The arbitrary enrollment figure of 4,000 exceeds a previous high of 3,401 in 1927 and far surpasses the 1944 figure of 1,771. Formerly the scope of the sura mer session curriculum was con siderably below that of the fall winter term but this summer the contrast will be slight, Dean Montz said. Complete Programs, For the first time complete col lege programs will be offered in mechanical and civil engineering and in agriculture. The business administration college program will offer 25 additional courses and twice as many instructors. The arts and science college placed particular emphasis on lan guages, speech and journalism as part of their increased program, stated Dean Moritz. He said plans have been made to offer a special course for high school graduates this summer which will enable them to pro cure the necessary credits for teacher certification to meet Ne braska's elementary school teacher shortage this fall. "Some difficulty is anticipated in finding qualified instructors for some of the additional courses be ing offered, but we plan to uti bze the increasing number of -graduate students for part time teaching and grading papers," he said.

Hoover Talks on Practical Teaching Values Teachers should lay greater emphasis upon practical rather than theoretical education, was the thesis of an address given by Dr. Floyd W. Hoover, assistant director of admissions at the uni versity, to Nebraska City school teachers and officials Monday. Dr. Hoover, discussing teaching and curriculum problems, added that, "Education in our nation has always been torn between two philosophies one looks on a child's mind as a storage vault to be filled during his school years with knowledge upon which he can draw skills and attitudes as he needs them upon becoming an adult. The other says students should learn by doing those things which are useful to him now or, in other words, don't teach a child to write checks unless he is writ ing them now," Dr. Hoover con tinued. Urging a compromise, Dr. Hoo ver said that grammar and mathe matics have steadily declined in importance in high schools be cause emphasis has been upon theories instead of practical ap plication in students' everyday life. principal, and school superintend ent in Lincoln county, Kansas.
