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.
Cabell Hall. Room 12.

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; Special
Certificate.

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.
3. The Principles of General Chemistry.—This course is offered
especially for those who desire University credit in general chemistry,

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,

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.
Drawing 1.—This course is intended for the teachers of grades
from one to four, inclusive. This is so arranged that the lessons will
be in progressive order, following as closely as possible the development
of the child. 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.,
repeating design).
Second Grade: Cut out own objects to paste, original design for
border, (outline) mixes own color for above, border design colored
with crayon, landscape mass (brush or crayon).
Second Year—Third Grade: Drawing still life (pencil and brush),
memory drawing (object before pupil's eye only a few seconds), simple

from five to eight inclusive, and will supplement Course 1—the lessons
being the continuation of that course. The course will be conducted
in the same manner—explanation of the meaning of the design, then
good examples of the work done by teachers and children will be
shown, then the class will work out each problem. The students of
Course 2 will be given an opportunity to visit the rooms of Course 1
and to familiarize themselves with the work being done there.
First Year—Fifth Grade. Design for rug, (color, charcoal), still
life (light and dark), landscape (light and dark color), illustration of
home industry.
Sixth Grade: Wood block printing (ends of spools), nature drawing

to 1:15. Miss Shepard. Mechanical Laboratory, Room 1.
Drawing 3.—This course is for teachers of high schools. It
supplements Courses 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,

design, etc., practical application of the design to the material in
which it is to be reproduced, and the technical skill necessary to
render the design.
First Year—Border design in light and dark, surface pattern colors,
simple color scales, block printing, textile design. Second Year
—Color harmony, practice in color scales, animals and design, human
figures in design, wall paper (surface design), interior arrangement,

Drawing 5.—This course is intended for the teachers of ungraded
schools and aims to give them as much training in the fundamental
principles that underlie Courses 1, 2 and 3 as the time will permit.
The teacher will be given in a condensed form the sequence in all the
grades. Each step will be explained and demonstrated by the instructor,
but only the most important ones will be carried out in
class. An attempt will be made to study the needs of the individual
teacher. Thus the inexperienced draftsman will be given an opportunity
to devote as much time to drawing as he needs, while the advanced
student will have opportunity to develop his creative ability
and study the simple manual training and outline the work of the
grades.
First Year—Drawing of simple objects, spacing, line, mass, color;
original design of useful objects, mat; school bag; table cover, etc.,

6. 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.

opening of the nineteenth century. The main study in the course
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
time causes and results. Emphasis will be placed upon the present
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. 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.

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
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.—Espenshade's Composition and Rhetoric (D. C. Heath);
Nutter, Hersey, and Greenough's Specimens of Prose Composition

periods.
Text-Books.—Any edition of the classics suggested above; any
good history of English literature (preferably Pancoast's) and
Manly's English Poetry.
Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Mims. Cabell Hall, Room 4.

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.

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
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 Metcalf. Cabell Hall, Room 4.
8. The Short Story.—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 proceed by a study and discussion of the principles of
the short story, by critical reading of some of the best specimens from
American authors, and by exercises in the art of story-writing.
Text-Books.—Esenwein's Writing the Short-Story (Hinds, Noble &
Eldredge), selected specimens of the modern short story.

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.

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
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.

GEOGRAPHY.
1. Physical Geography.—In this course are discussed some of the
early cosmogonies as illustrating the evolution of ideas in regard to
the size, shape and origin of the earth. Then the main physical features
of the geography of the globe are presented in outline, while
the land masses are treated in greater detail. The different types of
mountains, plains and plateaus and also the variety of land forms
produced by the agents of erosion are described, and their scenic features
and economic aspects are emphasized in connection with the
fundamental principles underlying their development. Among the
topics treated are the following: The atmosphere, the elements of
cartography, such as the construction, use and interpretation of
maps; classes of rocks, origin of soils, effects of glaciation, theories
as to the cause of Vulcanism, character and functions of lakes and
oceans, sources of water supply, springs and wells and their proper
location and protection from pollution; types of rivers and their relative
value for water power, transportation, etc.
The lectures will be supplemented by text-book study and assignments
for reading. The afternoon sessions will be largely in the nature
of laboratory work devoted to the examination and interpretation
of maps, showing a great number of different types of topography.

