VOL.XXI. APRIL 18, 1916. No. 27 f 4, SOME SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE SUMMER SESSION. A dozen or more special features have been added to the list of summer school activities for the Sum mer Session which will be held this year June 19th to July 28th. This indicates an intent on the part of the college administration to make the Summer School work of increasing value to those in attend ance. Of these new features the following are promi nent: Lectures on extension work; a course deal ing with rural entertainment; two courses in photog raphy; courses in landscape gardening, school gard ening, and rural improvement; work in manual train ing; a special course of lectures on rural education; courses for teachers of agriculture in county nor mals; courses for teachers of agriculture in rural schools; an extension of the graduate work; school of instruction for Boys' and Girls' Club leaders; and elementary courses in algebra, geometry and physics. Of these courses the one in rural education, which will be given by Dr. Ernest Burnham of Kalamazoo, deserves particular attention. It is distinctly of col lege grade and is to be given the first three weeks of the session, four hours a day being devoted to it. The courses in agriculture, for rural teachers, are also worthy of special mention, as this year for the first time, credit will be given for this work by the state normals. :;\A % > - 7 •<, PUBLISHED B YT AGRICULTURAL C.OLLEGE^ il ?J\ EAST LANDING, M/C^HIGA^ %. ,?.
