158 Bird -Lore 



In the summer schools there are ordinarily no entrance requirements such 

 as those of the regular year, although since the work is designed for mature 

 minds, children are not usually admitted. The buildings and equipment of the 

 regular college year are ordinarily employed in the summer and often the 

 faculty is the same. Individual work on the part of the students is always 

 encouraged and often proves a most interesting part of the summer program. 

 Anyone planning to attend one of the summer schools should write either to 

 the director of the summer school or to the person in charge of the bird-work 

 for a complete announcement of the summer school in which he will find full 

 particulars as to admission, fees, living expenses, and the like.
