training school they ever attended Any

Om superintcndrnts. Mcssrs. Rocholl,

from the teachers for seeing that they
we've not burdcncd with lot Of new
books, aud were not limited to ANY par
ticular text hooks. Every teacher in
attendance SO far as is known liked this
method mMch better.
The results obtained from this school
go loug way toward PRAYING that the
instructors should know something al
each others methods and ways. There
is then no valuable time lost in finding
, out the wliiuus OF each.

Messrs. Willis Z. Johnson. z. P. Col
grove and Miss Mary E. Patterson de-
serve praise for their untiring efforts.
The confidential way in which teachers
moved among them meant much to the
observing eye.
N. K. Weber, one OF our own number,
had charge of Il class of beginners in
music and Geo. c. Hubbard had charge
Of the advanced class. o. E. McFadon
of Minneapolis, was with US the second
week and had charge of the music dur
ing that time. The work of all was
highly appreciated.
There were TIA teachers enrolled and
an unusually large per cent. received per-
feet marks on their certificates Of attend
ance.
Our superintendent had a certificate
with this motto: Common schools the
hope OF our country" at the top. and
OIL it are recorded the standings Of the
teacher to whom the certifcatei is issued.
The certificate is signed by all the in
structors and the county superintendent.
The school was so highly successful
that all thought it to be at least little
reward TO the Instructors to adopt reso-
lutions showing their appreciation of
the work done.
On the last day a secret session was
held and committee OF six 1.-TWO from
each county, was appointed to draft
resolutions and to have them appear in
print.
The resolutions were adopted by a
rising vote of the whole school and each
OF the instructors made few well chosen
remarks. Thus closed one of the best
training schools of which we know.
