THE SUMMER SESSION.
WHAT IT IS.—The Summer Session is part of the regular school year. It has the same Faculty and offers the same courses of instruction as any other term of the year. Instruction begins Wednesday, May 30th, and ends Thursday, August 16th. Omitting the Fourth of July, class work continues fifty six days. There is no class work on Saturdays, but the Library, the gymnasiums and the bath rooms are open on Saturdays.
WHAT IT IS NOT.—The summer school is not a short cut to education or to certification or to graduation.
WHAT IT IS FOR.—It is for healthy, ambitious, prospective teachers who wish to economize to the utmost both time and money and who have learned that it is healthier to work than it is to rest in summer time. It is also for those actual teachers who by three months of deliberate student work under normal conditions wish to advance from year to year so as to continue holding those best positions which the fresh and untried graduates annually seek and compete for.
REMARKABLE FOR HEALTH.—Kirksville is a remarkably healthy place. Our buildings and grounds are delightfully cool, clean and cheerful in summer time.
In most institutions the average of absence and irregularity due to ill health from September to May runs from five to ten per cent of the enrollment. In the summer session of this Institution last year with nearly four hundred in attendance the average sickness was less than one per cent. It seems therefore that the summer time is the best time to attend school.

No EXAMINATIONS.—Summer school students usually know what they are prepared to study. If tentative classification does not prove satisfactory, changes are promptly made.
CREDIT FOR WORK DONE.—All grades are entered on our permanent records and count towards final graduation. The diploma of the Institution is a life certificate. Graduation in any elementary course includes a state certificate valid for two years.
CREDIT BY STATE AND COUNTY AUTHORITIES.—The Forty First General Assembly enacted the following:	“Grades made in summer terms of State educational institutions ....shall be accepted by the State Superintendent and county boards in lieu of examinations in the subjects or parts of subjects outlined by the State Board.” We offer all these subjects and many others.
Forty-Five Lessons the Minimum.—Better be present the first day. If your school closes late try to enter not later than June 15 so as to have the forty-five lessons in each subject required for State and county credit. We undertake to make special arrangements for all those faithful teachers who are compelled to enter late. Write us for further particulars.

UNUSUALLY GOOD FACILITIES.—This School offers in the coming summer session advantages in number, variety and efficiency such as were never before offered in Missouri:
The new Science Hall with its superb laboratories; the beautiful Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. rooms; the Literary Society Halls and Debating Club rooms; the Music room; the ventilating fans run by electricity generated in our own plant; the electric lights on dark days; the stereopticon lessons at all hours when wanted; the well appointed suite of rooms for the Library and Library Classes; the unusually attractive and exhilarating courses in Library Work; the elegant new Art Room; the two gymnasiums with fan driven ventilation and numerous dressing rooms and bath rooms; the new and now finished and fenced Athletic Field; the beautiful lawns, the lake and the shady campus—lack of space prevents adequate enumeration—but truly, the State here does offer to the teachers of north east Missouri better facilities than it ever before has offered through any of its institutions, facilities which doubtless will not be surpassed this year in any institution of any state.
AND YET MORE.—About the middle of the session, Hon. W. W. Stetson, the talented, versatile and very practical State Superintendent of Instruction, of the State of Maine, will be with us and deliver a series of ten lectures on School Administration, Management and Methods. These will be highly valuable to superintendents, principals and indeed to all ambitious teachers. Several other distinguished speakers will be secured for lectures.

SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENTS.—From August 2nd to 9th, the Kirksville Chautauqua Assembly will be held in the De France Park, just three blocks from the Normal Campus. The entertainments will include addresses by Rev. Sam Jones, by Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan, by Father Vaughn, the celebrated Catholic orator, by Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth and by others of national renown. These will be interspersed with Glee Clubs, Crayon Artists, Cartoonists, Moving Pictures and other entertainments. What more could ambitious teachers wish for?
EXPENSES.—The expenses will be very low. Tuition, $6.00. Board by the clubbing plan, as may be seen in the account of the Young Women’s Christian Association, page 38, can be reduced to less than $2.00 per week. Reach Kirksville Tuesday afternoon, May 29th, make your program at once, work 56 days, leave August 16th and if you desire to be economical, about $23.00 or less will pay your living expenses for the session. With tuition at $6.00 and allowing $2.00 or $3.00 for books and something for laundry expenses, it can easily be seen that the total expenses can be reduced to less than $35.00 for the entire session. Good board with private families will cost from $2.50 to $3.25 per week.

