Great Praise due the Instructors.
Next Saturday one of the most sue
cessful sessions of the Marshall Coun-
ty Teachers Training School will
come to an end. This session has
proved very satisfactory in many re-
spects. The enrolment has been Is,
the average attendance about go, and
So who have already taught have been
in attendance. Two teachers hold
first grade certificates, % hold second
grade and 32 third grade. Two are
Normal school graduates, seven High
school graduates and twelve graduates
Of common schools.
To an outsider the school evidences
many marks of that cordial feeling
which ought to exist in every school.
The instructors speak highly Of the
work on the part Of the teachers of
this5county and the instruction has
been carried on without an iota of
friction. The teachers are equally
pleased with their instructors and
speak in high terms of praise of their
manner of conducting recitations and
choice of subject matter.
The work in English grammar,
Civil government and U. S. History
has been in charge of the conductor,
supt, S. A. Challman, of Detroit.
Two classes in English grammar have
been daily delving into the intricacies
of grammatical construction of our
flexible English. The class in civil
government has made a. particular
study of the state government. In
stead of using a text book where the
matter has been previously served up
in fashion which tells about the
contents of our state documents, the
class has studied these documents
themselves such as they are found in
the legislative manual of the state.
The course has proved very instruct
i've and interesting to those who have
formed the class and an advocate of
women's suffrage would find ample
arguments for his claim that won en-
will understand and take an interest
in the conditions of our political life.
The class in .. S. History has madea
particular stud y of the Civil war, its
causes, events and effects. The slav-
cry issue, the tariff, and the state SOW
ereignty idea, which brought about
the defeat at Bull Run as we'll as the
victories of Shiloh, New Orleans,
Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Appo-
mattox, resulting in changes in the
political, moral and economic condi-
tions of our country and finally weld
ing this nation into one mighty Union,
indissoluble and indestructible, have.
been the topics which have served to
feed the intellect and kindle the pa
triotism of those who are to guide the
coming patriots of the nation.
Mr.C. G.. Hubbard, of the St.
Cloud Normal school, has with credit
to himself and the benefit of his class
es laid bare the mysteries Of science
and simplifed the intricacies of math-
ematics. Percentage with its appli-
cations has been taught with a vim
and exactness that can leave only the
regret that the time for this work
could not be extended to another peri
cd of four weeks. The fundamental
processes of Algebra with its usual
complement of simple equation have
received the onslaught of an earnest
and enthusiastic class with telling
effects. The peculiar transformations
of food into bone, blood, and muscle
have been evolved with scholarly abil-
ity and careful work.. The part which
mother Earth plays in the great solar
system has formed the chief attraction
of the class in physical geography.
In Miss Charlotte Knudson the fac
ulty of the summer school has had
member who will serve to make this
session long remembered by the eff
cient and timely instruction given in
DRAWING.
The work has included pencil
sketching and painting with water
colors. The aim has been merely to.
give those who entered this class
