Been Announced.

Tim Oatilur or Course unl Inttrurlur
Olvni.
The marked gain iu attoudaaco, var
iety thoroughness of courses, and qual
ity of students shown In last year's
summer school of the University, liaH
encouraged botl faculty and regents
toward still groatcr advancement. The
regents and chancellor wore so well
pleased with the results that an in
creased appropriation has been made
and InHpector T. M. Hjodgman re
appointed director. The plana are fully
tiiatured ia most Instances and provl
BlonQlly moBo. to the- minutest-1 detail,
Briefly the lending features nro, the
course In superintendents conducted
by" Superintendent W. L. Stephens of
the .Lincoln city achools, assisted by
able superintondentH from within and
without tho state. The problems of
school management will be treated hy
pnotical , school executives. Oub very
helpful nhu very attractive feature of
tnlB course- wll bo the lectures by
Dean Roscoo Pound on "Nebraska
School .Laws." Last summer this
course received an attendance of over
s&Jyr It?laiflaijn'cl pflmarlly to meet
the heeds of prospective superinten
dents and principles ana it is Baio to
pay that no course can be taken by
University studonts contemplating
teaching, which will compare with this
in practical holpfulncsa. The course
Is unique In this western country and
ta a pet project of tho director's, who
has long flt and has recently been
even more U. ssed during his inspec
torship, that green University grad
uate may be long on theories, facts and
methods, but very short In correct
knowledge of men and students in
high school work. Theso practical su
perintendents will give heart to heart
co'Sferentca'' showing- jusf'tho way in
which they havo met tho concrete
problems of tno executive. Superinten
dent Stephens, assisted by Professor
l.uckel, Is overcoming tho weaknesses
displayed In the initial course last
year and is planning a sewes ot lectures-In
which there shall be no Overlapping-
of subpects and which shall
bo .wisely supplemented by library'
reudiuga and round table conferences.
In addition to this course Professor
Luckey wiil offer three courses from
his department most in demand by
students. An innovation in this year's,
program is the series of Saturday
morning lectures opon to all members
of the summer school without regis
tration. Theso lectures wllf'o under
the title "Dominent Notes In Modem
Education" and will aim to give the
recent developments, approval methods
and deslrablo ends In Important depart
ments of high Bchool worlL It Is ex
pected that. -Dr. Q. E. Howard will
sound tho noto of authority in history'
teaching, Dr. E. A. Ross in recont so
cial movements. Dr. G. W. A. Luckey
in Education, Professor G. E. Barbor
in Ancient Languages and "Professor
Lawrence- Fosslor In Modern Lan
guages. Thege'loetures nro expected to
bev especially helpful to teachers and
students slnco they will furnish, In
clear and untechnlcal language, the
final word of theso departments. The
course of Illustrated evening lectures,
which proved' so popular last year, will
b continued this summer on each Fri
day even)B of the session.
It Is oxpectbd that Dr. E. H. Barbour,
Dr. J. T. LeeB, Professor Lawtonce
Fossler and Professor G. W. Swezey
will constitute the lectures In this
course.
All else is of course subordinate In
Importanco to tho character and var

Is a matter of speculation but with the

Mr. James Bender, Mr. Clarence John

A groat deal of Interest lias- been
aroused among the colleger of tho
West In regard to the now rulo under
consideration by the schools of tho
conforouce. This rulo if passed will
exclude all men from participating- in

the University studonU to know how

members of tho athletic board-.
Dr. Pound "I assume that Nebraska
will fall In lino with any action taken
by the Conference."
Beers '.'Under cortain circumstances
I think It wolud be all right but thero
arc cases when it would1 keep good moo
off the team when they dcelro to be
on."
Woods "It it in adopted fflBdull
schools would'm&Ko7aneTfo&toiorce
It'I think it would' bV a move in the
direction of purifying athlotics. I
think Nebraska would fall In lino with
the Conference schools."
Prof. Richards "I think it would be
a good tiling and would abolish some
of the questionable evils existing undor
the prcsont conditions. But do not
think it should go Into otfect for at
least two years."
Prof. Chatburn "1 am In favor of it
for it would prevent the rushing of high
school men into school for tho sole
purposo of playing on tho toam."
Lane "Prevents men from attending
school just for tho football season.
jAIbo privents- tho rushing)'. oft; h'

makes study In the University tun
primary object of every student"
Dr. Loor "I am not in favqr of tho
rule. I do not sec why men entering
at the Unlyorslty who aro u. fltil6tly
amateur and bona flde students should
bo deprived from making tho toam."
Dr. Dales "Whilo I havo givon the
mattcr but littlo thought it scorns as if
the ruling wuold bar many good mon

would be a good thing In rogard- to
men who make It a husinoss to mi
grate from ono school to anothor."
Dr. Clapp "Tho rulo would cut out
all 'ringers.' Men who mako it a busi
ness to sec that othbrs ortfMiaJd'pay
on a football team or otlier' atbl6t!c
teams. The expense of keeping theso
inoji in .school for a year would be too
great and would bo given up by those
encouraging thlB plan."
C. T. Bor "Nebraska has never
been guilty of proselyting and hence i
the rulo would crdato n.o reform here.
It would, howover, hamper ua because
It would not make the freshmen ma
terial available, which, in our ease,
would- work a greater hardship than in
the larger institutions wkoro there is
always an abundance of material. I
think tho proposed rule liadvltaor4gin
iu petty jealousies between tbo con
ference colleges, not in tho Interests or
'pure athletics,' but to helfr 'number
one,' for this reason It will probably
never be adopted.. If it shppld be
adonjted Nebraska will doubtlessly; ac
qulesc aff it has to Conference fuies
in the past." .
Dr. Clapp received a letter from, Prof.
S. H. Barton, of Illinois, secretary of
the Conference. In this letter it was
his opinion that the rule would pass
