L. Bliss. principal of the Henderson school,
was at the capitol Yesterday on his way home
from the summer school at Glenwood. He
says: We have had fOrty-tWO enrolled at
the summer school. It has been pleasant
and enthusiastic session. Iver j. Lee, our
county SUPERINTENDENT, is much pleased. and
the students passed resolutions Of thanks to
their instructors. However, ii seems to me
that the only desirable preparation for teach
ing a course IS in some good established
school If the summer school is used merely to
hriuhfnfa .hn teachers II q good
thing; but if il Is used as the sole and only
means to fitting one s self for teaching, 1t is
TO be condemned

Superintendent Of Schools y. f. EngstrOm
of GOodhue county, called on Supt Kiehle
yesterday. 1t speaking of the summer
school at Cannon Falls, Mr.. Engstrom says:
This is the first summer the thing has been
tried, and am heartily in favor of summer
schools. They are as much better than the
old teachers institutes as four is greater than
one. During our four weeks session we
had ffty-siX enrolled. The morning session
was given over 10 recitation. the afternoon 10
illustration. We had a class Of sixteen chill
dren of five years or over. who had never
been TO school before. Their progress under
a first-class teacher was marvellous. The op-
pOrtunty was thus afforded the country
teachers of seeing the actual methods of ex-
pert teachers, and great good Will result.
The summer school surs the teachers up To
study and perfect themselves in their work.
and many have already ordered books and
mapped out courses OF study for next win
