
itself as a strategic center around which to build up instruction, the
emphasis of which is upon subject matter. The justification of such
a summer school for high school teachers is the unusual activity in
the South just now in behalf of secondary education. The large number
of high school and college teachers attending the Summer School
last year is an additional proof of the need of such a school. There
were 1,350 regularly registered students in the session of 1910 besides
a large number of visitors.

LOCATION.—Charlottesville, the seat of the University of Virginia,
is in a picturesque and healthful situation among the foot-hills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is at the junction of two great lines
of railway, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Southern, and is thus of
easy access from every part of the country. The sanitary arrangements
of the University are excellent. The climate is invigorating,
healthful, and free from malarial conditions, the average elevation of
the surrounding country being about six hundred and fifty feet above
sea level; the water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity from a
mountain reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and sewers
is complete. One mile from the University is an excellent iron spring
connected with the Jefferson Park Hotel, a much frequented resort.

LABORATORIES AND MUSEUMS.—The equipment possessed
by the University for the work of instruction, alike in academic and
in the professional departments, has been much augmented in recent
years, and is now excellent in quality, as well as extensive. In scientific
studies large facilities are offered by the Rouss Physical Laboratory,
the Chemical Laboratory and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry,
the Lewis Brooks Museum, the Biological Laboratory.

THE GENERAL LIBRARY.—The General Library is open to
the corps of instructors and the students of the Summer School from
9 A. M. to 1:30 P. M., 3 to 5, and from 7:30 to 10 P. M. The collection
contains about seventy thousand volumes, including the standard
books of history, literature, and science, and is particularly rich in
materials for the study of education and other social subjects. The
reference section is well supplied with encyclopædias and other
sources of information.

All books withdrawn from the library must be charged at the desk.
Usually books are lent for one week but there are exceptions, and the
loan expires on the date stamped in the book. Prompt return not later
than the date on which the loan expires is expected and borrowers
will be fined ten cents for each day delinquent. Students are expected
to give prompt attention to all communications from the librarian.
Volumes in the reference collection are not available to borrowers
but may be freely consulted in the library, and works in current


12

Page 12
general use in connection with any course of instruction will be
temporarily placed on reference and made subject to this rule. All
bound magazines are classed as reference books.

REST AND STUDY ROOMS.—Madison Hall, the beautiful
new building of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was
recently erected at the cost of seventy-five thousand dollars, will be
open to students of the Summer School from nine o'clock in the
morning until ten at night. Students will have access to the current
periodicals in the reading room during the day and until ten at night.
The other rooms will be used for rest, for study, for recreation, and
for social gatherings. North of the building there are nineteen tennis
courts which will be equipped for the use of the students.

DAILY GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Daily from 11:30 to 12:15
there will be a period, in which the students may have the privilege
of attending a gathering of the entire body. At this time there will
be short addresses on some interesting topic, and a brief prayer and
song service, under the leadership of some clergyman or member of
the faculty. Generally the singing will be choral, under the direction
of the instructor of music, but occasionally, as opportunity offers,
prominent soloists will be procured.

SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES.—Experience has shown that
no Sunday Chapel service held here during the summer has been
more attractive or more appreciated than what has sometimes been
called the Sunset Service. Further advantage of holding this service
at this hour is that it enables all the faculty and the students of the
summer school to unite in one common service without at all interfering
with their attending the churches of their choice in the city.
This service, which will always be kept within one hour, will begin
at seven o'clock. It will consist of congregational singing and a
brief address by some prominent minister or layman. The pipe
organ used in this service is the work of one of the best organ makers
in the country, and is admirably adapted, both in size and tone, for
church purposes.

RECREATION.—Provision has been made to keep the Fayerweather
Gymnasium open for regularly registered students during
the summer, under the control of a competent gymnasium director,
who will give daily systematic instruction in physical culture. No
fee will be charged for these courses nor for the use of the gymnasium,
and it is hoped that every student will come prepared to
take advantage of the physical training courses. A portion of each
day set apart to systematic physical development will be profitably
spent. The swimming pool and baths will be at the service of the
students. The tennis courts belonging to Madison Hall will also be
kept in readiness, duly marked and with nets in place. The splendid
athletic field, one of the finest in the South, with base-ball ground
and quarter mile running track, will be at the disposal of those who
wish to engage in the manly sports. Within three minutes' walk
from the Academic Building, the woods may be reached. These
woods and the neighboring mountains furnish ample opportunity for
pleasant strolls or for longer tramps on the part of those more
vigorous. One of these walks leads to Fry's Spring, a most efficacious
chalybeate spring, which may also be reached by street car.

