PRICE 3 CENTS 1 :sf : j r fe te SUMMER SESSION Attractive Courses Will be Offer ed. Excursion to St. Louis. f RAMP! TlSJlniPRtfAT I Elaborato plans have been brought to perfection for making the next sum mer session the greatest and most suc cessful ever held, and a Btrong effort will bo made to put It on Its feet as a permanent and material affair. It is expected to bo particularly practical ' and helpful to superintendents, princi pals, grade and high school teachers and University students. Attention is called to unusual numbers of heads of departments who offer instruction and to the number and variety of courses. Tho list of the heads of departments that we note is Drs. Sherman, Bessy, Davis, Ward, Luckey, and Professors Barber, Caldwell, Fossler, Richards, Lyon, Ross, Wyer, Smith and French. Tho other members of the faculty are Professor Hodgman, Miss Conklln, Pro fessor Grummann, Professor Dann, Prorofessor Candy, Dr. Clements, Pro fessor Moritz, Dr. Dales, Inspoctor, Crabtree, Miss Bouton, Professor Per singer, Professor Stuff, Miss Howell and Professor Brown. One of tho great features of the ses sion will be an excursion to St. Louis. A special University of Nebraska train for tho faculty and students of the Summer Session will leave for St. Louis on Saturday, Juno 25th, and return Saturday, July 2d. This train which will fly the colors of the University, wnl consist of day coaches and tour ist and standard Pullman sleepers. Tho University has secured, near tho ex position grounds hotel accommodations at onco comfortable and very Inexpen sive. To study special exhibits, such as the Industrial, educational, history and art, parties conducted by Universi ty professors will bo organized, thus affording teachers and students an un usual opportunity seeing tho exposi tion. That ample accommodations may bo provided, all persons who ex pect to Join tho excursion are request ed to notify the direction of the sum mer session at the earliest possible date. To insure tho comfort of those who join tho excursion, the University wfjl take special pains. Tho director and registrar will personally attend to the business details of the trip. Many teachers have already signified their Intontlon to go. Tho privilege of this excursion is open only to students registered in the summer session, and to members of the facuflty and their families. Should there be room others may be admitted, but at an advanced price. That this excursion may not en- "CTbach upon tho regular work of the session, classes will meet one more day . each week than they otherwise would'. Libraries, laboratories and workshops will, howovor, bo kept open during tho week of tho excursion for those who remain, for whom work will be' planned. An entirely new and strong feature will be the school of superintendence. The romarkablo success of the school for superintendents and principles con ducted In Omaha last summer by Su- perlntendent C. G. Pearso, has con vinced tho department of education that there Is a demand for such a school. With Inadequate training and small, experience men and women every year assume tho duties of superintend ent and principal. They are anxious to learn the methods which years of experience have brought the success ful executive but until laBt year they. found no opportunity In Nebraska. Moreover, experienced superintendents and1 principals also feel tho need of ex changing thought and discussing meth ods. Tho University desires to meet the needs of both classes. To this en.d It hap prepared a course In school man agement, which, If approved by super- Saturday, March 26th, 9 O'clock ARMORY TICKETS 50, Cents j J- 1 J I- -J- "!- J- 5 J J !- J J ! J- J- J !

From wide acquaintance with the needs and conditions of Nebraska schools and successful experience as superintendent at Ashland and Bea trice, no man is better fitted to con duch such a course than Mr. J. W. Crabtree, Inspoctor of tho accredited schools of tho University. The summer session this year will conduct a series of round table confer ences on subjects of special Interest to teachers and prospective teacherB. Pro fessor Barber leadB ono for teachers of Latin; Professor Davis and membera of his department, for teachers of the mathematical branches; Professor rossler for teachers of German; Pro fessor Caldwell for teachers of Ameri can history, and Assistant Professor Condra for teachers of geography. An Interesting and instructive fea ture will be the series of Thursday evening lectures, Illustrated biy the University's new" powerful electric steroopticon. One Juno 1G Professor Lawrence Bruaer speaks on "A Natur alist's Impressions of Argentina," In which country ho spent nearly a year. Tho lecture includes an account of tho climate, surface configuration, plant and animal life, and tho customs of the people. On June 23d Professor Condra speaks on "Industrial Nebras ka." On July 7th Professor Dann talks on "Gothic Architecture." For this lec ture slides have been especially pre pared, showing the great cathedrals of northern France and England, and Il lustrating tho construction and artistic effects of these noble productions of medieval art. On July 14th, Professor Barber speaks on "Ancient Rome as it LookB Today." This locture, which is illustrated by 128 lantern slide views, showing buildings and ruins of ancient Romo as they aro today, gives an Idea of the stability and grandeur of tho Eternal City. It deals with such subjects as the walk acqueducts and sewers, bits of scenery about Rome, the Pantheon, tho Colllseum, triumphal arches, columns, the Imperial forum, the Tulllarlunr In which St. Paul was imprisoned, the catacombs, tombs along the Appian Way.

Wyer gives a course of lectures, open to all, on tho rela tion of tho school to tho library, school libraries,, books and reading, current events and observations on the acquisi tion and effective use of libraries In small Bchools. Teachers will find these lectures very, helpful and practical. Tho modern school curriculum Inade quately trains tho artistic element In the child's nature. Tho annual exhibits of tho Nebraska Art association have awakened tho teachers of Lincoln and tho state to this neglected feature of school work. A courso in Italian art will be given by Professor Dann and free courses in fine arts by Miss Mun dy and Mrs. Brock. On tho evening of Thursday, Juno 1(5, from 8 to 8:30 p. m., an informal re ception will bo given in Memorial hall to the visiting teachers and students.

Ono emphatic point is that all Ne braska railroaas will give ono and one third round trip rates to teachers at tending tho session. Altogothor there aro about forty courses that will bo of fered. This represents many Innova tions and additions that have been made, with tho purpose of bringing our summer school up to a high standard. To this end vigorous efforts will bo de voted, and the coming session will provo whether or not a summer school at tho University of Nebraska can be made a material success. DR. BARBOUR WILL ATTEND.

Dr. Clapp has Issuod a call for all candidates for tho tracktoam to re port at tho track from four to six next Monday. This means that tho real work will now begin, to, last up to the first of Juno. Heretofore tho long dis tance men have been taken out threo times a week, and this will probably continue. Tho others havo been prac ticing as well as possible in the gymna sium, and tho beginning of outdoor work will benefit theso especially. Tho track will be prepared immediately, and it is hoped that work on tho physics building will not begin until so late or elso will bo confined to such a small area that all or at least tho first fow of tho meets may bo held on this field instead of securing some other. A notice baa also been posted for all prospective candidates for the track team to send In their names and tho events in which they deslro to enter. All men should report as soon as pos sible for other things being equal, tho man who has been training hard from tho first will be given tho preference over tho man who sluffs off until tho Monday beforo the first meet. The glrlB' basket ball team, together with a very efficient complement of chaperoncB, left for Minnesota Thurs day evening, nnd played tho girls of that University, at Minneapolis, last night. As we go to press tho score is unobtainable, but wo feol certain that tho co-ed team will havo better fortuno against the GopherB than their broth ers, did. This was tho big game for tho Minnesota girls, as it was for thoso from Nebraska, and In their enthusi asm and endeavors to got out a big crowd they somewhefo dup up tho re port that our team had alroady defeated Missouri and Kansas this year. A few enthusiastic ball players braved the wind and cold of tho last two days, but most of tho boys' were too wlso and consequently confined themselves to gym work.
