SUMMER SCHOOL AT A. AND M.
COLLEGE
The Summer Session of the Col
lege affords a great opportunity for
students in the regular session as
well as for those who can attend only
during the summer. This is true es
pecially for the students of agricul
ture, agricultural education, indus
trial education, and mechanical en
gineering.
Provision will be made for stu
dents in other subjects as the de
mand increases.
The Summer Session of the Col
lege is composed of two terms of six
weeks each. The recitations per
week in the regular College courses
are increased so as to enable a stu
dent to complete a semester’s work
in a subject in six weeks. In this
way, a student may be able to carry
two or three, subjects each term,
working in a very intensive way.
The advantage of the Summer Ses
sion to the student,' who for any
reason is irregular or deficient, is ap
parent. Some students will able to
save a year by attending two or
more summer sessions. Many stu
dents in the agricultural courses are
disappointed that they cannot get all
the work they would like to study.
So many lines of interesting work
look up in the Junior and Senior
years and make an appeal for the
time of the student. A summer term
will enable a student to increase his
time for taking work he really wants.
To those interested in teaching, the
Summer School makes still another
appeal. Much better salaries are
usually available for a teacher with
successful teaching experience, than
to the inexperienced teacher. A
summer of twelve weeks will enable
a student to take off a half year dur
ing the Senior year to gain experi
ence in a good high school on pay
and make six hours of credit toward
graduation. This experience in
teaching under the supervision of
the Department of V ocational Teach
ing will add to the initial salary af
ter graduation.
The Ume has passed when an elab
orate and expensibe plant like the
A. and M. College will be idle for
three months in the summer. The
activities of the College during the
summer are becoming more and
more varied and important. The
enumeration of the following events
will indicate something of the im
portance of the summer activities:
Summer Session of the College,
Rural Life School, School of Cotton
Classing, Engineering Summer Prac
tice, Summer Normal, Rural Life
Conference, Farmers’ Short Course,
Farmers’ Congress, Agricultural
Contests of Vocational Schools, Con-
Terence of County Agents, Confer
ence of Teachers of Vocational Ag
riculture, and meeting of Central
Texas Teachers’ Institute (six coun-
i .M....- .
ties.) There is no more need for the
students of the College to take three
months of vacation than for the
members of the teaching staff to
“lay off.” The .next great step for
the College is to adopt a session of
forty-eight weeks and enable the
normal student to complete the
course in three years. The advanced
ideas of conservation will insist that
the State and Nation be not denied
one year of expert service from each
student by the present plan of using
thirty-six weeks a year instead of
forty-eight.

FISH WISDOM
The Fish stood close against the wall
And watched the Sophs go by.
He almost feared to draw his breath,
Because they passed so nigh.
They boasted of the punishment
In store for every “Slime”;
So the Fish he went the other way,
And he went at “double time.”
He knew not what had happened,
But he stopped not to inquire.
Because he knew, from “ ‘ Sper-
ience,”
That with the Sophs went “fire.”
Another rambling Fish he stopped,
When both were safe outside,
To find out why again the Sophs
Had made the Freshmen hide.
The answer, it was quick and true,
And left no room for doubt,
’Cause when the Soph’mores’ beds
are dumped.
It means the Fish “air out.”
’23
My hair leaps up when I behold
A sophomore in the hall.
So did it when the term began;
So does it now it nears the end:
And all between,
The Fish is servant to the Soph,
And I could wish those Sophs to be
Bound hand and foot by Freshman
sovereignty.
