"I hope that we won't have more than that as the faculty will be but little larger and it is already loaded up," he continued.
The curriculum is richer than it was last year, according to Professor Johnson. The School of Business is also well prepared for the summer session. Latin has been added to the College for the first term and anomylogy for the second term. The Medical School will not offer biochemistry this year.

Latin Department to Offer Courses First Six Weeks
Teachers Are in Demand Causing Replacement of Classic Studies This Session
Special courses for teachers of Latin will be offered during the first six weeks of the summer session, according to Prof. A. T. Walker of the department of Latin. The reason for this is that; the supply of trained teachers in Latin has not been keeping pace with the demand. It is the plan of the department to offer, on a regular basis, the courses of those who plan to teach or are now teaching this subject. This is the first time since 1921 that courses in Latin are being offered during the summer.
Three courses will be offered in the summer school. They will include a teacher's course, planned to give as much help as possible to those whose preparation in Latin is limited and giving three hours credit. Two courses will be designed to study the aims and methods of Latin teachers, which will be largely used on the report of the Latin Investigating Committee.
Graduate Credit Given
Although this course will be mainly for undergraduates, graduate credit may be obtained for this part of the course. The other course giving credit to undergraduates will have a lower cost, which will give two hours credit.
The last course is open only to graduate students and from two to five hours credit may be gained. It is only for those who have sufficient training and ability to find out factual information, guidance and it is a preparation for thesis writing or an opportunity to write a thesis.
All of these courses will be taught by Professor Walker, who has been on the teaching staff of the depart. Mr. Walker graduated in 1907. He received his doctor's degree from the University of Chicago in 1908 and was also instructor in Latin there from 1847-8. At present he is instructor in the Classical Journal.
Demand for Teachers Increased
"It is reported on reliable information that the demand for teachers of Latin is greater than for those of any other subject and it is also predicted that for years to come the demand will continue to be large," said Professor Walker.
The explanation is that teachers have been warned that Latin is passing out of the curriculum whereas in most other languages Latin has increased 80 per cent in the last seven years, the result being that the schools are forced to employ teachers who have not had adequate training according to Professor Walker.
"The welfare of the pupils therefore requires that such teachers make good their deficiencies by summed up, and this demand that the department is forcing instruction adapted to the mode of the teacher of this subject in the summer session at the University of Kansas," said Professor Walker.
Busy Summer for Allen
In addition to conducting the summer session course in basketball coaching here, Dr. F. C. Allen, athletic director, will conduct a similar course at Drury College, Spring field, Mo.
As instructor at Drury at this
t Doctor, Allen will be associated
with such noted middle-western
coaches as Knute Rocke, Notre
Dame; Harry Gill, Illinois; and Fred
Walker, of Drury College.
"Phog" to Teach Here Before Going to Missouri
The summer coaching course at the University of Kansas will begin June 11, it was announced recently, and will be played in sport will be coached by the variety coach in that sport. The coaching staff will consist of Doctor Alcee, James Naismith, Bum Bum, Greg Hall* "Clars", and Karl Schladenman.
Doctor Allen is also scheduled to teach a week's course in basketball coaching at Southwestern Missouri School, Springfield, Mo., from July 29 to 30.
Purpose of College Course
(Statement adopted by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts, University of Kansas, in 1922.)
The College course should be directed to the following ends:
1. To awaken the student to the problems of the personal and civic life of his own day.
2. To develop in him, with relation to these problems, something both of the historical sense and of the scientific spirit; an understanding of the origins of present conditions, and a spirit of analysis, disinterested, critical thought in analysis of these conditions.
3. Since the college course is to be regarded not as the end but as almost the beginning of a lifelong process or orientation in the world of men and ideas, to equip the student with such tools, in mastery of his native tongue, and in serviceable acquaintance with other tongues, and to cultivate his own culture and the other arts, as shall make his citizenship in the world both effective and profitable.
