be Held in This City.

be Held in This City.
Supt. S. j. Race returned from Ro
chester, this State, last Saturday. His
mission there was to fill the accept
ance of an invitation to be present a.
the spring meeting of teachers of Ohm
stead county, meeting that brought
in over 200 teachers in the schools Of
that populous county. Mr.. Race stat
ed that it was one of the largest coun-
ty gatherings he had ever witnessed,
and that there was some doubt in his
mind as to whether or not it wouldn't
be better to hold similar meetings in
stead of monthly meetings of teachers
in this county, although number of
the leading teachers of Redwood coun-
ty favored his present plan.
Mr.. Race also conversed interest
ingly on the summer training school
to be he'd in this city, commencing
on Monday, July 25th, late date
made necessary by reason of Mr.. Race,
together with Prof. F. V. Hubbard,
the conductor, desiring to attend the
meeting of the National Educational
Association at Washington, commenc-
ing on July 9TH. 1t is expected that
over 200 teachers will be in attend
ance at the institute, it being the only
one to be held in Redwood and Rem
vile counties this year, and a special
invitation will be given to Renville
county teachers to attend the Redwood
county institute The nearest institute
will be the one at New Ulm, and it is
probable that the Redwood session
will be attended by a number of
Brown county teachers.
The Redwood county institute is
lucky in securing a conductor like
Prof. F. V. Hubbard, formerly of this
city, but now principal of the Red
Wing schools. Mr.. Hubbard is re-
garded as one of the best instructors,
and certainly one of the leading insti-
tute directors in Minnesota. Mr.. Hub
bard will make specially in arith-
metic, algebra, pedagogy, geometry
and physics. He will have three as
sistants, one of them being Miss Maud
Colgrove of the St. Cloud Normal
school, who will instruct in the depart
ments of English grammar, English
literature, reading and United States
history. Miss Colgrove was a special
selection of Supt. Race, who considers
her among the leading educators in
her line in Minnesota.
Miss Mary Deem, supervisor of mu-
sic and drawing in the city schools of
Mankato, will be in attendance
throughout the session, and will give
special instruction in drawing, phys;c-
al culture and music, Miss Louise
Snyder of Minneapolis will give in
struction on primary methods and
kindergarten instruction. Both Miss
Deem and Miss Snyder are regarded
excellent leaders in their line.
Miss Clyde Foster of Moorhead, a
specialist in music, will have charge of
the vocal music department of the in
stitute. She will be here during the
four weeks of the session, and will
give instruction in the elementary
and advance courses of music. Miss
Foster was recommended by Prof. G.
H. Congdon, who was originally sched-
uled for Redwood Falls, but who has
found it impossible to attend.
OF the lecturers Prof. L. G. Lord of
the Moorhead Normal school, will be
present to lecture on literature and
science. Mr.. Lord is regarded as
among the leading members of the
Normal school faculty in the United
States, and he is an exceptionally fine
lecturer. Supt. F. A. Weld of the
Saltwater city schools, will probably
