PREPARATION FOR STATE EXAMINATION FOR FIRST
AND SECOND GRADE CERTIFICATES

The State Examinations will be held at the Summer School July
25, 26, 1918. Heretofore these courses have been offered at the University,
but last year a much better arrangement was made with Supt.
Johnson and the Charlottesville School Board, whereby the classes
were held in Midway School building. The advantages of this plan
are:

1. The work is given in one building, the classes are divided into
sections small enough for drill, the periods are forty-five minutes
each, and the Topical Outlines furnished by the Department are
strictly followed and thus a thorough review guaranteed.

2. A vacation school will be in daily session in the building affording
an excellent opportunity for observation work in all the
grades, and special demonstration work in primary grades will be
given.

3. The afternoons and evenings will be open for extra work in
special subjects and for the general lectures and entertainments which
are such attractive and valuable features of the University Summer
School.

4. Excellent boarding accommodations at very reasonable rates
may be obtained in the vicinity of Midway School building, thus relieving
the congestion at the University and reducing somewhat the
cost of living. All teachers desiring to secure accommodations in
Charlottesville should apply to Dr. J. G. Johnson, Charlottesville, Va.

5. Those registering for this course will be entitled to all the privileges
of the Summer School without additional cost. The Registration
fee for Virginia teachers is $1.50 for the term of six weeks.