4. To give training in some specific field, that the student may become immediately useful to society.
Recreation Facilities for Coming Session Make Varied Appea
Recitals, Picnics, and Sports on Land and Water Offer Fun for All
Recreational possibilities for the summer session student during the 1925 term will equal, if not surpass, those of former sessions, according to Prof. W. H. Johnson assistant director of the University summer session.
Along literary lines, a series of five informal lectures upon subjects of educational interest will be offered during the first six weeks by different members of the faculty. At least one week each of these lectures will be by the department of public speech.
A group of weekly recitals by members of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts and advanced students of that department, with one professional recital or concert, will be included in the musical program to which I was invited, and which proved very popular last year, will probably be continued this summer, with three or four "song-feats."
Physical recreation will include all the facilities of a thoroughly equipped gymnasium, the swimming pool and fitness field, track and 14 tennis courts.
"Boating and canoeing on the Kaw River have always been favorite pastimes of summer students," said Professor Johnson, "and ample facilities for these sports will be especially well adapted to them, as is particularly well adapted to bites and picnics, which pleasures are also greatly enjoyed by the students."
Potter Lake Will Entice Swimmers All Summe
Potter lake will entice students during the warm summer months. Improvements at Potter are in good condition for the aquatic sports of the summer session. Last year a new diving tower, spring boards, and a pier were built at the lake. A dressing room for men at the north end of the lake, and one for women at the south end of the lake have been moved to the stadium, but they will be re-erected in their former locations.
Life guards will be provided for the protection of the swimmers. No new improvements will be made this summer, but according to Dr. F. C. Allen, "we intend eventually to make a "swimming 'pool' of the swimming 'hole' by laying a concrete bottom and installing a chlorinator."

Faculty Acquires New Instructors for Summer Term
...
Three Members Remain
Doctor Twente Who Taught Here in 1924 to Return; Four Others Added to Staff.
to Staff
Members of the regular faculty who will be on the staff are Dr. R. A. Schweigler, dean of the School of Education, Prof. P. A. Wittz, associate professor of education, and Professor J. B. Witty, senior school, Professor Witty will teach a course on the non-typical child which will be open to all students and will also teach a course giving only graduate course. Methods of teaching social science will be the subject of Professor Belts' classes.
Summer school students at the University of Kansas this year will have the opportunity of studying under a number of visiting professors, specialists in their fields of work. Five outside instructors have been added to the summer program. Breckenridge of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, will be added to the teaching staff of the School of Law and will instruct classes in trade regulation and personal property. Practically the entire faculty of the School of Education will consist of instructors from other institutions, in order that students in that school may have opportunity to do work under some of best instructors in educational lines.
Dr. Eugene A. Bishop, professor of education at Maryland State Normal will have charge of classes in educational sociology and in the philosophy of education. He has done graduate work at Teachers College, Columbia, on the head of the department of education at Maryland State Nornal.
Bright, of Leavenworth, Here Ira J. Bright, superintendent of schools at Leavenworth, will have charge of the courses in fundamentals of education which will be offered in summer school for the first time this year. Persons taking these courses may then proceed directly with other courses.
Dr. John E. Herring, director of the Bureau of Educational Research, Trenton, N. J., will offer a course in elementary educational psychology. He is the author of the Herring revision of the Simon-Binet test and a former instructor at Columbia University.
Dr. J. W. Twentie, professor of secondary education at the University of New Hampshire, who was an instructor in the summer term of last year, will have classes in statistics, and measurement as applied to physical chemistry. He is a graduate of this institution and received his doctor's degree from Columbia.
Milton C. Del Manzo, superintendent of the city schools of Lawrence, will also be on the staff for the six weeks session, leaving immediately after the next meeting. City, where he will take up a professor in Columbia University.
While other departments may offer new courses for the summer, the School of Education is provened from doing so by the rule that all courses offered will be approved by the State Board in order to meet requirements for certification. Several of the courses originally offered will be altered, however, so that summer session students may receive the selection of courses in the School.
When a man asks to be shown an error of his way, what he really wants is an argument.

