in public school experience. About twenty children will be chosen as illustrative cases. They will be given expert training not only in school work of the ordinary kind, but in games, hand work and gymnastics for the purpose of quickening their perceptions, clearing their imagery, improving their muscular coördination and general tonus. Experienced teachers in charge of the class will demonstrate the most modern methods of dealing with mental deficiency. The majority of the children will be typical cases of retardation such as any teacher may find in her class room, or any mother may find in her home. 2 units.

7. Folk Dancing for Playgrounds. A practical course in folk dances selected and arranged to meet the needs of the playground and schoolroom. Special attention will be given to the methods of presenting folk dances to children. The folk dances of the various nations; their analysis; and a discussion of their origin and meaning. Dances which meet the physical, moral and social requirements and yet are sufficiently simple to be thoroughly enjoyed by children without a large amount of practice. These dances supply a natural outlet for the spontaneous rhythmic expression of the child. Care has been exercised in the selection of dances which by actual observation appeal most strongly to the child and should occupy a permanent place in the child's social hour. These simple dances are a charming element in any course in physical education. 1 unit.

GEOGRAPHY

WILLIAM G. REED, M.A., Instructor in Climatology.

CARY T. WRIGHT, M.S., Instructor in Commercial Geography.

The courses in geography are planned, broadly speaking, to cover the topics included in the ordinary text-book in physical geography, with the exception of mathematical or astronomical geography. No attempt is made, however, to treat all of the minor details, the aim being rather to give a thorough discussion of essentials. The lectures on land forms are supplemented by the field course which will include the interesting localities near Berkeley and also the unusually perfect series of elevated ocean beaches near Santa Cruz. In connection with course 103 qualified students will be given, as far as the regular work of observation will permit, an opportunity to see and to use the instruments of the Meteorological Station maintained by the department of geography. All of the courses are primarily for students who have had some training in geography and lower division students from the regular session will not be admitted without permission from the instructor.

Excursions to the waterfront of San Francisco and Oakland, including a visit to a trans-Pacific liner, if sailing dates will permit; selected readings from recent commercial publications, United States Government reports, the reports of various harbor-governing bodies, etc. 2 units.
