Many of dents—about one-third—are delinquent in one or more subjects, and find the s u m m er session peculiarly advantage ous for removing their scholastic disa bilities because of superior conditions prevailing at this time.

Wholesome methods so neces in the regular year, sarily prevalent student may serve sufficiently, but be disastrous to the less m a t u re or less • completely m an equipped mentally. It is the part of sound education to give more attention to the second type of mind.

Such conditions demand a preparation on the part of teachers which shall enable them to give this instruction properly. W h at p a rt shall this College play in this t r a i n i n g? It would seem within reason to say t h at this college, as t he sole representative of t h is field of education in the State of Michigan, ought to occupy a posi tion of kindly direction and assistance to in d e t e r m i n i ng the subject m a t t er be t r a i n i ng of the the teachers in this subject matter.

The demands of society for men trained in applied sciences are in creasing at a rapid rate, and the re quirements them a re imposed upon constantly becoming more severe. The range of knowledge as well as t he thoroughness lines a re yearly more taxing. Men cannot go out into t he field of extension, etc., ex pecting to fulfill the expectations of their constituents unless they t a ke oc casion to r e t u rn some source of supply. In other words, these m en will need g r a d u a te work. During the past year, the College fac ulty and Board of Agriculture made excellent provision for t he presenta tion of graduate work. This type of work h as attracted stu dents in each of t he summer sessions, and it would seem t h at t h is field of endeavor ought to be encouraged and expanded in the s u m m er for the bene fit of a growing n u m b er of persons who are going to find this a profitable effort, and an advantageous repeatedly to time. some forty to In addition the routine of the class room, the College provided oppor tunities in a modest degree in the way of e n t e r t a i n m e nt and special lectures. Under t he direction of Professor F r ed Killeen, assisted by fellow musicians and pupils, a very excellent concert was given. Much favorable comment, was heard concerning the appearance of t he Ben Greet Players upon the campus in the open air presentation of "As You Like this it."
