Director Moritz
Offers Welcome to
Summer Students
Greetings to Summer Session
Students:
The University of Nebraska
extends to you its most cordial
welcome. It assures you that
every effort will be made to
make your stay here both
pleasant and profitable and
that all facilities for study and
research at its command will
be placed at your disposal.
In the courses of instruction
and special features arranged
for the summer term the Uni
versity has recognized the chal
lenge the new day is making
upon education and has con
structed its program to meet
this challenge. It has been said
frequently of late by our lead
ers of thought that the task of
the twentieth century is the de
velopment of the social sciences
as the task of the nineteenth
was the development of the
physicial sciences. Particularly
significant in this connection
wi! be the three day All-State
Educational Conference whose
theme will be the place of the
social sciences in the public
school curriculum.
A sincere attempt has been
made to fit the entire curricul
lum to the needs of the stu
dents, to offer work in all the
various branches of study, both
liberal and professional, which
they require. It is our earnest
wish that you find what you are
looking for and that you go
away enriched f.nru the sum
mer's experiences.
The summer Nebraskan will
be published twice weekly and
will carry all official announce
ments of importance to the stu
dent body.

Director of the Summer
Session.
TEACHER-LIBRARIAN
COURSE IS OFFERED
Selection of Books and
Reference Work to
Be Discussed,
A teacher-librarian's course is
offered in the summer session of
Teachers College on the organiza
tion, administration and techniques
of the' high school library. School
library objectives, book selection,
classification, cataloging, housing
and equipping the library, refer
ence work, and teaching the use of
the library will be discussed with
particular interest given to the

Since the school library is a
twentieth century development in
education, the high school teacher,
especially the teacher of English,
should become "library conscious"
of its service.

NS
Raise in Secondary School
Standards May Increase
Graduate Work.
The raise in standards for sec
ondary schools recently voted by
North Central Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools will
probably have a tendency to start
teachers in graduate work so as to
be able to fulfill the requirements
when the measure becomes effec
tive .according to R. D. Moritz, di
rector of the university summer
school.
Dr. Moritz declined Thursday to
make an advance estimate of the
registration figures, but stated he
anticipated no falling off in either
the graduate or undergraduate
fields.
Registration Opens Friday.
Registration for the fortieth an
nual summer session opens Friday
morning at 8 o'clock in the univer
sity coliseum, which will draw stu
dents from all over Nebraska and
nearby states for the dual six and
nine weeks periods. Registration
closes Saturday at noon and class
es will begin Monday morning at
7 o'clock.
Following the plan used during
the past three summers the term
will combine both long and short
sessions, the first ending on Aug.
3 and the second on July 20. The
courses will be offered in thirty
two departments during the long
session while twenty-two depart
ments will offer work during the
short term. Students may take
work in both sessions, completing
the work in certain six weeks
courses by extension for an addi
tional hour of credit
Visiting Instructors.
The regular teaching staff of
the university for the summer ses
sion will be supplemented this year
by eight visiting instructors who
will offer courses in specialized
fields or supplemented regular
work by special lecture.
Greatest stress during the sum
mer will be placed on courses in ed
ucation since a large part of the
enrollment will be made up of
teachers out in the field returning
for both graduate and undergrad
uate work. The training school of
Teachers College will be in oper
ation during the session and will
provide practice teaching oppor
tunities. In addition the laboratory school
of the Elementary Education De
partment where newer theories
and practices are tried out and
evaluated will be open during the
summer. Included will be a num.
ery, grades I, III, IV, and VI; a
reading clinic, and a rural school.
A Course for the tpflrhr-U.
brarian is also being' offered dur.
ing this summer session.
Facilities Are at
Disposal of Summer
Students- Burnett
Planned to meet the con
stantly changing require
ments In the field of educa
tion, the University of Ne
braska summer session for
which registration started to
day affords an excellent op
portunity for educational ad
vancement. Supplementing our regular
faculty, we have added about
thirty men and women of
equal caliber who will give
students the benefit of their
experience. All the regular
facilities of our libraries,
laboratories, and classroom
buildings are at the disposal
of our summer students.
I hope that the young men
and young women who have
come to the University of Ne
braska for this summer ses
sion will take advantage of
these facilities and will leave
the campus at the end of the
session better qualified to
meet their several problem.
E. A. Burnett, Chancellor.
