above, obtain credit for Astronomy B1, by finishing the remainder
of the work during the regular university session or in the
session of the following summer.
BIOLOGY
The courses in biology have been organized with two ends in view:
First, to give teachers adequate training to carry courses in botany,
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. It is to be noted here all premedical students
are required to take course 3 with their course in either Botany or
Zoölogy.
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.
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 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.
3. Experimental Biology.—This course consists of a series of laboratory
experiments, on plants and animals, supplemented with a
limited number of explanatory lectures. Its object, on one hand, is
to give teachers of both Botany and Zoölogy a series of experiments
that they can use as demonstrations in their class work. On the
other hand it supplements the premedical students' work in either
Botany or Zoölogy by giving them some idea of experimental Biology.
No text-book or laboratory fee required.
Daily, 11:30 to 12:30. Professor Kepner and Mr. Taliaferro. Cabell
Hall, Room 12.
Certificate Credit.—Summer School Professional Certificate Advanced
Grade—Biology, 1, 2, and 3; Summer School Professional Certificate—College
Grade—Biology 1, 2, and 3.
University Credit.—Students who complete the work of courses
1 and 3 will be given credit for one term's work in Botany B1. Those
who complete the work in courses 2 and 3 will be given credit for
one term's work in Zoölogy.
Fee.—Students not registered in either Biology 1 or 2 will be
charged a registration fee of $5.
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 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.

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
matter changes, especially those of daily occurrence.
Daily, 8:30 to 10:30. Professor Bird, and Mr. Carter. West Range
Laboratory.

progress of the student depends to a great extent upon his application
and ability, as the work is almost entirely individual. This is a
subject that can be pursued with the aid of the text to excellent advantage
after an introductory course has been taken. Underwood
typewriters will be used.
Daily, hours to be arranged. Cabell Hall, Room 4. Professor
Webb.
4. Commercial Arithmetic.—This course is outlined to give the
student a thorough working knowledge of those classes of problems

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.
A special art certificate will be given to those who complete the
course here outlined which will certify that the holder is competent
to do supervisors work.
Drawing 1.—For 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.,

Cootes and for many summers was successfully conducted by him
with the help of such artists as George Bellows, Bredin, Scott and
Duncan Smith. It will open its eighth session this summer. As
usual the classes will be two in number, one in the morning from
9:30 to 1 o'clock, and one in the afternoon, in which the pupils
work out of doors from nature. In the morning the pupils draw and
paint from a model in costume, in any medium. The course is designed
for pupils interested in illustration, cartooning, poster-work,
portrait, landscape or decorative painting, and for those who desire
it as an aid in teaching. The Class in Composition meets on Saturday.
At the end of the term an exhibition of the work done by the
students is held in Peabody Hall. The exhibition last summer
was very successful and attracted wide interest and much
favorable comment. The work compared favorably with that of the
large Northern Art Schools. No other art school can advance the
pupil so rapidly as the students have daily criticisms, instead of the
usual one or two a week, and more personal attention and interest
on the part of the instructor than in other art schools. A Scholarship
for 1915-16 is offered by the New York School of Fine and
Applied Art (formerly "Chase's") to the student doing the best all
around work. A prize will be awarded for the best painting made
during the term.
The main term will be that of the Summer School, six weeks,
full day; $15 per term (6 weeks), half day; $20 per term (6 weeks),
full day.

