If I could paint a picture, And paint it in colors true, I would spend my time in ' ork sublime Painting old Peru.
I would paint those hills and valleys, Those fields with their golden sheaves, The little squirrel with his swish and swirl, Those beautiful autumn leaves.
Those kings of the stately forest, Monarchs of ages past, Those rugged hills, those rocks and rillsGod grant they may always last.
We mix our earthly colors, And call our paintings good; But the God above with a heart of love Makes colors no mari could.
He has taken the rareSt colors, The ge ms of heavenly blue, And painted a piCture in nature,W e call that piCture Peru.
If I could paint a picture, And paint it in colors true, · I would spend my time in work sublime Painting old Peru.

CREDIT AND HONOR CERTIFICATES
The state superintendent has decided on the following rul.e: "An average g rade of 85 per ce nt or higher, "ith no grade m any subject below 80 per cent, will entitle the hold er to. the words 'With Credit' in the certificate." Also the followmg: "An average grade of 90 per ca nt or hi g her" ith no grade in any subject be low 85 per cent will en title the holder to the. words 'With Honor' in the certificate." A t eac her passing with the words "vVith Credit," or "'With Honor," will be entitled to arenewal of the ce rtificate without examination, making this practically _a permanent certificate. Every possib le effort will be made to make the work so thorough that teach e rs will pass the state examinations "With Credit" and "\Vith Honor" and hence receive the permanent certificate.

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS
Nothing has proYe l of oTeate r yalu e to teachers, whether in institut e or summer sc hool than ro und table discussions,- , of greater value because thi work deals "itb the actual problems of the sc hool. It co n ta ins the minimum of the theore tical and the maximum0 of that "bich is practical. Arrangements h ave been mad e to utiliz e the round ta bl e more than eve r before in the summ er school. Th e following round tables will be conducted by leading educators of ·the state:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. For Country T eache rs. For Superintendents a nd Prin cipals.
For Primary T eac he rs. For Teachers of Grammar an'd Intermediate Grades. For High School Teachers. These conferences will be a leading feature of the summer school. · The work for each class is carefully outlined and system a tiz ed , including th e topics that bear the most vital rel ation to the te acher's work each conference b ei ng conducted by an educator whose and successful experience enable him to speak with authority.
ROOMING AND BOARDING
Peru nffords exeept ion a 1 room i ug- awl bon rd i ng fncilitif!S fllf a great summer selwol. There arc two dormitories for young ladies. There arc munv boarding- houses for both Indies nml gentlemen. Practicnlly honw in Peru is open for summer school students. Rooms arc neatly awl plainly though· not extravagantly furnishecl. The table board is most satisfactory to students. It consists c,f wel1 prepared, wholesome food and plenty of it. The priee of rooms, two in a room, is scarcelye,·er over fifty cents a week for each sttHlent. There is a uniform price of $2.50 a week for the best table hoard. Teachers sometimes decrease expenses by doing light housekeeping. This practice is more common during the regular yenr, because dur· ing the short summer term of nine weeks tct\Chers desire to put as much time as possible on their studies.
MOUNT VERNON HALL
The ladies' dormitory, Mount Vernon Hall, is a modern building in every. respect. Each room is intended for two ladies. In order to secure rooms in this dormitory it is necessary engage them many weeks before the opening of the term. Those securing places in the dormitory will be told by the preceptress what articles to bring from home for their rooms. For infot.. mation write the preceptress, Miss Lillian U. Stoner.
OAK GLEN
Oak Glen is the new self-boarding dormitory. It is thor· oughly modern in construction and equipment. It is a beautiful building at the edge of the cnmpus north of Mt. Vernon Hall. For information regarding Oak Glen write the preceptress, Miss Alice Loomis.