2. Commercial Geography.—This course is designed for those who
want to study geography from the view point of man's industrial development
and trading, and hence desire to become acquainted with
the distribution, transportation, manufacture, use, etc., of the world's
chief commercial products. Particular emphasis is laid on the resources
of the United States and the regions of their occurrence, although
at greater or less length. Among the subjects that are to be most
emphasized are the following: The physiography of the United
States, its plant products, animal and mineral industries, water resources,
concentration of industries, transportation and commerce.
The same topics will be discussed, but more briefly, with reference
to foreign countries.
It is desired that students taking commercial geography should be
quite familiar with the fundamental principles of physical geography,
although that is not demanded as a prerequisite. The class will employ
the text-book named below with probably an additional one to
be announced later. The text will be supplemented by lectures and,
using the literature, members of this class will, from time to time,
be required to prepare papers on assigned topics.

of the State examination for a first grade certificate. Subject
matter and methods of presentation will be given attention from the
standpoint of general geographic principles and of good geography
teaching, emphasizing particularly the life relations. The course will
also consider the application of so-called type studies; the use of supplementary
reading; field trips; the extent to which commercial
geography should be taught in the grammar grades; the best aids in
teaching—maps, globes, models, pictures, etc.

different phases of music teaching, to be treated on separate days.
One period a week will be devoted to the following topics: the arrangement
programs for high school music recitations; the use of supplementary
music; the formation of school orchestras and glee clubs; the intimate
relation which should be established between high school
music and the music of the grades. Three periods a week will be devoted
to practice teaching. The students will be required to demonstrate
their ability to present the principles of school music in a lesson
to be given to the entire class, taking up the following topics: the
presentation of the lesson; the relation of what the school pupil has
acquired; the use and study of the text; the possible use of illustration
by black-board work as the basis of the recitation. One period
a week will be devoted to a round table discussion of music in all its
bearings upon school life. A topic for consideration will be announced
and such essential points as have bearing upon the work of
the members of the class will be taken up.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Drake. Madison Hall.
2. Sight Singing and Chorus Work.—This course will take up on
separate days sight singing and chorus work. The work in sight
singing will require the systematic reading, throughout the session,
of graded material. Its purpose is to acquaint the student thoroughly
with the notation of music, the application of words to music, and
the general problems that underlie music reading in general. The
periods on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, will be devoted to
this part of the course. The period in chorus singing will not be
merely a period for recreation, but will be devoted to lessons in the
interpretation of the larger forms of music, and will present an opportunity
for discussion of the problems connected with chorus work
in high schools, in glee clubs, and in the independent chorus composed
of members of a community. A considerable number of part
songs and choruses will be read by the class.

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.

STORY TELLING.
1. (a) Origin and History of Story Telling.—Work of Scald, Gleeman
Rhapsodist and Minstrel—Folk culture—Prior to Book-Culture.
The world's great story books were handed down by word of mouth
—the growth of ages—Siegfried, Beowulf, Hiawatha, Homer's Iliad
and Odyssey—King Arthur, Bible Stories, Folk and Fairy Stories,
Uncle Remus—Stories from History and Modern Life.
(b) Use of the Story.—In grades, high school, kindergarten, library,
Sunday school, play-ground, home. The form and expression
of the spirit—retelling dramatization. Culture of ear and tongue—
sensuous beauty of speech—composition that comes from heart and
imagination—We write as we speak—The larger results—Soul—Personality.
(c) How to Tell a Story.—Psychic laws—Imagination—Vivid pictures—See
clearly—Feeling—Effect on voice and manner—Feel deeply
—The dynamic in life. Story teller creates anew the story each time.
Story telling not reading, reciting or acting, but a creative process.
A field of its own—is one with all art expressions. Speaker and audience
become one mind and heart. The value of health—effect of social
songs and folk-games on the story telling. A lost art revived.—The
most profound method of teaching, and the most natural and universal
means of entertaining. Story telling has in it something for every
part of education.
Daily, 10:30 to 11:30. Cabell Hall, Room 8. Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, Professor Wyche. Law Building, Room 2. 4:30. Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday, twilight meeting, 7:20.
Note.—An informal gathering for the purpose of singing and telling
stories will be held at twilight on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
evenings, on Rotunda or Cabell Hall steps. The instructor will
tell the stories of Ulysses, King Arthur, Siegfried, Beowulf, Hiawatha,
Uncle Remus, Folk Stories, Fairy Stories, the Story of St. Francis,
George Washington, after which other story tellers will appear on the
program.
The National Story Tellers' League of America has plans on foot
to hold here during this session of the Summer School its eighth annual
meeting, to which all local leagues are invited to send representatives.
WRITING.
1. Muscular Movement Penmanship.—The teaching of rapid easy
business writing is dependent on the proper training of the large tireless
muscles of the forearm instead of the incapable little muscles of
the fingers. The Palmer Method of Business Writing, which will be
used in this course, provides explicit instructions in muscular movement
writing and its application to the actual writing of letters and
words. The work will be graded to meet the needs of teachers of all
grades.
Daily, Sections I, II, and III. Mr. Locker. Hours and place to be
arranged.
Certificate Credit.—Professional Grammer Grade Certificate, Professional
Primary Grade Certificate.