EXCURSIONS.—Under the directorship of a competent guide,
there will be excursions to neighboring points of interest such as


13

Page 13
Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray
Cavern; the battle fields in Virginia; and any other points to which a
sufficiently large number may care to go. The proximity to Washington
and Richmond (three hours ride to each) should make a visit
to either exceptionally interesting. Saturdays will be reserved for
these excursions. On all clear nights parties will leave Cabell Hall at 8
o'clock to visit the McCormick Astronomical Observatory, where they
will be shown the stars through the large telescope in the Observatory.

ORGAN RECITALS, ENTERTAINMENTS, AND LECTURES.—The
pipe organ in Cabell Hall is one of the best products
of one of the largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal
organ with fifteen hundred pipes, and exhibits all the possibilities
of organ manufacture. To bring out these possibilities requires
a master organist, and it is the purpose of the management of
the Summer School to procure distinguished organists for the recitals.

Three outdoor performances of Shakespearean plays will be given
July 21st and 22d by the Coburn Shakespeare Players, who have
given their delightful performances before most of the large Universities,
Country Clubs, and Summer Schools in this country.

Other entertainments will be announced during the session of the
Summer School.

RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 17th and July
21st will be devoted to the study of problems of rural life in general,
and rural school problems in particular. The discussions will center
around the large topics of better educational facilities for rural communities;
better means of communication; improved methods of cooperation;
the improvement of sanitary conditions; good roads; etc.
Especial emphasis is to be placed on woman's work in the country,
and the country preacher. One day will be given to a conference for
preachers in country communities. Distinguished speakers from all
sections of the United States will participate in these conferences.

There has been no more helpful, interesting, and vital enterprise
connected with the Summer School than this conference. It is of
interest not only to the students attending the Summer School, but
to county superintendents, progressive farmers, and citizens' improvement
leagues. The proceedings of the Conference for last year
were published and distributed and proved so popular that the supply
was exhausted long before the demand for copies ceased.

TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives demands for teachers each year. This Committee
would be glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance
upon the Summer School leave their applications with the Director,
who is a member of the Committee.

REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the Summer
School from points within the territory covered by the Southeastern
Passenger Association, i. e., the territory lying south of the Potomac
and east of the Mississippi, should apply several weeks in advance to
their local agents for reduced rates. In case the agent has received
no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville,
Virginia, the applicant should write promptly to the Director of the
Summer School.
Reduced rate tickets can be bought only on one
of the following dates—June 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, and July 3, and 10.
It is expected that all railways within this territory will co-operate


14

Page 14
in the sale of these reduced rate tickets. Those coming from beyond
this territory should write to the Director of the Summer School for
instructions.

BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $3.50 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $4.50 per week. Many of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University grounds.

One hundred and seventy-five single rooms and fifty double rooms
in the University dormitories will be reserved in the order of application
upon the following terms: The price will be $4.50 for the
full term of six weeks for a single room, and $7.00 for a room which
will accommodate two. No reduction will be made for parts of a
term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied with the full
amount of the fee in order to have them reserved. No rooms will be
rented to any person who does not register and pay the fee in the
Summer School. Rooms that are reserved will not be held later than
July 1st. No room will be open for occupancy before June 17th. Each
room is lighted by electricity and will contain one bed, one mattress,
one pillow, one chiffonier, one table, one rocking chair, one straight
chair. Wash stands and toilet sets will be provided where necessary.
Roomers must provide themselves with necessary bed-clothes, towels,
etc. The Randall Building, East and West Lawns and East and
West Ranges will be reserved exclusively for ladies and will be under
the charge of an experienced matron and chaperone. Some member
of the faculty will be located in each set of dormitories. The
rooms on Dawson's Row will be reserved for men. The location of
these dormitories in the University grounds and the social advantages
resulting from bringing so many teachers close together make this
arrangement a very desirable one and the rooms are eagerly sought.

