The Junior foresters are in town and from the stories that they tell, their summer in the woods was a most pleasant one. During the first six weeks, they camped at the foot of Seven Mountains over back of Bear Meadows. Here regular eight-hour-a-day schedules were made out, and at the end of the term, final exams were held. There are innumerable snake stories and accounts of great trout catches that belong to this period. Thence the party took a trip, inspecting various mills and lumbering opera tions in Lock Haven, Emporium, Norwich, Colegrove, and Olean, N. Y. In the latter place, they went through Clark Brothers factory, the largest lumbering machinery factory in the country. Several days were spent in lumber camps. The whole stunt took the better part of our regularly allotted vacation, but each man vows that he had the time of his life. Sophomore and freshmen candi dates for Varsity football who are regularly scheduled for military drill must not absent themselves from the scheduled exercises in that department until they have been properly excused. The list of excused men will bo posted each day on the military bulletin board at the Armory. Report any over sight to the football manager. the new Next to postoffice STATE COLLEGIAN SUMMER SCHOOL WAS A SUCCESS Teachers From Eight States Were Enrolled in the Summer Session. Enrollment Exceeds All Previous Records. The Fifth Summer Session for Teachers, which was held at State College during the six weeks begin ning June 29 and ending August 7, was in many respects the most suc cessful which has been held. The total enrollment was [Bl4 teachers and librarians of whom 161 were men and 653 women. Of this number 774 received credit for work satisfactorily completed. The increase in attendance was 250, which is 45 per cent of the registra tion of the previous year. Sixty four of the 67 counties of Pennsyl vania were represented. In addi tion to the students from the state there were 29 students from seven states and the Phillipine Islands. Lackawanna county had the ban ner delegation, being represented by 90 teachers and students; Lu zerne county was second with a representation of 72 persons. One hundred and twenty-seven courses were offered giving an opportunity to take work in any of the five schools of the college and in the departments of Home Eco nomics and of Physical Education. Students weie enrolled in Agricul ture, Botany, Chemistry, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, Education, English, Forestry, French, Geol ogy, German, Greek, History, In dustrial Art, Industrial Education, Latin, Library work, Mathematics. Music, Physical Education, Phys ics, Psychology, Public Speaking Spanish and Zoology. In additioi to these courses a training school including a kindergarten and th. eight grades, was conducted, ir which students were given an op portunity to do practice inching as well as observe the teaching of ex perts in public school work. The enrollment in the training school was made up of 75 boys and girls from the town. Remarkable increase was made in the registration for work in Domestic Art, Education. Indus trial Art, Industrial Education and Physics. In each of these depart-j ments the enrollment was practical- 1 ly double that of the previous year, and in no case was there a decrease \ in the attendance in any single department. In order to carry on the work to the best advantage it was necessary to supplement the regular faculty with more than 20 instructors from the various colleges of the country. Among these were principal Charles Lose, of the Lock Haven Normal School; Piofessor C. D. Koch, of the State Department of Education; Dr. G. R. Throop, of Washington University, St. Louis; Dr. Sechrist, of Clark University; Miss Katherine Moran, of the Cortland, N. Y. Nor mal School; Professor H. W. Jacobs, Director of Arts in Buffalo Public Schools; Miss Josephine Horner, of the Rochester Mechan ics Institute; Miss Margaret Mac- Donald, of the State Library Com mission; Miss Zella Bigelow, of Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Mary J. Cooper, of Johnstown; Miss Marga ret Giesecke, of Buffalo; Miss Ade laide Illman, Assistant Diiectorof Kindergartens, Philadelphia; Miss Gertrude Wheeler, of Owego; and Miss Laura Staley, director of music at Ardmore. Special lectures and addresses were given by Dr. Arthur Holmes, Dean of the General Faculty; Dr. Williams, of Philadelphia; Rabbi Joseph, of Allentown; Dr. N. B. Forbush, President of the American Institute of Child Life; Dr.’ David son, Superintendent of the Pitts- burg public schools; President E. E. Sparks; Rev. J. K. McClarkin, of Pittsburg; Rev. O’Haulaon, of Bellefonte, and a number of other prominent educators throughout the country. In addition to these ad dresses many delightful readings were given by members of the fac ulty. The Ben Greet Company gave open air performances of Shakespeaie's Twelfth Night and of the Midsummer Night’s Dream. The students of the session gave an up-to-date vaudeville show under the direction of Mr. Bowman, and a pageant of “The Seasons” under rte direction of Miss Ethel Sparks. One of the most delightful of the recreation features was a picnic in the gap at Pine Giove Mills on a Saturday. The success of the wotlc of the past summer shows that the sum mer session is coming to be an im portant factor in the life of the Pennsylvania State College. Its marvelous growth from an enroll ment of 147 to one of 814 in five years stands as a monument to