ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS
. has proved of greater value to teachers, whether m mstitute or summer school than round table discussions,--:-O! greater value this work deals with the actual problems of the school. It contains the minimum of the theoretical and the maximum of that which is practical. Arrang ements have been made to utilize the round table more than ever before in the summer school. The following indicates briefly the plan of organization:
ROUND TABLES
1. FOR COUNTRY TEACHERS. Three divisions. Conducted by county superintendents.
2. FOR SUPERINTENDENTS AND PRINCIPALS. Conducted by leading educators of the state.
3. FOR PRDI T BA HB R . ondu cted b members of the faculty and institute in t ructors for primru· grades.
4. FoR 'l' EACH ER OF RAM:\I:AR AN D { TERMEDIATE RADES. Conducted by me mb rs of the facult and institute instructors.
5. FoR HIG H CH OOL T EA HER . onducted by heads of departments.
Th ese confere nces "ill be a leadin()' feat ure of the summer school.

ROOMING AND BOARDING
Peru affords exceptional roomino· and boarding facilities for a great summer sc hool. There0 ru·e two dormitories for ladies. Th ere are man y boarding for ladies and gentlemen. Practically ev ery home m Peru IS open for summer school students. · Rooms are neatly and
though not extravagantly furnished.. The
board IS most satisfactory to students. It consists "ell prepared, wholesome food and plenty of it. The price of rooms, two in a room, is scarcely ever over fifty cents a for each student. is a uniform price of $ 2.50 a. week for the best table board Teachers . sometimes decr ease expenses by doino· lio·ht
This pra.ctice is more o o o · the short common during the regular year, because durmg h summer term of nine weeks teachers desire to put as roue time as possible on their studies.
MOUNT VERNON HALL
The ladies' dormitory Mount Vernon · Hall, is a modern building in every Each room is for. t":o ladies. In order to secure rooms in this dormitory_ It IS necessary to en o-ao-e them many weeks before the openmg of the term.

THE Y. W. DORM1TORY
Owing to the demand for additional dormitory ad' antages the De lmonico hotel a beautiful huillincr a block or more ' south of the busines s portion of to wn, ha s b ee n converted into . a Y.

For furth r informa t ion write to the preceptress, Miss i\Iae Palmer, Pe ru, Ne b.
OTHER BOARDING PLACES
Practically all t he hom es in P er u are open to students for rooming and boarding. Many hundr ed students can tlms b accommodated outside of the dormitori es .

The wonderful commercial growth of this during the few years renders a business education an absolute necessity.

SH ORTHAND
The educational value of s horth a nd has r ece ived far less attention than the ut ilitari an s ide of th e s tudy. The very act of learning it is a mental di sc ipline of no m ean order. The .p<>Pl!lar Gregg sys tem of s hor tha nd is ta ught. This sysm _s implicity, in ea se and ra pi di ty of exec ut ion, in legi· bihty, m capability of the hi gh est development of speed, by f ar ou t rank s any oth er kn own system . Th e Gregg sy stem is based upon longhand,-every s troke used is already familiar through years of practic e; henc e t im e is saved in lea rning the uniform character of t he writing increa ses speed. It Is mastered by the avera ge stud e nt in on e -third of the time to master any of the old c ompli c ated sys tems. The dilig ent student can in ei a ht mon t hs acquire a speed of 80 to 100 words per minute, is suffici e nt to do g ood office work. If r E?porting is intended the subject should be pursued for a longer time.
TYPEW R ITI NG
Typewriting is taken in ·connection with shor t hand. The best standard made machines are furnished for practice. Skill in the use of the ma chine is not the onl y design of thi s department. Special attentio:o is paid to vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, and paragraphing. The instruction in this department is purely practical. The VanSant System of Touch Typewriting is used. Word and phrase signs are studi ed and mast ered until th ey can be writt en as readily and unconsciously · as a, b, c. . Shorth a nd and typ e writing are of bu_t httl e valu e .without a thorough knowledge of English, spelling, bookkeepmg, and 12
correspondence. The e su bject a re taught in a most t horough manner in the sc hool.
MODEL SCHOOL
In the in stru ction in tbe art of teachino· by Observation the mod el teacher teaches dailJ in the of observ ing studen ts, who are thu inspired to a hio·h conception of teachin g and in structed in a. practical kno;l edge of t he details of t he work. The teachers also meet the observers subsequently in a free discussion of the work observed, guiding them to an understanding and app r eciatio n of i ts a ims and methods. The model teachino· is planned and conducted so as to treat the various phases of schoo l work. The model schoo l at Peru is one of the stronrrest and best conducted model schools in the vVest. o
THE GRASS SCHOOL TEACHER
The Grass School-teacher or "Grass Widow" as more familiarly known, was without doubt the star of the tiona l ex hibit at the state fair. She presided with digmty ov_er the model Ma.ny a lady in costly silks and laces might have envied her as she stood th ere at the entrance of the model school in a most artistic and beautiful costume _of sixty- three na tive grasses gathered in Rock county. Florence Zink of Ba ssett N ebra.ska and her sister Bessie dressed the fair lad y. This schooi purchased this. grass sch ool teacher and now has her on ex llilJition iu the lllJrary not only because the artists who distinguished themselves in this work have been students of this school, but because of the beautiful conception a nd artistic work of the figure, making it of value to the school as . a work of art.
BOYS OF THE FARM
At a recent meeting of the School Masters' Club it was found that out of an attendance of thirty-five there was only one present who was not reared on the farm. The membership this club consists of college -presidents supermtendents and principals. Many such mvestigatwns have been made, showing that the country boy who secures
an e du cat ion is lik ly to become a l ead r in bu . in e.· or prfess ional circl es .
