ART.
The School of Art was founded a number of years ago under the
direction and personal instruction of the famous illustrator and
alumnus of the University of Virginia, Mr. F. Graham Cootes and
for five summers was successfully conducted by him in conjunction
with such artists as R. S. Bredin, George Bellows, W. Scott and
Duncan Smith. It will open its ninth session this summer. The
classes as usual 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 illustrations, 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. These exhibitions have been features
of the Summer School, and have always attracted wide interest
and much favorable comment. The work compares favorably
with that of far larger Schools of Art. No other school of art
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 1916-17 is offered by the New York School of
Fine and Applied Art (formerly "Chase's") to the student doing the
best all around work. Miss Emily Hall, of Richmond, was the winner
of this scholarship last summer. A prize will be awarded for
the best painting made during the term.
The term is that of the Summer School, six weeks, June 20 to August
3.
Rates: $10 per month, half day; $15 per month, full day; $15 per
term (6 weeks) half day; $20 per term (6 weeks) full day.
An initiation fee of $2 will be required of new students.
A full line of art materials will be for sale at the studio.
For further particulars address Mr. Duncan Smith, instructor and
director, 42 Washington Square, New York.
Daily, Peabody Hall, Room 5, Mr. Smith.
ASTRONOMY

regular session of Astronomy B1, while course sB2 covers that taken
up in the winter term. In the summer session of 1916, course sB1
will again be given and also course sB3 which is parallel to the
spring term of Astronomy B1.
Astronomy is taught by text-books, lectures, problems, and observational
exercise. A knowledge of plane trigonometry is prerequisite.

forth on page 18, may, upon successful completion of the two courses
outlined 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,
zöology 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. 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—High School 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 for course 3.
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 familar 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 High School Grade.

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
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.

COMMERCIAL COURSES
1. Bookkeeping.—This course is outlined to give the student a good
working knowledge of the principles and methods of modern bookkeeping
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 Gregg system
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
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
that come up for solution in every day business life. Common and
decimal fractions, bills, and statements, all the divisions of percentage,
such as interest, discount, taxes and banking, equation of
accounts, and problems dealing with partnerships and corporations
together with many practical examples are taken up and treated
thoroughly. Accuracy and systematic methods are stressed throughout.
Daily, 9:30 to 10:30. Cabell Hall, Room 4. Professor Webb.
5. Business Law.—The elementary principles of law relating to contracts,
sales, negotiable instruments, common carriers, agency, partnership,

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
papers required. Weekly personal conferences will be held at hours
to be appointed.

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

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
schools, the relation of grammar to language work, and grammar
as a record of usage rather than a law of usage.
