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 teacher 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.

A GROUP BEFORE ASSEMBLY HOUR, 1914.

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
and Old Point Comfort (three hours ride to each) should
make a visit to either exceptionally interesting. Saturdays
will be reserved for these excursions. On designated
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. The
Coburn Players will present three plays: The Yellow
Jacket, an Imaginary Sick Man, and Macbeth. The Clifford
B. Devereux Company will give three plays: She
Stoops to Conquer, As You Like It, and a Modern Drama.
The Ernest Gamble Concert Party will give one recital;
Jennie Dufau, one recital; and negotiations are pending
for a number of other high class attractions. The whole
course includes about twenty numbers and the price of a
season ticket is $2.50 making the cost about the same
as moving pictures. Besides there will be moving pictures
regularly in the New Education Building.

Rural Life Week.—The time between July 5th and
10th will be devoted to the study of rural life problems
in general, and the rural church in particular. A
special effort will be made to secure a large attendance
of country ministers and laymen, and distinguished speakers
from all sections of the United States will participate
in the Conferences.

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 which have been granted
by the Southern Passenger Association on a basis of approximately
three cents a mile plus 25 cents for the
round trip. Tickets will be on sale June 20, 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 26, 27, and 28, with privilege of extension of final
limit to September 30th.

A committee will meet all incoming trains night and
day, from June 21nd 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. A committee of ladies from
the Y. W. C. A. will assist in welcoming teachers attending
for the first time.

A Young Women's Christian Association Club, open
to every woman in the Summer School, is organized
for the purpose of promoting a pleasant social atmosphere,
giving an opportunity for social service and religious

development, and for the study of methods in
club work and church work. The activities include "stunt
parties," camp breakfasts, Camp Fire Girls demonstrations,
weekly meetings on religious and social questions and
special lectures on rural life questions. A secretary devotes
her entire time to the work and has charge of the
club headquarters at Madison Hall.

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 $5.50 per week. Many of the boarding houses immediately
adjoin the University grounds.

One hundred single rooms and one hundred and twenty-five
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 terms of six
weeks for a single room, and $8.00 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. The amount of the fee will be returned for good
reason and room released if application is made before
June 10th. 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
22nd. Each room is lighted by electricity, has stationary
wash stand and running water and will contain one bed,
one mattress, one pillow, one chiffonier, one table, one
rocking chair, one straight chair. Double rooms will be
furnished with two single beds complete, unless a double
bed is especially desired; one chiffonier, except where
there are more than two in room; one rocking chair or
one morris chair and two single chairs. 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 Mrs. M. P.
Harris, an experienced matron and chaperone. Some
members of the faculty will be located in each set of dormitories.
No cooking allowed in rooms. 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,
will be open for summer students and will provide
table board for three hundred and fifty persons at the
very low price of $4.00 a week, $16.50 a month or $25.00
for the session of forty-six days. The University Commons
will be managed this year by Mr. Charles Jaimes, a
caterer and restaurateur of wide experience. A Restaurant
a la Carte and lunch counter will be run in connection
with the Commons, open from 9:30 A. M. to 11
P. M.

Application for dormitory rooms should be sent
promptly, with retaining fee.

Fees for Non-Virginia Students.—A single registration
fee of twelve dollars will be charged each
teacher who registers from outside of Virginia. This fee
will entitle the student to enter any of the courses outlined
in the catalogue (except a few special courses which
are so designated). No student, however, will be allowed
to take more than three advanced courses or six elementary

courses without special permission in writing from
the Director.

Fees for Virginia Teachers.—Tuition will be entirely
free to all Virginia teachers in all the regular courses,
both elementary and advanced, leading to the professional
and first grade certificates. There are a few special
courses offered to meet certain demands but not
necessary for certificate credit, for which fees will be
charged to all who take them. The fee attached to each
is designated in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory
courses will also be charged all students who register in
them.

Students from Virginia who are not teachers or preparing
to teach next session will be charged the same
tuition as non-Virginia students.

Credits—Virginia State Certificates

Note.—Teachers outside of Virginia are not limited in
the choice of their courses to the conditions under which
Virginia certificates are issued, unless they desire to
teach in Virginia and apply for a certificate issued in
this State. In this case only State certificates from other
States will be recognized as a proper basis for professional
work.

Teachers from other States will receive credit for all
work done at the University Summer School in accordance
with the certificate regulations of those States from
which they come.

The Virginia certificates with which the courses of
study at the University Summer School are immediately
concerned are the following:

The Summer School Professional Certificate—College
Grade.

The Summer School Professional Certificate Advanced
Grade.

The Summer School Professional Certificate—Grammar
Grade.

The Summer School Professional Certificate—Primary
Grade.

College Credit.—Quite a large number of courses
are offered for college credit. Students who satisfy entrance
requirements will not only receive credit at the
University of Virginia for college courses taken in the
Summer School, but the summer school work is recognized
by standard colleges everywhere, so that students
have no difficulty in securing transfer of credits.

The Summer School News is a bi-weekly college newspaper,
edited and managed by students of the University
and of the Summer School. It contains all official and
student organization announcements, campus news and
notes, editorial comment, etc. Its object is to acquaint
individuals with the life of the whole student body, and
to unify the interests of all. Four monthly issues, beginning
with February, will be printed and circulated in
addition to the twelve regular numbers. The subscription
price for the whole sixteen issues is the moderate
sum of twenty-five cents. Subscriptions should be sent
to the Business Manager, Summer School News, University,
Virginia.

For complete catalogue and any further information
application should be made to the Director of the Summer
School.