the ability and energv of Dr. S. E. Weber, now City Supeiintendent of the Scranton schools, under whose direction the exceedingly rapid development was made. The ses sion of 1914 was under the direc tion of Dr. Edwin R. Smith to whom much credit is due for the splendid success of the school, MORE FRESHMEN THAN EVER Enrollment of Young Women Sur passes any Previous Year. On September Bth, the number of persons who have been granted en trance credit for four year courses it the Pennsylvania State College, reached 693. This is a very large ■nrollment for such an early date. Of this number, howe\er, there will re a number drop out, as not every one who has been admitted ever really gets to college. Up to this r ime, 43 of the number admitted have informed the registrar that they will not enter college this year In all probability, 650 of the num ber adm : tted will enter college this week. The registrar announced Tuesday evening, that he would ad mit about 30 more applicants, pro viding rhey show complete prepara tion for college. This number will be admitted by certificate, and does not include those who may be admitted by passing the entrance examinations given this fall. Already 48 young women have been admitted to the freshman class. This is a remarkable growth in numbers, more than doubling the number admitted last year. The Ladies Cottage will not accomodate all the young women this year, and several other buildings hate been provided for them. Of the numbet of persons admit ted, 58 have enrolled in the Liberal Arts School, seven of whom will take the Classical Course. The fine new Libfril Arts Building will prove a boon for the Aits school at State, and will doubtless be instru mental in drawing netv students to the college for the Liberal Arts course. The registrar has granted admis sion to the college to only 10 special students this year. The number admitted to the two-year course in Agriculture has reached 130. With this large number of new students coming to State this year, the class of 1918 will be the largest in the institution at the present time. The registiar has been com pelled to refuse admission to many eager persons, on account of insuf ficient preparation, and very likely this number will be greatly increas ed before the first college week has ended.

One of the most inspiring “Stt ups” a Penn State Y. M. C. A. cab inet ever experienced was held Sunday, September 13, from 9:30 o'clock in the morning until 4:30 o’clock in the evening. At the hour appointed for the opening of the forenoon session the cabinet officers, numbering more than thirty, gathered in the Carnegie Library where the meeting was opened by President H. Vigor Cranston. The chairman after a few intro ductory remarks introduced Mr. Hatfield of the International Com mittee. Mr. Hatfield is especially interested in the Country Life Movement and his message to the cabinet naturally fits the occasion in an agricultural college. It was not only the subject upon which he spoke, but also the personality of the speaker behind every wors that made his message a burning one to all his listeners. Being an Ohio State man the speaker is familiar with the problems in a Y. M. C. A. such as flourishes at Penn State. He impressed upon the audience the great importance of having a purpose in life and fighting hard for the realization of that ideal. Y. M. C. A. work as it is carried on today is an appeal to the heroic for service, rather than to the selfish foi privilege. Following this address one of the most interesting parts of the day’s program was announced. This was that every man present should give his summer's experience. Many interesting and worthy reports were made by the men, and while pleas ure and jolly, good fellowship pre vailed, there was not lacking that vein of seriousness in the report of every man, thereby showing a more than superficial purpose in life. Among the men who related hap penings of the summer were: Buch man, Cranston, Cuno, Hill, McDow ell, Hutchinson. Lininger, McCon nell, Dorwart, Weaver, Hoehler, Gold, Jones, Whetstone, Baker, Towsen, Pickett, Staiger, Welty, Osuna, Hatfield, Reed, Horst and Leyden. The next hour from 12:30 to 1:30 was used as a period for lunch. A splendid meal was provided for all by Mr. Sellers an old Penn State man. In addition to this Prof. Willard and wife very generously supplied the men with cake, coffee and fruit. In the afternoon the reports of the various committees were heard. Every committee chairman has definite plans for this year's work, and a great effort will be made to surpass any records of previous years. The cabinet men were given much excellent advice on business methods by Graduate Manager Smith. One of the gieat est assets of a business man is reli ability. By applying good, clean business principles to the Y. M. C. A. work will add a wonderful impetus to the association. Mr. Osuna, a State man who is now a senior in the Princeton Theo logical Seminary, spoke a few min utes about Penn State and the rep utation that the institution has in a few of the eastern schools. In his mind one of the best things the Y. M. C. A. can do is to correct an erroneous idea that State is only a school for “rowdies and rough necks", Since he entered State in 1907 many changes have taken place in and about the college, but in spite of this fact it seems State is living under a reputation of ten or twelve years ago. Upon every true State man rests a duty to his college in assisting in this work.
