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.
BIOLOGY
The courses in biology have been organized with two ends in view.
First, to give teachers adequate training to carry courses in botany,
zoölogy and biology in their public school work and to give
them instruction that will supplement their work in physiology, hygiene
and agriculture.
Second, to enable premedical students to fulfill the medical entrance
requirements as prescribed by the American Medical Association
in June 1913.
1. 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.
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 for teachers $1.00, for premedical students and for
those seeking University credit $10.00, which fee includes the registration
fee.
Daily, 8:30 to 9:30; Laboratory 9:30 to 11:30; Laboratory for premedical
students and University credit students 11:30 to 12:30. Professor
Kepner and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
2. Zoology.—This course is outlined primarily to give the student
a knowledge of how animals live, grow and propagate themselves,
and of their structure. The teacher completing this work will be
prepared to place an introductory course of Zoölogy 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 will be required. Laboratory fee for teachers $1.00,
for premedical students and for those seeking University credit
$10.00, which fee includes the registration fee.
Daily, 2:30 to 3:30; Laboratory 3:30 to 5:30. Professor Kepner
and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell Hall, Room 12.
Certificate Credit.—Summer School Professional Certificate Advanced
Grade—Biology, 1 and 2; Summer School Professional Certificate—College
Grade—Biology 1 and 2.
University Credit.—Students who complete the work of either of
these courses, together with at least thirty additional laboratory
periods in experimental work, will be given credit for a term's work
in a B1 course of biology.
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
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 College 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.

composition of pure and impure air; the chemistry of combustion;
the composition of cleansing agents, their reactions with "hard"
water, their effects on fabrics, etc.; the chemistry of disinfectants;
the composition of foods and the changes they undergo when cooked;
the chemistry of fermentation and decay; the adulteration and preservation
of food. The laboratory work will consume about two
hours a day.

Certificate—College Grade—Chemistry 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
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
those subjects. 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
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.

and moods, the accusative and infinitive, relative and conditional
sentences, uses of the subjunctive; and the main laws of indirect discourse.
These grammatical principles will be illustrated in systematic
exercises in translating easy detached sentences into Latin;
translation into English of easy Latin prose preparatory to Cæsar
will also be required.

Certificate—College Grade—Latin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
COMMERCIAL COURSES
1. Bookkeeping.—This course is outlined to give the student a
good working knowledge of the principles and methods of modern
bookkeeping in as short a time as is consistent with thoroughness.
Both Single and Double Entry books are studied and written up in
a practical and systematic manner. Due attention is given to statements,
Trial Balances, Balance Sheets, Opening and Closing Books.
A modern text is used as a basis, supplemented by lectures on important
points. The instruction is to a great extent individual; therefore,
perfect classification can be secured by those who have had
some of the subject as well as by those who are taking it up for
the first time. While it is impossible to complete the subject in this
brief time, the student is carried far enough to make it possible to
continue the study to excellent advantage outside of school and without
the personal aid of an instructor.
Daily, 8:30 to 9:30. Cabell Hall, Room 4. Professor Webb.
2. Shorthand.—This course covers the entire manual of one of the
leading systems of phonography—a system which has won its permanent
place in High Schools and Commercial Colleges because it
possesses to a greater extent than any other system the three fundamental
essentials: Simplicity, Legibility and Speed. The alphabet is
taken up and mastered in logically arranged sections. Sentence writing
is introduced in the first lesson; therefore, when this text is completed,
the student not only has learned the rules and principles by
which every word in the language is written, but has had considerable
experience in writing. Those who finish this course properly
should be able, with additional speed practice on their part, to
do office work.
Daily, 2:30 to 3:30. Cabell Hall, Room 4. Professor Webb.
3. Typewriting.—The Touch System of Typewriting is used. Careful
attention is paid to technique, and the methods selected will yield
the best results with the least expenditure of energy. Due attention
is devoted to the use and care of the machine, fingering, etc. The

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 basi
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.

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. Law Building,
Room 2.
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
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

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 Shearin. Law Building,

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.

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.

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 Hiner. Law Building, Room 1.
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
grammar as a record of usage rather than a law of usage.

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
—.
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 requirment 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
in the methods of presenting public school music. It gives the
teacher as much freedom in knowledge of methods and materials 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

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, 8:30 to 11:30. Sections I, II, and III. Mr. Locker. Law
