ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted for
teachers and students in high schools, academies and colleges and
for those who desire professional training for primary and grammar
grade work. It also offers many courses for college credit, and
others to meet the needs of students preparing for college entrance
or who have conditions to absolve. It takes as its peculiar province,
not the ordinary summer institute, but the solid and
substantial training of high school teachers, college teachers,
college students, and teachers who either have professional
or 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. In addition to courses
for high school teachers, the demand for courses for primary and
grammar grade teachers is fully met.
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
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
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 a 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 interesting topics by prominent speakers invited
for this purpose, and a brief prayer and song service. 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 service held here during the summer has been more attractive
or more appreciated than what has sometimes been called
the Sunset Service. Holding this service at this hour 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 when held in the chapel
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. When
the weather permits the service is held out of doors on the north
steps of the Rotunda.
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.
No fee will be charged 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
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
Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray
Caverns; the Grottoes of the Shenandoah; 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.
A Musical Festival and other entertainments will be announced
during the session of the Summer School.
FOURTH OF JULY PAGEANT.—Each year an elaborate pageant
is given in connection with the Fourth of July Celebration.
Plans are already decided upon and preparation begun for the most
extensive celebration this year which has ever been held.
RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 14th and July
19th 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. 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 there was a wide-spread demand
for copies. Many similar conferences have been organized as the result
of this one.
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 some time in
advance to the local agent for reduced rates. At a meeting of the
the individual lines announced that they would authorize fares for
the University Summer School on a basis of approximately three
cents a mile plus 25 for the round trip. 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 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th,
29th, 30th.
The Southern Railway Company, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, and
all railways within this territory will co-operate in the sale of these
reduced rate tickets. Application has also been made to the Trans-Continental
Passenger Association for similar rates, from the territory
west of the Mississippi, and teachers coming from the western
states should write to the Director of the Summer School for
instructions.
In Virginia reduced rate tickets will be on sale at all railroad stations.
Announcement of dates will be made later by the Department
of Public Instruction. Application has been made to have
them correspond with the above.
A committee will meet all incoming trains night and day, from
June 23rd to July 1st, to assist teachers in finding boarding places,
to attend to baggage and to render any other service needed. On
arriving teachers should inquire at the station for members of the
committee who will wear suitable badges.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $4.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $4.50 to $5.00 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 $5.00 for the
full term of six weeks for a single room, and $8.00 for a room which

Ranges will be reserved exclusively for ladies and will be under
the charge of an experienced matron and chaperone. Some members
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
arrangement a very desirable one and the rooms are eagerly sought.

in registration. The Summer School lecture rooms are for the
most part restricted to five buildings—Cabell Hall, Rouss Physical
Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory, Rotunda and the Law Building.
REGISTRATION.—Tuesday, June 24th, 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 25th
will be permitted to attend classes and register as promptly as possible
at other hours. The Registrar's office, located in the southeast
rooms of the Rotunda, will be open continuously June 24th,
25th, and 26th from 8:30 a. m. until 6:30 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 Wednesday, July 2nd, except a certificate of attendance.
Students preparing to stand the examination for teachers'
certificates held at this place by the State Department of Public Instruction,
July 30th and 31st and Aug. 1st should enter twenty days
prior to July 30th.
Promptly at 9:30 Tuesday morning, June 24th, all applicants
for registration will assemble in Cabell Hall for instructions in regard
to filling out their cards, the location of lecture rooms, and for
consultation with members of the faculty in regard to the courses of
study they desire to pursue, or any other matters upon which information
is desired.
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,
after it has been filled out, 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
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 cards, which must be signed by the Registrar and the
Bursar to be valid.

BOARDING HOUSES.
The Summer School is in no way responsible for private boarding
houses, but the management has prepared a list of forty-five or
fifty which will accommodate students at rates ranging from $4 a
week to $6 or $7, according to the accommodations desired. At
these rates two or more teachers are generally expected to occupy
the same room.
All rooms will be inspected by the local manager, who will take
pleasure in making reservations for those who desire him to do so.
In writing, teachers should state clearly what sort of accommodations
they desire—the rates they are willing to pay, and the length
of time they expect to remain.
Address all inquiries about boarding places to Mr. N. T. McManaway,
Local Manager, University, Va.