New Plan Proposed for Class Schedule of Summer Session
Wednesday Convocation Period Allowed by Novel Hour Arrangement
A new plan for the conducting of two-hour courses to be given in the six weeks summer session is being contemplated by the director of the summer session, Dr. R. A. Schweckel. The two hours credit will be scheduled for a recitation period of one hour and a half, instead of one hour as has been the custom in former years, the classes reciting only on three days each week. On the other weeks, beginning with the first full week of school.
Classes giving this amount of credit would meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, leaving a free period on Wednesday which would make it possible for a large number of students to attend the convoixions which will be held on that day.
It is also planned to schedule a many two hour classes as possible at the hours of 7:30 and 16:30 that leaving the 9 o'clock period open one day each week. It is not certain yet whether or not this scheme can be worked out and it will not go into effect until all departments have been consulted as to the advisability of engaging their courses in this manner.
New Entrance Fees Set
Five Dollar Increase Still Leaves K. U.'s Rates Low
Every student entering the University of Kansas for the summer session is required to pay a muriti-
ture fee of $15 if a resident of any other state. In addition, each student enrolled is required to pay an incidental fee of $15 if a resident and $20 if a resident with both terms of the summer session.
The incidental fee formerly was $10 for residents, and $15 for non-residents. The University recently paid $25 to enroll in the curriculum. The incidental fee has always been lower than that of many other states; California's incidental fee, for instance, is $25, that of Chicago $75, Indiana, $40, Michigan, $32, Colorado, $16. Michigan's term only, will be charged one-half the above incidental fee; that is $7.50 for residents of the state, and $10 for non-residents. The mitigation fee is always the same. Any person who has once matriculated will be entitled to pay this fee a second time.
Athletic Coaching in Credit Courses Offered at K. U.
Summer School Term First
Organized in 1920;
200 Expected
June 11
Eighteen courses in athletic coaching will be offered in summer session by the department of coaching, School of Education. As a majority of states have compulsory physical education in high school, there is an increasing demand for trained teachers in teaching will be taught by Dr. F. Dr. C. Allen, Dr. James Naismith, and coaches Clark, Schlademan, and Bunn. Women's classes will be taught by Prof. Margaret Barto.
The following courses will be offered for men: Basketball, football, track, officiating major games, treatment of athletic injuries, teaching methods in school athletics, administration of competitive high school athletics, heavy apparatus and advanced calisthenics, principles of gymnastics, physical examination and antihypertension, basketball, minor sports, and swimming.
Courses for Women Offered
Courses for women are basketball, hockey, secondary (school curriculum, folk dancing, examination and prescription of exercise. All the courses are good for two credit hours in the School of Education, except women's basketball and hockey which are one hour courses. "My Basketball Bible," by Doctor Robert N. Shapiro, teaches teaching basketball. The training alternates daily between theory and actual practice.
The summer school of coaching was organized in 1920 and since that time it has grown continually, and the students taught all the major coaches himself; in 1922 Clark and Schladeen were added to the coaching staff. Doctor Nalshim assisted last year and Dr. Dunn will掌 teach self-reliance.
An enrollment of about two hundred is expected in these courses, according to Doctor Allen. Statements have been received by him from people in every part of the country, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the northern boundaries. A number of school students will derive great benefit from having well trained coaches, said Doctor Allen.
Allen Leaves in July
At the close of the first semester of summer school Doctor Allen will go to Springfield, Mo., to teach basketball in the masters' coaching course in the teachers' college there. The school of coaching at the University has wide popularity because it has been successful since 1920, and because Kansas has held at least one championship in one major tournament since 1920. The University of Kansas is the only school in the Missouri valley that has a four year school of coaching.
A series of athletic entertainments are being planned for the summer session. Twilight baseball leagues are being organized and tennis tournaments will be conducted for students and faculty members. Potter lake is in good condition or swimming on how account will be made. Allen. Life guards will protect swimmers in the lake, and separate dressing rooms for men and women will be constructed.
An optimist is one who is glad he has so many chigger bites, because they keep him mentally and physically alert.
