Our Institute this year promises to be
one of unusual interest. With the
hearty cooperation of teachers, stu

have one of the best Institutes ever

sive city, and her citizens are wide
awake to the schools interest. They
have arranged to care for the Normal
students at the very lowest Iates and
will provide for their every want.
Every teacher who hopes to keep
up with the times is expected to at
tend, and all who are interested in
educational work are invited to at
tend. Let us have a grand enroll
ment.

bounded vitality, enthusiasm and
ability. Mr.. Olin is graduate of a
number of State Schools and has
made special preparation on the sub

Mrs. Kate Myler, of Moran, is so we'll
known and her work in last summers
institute so highly appreciated that
any remarks from us would seem
superfiuous. Mrs Myler has spent
the last year studying along the line
of work which she will take mere this

more highly equipped than ever.
