There are several reasons why one .should attend the summer .session, ex-
p l a i n s D r. B o r w n e l l . ' J ' h e y i n c l u d e :
1. Pupils are able to make up back work at a lower cost per pupil to the district than during the regular term. 2 St.udenls who failed can make up their work i;i eight weeks where otlicrw i ' e i t w o u l d t a k e a h a l f y e a r. 3. Puiiils interested in advancing more rapidly may do so by going fo smimier school.
4. If one is taking a sijecial course and desires to take subjects not in cluded in his course, lie can do it dur ing the suimner. 5. It i-s a worth while activity for those who stay at home. Last summer the estimated cost per impi! was $15. .Although the enrollment
is expected to be larger. Dr. Brownell
