IN THE PIT
The Culver Rifle Range is probably the best and most completely equipped range afforded by any private school in the United States.
favorable conditions existing at Culver. The broad- ening influence of this intermingling of boys from widely separated localities is in itself not the least amongst the advantages offered by the school. Par- ents who are going abroad or who contemplate other plans necessitating separation from their children during the summer may place them at Culver with the comfortable assurance that they will be as well eared for as if they were in their own homes.
Rifle Practice and Record of Culver Summer Naval School Team, Summer 1911
We are no longer a nation of riflemen. The average citizen knows nothing of the modern high power rifle and the delieate art of adjusting it at the long ranges to varying conditions of light, windage, and temperature. Every boy, therefore, who is taught to fire with accuracy is not only benefitted by the training of his eye and the cultivation of judg- ment and patience, but at once becomes an additional safeguard of the pcaee of the nation.
Praetiee is given to all cadets. A special course for cadets desiring addi- tional instruetion in rifle practice is given as follows: Slow and rapid fire at 200 and 300 yards. Slow fire at 500, 600, 800 and 1,000 yards. Practice in skirmish- firing as prescribed in the new Small Arms Firing Regulations U. S. A. During the past year one new target carrier was installed, making four in all. One target will be assigned to each division. Practice for beginners will be held on the sub- target machine. Competitions with teams from the National Guard are held during the summer.
Medals are given for the first three places in the Individual Championship Match which is held about the middle of the term. This mateh is open to all cadets of both naval and cavalry schools and is held under the following conditions: One skirmish run of 20 shots. Rapid fire at 200 yards. Slow fire at 200, 600 and 1,000 yards. Last year's team attended the Indiana National Guard Matehes held at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.

Tuxis System
This system was used for the past two summers with marked success. Unlike most school systems of award, it does not give prizes to the boy who makes a fine record in some one thing, for which he already has talent, but on the contrary rewards the boy for gaining those things which are necessary to his all-round development.
In order to win a Tuxis ornament, the eadet must get a certain number of credits in every phase of his school training,-athletic, academie, aquatic, military. These credits or points are gained through certain tests. He need not be a star in any one of these things, but he must reach a certain standard in all. The system gives the means of reaching the standard as well as the incentive. It shows the boy how he meas- ures up with his fellows in a general test, and enables him to gain the things which he lacks.
A booklet giving all of the tests and points required is issued Cadets on entrance.

AN OPEN AIR PERFORMANCE BY THE FAMOUS BEN GREET PLAYERS
This excellent company presented at Culver last summer "She Stoops to Conquer" and "The Merchant of Venice." The modern revival of the latter was first made by Mr. Ben Greet's Company under the auspices of the Elizabethan Stage Society of London and later brought to America. The school considers these plays one of the educational features of the session and was gratified to note the evident enjoyment and appreciation on the part of the cadets of both the literary and artistic quality of the performances.
Swimming Instruction Every cadet is taught to swim under an ex- perienced instructor, who has been in the school since the beginning and has never failed in the course of eight weeks to make a cadet proficient in swimming. Cadets who al- ready know how to swim are taught to improve their stroke
Absence of Hazing is not Hazing tolerated. strong senti- ment against the practice is A SWIMMING CLASS Showing method of suspending beginners while learning stroke cultivated in the corps of cadets. The few who may not be amenable to this in- fluence are deterred for the most part by the vigilance of the officers and by the knowledge that if detected in any form of hazing whatever they will be promptly dismissed. The result is that few schools, if any, can frankly lay claim to greater freedom from this practice.
Lectures and Entertainments
An attractive and instructive feature of the summer course is provided in the weekly lectures and entertainments. Lectures that are of a purely instructive character will be given in the morning academic period, and in the evening, only those that are more entertain- ing in character or intended purely as an amusement.
The early printing of the catalogue prevents a full announcement herein. This will be made later in a special printed programme. The range and dis- tinguished character of this feature of the summer course, however, is indicated by last summer's pro- gramme, which included such distinguished men as Rear Admiral Ross, U. S. N., and Mr. Ernest Thomp- son Seton, and such entertainments as the Ben Greet Open Air Players, Wm. Sterling Battis, famous impersonator of Dickens' characters, M. R. C. Knowles' illustrated lecture, Old Worlds through New Eyes, ctc. The programme for the coming summer will be of equal interest.
Half-hour talks from members of the Faculty on such subjects as Shall I go to College, Suggestions for a Systematic Course of Reading, The Advantage of Studying Modern Languages, The Value of the Study of Mathematics, etc., will be given occasionally during the forenoon periods.

