SUMMER SESSION After an interval of two years, caused by the Capitol fire of 1911, the summer session was resumed this year. As the preliminary arrangements were necessarily made shortly after the removal of the school into the new building and before the possibilities in the way of accommodation and instruction could be definitely foreseen, no extensive advertising was indulged in and no special attempt made to attract a large number of students. The course was a general one, extending from June 4th to July 18th and covering the essentials of the principal subjects met with in library work. The chief innovation was an arrangement by which the course in Library work with children, given to the regular school, was open also to students in the summer school. Several special lecturers were engaged expressly for the summer school. (See also Lecturers, pages 7-10). Eighty-eight lectures and class appointments were given. A summary of the course with the number of lectures in each subject follows: Classification (11) Miss Hawkins Subject headings (7) Miss Hawkins Reference (8) Mr Walter Public documents (3) Mr Wyer Bibliography (6) Mr Biscoe, Mr Walter Work with schools (5) Miss Hall, Miss Mendenhall, Dr Williams In view of the fact that the summer session particularly meets the needs of the smaller libraries of the State and in this way should reach by far the greater number of the libraries of the State, plans are already under way to make it even more helpful than heretofore. The Educational Extension Division and the School Libraries Division are cordially cooperating both with suggestions for the improvement of the course and in calling the attention of librarians and assistants in the smaller libraries to the value of such a course. The course was attended by 20 students, 10 of them coming from New York, 4 from Texas, 3 from New Jersey and I each from Connecticut, Maine and Michigan. Three hundred twenty-one different students have attended the 14 different summer sessions, II of them having attended more than one session.
