the common school branches to prepare teachers for rural schools and for other elementary schools; 
courses in methods of instruction especially adapted to all elementary and high schools.

There will be opportunity to inspect and study the Model Rural School which will be in operation.
There will be courses in Psychology, Philosophy of Teaching, Concrete Pedagogy, special and general 
methods of teaching, History of Education, School Administration; Work in Practice School and in 
Kindergarten under expert supervision. There will be other courses as follows:

Two courses in Inorganic Chemistry; one, in Quantitative Analysis; one, in Qualitative Analysis; one, in 
School Photography; a special course for teachers in the making of lantern slides and in the use of the 
stereopticon in all phases of elementary and secondary instruction. It is proposed to show how teachers 
can make, at small expense, unlimited supplies of lantern slides so that pictures, photographs and 
engravings, wherever found or secured, may be readily utilized in the form of lantern slides with a view 
to the proper illustration of all studies, such as common school Geography, Literature, History, Science, 
etc. It will be shown that an inexpensive outfit can be secured or constructed with which to do lantern 
work in rural schools as well as village and city schools.

Two courses in Physics, with ample apparatus of all kinds; one course in Physical Geography with 
facilities unsurpassed in any college or University of the State.

Several courses in Zoology, also Elementary and Advanced courses in Physiology, the laboratory method 
being followed.

school garden.

One course in General Arithmetic; five, in High School Algebra, including a review course covering the 
entire subject; two courses in Plane Geometry; one, in Solid Geometry; two, in Trigonometry; one, in 
Analytics; one, in Calculus; one, in Engineering, provided candidates have adequate preparation and will 
devote their entire time to the subject.

Various courses in Elementary Vocal Music; History and Biography of Music; Harmony and 
Orchestration; individual lessons for those whose other work in music will justify the same.

Courses in Drawing and Painting for beginners; advanced Art courses of various kinds; special courses 
for those who will make a study of art from the standpoint of text books and library facilities.

Ball, Base Ball, Tennis, etc.

Institution a peculiar advantage in its ability to contribute to the strengthening of teachers in 
Literature, History and other subjects through these very practical courses in Library Work.

Tuesdays June 2nd, will be spent in making programs and in the purchase of text books and the 
assignment of subjects. Class room instruction by the permanent program, will begin Wednesday 
morning, June 3rd.

The Summer School will close Thursday, August 20th.

The Kirksville Chautauqua Assembly will be in session Aug. 8 to 15. This will afford an opportunity to 
hear some of the finest talent in the United States.

NOTE:--All persons desiring to have their summer school grades applied on State or County Certificates 
should observe the rules of the State Board of Education which are as follows:


No student shall be given credit for grades in a teacher's certificate who has not attended at least 
forty-five days of the term, and completed the work for which he is credited. Every such student shall 
be limited to three subjects, not more than two of which shall be higher than the common school subjects, 
and must devote not less than three hours daily to study and recitation in each of such subjects above 
the common school branches. In addition to the two credits on certificates allowed for work done in 
higher branches, students who have attended the full term may receive credit on State and County 
Certificates for work done in one of the following common school branches: Arithmetic, Grammar, 
United States History, Civil Government.

This Summer School will, in all respects, comply with the plan of procedure authorized by the State 
Board of Education.

There will be five lessons each week in each subject, allowing Saturdays for Work in the Library, and 
for rest and diversion. We strongly recommend to those working for certificate grades that they attend 
and be present in their classes for the full term of sixty days.Rests and Recreations. There will be 
frequent Out-Door Games, Musical Entertainments, Stereopticon Exhibitions, and Addresses by prominent 
lecturers from many parts of our country.

Health. The success of our past Summer Schools has broken down the old tradition regarding summer 
vacations. Health is best in the summer season. All nature is at its best in the summer time. The 
healthiest people are those that work in summer time, duly and rationally mixing work, rest and 
recreation.

Room and board will cost from $3.00 to $3.50 per week. Girls at the Y. W. C. A. House secure board for 
much less. There will be many opportunities for light house keeping and club boarding. Somewhat more 
than the usual facilities will be offered this summer for people who wish to pay their expenses by 
work of some kind.

Incidental fee, $6.00; Gymnasium fees, Laboratory fees, Manual Training, etc., in no case to exceed a 
sum total of $2.00.

For further information address,
JOHN R. KIRK,
President.
