The MASSASOIT 11 Gditorials Summer Occupations w ' m w ITH the closing of the school year in June, there comes to the til thoughtful student of T. S., mingled with his sighs of relief at the realization of the completion of a year’s study, an added feeling of responsibility for action in the summer that lies before him. It frequently happens that men come to the Training School with some- what less than the necessary funds with which to defray the expenses of a three years’ course. In fact, this is the rule, not the exception, and hence the necessity for obtaining a temporary position that will yield as large a return as possible.

Still others provide themselves with sample outfits and serve in the capacity of agents for stereoscopes, books, maps, aluminum ware, etc. “Representing” H. C. White Co., Underwood Underwood, and other philanthropic firms which exist chiefly as the means of enabling students to earn their way through college, occupies the time and energy of many of our most enthusiastic salesmen. Many return to their homes to assist in farming, carpenter work, machine work, or other trades and occupations in which they served pre- vious to entering upon their training for a professional life. It is indeed a most happy reunion time when students gather from far and near at the opening of school in September, to compare notes and

12 The MASSASOIT exchange observations on the experiences of the summer months. No matter how pleasant and profitable the vacations may have been, the opinion is everywhere expressed that there is no spot on earth as pleasant as the scenes of Dear old T. S., and all are eager for the renewal of the busy hours in the class room, in the study, and on the field. Growth of the School By permission of the editor of Association Men, we take pleasure in reproducing the following paragraph, which appeared in Men, for January, 1 DO. ) : The Springfield Training School has made steady progress. The number of students has increased over (!() per cent, the financial resources over 70 per cent, and the library has practically doubled its capacity. Courses have been added in the secretarial department, in municipal sociology, religious education, principles and methods of Bible teaching.

Two laboratories have been added, one devoted to the physiology of exercise and the other to his- tology. New courses have been added in physiology of exercise, in hygiene, fencing and wrestling. The field work has been considerably increased. Ninety-nine men have graduated from the three years ' course of study, and a considerable number have taken from one to two years ' training. Seven alumni have entered work in foreign lands. Of the 519 general secretaries employed in the United States and Canada 07, or one eighth of the number, are alumni of the school.
