SUMMER QUARTER.

For the first time in its history the Summer School will this year
continue for two terms; the first term beginning June 23rd and ending
August 2nd, and the second term beginning August 4th and
ending September 6th, making a full Summer Quarter. Students
may enter for either one or both terms, the work of each term being
arranged as a complete unit in itself. In each term all of the
courses, leading to the elementary professional certificate, will be
offered. Students may secure this certificate by attending the Summer
School for three sessions of six weeks each, but those students
who prefer to attend a summer session two quarters of twelve weeks
in separate summers in lieu of the courses for three years, as outlined,
may do so provided they secure teaching experience of, at
least, seven months between the two summers. The work for the
first summer of this arrangement will embrace the work of the first
year of the three years' course, as outlined, plus six weeks of additional,
related work and the work of the second summer will include
the outlined courses required for the second and third summers
of the regular three year course. Teachers who remain for
the second term, which will continue five weeks with lectures six

times a week, can do so at less expense than during the first
term.

The following is the regulation of the State Board of Education
in regard to elementary professional certificates. The elementary
professional certificate is issued to applicants who complete one
year of professional work at a standard normal school, based on a
standard high school course or its equivalent, or who completed
work required in summer courses at some university, college, or
normal school, the summer courses of which are approved by the
State Board of Education.
