SUMMER COURSES AT
STATE UNIVERSITY
Athens, Ga.—The University of
Georgia now has courses given the
year round. The summer months which
in the past have been a period of
complete cessation of work, are now
utilized by a number of students as
a time for making up work on which
they have fallen short, for hastening
their courses so that they can grad
uate earlier, or for disposing of a con
ditional unit or two required at en
trance. The number of students de
manding summer work has increased
to such an extent that the institution
lias formally established a schedule
for summer work. Not only can work
be done toward winning a bachelor’s
degree, but courses in master’s work
are also offered.

An organized movement of col

students go to college without neces

great handicap in doing college work.
The other reason is that the high

Where Teachers Romp
And Play Like Children
Tne games and play of children In
school has come to be considered a
very necessary part of the education
of the child. The teacher's guidance
of the children in their plays is
scarcely less important than class
room instruction. What to do with
the children during the play periods
has, therefore, come to be considered
ag important part oj the knowledf*
of the teacher. Play as well as study
must be organized and directed much
o{ the tim§, and the play spirit is
invaluable throughout life.
At summer schools the play life of
the child has an Important place on
the programs. In fact no part of the
summer school work Is taken up with
greater eagerness. That it is highly
enjoyable is readily believed when
one witnesses with what childish
abandon the grown-ups join in the
plays, the games, folk dances, page
ants, etc., at a summer school. To
engage again in childhood pleasures
has been the tonic which many over
worked teachers have needed to send
them home after the session with a
glow of health and a new interest in
life.
The illustration given herewith is
t one of a number of ways the
gia teachers play at being chil-
again at the summer school of
University of Georgia,
other recreative ways the tired
teacher is stimulated at the summer
school both physically and mentally.
Tine swimming pool is intensely
Popular especially with the women
who seize the opportunity to learn
hoyv to swim, dive and do aquatic
stunts. The gymnasium comes in
fop a share of attention, the tennis
court and twilight games vie with
other in popularity.
