SUMMER SCHOOL.
A Large Number of Teachers In At
Observation-Disclosures

opened at Hancock hall Monday, by State
superintendent of Schools w. w. Stetson.
Hancock hall has been fitted with desks
for the teachers attending the school, and
Supt. Stetson expresses himself as more
than pleased with all the arrangements
| OF the school. He says better room has
never been provided for the summer
schools.
Supt. Stetson was also pleased with the
interest in the school manifested by the
people OF Ellsworth, with the attention
shown teachers and instructors, and par
ticularly with the provisions for their en-
tertainment made by the copmittee hay
ing that in charge.
The school opened Monday morning
with about sixty In attendance. This was
swelled to 100 in the afternoon, and on
Tuesday morning the number reached
nearly $50. Supt. Stetson is pleased with
the representation of teachers, who he
says are Of sterling quality, and here for
the real good they can get out OF the
school, rather than for amusement or
recreation. They have taken hold Of the
work earnestly, says the superintendent,
and the Ellsworth summer school is bound
to be a success. Hancock, Washington,
Penobscot, Waldo and Somerset counties
are represented; and not Maine alone, but
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and far-of
Oregon.

9 to II a. M, and 1.30 to 4.30 p. m. The
meetings re open to the public, and the

modern school methods, OF which many
