UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA SUMMER SCHOOL Natural Environment of Missoula ISSOULA is beautifully located in one of the most picturesque val- leys of western Montana. In all directions high mountains rise, clothed with evergreen forests, through which cold, clear moun- tain streams rush to join the Hell Gate, the Blackfoot and the Bitter Root rivers. Missoula is near the junction of these streams at the mouth of the famous Hell Gate canyon, storied in Indian tradition and the early annals of discovery and immigration. A plain extends' westward to where the land rises to the foot hills of the Bitter Root range, with the high summits of St. Mary’s and Lolo on the skyline. Missoula is fifty miles as the crow flies, due west of the continental divide at the head of the Black- foot river. Flathead Lake lies forty miles to the north, and southward it is fifty or sixty to the Como peaks and lakes, both regions easily accessible, and of surpassing interest to the summer tourist. Surrounded thus by a country rich in its natural attractiveness, Missoula offers many opportunities for local excursions, and these will be made a spe- cial feature of the sessions of the summer school. Week-end trips will be arranged, which, at very slight expense, will furnish delightful recreation out of doors at the most attractive season of the year. It is about an hour’s ride from Missoula to the Flathead Reservation, THE LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA SUMMER SCHOOL where are the Buffalo Park, St. Ignatius Mission, and the Mission moun- tains. There is a grassy mountain valley near Arlee, a plain hemmed in by rugged mountains. Here for a few days every summer the landscape is dot- ted with tepees, and the remnants of the Selish tribes conduct their ances- tral dances in full panoply. This is always an occasion of great interest to many in the opportunity it affords of seeing something of aboriginal life in Montana, and of becoming acquainted with some of the noted and pic- turesque characters' of a well known race. Southward, from Missoula, is the famous Bitter Root Valley, one of the most fertile and beautiful regions of Montana. It lies under the evening shadows of the Bitter Root range, which rises like a wall along the western border of the state. An auto ride of a few hours over splendid roads, past the rich fields and extensive orchards of prosperous country homes, always in near view of the majestic mountains, and often skirting the shore of the beautiful river which traverses this valley, is an exhilarating experience not soon to be forgotten. The Bitter Root Inn is delightfully situated, and a little rest and refreshment here is not the least of the pleasures of 1 the trip. From this valley several other points are accessible. The Lolo Hot Springs are reached by a very enjoyable stage ride, and the ascent of Mt. Lolo, the most commanding eminence of the region, is well worth the effort. The Rattlesnake canyon is a favorite resort for short trips from the city. Parties going by wagon may easily reach the falls and return the same day. The ride is delightful, the woods rich in flowers and the stream of great beauty and interest. VIEW OF GREENOUGH PARK UNIVE RSITY OF MONTANA SUMMER SCHOOL Of Special Interest to Teachers rN THE Department of Psychology and Education will be offered a rich variety of courses designed for those secondary and elementary teachers of Montana or other states, who desire to pursue work for professional advancement. The department is able to announce thus early the appointment of three of the leading specialists in method in this country: Miss Helen Herron of New Orleans; Miss' Ida Van- dergaw, method supervisor of the schools of Oakland, Cal., and Miss Alma Binzel, method specialist from the Winona, Wis., Normal School. The fac- ulty of the department will be augmented by the addition of a number of eminent professors from other universities in the United States and Eng- land; and by special lecturers selected from a large list of persons who have attained great leadership in one or another field of education. The meet- ing of the N. E. A. at Salt Lake in July gives us unusual advantages for securing lecturers this season. The department will attempt to arrange courses that are most desired by teachers and, with this in view, a circular letter has been sent to city and county superintendents and principals of high schools. The following courses can be announced at this time: General Psychology; Educational .trsychology, History and Principles of Education, School Hygiene, Modern Educational Problems, Primary Grade Methods, Intermediate Grade Methods, Grammar Grade Methods, Recent Development in Rural Education, School Playgrounds and Playground Work, The Development of Household Arts in the School, Administration and Supervision of School Systems. In addition to these, the department will attempt to add any of the following courses according as there seems to be demand for them: Psychology of Abnormal and Defective Types, Secondary Education, Kindergarten Methods and Dem- onstration, Music in the Schools, The Development of Manual Arts in the School. EXPENSES REGISTRATION — A general registration fee of $10.00 will be charged for any or all courses. ROOM AND BOARD — The University will undertake to provide accom- modations (including room and board) at the rate of $30.00 for the six weeks’ session, for all students who make application before May 15th, and who forward therewith a deposit of $5.00. The dormitory on the campus will be reserved for women. For further particulars, address the Secretary of the University. Students who wish to secure accommodations in private families may do so, making their own arrangements. Rooms may be had for from $6.00 to $12.00 per month. Such persons may secure board at the University dining hall at the rate of $4.50 per week, or for $24.00 for six weeks 1 , if paid in advance. TRAVEL — The authorities of the University wish to place the Summer School within the reach of all the teachers and students of Montana. In view of this, the cost of round trip railway fare (based on cheapest route and not including meals or sleeper) less $5.00 will be refunded to those per- sons regularly enrolled. This privilege cannot be extended to persons living outside of the state, who, however, may find it advantageous to buy tickets via Glacier Park or Yellowstone Park. Hence for Montana teachers and stu- dents it will be seen that the total expense of the Summer School need not exceed the following: Registration, $10.00; Board and Room for the session, $30.00; Railway fare, $5.00. TOTAL, $45.00. UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA SUMMER SCHOOL Registration Day June 9; Instruction begins June 10; Instruction ends July 18.

A two story brick building, on a beautiful and com- manding site, in a rich and virgin field, makes possible work of every grade, from that of the beginner to that of the specialist. Full information will be given in a separate bulletin. Courses will be offered in Botany, Zoology, Photography and Nature Study. Special attention will be given to the work and needs of teachers'. Every facility will be offered to advanced students and investigators. The station owns eighty-seven acres of beautiful timber land, with nearly a mile and a half of shore line. The beautiful Mission mountains rise quite abruptly from the lake to Alpine heights. The scenery is wild, rugged and interesting. At the station, work and recreation may be combined so as to give the very best results for a summer outing. For information, address Morton J. Elrod, Director Biological Station, Missoula, Montana.
