la anticipation of a record
breaking enrollment, expected to
exceed more than 4,000 students,
the university is preparing to of
fer its largest summer school pro
gram this year, according to R. D,
Moritz, dean of the summer ses
sion.
Seventy percent of the veterans
now enrolled on the campus in
dicated their intention to remain
for the summer session, in a poll
ken last week. An estimated
'minimum of 1,000 more veterans
now in the process of separation
from the- service will swell the
June enrollment, supplemented by
a larger number of civilian stu
dents than in the past few years
High Enrollment.
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.

The extension division of the
university is a most fascinating
place and the man who heads it,
appropriately enough, is equally
as interesting.
Dr. Knute Broady is a tall, dis
tinguished Scandinavian as his
name may imply. He received his
B.S. degree from Washburn Col

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.

According to Dr. Broady,
courses offered by the extension
division may be classed under two
headings: correspondence work,
and the work carried on in eve
ning classes and in off-campus
classes.
Eleven Service.
In all, the extension division
lists eleven services which it ren

citizenship classes, audio-visual
