DARTMOUTH TO HAVE WAR-TIME SUMMER SESSION

The College has recently announced its decision to continue the Summer Session in spite of the fact that many summer sessions have been withdrawn because of the war. The Dartmouth Session will be emphatically a war-time summer session; all the courses will have some bearing to the present military situation. The Session is primarily designed for public school teachers, many of whom are showing their patriotism by increasing their usefulness as teachers of the boys and girls for whom the war is being fought.

Unusual attention has been given to the courses in French, as teachers and others are finding a rapidly growing need of training in this subject. The aim of the Dartmouth courses is to drill in actually speaking the language; those who come for this work will not be expected to use English at all while they are in Hanover. The work will be in charge of Professor Osmond T. Robert of the French department of Wellesley, a native Frenchman who has come to this country since the war began.

A large registration is also expected in the Spanish course, which is unique among summer sessions. By concentrating their entire time upon elementary Spanish, students cover a whole year's work in six weeks.

Other war courses that are expected to be popular are history (two courses dealing with the background of the war in England and in Europe), physiology, sociology (in which consideration will be given to the rehabitulation of soldiers and similar "after the war" problems).

Prominent on the faculty are Frank W. Wright, Deputy Commissioner of Education, Massachusetts, Don C. Bliss, Superintendent of Schools, Montclair, N. J., Jack R. Crawford, connected with the Yale pageants and representatives of the faculty at Dartmouth, Williams, and Wellesley.

The trustees of Dartmouth College will continue to award scholarships for tuition at the Summer Session to New Hampshire superintendents, principals, and secondary school teachers.
