The Summer School again showed a marked increase in its total attendance, the numbers for the first time surpassing 1000. Whereas the attendance last year was 916 the number this summer totalled 1044, a substantial gain of 128. The proportion of men and women students remained relatively about the same, there being 495 men to 549 women, instead of the 446 men and 470 women enrolled in 1915.

The enrollment of women as in former years, somewhat exceeds that of the men, due principally to the large number of women who come to Cambridge for Dr. Sargent's courses in physical education. However in the regular academic courses the men students are noticeably in the majority. One hundred thirty-two University undergraduates attended, only those with satisfactory collegiate records being permitted to take the regular courses, while undergraduates of other colleges totalled 97.

The bulk of the attendance was composed of teachers and school officials, from universities, normal schools, preparatory schools, public and private, and kindergartens, together with supervisors, superintendents and principals, their number reaching 424 or about 40 per cent of the total. The largest group, 218, was made up of students in the physical education courses, which included instructors in college and school gymnasiums, supervisors of playgrounds, and others similarly employed.
