Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from University Summer It is interesting to note that the universities were the first to see the importance of the use of the summer season as indicated by the experience of what we may term the "recreational summer school." Harvard University was probably the pioneer, for the courses offered by Dean Shaler were the first collegiate instruction assigned to the summer season. Other universities, notably Columbia University, soon after established summer courses, and, exceeding Harvard in the liberality of recognition of such courses as giving credit for the degrees, early made their summer instruction an integral part of the work of the year. The idea, therefore, has had an ever-increasing acceptance in the universities of the country. It has spread more slowly, however, to other educational institutions, such as normal schools and other institutions under public control. Nevertheless, there is a general acceptance of the idea, and the custom may now be said to be prevalent, especially in the more important institutions of learning. This is not true, however, of the secondary and elementary schools, as the practice varies widely in different communities. It is most unusual to find the graded schools following a winter program in the summer. One important reason for this is the eagerness of teachers to enter the university summer schools from which they would be excluded if their own graded schools were open as usual during this season. The severity of summer weather does not permit school exercises which are familiar to the other seasons. In consequence, wherever elementary schools are open the program is very brief and the character less serious than is the custom at other times of the year. The modified program is appropriate for these summer public schools. Classification of Summer Schools. When we attempt to classify summer schools we find great difficulty. Nevertheless, we may follow the usual classification of university and collegiate institutions, normal schools, schools independent of established educational institutions, and finally the secondary and elementary schools which furnish education at public expense. Of these I have already referred to the graded and secondary schools. The so-called "independent schools" frequently offer summer sessions but only when there is a special demand and when this demand will furnish means for the maintenance of the school or for profit. Many preparatory schools are open in the summer so as to meet the needs of students who hope to pass entrance examinations in the fall. Normal schools in some States supported at public expense are open in summer, especially where the teachers need further professional instruction and are unable to attend the universities or to find in them the courses which they need.
