June 2, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 51 N. T. SUMMER SESSION STARTS MONDAY, JUNE 18 140 Public School Pupils Enroll; Registration to Equal Half That of Winter Term Preliminary registration for the sum- mer school at New Trier High school has now been completed and immedi- ately following commencement final enrollment will be rushed so as to per- mit the starting of actual class work at the very outset of the summer ses- sion on June 18. More than 140 graduates of public schools of the township will begin their high school careers on June 18 and, with the added enrollment of New Trier students, it is anticipated that the registration will reach 775 people this year, according to Wesley IL. Brown, director of the summer session. This enrollment represents a gain of about seventy-five pupils over last summer and is nearly half the membership of the regular school year just being completed. Extends Eight Weeks Summer school, extending as usual for eight weeks, from June 18 to, August 10, seems to be becoming more and more popular with High school students. It is arranged so-as to have the classes meet between the hours of 8 and 12:30 o'clock or during the cool part of the day and so that the en- tire session will be over to allow a four weeks' vacation from any school work, thus providing an excellent op- portunity for educational advance- ment without proving to be a burden in any way. Many of the students, a survey dis- closes, regard it as a pleasurable part of their vacation activity. Many who do not need summer school credit are found in attendance because they enjoy some mental activity during the vaca- tion months, or because they wish to accumulate some advance credit as an insurance against possible sickness, failure or extended absence. Take "Extra" Classes Moreover, many studegts find that, because of their closely prescribed courses, they cannot take some of the special subjects that they desire to take during the winter term and utilize the summer session for this purpose. There are others who at- tend summer school because they need extra credits to enable them to go on with their classes. - With the summer school opportuni- ties as now provided, there is very little necessity--formerly so common-- for. any student to take longer than four years to complete his high school work. This has proven a boon to those students who find the "going hard" and who would otherwise have to spend five years to complete their high school education. The universal appeal of the sum- mer session is to the good student as well as to the poor student and the registration is advancing at the rate of about one hundred a year. Stu- dents who are contemplating enter- ing summer school are urged to regis- ter at once so that they may obtain the classes that they desire and to aid in making it possible for the classes to begin at the very opening of the summer session. Mrs. Charles I. Trumbull and her children will leave on June 20 for their summer home at Old Mission, Mich.