The University Commons, the handsome new dining-hall, is now
fully completed and equipped and is being operated successfully this
session. It will be open for summer students and will provide table
board for three hundred and fifty persons at the very low price of
$3.50 a week.

Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly, with
retaining fee, to Mr. P. M. Chichester, University, Virginia.

For list of boarding houses, rates, see page 56.

TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.
Recitations will begin in all courses Tuesday, June 20th, at 8:30 A.
M. Students should present themselves at the first meeting of their
classes with the required text-books and be prepared with tablets to
take notes on introductory lectures. There will be no classes on
Saturday unless arranged for by individual instructors, except on Saturday,
June 24th, and Saturday, July 1st, when classes will meet at
the usual hour. The length of recitation will be one hour, ten
minutes of which may be allowed for transfer from one room to another.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 27th, 28th, and 29th,
will be used for examinations; the determination being to provide for
six full weeks of recitation over and above registration and examination
days.

Following the outline of each course in this announcement will be
found the time and place of meeting for each class. The courses outlined
will be given as scheduled. Students should therefore follow
the schedule in selecting courses that will not conflict. It is well for


15

Page 15
the student to select such courses from this catalogue before the
opening of the Summer School, so that little delay may be experienced
in registration. The Summer School lecture rooms are for the
most part restricted to four buildings—Cabell Hall, Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory and the Rotunda.

REGISTRATION.—Monday, June 19th, will be devoted to the
registration of students. All students who can possibly do so should
register on this day. Those who fail to register before June 20th
will be permitted to attend classes and register as promptly as possible
at other hours until June 22nd. The Registrar's office, located
in the southeast rooms of the Rotunda, will be open continuously
June 19th, 20th, and 21st, from 8:30 a. m. until 9 p. m. Students
should consult freely with members of the Faculty in case of difficulty
in choosing courses. No certificate will be granted to students
who fail to register before Monday, June 26th, except a certificate of
attendance. Students preparing to stand the examination for teachers'
certificates held at this place by the State Board of Examiners,
June 26th, 27th, and 28th, may enter at any time during the session.

The form of registration will be as follows: Each student upon
application will receive a card with space for name and address, and
for courses to be taken. This card should be presented to the Registrar
for purposes of filing. In exchange for it the student will receive
two cards filled out and signed by the Registrar. These cards
should then be presented to the Bursar, together with the fee for
each course. The Bursar will sign and return one card to the student,
who should present it to the instructors in charge of the courses
prescribed on the card. The student, after presenting the card to the
various instructors for enrollment in the classes, will retain the same
as a receipt from the Bursar, and for future use. No student will be
admitted to any course without a registration card naming the course
in question and properly signed by the Registrar and the Bursar.

In registering, students must state upon the registration card what
credit, if any, is desired, as arrangements for credit must be made
before taking the courses. No course may be counted toward a certificate
without the consent of the Director or Registrar, and instructors
will not admit students to any course not mentioned on their
registration card, which must be signed by the Registrar and the
Bursar to be valid.

CREDIT.—The instructor giving each course will keep the class
grades, and attendance, hold the examination, and average the class
grade with the examination grade, returning to the Director the general
average grade of each student in each course. Absences or delayed
entrance will be counted against the student. A certificate for
each course completed with an average grade of 75 per cent will be
signed by the instructor and the Director of the Summer School, and
mailed to the student. When all of the certificates issued by the Director,
which are required for any State certificate applied for, have
been received, the President of the State Board of Examiners should
be notified, and he will issue the appropriate certificate in exchange
for the individual certificates noted above. Notice of the completion
of courses counted towards University credit should be made to the
Registrar of the University of Virginia.

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


16

Page 16
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
work done in the Summer School.

(a) The student must satisfy the entrance examination requirements
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
equivalent to those required for entrance to the University of Virginia,
and provided, that the certificates of courses completed be approved
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 of Virginia,
provided that such summer courses be approved by the University
of Virginia professor concerned as the full equivalent 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, the
Faculty Committee on Degrees, and the professor in charge of the
courses for which credit is desired certify in writing that the summer
courses completed are equivalent in character and scope to that portion
of the regular sessional work for which credit is desired.

(e) The character of the examinations and the numerical standard
(75 per cent) required for their successful completion shall be
the same as those of the sessional examinations.