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 transition 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.);
Jovne'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
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
(Ginn & Co.).
Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Myers. Law Building,
Room 2.
3. English Literature.—This course may be outlined as follows:
(1) A study of the principal periods of English Literature through
the life and work of (at least) one of the great writers of each period.
(2) Special lectures on the books set for "Study" (English B)
in the college entrance requirements, and also on a few of the most
important set for "Reading" (English A). (3) A brief course in poetics
including the ballad, sonnet, ode, dirge, epic, and romance
forms; with the study of illustrative selections. Parallel reading and
written reports. In this course the value of oral interpretation of
literature will be emphasized, and as much interpretative reading
will be done as time will permit. Suggestions for oral work in High
School English Literature, and a number of outlines for written
work will be given.
Text-Books.—Manly's English Poetry (Ginn and Co.); Metcalf's
(B. F. Johnson and Co.) or any other good history of English Literature;
and texts of classics set for study in college entrance requirements.
Daily, 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Reade, Law Building, Room 2.
4. American Literature.—This course is a study of the lives and
writings of the principal authors from Washington Irving to Mark
Twain. It will consider the various aspects of American life as they
have found expression in literature. Special attention will be given
to the literature of New England.
Text-Books.—Metcalf's American Literature (B. F. Johnson & Co.);
Page's Chief American Poets (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.).
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Metcalf. Law Building,
Room 1.
5. American Literature.—B. This course will be a survey of the
whole field of American literature not by authors but by types.
There are eleven of these and the question that we shall try to answer
will be: What is the best that our country has done in (1) the
epic, (2) the drama, (3) the ballad, (4) the lyric, (5) history, (6)
biography, (7) the essay, (8) the oration, (9) the letter, (10) the
short story, and (11) the novel? The distinctive contributions of
the different sections of the United States will be appraised and the
effort made to find out what Americanism in literature means. The
opinion of noted foreign critics will be consulted wherever accessible.
Text-Books.—A. W. Long's American Poems (American Book Company);
G. R. Carpenter's American Prose (The Macmillan Company).
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Smith. Law Building, Room 2.
6. Shakespeare.—The work of this course embraces a critical study
of the development of Shakespeare's mind and art. Lectures on
fifteen plays best representing his work at different periods will be
given. 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. Law Building,
Room 1.
7. Tennyson and Browning.—A careful study of representative
poems of Tennyson and Browning. Lectures and interpretative readings
will make clear the elements of their art and its relation to the
important movements of the nineteenth century. Parallel reading,
references, and written reports.
Text-Books.—The Cambridge or Globe edition of Tennyson's
Poems and Browning's Poems (Houghton, Mifflin & Co. and Macmillan
Co.).
Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Metcalf. Law Building,
Room 2.
8. Advanced Composition: Narration and Exposition.—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 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.
Text-Books.—Esenwein's Writing the Short-Story (Hinds, Noble, &
Eldridge); Canby's English Composition in Theory and Practice (Macmillan);
specimens of stories and essays from the best current magazines.
Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Myers. Law Building,
Room 1.
9. The Books of the New Testament.—When you say "Hamlet" or
"Les Misérables" or "Evangeline" or "David Copperfield" the hearer
not only recognizes the name but recalls the distinctive contents. He
has read these works as wholes, has thought of them as wholes, and
remembers them as wholes. But try the same test with "Mark" or
"Ephesians" or "Colossians" or "First Thessalonians." Could you
give as clear an outline of the contents of any one of these as of
any one of the others? Yet you have read them and heard them
read far more frequently. The difference is that you have read these
Bible books and heard them read by piecemeal, "here a little and
there a little;" and the sixty-six books of the Bible are the only
pieces of world literature that we approach in this hop-skip-and-jump
way.
In this course we are going (1) to read each one of the books of
the New Testament as far as possible at a sitting, (2) to find its
central or nuclear thought, (3) to view it as if it were all of the
New Testament that had come down to us, and (4) to remember
that the writers wrote not because they had to say something but because
they had something to say.
Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Smith. Assembly Room,
Cabell Hall.
10. Oral Expression.—In view of the larger requirements of the
English course of study of today, the need of thorough training in
the art of expression becomes a matter of vital interest to teachers
of literature. Instruction in elocution is twofold in its nature;
from an otherwise good rendition of the masterpieces of literature;
while on its positive side it endeavors to bring out individual talent
and to inspire such sympathy with the text as may result in a simple,
natural and effective reading. Above all things, the aim of any course
in public speaking should be to develop the personality of the student,
not to make him a mere imitator.
The lessons will be divided into two parts: First, a lecture on
some phase of the subject with illustrative readings, followed by individual
and class exercises bearing upon the matter under discussion.
Assignments will be made each day of selections to be studied
which will be read or recited by members of the class. This will
be followed by criticisms by the instructor.
The lectures will deal with such subjects as thought-reading, emphasis,
breaking, articulation, phonetics, expression, reading of poetry,
quality, pitch, force, time, the tunes of speech, gesture, dialogue,
dramatic reading, and impersonation.
Students who intend to take the work in American and English
Literature are especially urged to avail themselves of the opportunity
offered by this course.
Daily from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Reade. Law Building, Room 3.
Text-Books.—Shoemaker's Practical Elocution. The following are
recommended for reference: Murdoch-Russell's Vocal Culture; Kofler's
Art of Breaking; Lanier's Science of English Verse.
11. Elementary Language.—This course is planned to give teachers
of the elementary schools a brief, concentrated study of the essentials
of matter and method for the language work of all grades below
the sixth. 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; importance of oral language
training; types of oral lessons; language work based upon nature
study, geography, literature, history, pictures, games, and hand work,
giving the various topics of the course of study re-impression through
language expression, while providing a reasonable basis for language
itself.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Miss Brooks and Miss London. Law
Building, Room 3.
12. 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 elementary
as a record of usage rather than a law of usage.
Text-Books.—Emerson and Bender's Modern English, Book II.
Section I, daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Law Building, Room 3; Section
II, daily from 12:15 to 1:15; Law Building, Room 3. Mr. Shewmake.

grammar will be formed for those teachers who need drill for the
State Examinations. The work of this class will be based on the outline
furnished by the Department of Education. Students preparing
for the State Examinations are advised to take this course rather than
English 9 and 10.

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, allowing a graduate to teach music in
the public schools of Virginia, it is required that the candidate shall
have attended two summer sessions. Detailed information in regard
to home study during the academic year may be had on application
to Professor Fillmore.
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 requirement is already in force in several states.
This makes a special course of music for grade teachers an actual
necessity.
