The fifth annual Summer Session for Teachers will begin on June 29. The time of opening is set one week later than usual this year in order to accomodate those teachers having ten month terms. There is every indication that this year will witness a substantial increase in enrollment over preceding years and this increased registration is evidence of the fact that the suc cess met with in past years will be continued in the future. Dr. Web er, the retiring head of the school of Liberal Arts. will be present dur ing the first two days of the session in order to facilitate the registration of new students. For the remain der of the time Dr. E. F. Smith, of the department of mathematics, will be in charge and the work that Dr. Smith has done in the past gives assurance of the fact that the high standard maintained by Dean Weber will be attained this year. The Summer Session has become one of the most interesting phases of the work offered by the Penn sylvania State College. With the exception of a nominal fee of five dollars charged for registration, there is no tuition to be paid by Pennsylvania teachers. Last year there was an enrollment of over 600, representing every county in the state, except two. The attend ance is limited strictly to teachers and courses are offered in every department in the college. In this limitation to teachers only, State College is unique among all other eastern institutions. An interesting fact to note in connection with the Summer Ses sion is that teachers may take up work in certain departments of the college during the summer and con tinue their work throughout the winter by correspondence. In this way teachers are able to finish two years of their college course in absentia and by two years more of resident work they can secure their degree. It is this policy of co-oper ation that has made the Summer Session in the past so successful. The work in the department of Education will be carried on by Dr, F. K. Sechrist, foimerly of Clark University. The great extent of the work carried on during the ses sion may be realized when it is considered that over a thousand teachers will be in attendance this year. The work will be carried on by 52 college instructors and the courses offered range from Greek and Latin to cooking; from poultry raising to wood working; from liter ature to special courses in milling engineering. Sunday school teach ers will find the course in Biblical study especially adapted to their needs and all the courses offered during the session will be found to be especially adapted to the needs of the teaching profession. Miss Jessie Fields, known as "The Corn Lady” addressed the Eight Weeks Club last Friday evening at the Woman’s Building.

It is interesting to note just what classes of people are able now adays to send their children to col lege. In order to secure some definite information on this ques tion, the Registrar of the College has recently made a study of the occupations pursued by the fathers of the students of The Pennsyl vania State College. The group of students considered numbered 2157 and included all students registered in the four-year courses, the two-year courses in Agriculture, and “special stu dents”, during the college year 1913-14. From this number 339 had to be subtracted, because the father was either deceased, or retired, or apparently without an occupation. The total number of students, therefore, whose fathers’ occupations have been taken into account was 1818. This number has been subdivided into eight groups; and the following table gives the name of each group, the number of representatives in each, and the per cent of the total for each group, 1, mercantile 391, 21.5 per cent; 2, industrial and manufacturing 328, 18 per cent; 3, artisan 323, 18 per cent; 4, agricultural 311, 17.1 per cent; 5, professional 209, 11.5 per cent; 6, clerical 96, 5.3 per cent; 7, official 55, 3 per cent; miscel laneous 105, 5-6 per cent. In the mercantile group the merchants and storekeepers pre dominate with 220. The forestry schools probably draws its greatest enrollment from sons of lumber dealers who number 27. In the industrial group we find 108 superintendents and 83 failroad employees. The artisan group is well divided into most of the trades and crafts. In the professional group physicians, lawyers and ministers lead the list. Mr. Hatfield, County Secretary of the Y. M. C.