Those wishing University credit should not take as a rule more
than two courses and in every case permission must be granted by
the Director to take more than three courses.

The Summer School Professional Certificate.—The following regulations
with reference to the Summer School Professional Certificate

forth on page 16 and who completes successfully the four courses
outlined above will be credited with Astronomy 1 B, with the
exception of such practical work of the course as the limitations
of the time and season make it impossible to include in
the summer course. Credit will be allowed for such practical work
as is completed, and the remainder may be taken during the regular
university session without requiring attendance upon the sessions of
the class and without additional fee.

Certificate Credit.—Summer School Professional Certificate—Astronomy
1, 2, 3, and 4.

BIOLOGY.

The summer work in biology at present offered makes provision for
the study of each of the great divisions of the organic world: separate
courses being offered in botany and in zoology. The object
in either case is, first of all, to familiarize the student with the methods
involved in the systematic study of the organization of plants or
of animals; and to give such opportunity for individual work by such
methods on the part of each student, under the guidance of the
teacher, as will enable him or her to carry on similar work elsewhere
independently with confidence and accuracy. A second object of


24

Page 24
equal importance is to give the student a clear conception of the
vegetable or the animal kingdom (as the case may be) as a whole,
in such manner as to impart a clear idea of the relations and significance
of any particular group that may be at any time the subject of
special interest. These ends are sought in each case by the presentation
in the laboratory of a series of representative forms, each of
which is in turn made the subject of careful study as to its organization,
activities, and life-history: and by accompanying lectures, in
which the results of the work in the laboratory are explained and
supplemented, and the relations of the organism in question to the
other forms studied and discussed. Two courses will be offered in
both zoology and botany, a lecture course and a laboratory course,
which may be taken separately but which in each case will be more
profitably taken together. The examinations at the close of the session
in either botany or zoology will cover both the lectures and the
laboratory work.

The Biological Laboratory is admirably equipped with simple and
compound microscopes, microtomes, and other appliances for cutting,
staining, and mounting sections for microscopic study, etc.; and
while the prime object of the courses given will be to teach students
to observe accurately, to record their observations with precision,
and to make correct inferences therefrom, care will be taken to make
them familiar in large measure with the principles of microscopal and
other biological technic.

1. Systematic Botany.—This course is intended to afford to teachers
and others an opportunity to become familiar with the forms of
plant life least generally understood, or most likely to offer discouraging
difficulties to the beginner who undertakes them independently
and unaided. It will consist of synoptical lectures upon the vegetable
kingdom and will be devoted chiefly to the study of seedless (or
"flowerless") plants, supplemented by a brief study of the organization
and life-history of representatives of the seed (or "flowering")
plants. It should be taken in connection with the laboratory course
in botany.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

2. Structural Botany.—This course will be a laboratory course
parallel with the lecture course above outlined. The following topics
will be studied: use of the microscope and simple microscopic technic;
fern-like plants—a fern, an equisetum, a clubmoss; moss-like plants—
a liverwort, a true moss; plant-cells—structure, growth, modification,
the methods of cell-division; algæ—a representative brown alga, a red
alga, green algæ, especially the more abundant water forms; fungi—
a mushroom, a cupfungus, the more abundant parasitic fungi, moulds
and mildews, yeast; lichens; fission plants—the fission algæ, the bacteria.

Daily, from 9:30 to 12:30. Professor Tuttle. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

3. Systematic Zoology.—The object of this course is first, to
indicate the relationships that exist between the various types that
compose the animal kingdom; and second, to furnish teachers and
others such a knowledge of the chief types of invertebrates and of
certain types of vertebrates as is necessary to form a basis for nature
study and the teaching of elementary physiology. The laboratory
course in zoology should be taken in connection with this lecture
course.

Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

4. Structural Zoology.—This course is a laboratory course parallel
with the course above outlined. The following topics will be studied:


25

Page 25
use of the microscope and simple microscopical technic; protozoa—
amœba, paramecium; coelenterates—hydra and others; flatworms;
threadworms, animal parasitism; annelids—earthworm, nereis; mollusks—mussel
or clam; echinoderms—starfish, sea urchin; crustacea—
"water fleas," shrimps, crayfish, crabs; insects—grasshopper, beetle,
bee; chordates—amphioxus, dogfish, frog; fundamental tissues of
animals—the animal cell, cell-division, maturation of the ovum, segmentation
and development.

