ANNOUNCEMENTS

This is only a preliminary announcement. The faculty and courses
are not yet completed. There will be additions to both. A complete
catalogue will be issued giving full information. If interested,
write at once for one.

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 teachers of any grade who wish to procure professional work.

LOCATION.—Charlottesville, the seat of the University of Virginia,
is in a picturesque and healthful situation among the foot-hills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is at the junction of two great
lines of railway, the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Southern, and is
thus of easy access from every part of the country. The sanitary arrangements
of the University are excellent. The climate is invigorating,
healthful, and free from malarial conditions, the average elevation
of the surrounding country being about six hundred and fifty
feet above sea level; the water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity
from a mountain reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and
sewers is complete. The average monthly mean temperature from
1901 to 1911, taken from the records of the weather station at the
University Observatory, was: June, 71.4; July, 76.8. Summer rates
are given by the railroads to this point. There are three golf links,
a well-conducted country club and many other attractions for summer
visitors.

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
exceptionally interesting. 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.

ENTERTAINMENTS, AND LECTURES.—A Musical Festival
and other entertainments will be announced during the session of
the Summer School. The Clifford B. Devereux Company will give
three plays. 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.

RAILWAY RATES.—At the present time on account of war
conditions and the new problems of railroad administration, no
definite announcement about railroad rates can be made. However,
those attending should be sure to inquire of their local ticket agent,
a few days before leaving for Charlottesville, about special rates, as
they have been tentatively promised.

BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $5.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upward, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $5.00 to $6.00 per week. Most of the boarding
houses immediately adjoin the University grounds.

One hundred single furnished rooms and one hundred and twenty-five
furnished double rooms in the University dormitories will be reserved
in the order of application. The price will be $5.00 for the
full term of six weeks for a single room, and $8.00 for a double
room. Every double room must be occupied by two persons. No
reduction will be made for parts of a term. Applications for rooms
must be accompanied with the full amount of the fee, which 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 15th. Roomers must provide themselves
with necessary bed clothes, towels, etc. Rooms will be in
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, conducted by Mr. S. I. Carter, will be
open for summer students and will provide table board for three
hundred and fifty persons at the very low price of $5.00 for a single
week. $18.00 a month or $4.50 per week, if paid weekly, or $25.00
for the session of forty-one days. A 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. For list of boarding houses, rates, etc., see full catalogue,
or write to Miss Bertha Deane, Secretary, University, Virginia.

FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A single registration
fee of fifteen 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 permitted
to take more than three advanced courses or six elementary
courses without special permission in writing from the Director.

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 license
issued in this State. In this case only State certificates from
other states issued by a State Superintendent or a State Board of
Examiners, and approved in advance by the Department of Public
Instruction of Virginia, 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.

FEES FOR VIRGINIA TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.—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. To meet local expenses the State
Board of Education has fixed a registration fee of $1.50 for a six
weeks' term for all of the Summer Schools of the State, and this fee
will be charged here. 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 for 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-Virignia students.
Teachers whose residence is in Virginia but who are teaching
outside of Virginia will be charged the same fee as non-Virginians.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.—Every teacher who is applying for a
Virginia State Teachers' Summer School Professional Certificate of
any kind should bring with her and before registering have whatever
certificate she holds and which she desires to use as a basis of entrance
on such professional work, approved by a representative of
the Department of Public Instruction who will be present for that
purpose.

VIRGINIA STATE CERTIFICATES.

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

The Elementary Professional Certificate—For Primary and Grammar
Grades.

The Special Certificate—For High School Teachers.

The Collegiate Certificate—For High School Teachers.

The Collegiate Professional Certificate—For High School Teachers.

Courses will also be offered to meet the requirements of the Department
of Public Instruction for High School graduates, who wish
to obtain certificates.

There will also be courses preparing for the State Examinations
for first and second grade certificates. A Special Institute will be
held at Midway School Building for those preparing for the State
Examinations for first and second grade certificates. Observation
work will be provided by the vacation school held in the same building.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Complete catalogue of the Summer School will only be sent to
those who are sufficiently interested in receiving one to write for it.
If you contemplate attending any Summer School, you should get
a copy of the complete announcement of the University of Virginia
Summer School before making a final decision. Your name and address
on a postal card, addressed to Miss Bertha Deane, Secretary,
will insure your receiving one promptly.
