The S. s. excursion to Spirit
Lake, Tuesday, was great success.
The B. G. R. & N. provided four
coaches for the party, and they were
filed. The train left the depot at $50,
and returned ahead of it's usual time.
The party was accompanied by the
Worthington cornet band. Good
cheer was with the party. We believe
the crowd numbered about 200.
State Supt. Pendergast lectured
before the teachers at the High
School room last Thursday evening.
Mr.. Pendergast did not indulge in
any flights Of oratory, but his remarks
were earnest and showed the speak
er to be broad minded and deep
thinker. His remarks were listened
to with the closest attention, which
showed that his audience was deeply
interested. We wish it had been
possible for every teacher in the coun-
ty to have heard his address.
The Mobiles county teachers COM
pleted four weeks course of study
in the summer school last Saturday.
Work of a very practical nature was
done, much was learned, and the
minds of those who attended were con-
siderably broadened thereby.
The instructors were Mr.. Bomber
ger, of Blue Earth City, whose sub
jects were Arithmetic, Physiology
and Pedagogy; Mr.. Mitchell, of the
St. Cloud Normal School, who han
died Grammar, Geography and Read
ing; and Mr.. Mcguire, County Supt.,
who taught United States History
and Civics. Those who pursued any
course of study through the whole ses-
sion discovered that the instructors in
such knew just how to make the most
of years work in months time
The teachers met on the day prev
ious to the closing of the school and
organized what will be known as the
Mobiles County Teachers Association,
which will have for its object the sys-
temetic pursuit of a course OF study
in Literature, History, Civics, and
Pedagogy, through the coming school
wear. More about this will be pub
lished later. On Saturday, at the
close of the session, number of res
olutions were adopted by the teach
ers, copy of which will be found
in this issue of the ADVANCE.
But the Mobiles county teachers do
not believe in all work and no play.
They were no sooner finished with
their months study than they set
about having social entertain
ment before separating. Saturday
evening music, recitations, and ora
tons were in order, and had justice
done them by their best opponents in
Worthington; the Clark family, the
male quartette, Mr.. A.. Lumm, and
the Worthington band provided the
music; Miss Hall, Miss Rushon, and
Miss Hyland, the Rotations; Doctor
Dolan, Mr.. Mcguire, Mr.. Mitchell,
and Mr.. Bomberger being the orators.
Ice cream and cake closed the enter
tainment and all felt that the month
had been profitably spent.
