between those who do and those who
do not attend summer schools, that it's
unnecessary to discuss it here. You
may be high school graduate, col
lege graduate, University graduate.
but unless you have taken a special
course in methods of teaching children
how and what to read, how to, write
and spell, what to give them in Ian
guage and geography, how to teach
them to think upon questions in arith-
metic, and above all, questions OF NOR
ais, you are ill prepared to do the
work and your place will soon be oc-
cupied by more progressive, more

These lectures will be given in Sec
tions and most likely in the afternoon.
Text Books-Pm frequently asked,
What text books are to be used? Bring
whatever text books you have bearing
on the subjects you wish to study.
Bring with you your books on peda-
gogy and elementary pedagogy; they
can be used as reference works. Come
prepared to study the subjects you
know you must teach but feel you
ought to know more about the way,
the how and desire for more light.
Corps of lnstructors-The State has
been very liberal in the assignment of
able and trained instructors for our
school. Mr.. E. V. Brokaw (conductor)
superintendent of Litchfeld public
schools for eight years; Miss Amy
Tanner of St. Paul, graduate of the
Chicago U; Mr.. E. H. Beckman, prin-
cipal of the High school at Saltwater,

the High school at Litchfeld; Mr.. G.
H. Congdon of st. Paul, supervisor of
vocal music in public schools of st.
Paul for six years; E. H. Carlton of
St. Paul, supervisor of drawing.
The grades of work to be done
There must of necessity be classes OF
two kinds-Those who have had much
experience and those who have had
none. Those who know fairly we'll
the subject and those who are still un-
acquainted with essentials.
What Shall | Study?'-No one
should try to take more than three
subjects such as arithmetic, U. S. his
tory, geography, English grammar,
civics, physiology, algebra and physics,
which require intensive study. Botany,
music, drawing, penmanship, peda-
gogy, reading and dictionary work are
lighter subjects, some of which may
be selected in connection with three
solid subjects. The school will open
July l3, at 2 p. m. Be on hand at
| the hour and remain to the end.
Provide yourself with good SER
viceable note book. One that you
will refer to when having gone back
into the schoolroom. You ought to
plan your work so that when you
shall have finished the four weeks you
can say you have grown somewhat
broader. You will have added some
new ideas and will have partaken of {
deeper desire to become more studi