ONE OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL DANCES A pleasant social event of weekly occurrence.
40
An excellent band is organized each summer with a nucleus of pro- fessional musicians, and provides music for military ceremonies, dances, etc. Several scholarships are offered to boys who are thoroughly competent musicians.
Amusements The sehool appre- eiates the advan- tage to growing boys during the summer season of the relaxation and refreshment to be obtained from wholesome amusements, and provides these liberally. The band gives a concert on the grounds each Monday evening. An open air "sing" in which all cadets may THE BAND participate, illustrated with stereop- tieon views and moving pictures, and with special seleetions by glee club and band, is given under the trees onee per week. Dances are given in the gymnasium on each Wednesday evening. To these are invited the friends of the cadets and the residents of the charming summer homes about the lake. These dances prove the source of a great deal of enjoyment, and while cadets are not required to attend them, they are encouraged to do so, as it is believed that participation in these social amuse- ments is valuable in giving them that ease of manner and modest self-confidence which will mean so much to them in after life.
Cadets are given frequent opportunities to take their friends for pleasure sails in the cutters.
FORMAL GARDEN
The gymnasium, in which the cadet dances are given, opens on a formal garden, affording a cool and attractive promenade during intermissions.

THE BATHING PIER
The pier is fitted with every possible device to add to the pleasure of the bathing hour. Among these are "shoot-the-chutes," rings, trapeze, water polo, diving standards of various heights, and special devices for suspending beginners while learning the strokes. The beach slopes gently for three or four hundred yards from the shore, and there is no very deep water about the pier; yet to avoid any possibility of accident, the bathing masters are always present in boats watching the bathers, and ready to lend instant assistance should need arise.

Terms The cost of the complete term is $150.00, payable on entrance of the cadet. This charge covers - board, tuition, studies, music, laboratory Work, swimming, the naval course, boxing, fencing, danc- ing, twenty-four pieces of laundry per week, use of library, gymnasium, etc., and course of entertainments. There are no extras. The cost of complete uniform and equipment, as described above is $38.00.
The extreme moderateness of the terms will at once be appreciated when it is considered that they would be excecded by the charge for board alone in any summer hotel offering the ad- vantages of the acad- emy's fireproof bar- racks, with its con- venience of plumb- ing and furnishings, and of the beautiful cadet mess hall, prob- ably the finest in the world, with its ex- cellent fare.

It is of easy access, eighty-four miles from Chicago, thirty-three miles from Logansport and South Bend, and 110 miles from Indianapolis. Culver is a summer tourist point, to which round trip tickets are sold at a reduced rate.
Nickel Plate All trains stop at Hibbard, two miles north of the acad- emy, including fast trains, which stop to let off pas- sengers from Chicago or from Fort Wayne or points east; also to take on passengers for these points. Carriages will meet visitors at Hib- bard if telegram or letter is sent to "Pontius, Culver, Indiana."
When the youngster has finished his summer at Culver, he has learned to sail and row a boat, he has put on a beautiful coat of tan, "he is as hard as nails," he has had a good time from start to finish, and he has worked in a little systematic study without wanting to make faces at it. He is better refreshed and more wholesomely prepared for the school year than if he had spent the summer in the usual vaca- tion programme.
