cSenerAf (jnnouncemenf The Summer School of the Nebraska State Normal School for the year 1902 will open 1\Iay 26 and close July 4. This is a six-weel<s term in which credits may be made in the prescribed work of the regular courses. lt is designed to meet the wants of three classes of students: first, those who have never taught and who wish to spend a short term in getting a more thorough lmowledge of some of the common branches preparatory to examinations before County Superintendents; second, those who wish to tal.:e up secondary subjects in extension of general scholarship; and third, experienced teach路 ers who wish to combine 路a review 路uf the branches they are teaching with a critical study of educational aims and meth路 ods in a well organized teachers' institute. liuch thought has been given to adapting the instruction offered in this short term to the educational needs of Nebraska. The plan comprises n. summer sclwol and a. proj"e8sional institute of the highest class.

The instruction otl'ered in this te1·m is both ltCademic and professional. 'l'he academic instruction in the various branches is characterized by a spirit of critical thoroughness dPsigned to gi\'e the student a master~· O\'er the subjects as true educath·e material. The question of Pducation values is l<ept in mind in the worl< of l'very class. Special attent.ion is given to the WOI'k in the common branches of public school instruction. Beginning classes are formed in the secondary subjects. In tlw professional work provision is made for :tn analytic study of the fundamental principles of educational philosophy and their concrete application in the practical worl< of the schoolroom. Class.. s are formed for both beginners in the study of teaching and for those who have had experience as teachPrs.

'l'he class worl< in this six-weeks tt'rm co,·ers the ground of n half te~·m's work in the regular curriculum of the school.

Students enmllt•tl in t.hest~ classes for the entire six weeks will consequently receive a half term's crPdit fm· work completed.

A1·rangements are also made by which a student m:ty by giving double time to his study in any subject receivl' credit for a full term's worl<. All gradPS made in the Summer School are counted tow:u·d graduation in the ~o1·mal School. It is the aim to adapt the chamctet• or the instruction and the manag-emPnt of the classes to the wants of the individual pupils.

7

timt of d;ntranct Class worl( will begin promptly on the first day of the term, Monday, May 26; and it is important that the student shouh.l be present on the opening day. Students may enter, howe\¡er, at any time during the term and find worl( suited to their needs, subject, of course, to the usual inconvenience of adapting one's self to work already in progress. 'Vhere it is impossible for a student to be present throughout the entire six weeks, he will derive more benefit from attendance in the earlier part of the term. This is especially true of those who wish the advanta~res of observation work in the l\Iodcl School.

To obtain credit for work done in the Summer 'l'erm the student must be present for the entire six weeks; no credit can be $iven for part. of the time . .-.:~

Tuition is free in this Sum mer term, and no incidental fees are charged, except for materials used in laboratory worlc The cost of living is as low as is consistent wit.h good health and comfort; and no effort is spared to bring the advantages of the State Normal School within the reach of all who wish to attend. The entire expense for room, board, laundry, books, etc., will not exceed $25 for the term, and may be rejuced to $20. All students who enter the State Normal School are required by law to pay a Matriculation Fee of five dollars, which entitles them to free nttendance at the school tor life.

The 1\Iodel School or the State Normal School will be in session during the first three weeks of the Summer School.

This is n.n unusun.ladvantn.~e in a Summer School, bringing to the students in this short term the opportunity to observe and to participate in the best wurk of the Normal School No other school or institute in the State can provide such instruction for its students.

The Model School of the Nebraska State Normal School is organized in grades like those in the best public schouls. It is continuous from the first year or the Kindergarten up through the eight grades of the elementary school. and in all its arrangements and n.dministration it is conducted as an ideal public â&#x20AC;˘school. In the teaching in this school the primary consideration is the welfare and development of the children taught; hence every process is viewed as artist work to be judged by its results in the lives of the children. Accomplished and experienced teachers teach daily in the presence of observing students, who are thus inspired to a high conception of the art of te1tching. The teachers also meet the observers in a free discussion or the work observed, guiding them to an understanding and appreciation of the aims and methods of the actual class work.

The model teachers 1tnd critic teachers in the Model School are earnest students of the aims and methods of elementary worlt; and teachers can make under their guidance a practical study of the business of teaching.

These buildings are all heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and well equipped with furniture and apparatus. Peru is an ide1\l spot in which to spend a few weeks of the summer vacation. Teachers may find the advantages for special study r.ombined with the pleasurt.s of a. retired summer resort.
