The board OF education has de-
clded to establish in the. state seven
summer or short-term Normal In
stitutes for the benefit of teachers desir-
Ing to further qualify themselves for their
important work. The said institutes will
be located at the following named places
Tyler, Waxahachie, Gainesville, Salado,
San Marcos, Moscow and Prairie View.
They Will be organized on the first Mon
day in July, and will continue until the
third Friday in August. The places for
location ofthese institutes have been Sc
lected with view to cheap board, health
fulness and easy accessibility. The ex-
penses of the institutes, except board, will
be betrayed by,funds granted by Dr. j. L.
Nj CnrrV- general n 10 Poahohv
fund. Teachers attending these institu-
tions will receive such certificate or diplo-
mas as may be determined properto grant, |
and the governor will recommend at the |
next session of the legislature an act
validating said certificates or diplomas,
county, city or town in the state. 1t |
is expected that all earnest and pro-
gressive teachers in this state |
will cordially cooperate in making |
these institutes a decided success. Each |
institute will be under the control of ex-
perts, trained to normal work. Hon. o. |
n. Hollingsworth has received assurances |
from several places that have been selected |
that board, including washing, will be |
furnished at the rate of So. 80 per month, |
and IL is believed that similar cheap rates |
will be furnished at all points selected. |
Arrangements are now being made |
with view to securing reduced rates on |
railroads to these schools. Full particu- |
lars will be given in due time by the |
press of the state and Journal Of Educa-
tion, published by Hon. o. n. Holdings |
worth. The press of the state are re-
quested to make liberal notices of the
above institutes.
