The hike will be much more attractive this coming summer due to the fact that the new trail has been completed as far as Emerald lake which will make it possible for any; ordinary hiker who will take his time to enjoy the magic glory of the upper cirques. The rail is carved out of the mountainside on a 20 per cent grade, and it is doubtful if there is a trail in the entire nation that for the same climb presents so many real beauties to the falls, mountain lover. From that beautiful double cataract at the base of the mountain, to the lake itself the trail passes through a wonder- " ' o i so much sweat and pep out of the greatly-appreciate- up-to-d- " week. By DR. HUGH M. WOODWARD Dean of the B. Y. .U Summer School. The Brigham Young university has, for many years, been noted for its very efficient, thorough-goin- g training in professional education, but with the expansion of the university into other colleges, and the organization of a graduate division, the opportunities for training in educational leadership and other lines have been greatly enlarged. Advanced Students Form Graduate Club. forty-fiv- e . Last summer graduate students took courses at the university leading to master's degrees. These men were so well pleased with the high standard of the work offered, and so impressed with the possibilities of making the "Y" summer school a center for higher professional training, that they organized into a "Y" Gradaute club, with the avowed purpose of bringing before the educators of the five intermountain states the unique opportunity offered for training in leadership a leadership which embraces a high scholastic attainment coupled with the spirit of service and constructive organizing ability. The earnest and conscientious effort of these students has already produced results which incidate that the number will be greatly increased during the coming summer. It is expected that from eighty to one hundred graduate students will be in attendance, and an enrollment from six hundred to one thousand. While the course offered last year gave satisfaction, and the work of Dr. Devine and Professor Rugh was much appreciated, the graduate curriculum for 1923 will be enriched and extended to other colleges besides the College of Education. It is expected that from three to six men of national standing outside of the regular faculty, will be connected with the school. Specialists are being brought so that public school teachers may receive the same class of work here that they can by going either east or west. Wherever possible, the features of the school are being organized. Last summer, everyone expressed their delight in so much opportunity to get in contact with the wonders and and beauties of nature, from the entertaining and instructive trips on Utah lake to the climb on Timpanogos mountain. The laboratory work will be even better organized for the coming summer. Last summer theecture course at the Brigham Young university was Leading educators of the state spoke on various subjects grouped under Educational week, Better Home and Health week, Community Service week, Scout and Beehive week, etc. It is the intention to increase the number of lecturers for the coming summer. The subjects will be divided into various groups such as the recent tendencies in physical science, recent tendencies in biological science, recent tendencies in philosophy and religion, recent tendencies in art and literature, the pressing educational problems that are confronting the American people at this time. The subject matter in these groups will make it possible to hear the message of many of the outstanding scientists and educators of the state. It is also expected that lecturers of national standing, from outside of the state, will be enlisted along with our state educators. It is expected that this course of lectures will bring students in touch with the most and vital aspects-- of these various lines of thought. In other words, in this brief course of lectures, it will be possible to get the conclusions resulting from a life study in these most interesting and practical fields. The phenomenal success of the Alpine summer school has established it as a permanent institution. Situated as it is in a region rich in opportunities for scientific research and pleasurable study during ihe hot season, it constitutes a unique and enjoyable Mecca of learning for students from a wide district. For some years, a large research class in plant ecology from the University of Chicago has come west for field work. Negotiations are now under way to have this class, with its professor, join the "Y" students and the faculty at the Alpine school. ,. I music, Florence Jepperson Madsen; teacher training, L.

Next summer the Alpine summer school will be well established at Aspen Grove which bespeaks for the hikers more and more comforts. Although the summer school cafeteria served well last year, better understanding of the needs of the situation will make it possible for It to serve even better next year. hikers 4 -- 4 LEADERSHIP WEEK, SCOOT LEADERS ON THE DAILY HIKE, m 1922.
