Third Term The Third Term of the School Year is only ten Weeks in length 5 but the term's schedule is so ar- ranged that practically the same amount of work is covered as during the other seventeen Week terms. In order that the stipulated amount of instruction may be satisfactorily completed, during the ten Weeks, the student receives practically double the usual number of private and class lessons each Week throughout the Third Term. A five-Week vacation intervenes between the close of the Third Term and the opening of the Fall Term. - Summer School Session THE SHORT SIX-WEEK SUMMER COURSE is in- tended for those who desire a short but thorough course of drill and coaching on repertoire or review Work. Nearly all of the instruction consists of priv- ate lessons and the course can thus be adapted to the student's particular desires and needs. This course will grant Three Private Lessons each week, also two class theoretical lessons each Week. If interested send for the Special Summer School Catalogue.