Daily, from 3:30 to 6:30. Professor Kepner. Cabell Hall, Room 12.

Note.—In addition to the regular fee a laboratory fee of two
dollars each will be charged in Courses 2 and 4.

University Credit.—A student who passes the examination on the
two courses in botany and the two courses in zoology (either in the
same or in consecutive sessions of the Summer Session) on complying
with the requirements for admission to the University of Virginia,
will be entitled to credit for Course 1 B in general biology, or for
the requirements in that subject for admission to the Department of
Medicine. A student who passes the examination on the two courses
in botany under similar conditions, will be entitled to credit for an
equivalent portion of Course 1 B in botany. Subject to the same conditions,
a student who passes the examination on the two courses
in zoology only will be entitled to credit for a corresponding portion
of Course 1 B in zoology.

Certificate Credit.—Summer School Professional Certificate—Biology,
1, 2, 3, and 4; Special Certificate—1, 2, 3, and 4.

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 excursions 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.—Dana's Manual of Botany.

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.

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 that
subject. Courses 1-4 are especially intended to illustrate the 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 courses in drawing are planned to give the teachers of
primary, grammar, and high school grades, and supervisors a practical
knowledge of drawing and art, as now given in the modern progressive
schools. The purpose will not only be to give facility in
representing form, but also the study of design, composition, pictorial
and imaginative drawing, both still life and landscape, and to suggest
definite ways and means for teaching drawing in the class room.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the courses have been
made to cover two years thus giving an opportunity for more advanced
and thorough work. An attempt will be made to adapt the
courses to the needs of all applicants, and especially to the need of
those teachers who fancy that they cannot draw.

1. Freehand Drawing.—This course is especially designed, not
only for those who need a thorough drill in the fundamentals of
freehand drawing to assist them as teachers, but also, for those who
are anticipating further study of art. Perspective, necessary to a
clear understanding of representative drawing, will be considered at
first, and its relation to art study demonstrated in the lessons which
follow. The course will include the drawing of single objects and
groups of still life, the figure, plant and flower forms, trees and
landscape, in line, in tones, and in color using pencil, brush, and
ink; charcoal and color. Special emphasis will be placed upon composition.
Much of the work will be done out of doors. Those taking
this course are expected to enter the classes in lettering which

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. English Grammar and Composition.—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.

Text-Books.—Meiklejohn's English Grammar (D. C. Heath & Co.);
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;
third, to encourage among teachers and pupils alike good reading
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.—Canby's English Composition in Theory and Practice
(Macmillan); Wooley's Handbook of Composition (D. C. Heath).

Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Fulton. Cabell Hall, Room 4.

3. English Literature.—This course is a general survey of the
history of English literature from Milton to Tennyson. Special
emphasis will be laid on the writings that are adapted to high school
work and more specifically on college entrance requirements. An


38

who desire to inform themselves about Southern literature
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.

Other plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries will be read as
parallel.

Text-Book.—Any complete standard edition of Shakespeare such
as Neilson's, The Globe, or Leopold editions.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Wauchope. Cabell Hall.
Room 4.

7. British Essayists.—This course is intended for those who have
graduated at some standard college or pursued courses in English
literature equivalent to the B. A. course in the University of Virginia.
This course will be a careful study of six essayists with reference
both to content and style. The essayists selected are Carlyle,
Newman, Arnold, Ruskin and Stevenson. Parallel reading in other
contemporary essayists may be required. The work will be conducted
by conferences, lectures, and written reports.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Kent and Professor Metcalf.

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;

series of language books, and professional works on teaching
language, be brought for reference.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Miss Andrews. Cabell Hall, Room 2.

9. 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
case, the personal pronoun, all phases of analysis, and, above all, the
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.

FRENCH.

The courses deal with language. Students are carried to the point
where a study of French literature may begin. Pronunciation and
the ability to understand easy spoken French are held to be quite as
essential as the knowledge of forms. In both courses, the student
will not be considered as having mastered a form (either word, or
phrase), until he has learned to recognize the form by sound and is
able to reproduce the sound.
