 YOUR SUMMER VACATION 
 
 In a few months summer will be with us 
 again, and each of us will soon be compelled 
 to decide definitely what he intends to do dur- 
 ing these short months of our vacation. As us- 
 ual, there are several possibilities. We may 
 use our time in a way that will be most bene- 
 ficial to us during the following year, or we 
 may idle away the time in waiting for the new 
 fall term to open, It requires no super intellect 
 to decide the correct course to follow, but it 
 does require courage, ambition, and a sincere 
 desire to advance ourselves for the benefit of 
 others, to choose the road that will lead us in 
 that direction, 
 
 yYOUSWICE SEsIN RE REST D 
 IN THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS COURSES 
 OFFERED AT IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 During the past year you have no doubt 
 been confronted with problems you would like 
 to thresh out. You have had a desire to learn 
 how the other fellow has successfully worked 
 out problems that you see looming ahead of 
 you, Possibly you may see a need for ad- 
 vanced work in your specific field. These are 
 just a few of the reasons why you will be in- 
 terested in the Industrial Arts courses offered 
 during the summer months at Iowa State Col- 
 lege. 
 
 TO THE TEACHER 
 
 Iowa State College has become a mecca each 
 summer for the Industrial Arts teachers of 
 Iowa and surrounding states. The more remote 
 states have their quota, and even Canada has 
 sent her representatives. A more ideal situa- 
 tion could not exist for the teacher who desires 
 
to come in contact with others engaged in his 
 specific kind of work. This contact enables 
 him to broaden his views, to grasp new ideas, 
 and is an inspiration toward greater achieve- 
 ment. 
 
 Development is at present the kKey-note in all 
 Manual Arts teaching. If you are now a 
 teacher, you know that much improvement has 
 been made in the past few years, and you see 
 the need for additional advancement. It will 
 come only thru the efforts of the teachers 
 themselves, Any teacher who wishes to be a 
 factor in the forward movement, can accom- 
 plish much in spending at least a part of his 
 summer at Iowa State College, 
 
 THE SUMMER TEACHING STAFF 
 
 The teaching staff at Iowa State College is 
 practically the same during the summer as for 
 the remainder of the school year. It is the 
 custom of the college to retain the heads of de- 
 partments and other professors for conducting 
 work thru the summer months. This is only 
 an added reason why you should select Iowa 
 State College for your summer work, since it 
 will enable you to come in contact with its 
 regular teaching staff who are specialists in 
 their respective fields. 
 
 SUMMER RECREATION 
 
 A Summer Session student has ample oppor- 
 tunity for recreation. His time need not all 
 be spent in hard work. The Summer Session 
 Activities Committee arranges a wide variety 
 of recreational and instructive activities, which 
 include social gatherings, athletic activities, 
 plays, lectures, recitals, conferences, excur- 
 sions, etc. Those interested will find ample op- 
 portunity for swimming, tennis, golf, handball, 
 and other sports during their leisure hours.

 of Iowa State College and desire a copy of the
