The variation in attend- ance in the summer sessions is due largely to the change in the method of certification of teachers in the state. Column IV shows the significant fact that except for the years immediately fol- lowing the World War practically a steady increase in the number of students has taken place from year to year, and it is a notable fact that the college has built up a student body of more than eight hundred students within the first twenty years of its exist- ence. Columns HI and V show the spread of the student body over the state. Partic- ularly in column V there is shown a steady increase in the number of counties served by this institution each year from its begin- ning to the present. It is noticeable that for the last four years an average of eighty-five out of the hundred counties in Virginia have been represented in the student body. Our records show that a number of states besides Virginia have been served by this institution each year, never less than five states besides Virginia being represented in the student body in any one year and as many as fifteen states besides Virginia.
