The Academy will hold summer term
OF ten weeks commencing the middle of
June and continuing ten weeks. 1t is de-
signed especially for teachers, and the
course will be fashioned with view to
giving needed instruction in both the
methods of teaching and the matter to
be taught. The commercial and bust
ness features of the course will be con-
tinued, as at present including penmar-
ship, bookkeeping, short hand and type
writing. The institution is the better

time and money to better advantage
than by taking this special course. That

sured-the Academy does all it's work
