Importance Of Summer Schools

One of the objections to the teaching professio:r:i is the fact that there are three months with out pay. Any employment a teacher may sec ure for t h e. summer fails to increase her efficiency as a teacher. Colleges and normal schools recognizing this fact have divided their yearly session into five quarters instead of four. Peru plans her year thus that ambitious teachers may do one fourth of a year's work each summer and yet leave four or fh¡e weeks for a recreational vacation . Courses are adjusted so that every subj ect carried counts directly towards graduation.

Rural Education

Country communities are calling for better trained teachers and offering increased wages. The Nebraska Legisfature has provided for two special courses for rural teachers. We thus have the demand for better teachers and a legislative act which makes provision through the Peru State Normal for preparing better train 2d rural teachers. Young men and women who wish to play an importa nt part in these reconstruction days should enroll in the courses which prepare for country school teaching.

Do you know that if you are sixteen years of age and hav.e completed the eighth grade or its equivalent that you m a y in two years secure an Elementary Rural Certificate valid in rural school of Nebraska for three years?

Do you know that if you have secured the Rural Elementary Certificate, completed the tenth grade or its equivalent that you may in two years secure a First Grade Rural State Certificate valid for three years in any county of the state?

Do you know that at the expiration of this Certificate with three years of successful teaching that you m ay secure a Professional Rural State Cerificate valid for life?

KINDERGARTEN-Past school organization recognized a decided gap between Kindergarten and Primary Education. Present educational theorists appreciate the common mental and physical attitudes character.istic of children five, six and seven-hence, the courses for teachers of the early elementary period, acquaint the student with the impulses and interests of both kindergarten and primary children and provide the necessary play and work activities to meet these needs. The following aim directly at this goal: Games and Rythms.-A study of children's natural physical reactions and how to organize these into appropriate rythms and satisfying games. Practice in simple
