SUMMER QUARTER AT METROPOLITAN BEGINS TUESDAY
Downtown College Begins Work July 6th With Large Course Offering
WORK IS GIVEN EVENINGS
Full Credit Courses Include Many of General and Business Interest
Offer Free Work in Penmanhip and Music To Beginners
Two special free opportunities for beginners in penmanship and in music are offered to those of elementary and high school age during the summer session. Students who are acquainted with young people who might wish to take work in either of these branches are asked to tell them of the unusual chance for receiving expert instruction without charge.
Youn* people of high school age are given a chance to enroll for beginning work in music to be given three times a week under Miss Grace Helen Nash of the summer session music staff. Miss Nash, who has had her work published by Schirmer and by Fisher and Company, is remarkably successful in composing music of real interest and usefulness to adult beginners. She wishes to have the pupils fox her class in piano methods for group instruction in high school, and will use her own materials, which are far superior to the usual beginning music matter.
The class will meet at 12 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in room 102 of the high school building, 35th Place and Hoover Street.
Pupils of all elementary ages, and particularly those of the third and fourth grades, may receive expert instruction in penmanship every day from two to three, or from one to three if they wish it, from Miss Mildred Moffett, field representative of Zaner and Bloser Company and penmanship instructor here for the summer session. Miss Moffett's class is held in room 3?2 of the Old College.

Suggestibility is the Product of Child s Training, Says Lecturer
That America as a nation is unduly dependent on the opinions of the majority, and that our training should therefore center about the development of individual independence, was one of the outstanding conclusions indicated yesterday by Dr. John J. B. Morgan of the psychology de partment of Northwestern University, who spoke on “The Social Significance of Suggestibility.” The lecture, the first of the Thursday afternoon series, was held in room 206 of Hoose Hall

“Who in blazes are you?" demanded the faculty.
“Sssssssssssteam shhhhhhhhovel sssssssspeaking,” was the answer. “How did you get here?” “Shhhhhoveling the ssssstreet,” hissed the machine. “Whrrrrrr! Sssss8ss!”
“But why?” insisted the faculty. “What’s it all about?”
“Sssssssstorm drain.”
“Can’t you come back later?” implored the representative. “We can’t hold classes within a hundred yards of you, you know.”
“Sssssorry,” sputtered the beast. “Imposssssssible.”
There was a labored hissing and a clang as a shovel full of asphalt hit the bottom of an empty dump truck.
“Well,” said the faculty. “I guess I’ll have to move my classrooms over to the Old College building. Goodbye, and I hope you won’t be blowing your nose around here too long.”
“Ssssso long,” replied the cheerful shovel. “Sis, sis, sis. Whirrrr. Bang! Sssssss!"