RAILWAY EXPENSES.—The railroads grant a rate of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan. Be sure to take a certificate for every fare paid enroute to Kirksville. Tickets should be purchased within three days of the opening day, Wednesday, May 30th.
FACULTY AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.—Thirty-five of our regular teachers will offer eighty seven courses as follows:
Agriculture and Botany, two; Chemistry, three; Civil Government, one; Educational Theory and Practice, nine; Reading and Voice Culture, three; English, ten; Free Hand Drawing, three; French, two; German, two; History, ten; Latin, ten; Library Work, one; Manual Training, three; Mathematics, twelve; Military Tactics, one; Music, four; Nature Study, one; Physical Education for Men, one; Physical Education for Women, one; Physical Geography, one; Physics, two; Physiology, one; Psychology, one; Zoology, three.

MUSIC.
MR. D. R. GEBHART.
There will be classes in:
1. Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced Sight Reading;
2. History of Music;
3. Musical Biography;
4. Theory and Harmony.
It is designed to have also a thoroughly practical supervisors’ course provided a sufficient number demand the same.
The orchestra and chorus will be maintained. Candidates for orchestra must be able to play at sight, music of the Standard Opera Overture class.
Opportunity will be offered each day for some twenty minutes of practice by all students at the daily assembly about 10:00 a. m. This feature of the daily program is highly enjoyable. Enough of other music, solos, choruses, orchestra numbers, etc., will be interspersed to make the “chapel exercises” a source of inspiration long to be remembered by students, teachers and visitors.

LIBRARY WORK.
MISS O. A. PARRISH, MISS LOA BAILEY, MISS MAUDE MCCLANAHAN.
The effective co-operation of schools and libraries is the main purpose of the Library Work in the summer school.
A systematic course of instruction in reference work and the use of a library will be given. The adaptation of this work from the fifth grade through the high school will be emphasized.
This knowledge of books and of the technical work following will prepare the prospective teacher to organize and administer a good public school library and make the library a strong support and a valuable extension of the ordinary instruction of the school. The reference work will include a study of indexes, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, ready reference and study reference. Preparation of daily lessons in Library work requires at least as much time and labor as would be required for History or Latin or Pedagogics.

The instruction in cataloging will be based on Dewey’s Simplified Library School Rules and Cutter’s Rules for a Dictionary Catalog, with the use of the new A. L. A. Catalog.
LIBRARY ECONOMY.
Will include:	Book ordering, accessioning, classification, shelf-listing, charging systems, stock-taking, book binding, library hand-writing and typewriting.
BOOK SELECTION.
Instruction will be given in the methods and principles governing selections for different purposes, for special departments, for children, for story hour, etc. Typical books, illustrative of each, will be discussed.

THE YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION HOUSE.
About two years ago the young ladies in the young Women’s Christian Association were feeling the need of a home of their own where they might receive various guests, especially representatives of their State Association, where they might conduct Bible classes and have a home for worthy and ambitious members who might desire to reduce living expenses to a minimum. These young ladies rented a small house and undertook the plan of self boarding. The merit and value of their enterprise was clearly demonstrated. Therefore in September, 1905, the Association rented a new modern 14 room house, situated in the center of the city, and having furnace heat, hydrant water, electric lights, pressure tank, toilet rooms and indeed all conveniences known to a modern residence. Twenty-six of the young women live in this house. They pay $50.00 per month for rent, the usual rates for fuel, light, water, etc., and $5.00 per week for a cook and house keeper. For waiting on the table and doing various other services about the house, one of the young women has all her expenses paid. With these accommodations, the total living expenses of each girl from October, 1905, to February, 1906, inclusive, have been from $2.10 to $2.29 per week; and the girls do not stint themselves. They live well.

During the summer quarter, the average living expenses will be reduced to something less than $2.00 per week. The “Association House” is a nucleus where the sober, ambitious, self supporting, aspiring young women enjoy a wholesome atmosphere in their student work, beautiful social life and many rare privileges which characterize the Young Women’s Christian Association.
