ne State summer. training school
convened at the Princeton high school
for a months work last Monday. There
were about twenty-five teachers pres
entEE at the opening. session, and this
number was augmented by the arrival
OF several more teachers on Tuesday,
SO that the total registration at the
close OF school on Tuesday was thirty
three. County Superintendent Van
Worlner says that there will probably
be an attendance of about forty at the
school during the session. At the
training school held in Princeton two
years ago the attendance was thirty
eight the first week and the total at
tendance was forty-eight. The attend
ance is about what Mr.. VanWormer
figured on, as it was not to be ex-
pected that there would be very large
attendance as so many of the Mile
Laos county teachers are non-residents.
Edgar George, Superintendent the
city schools Of Mortified, is conductor
Of institute work. He is assisted by
Mrs. @. E. Guthrie, and Mrs. Claire
Galley who has the class in vocal music.
Prof. Geo. G. Hubbard, teacher of
biology in the State normal school at
ST. Cloud, was to have been member
of The faculty, but the fact that no
high school work was taken up by the
teachers, and the course of study was
consolidated so that his services were
not needed. He was sent to Winona
where he will assist in State training
school work. The class in vocal music
was taken up under the instruction of
Mrs. Galley on the suggestion of Prof.
George. who was acquainted with her
work in the schools of Mortified, and
the consent of the State superintendent
was secured. Every teacher in attend
ance is member Of the class in music
and are taking much interest in the
same. The studies in grammar and U.
S. history which were divided each in
to two sections forstudy have been con
solidated. There is no class in physi-
ology at all, as the teachers did not
seem to care to take up this study, one
Of the most important in school work.
OF the higher studies there is only one
class and that is in algebra.
The teachers in attendance up to the
present time are as follows:
Maud Bradford, Amelia Radeke

The training school work is appor-
toned among the instructors as fol-
lows: Prof. George has the classes in
geography, reading and algebra, while
Mrs. Guthrie has grammar, history
and arithmetic, and Mrs. Galley vocal
music.
During the institute there will be a
few lectures and addresses by promin-
ent educators of the State. One of the
most interesting of these lectures will
be the one to be delivered next Tues
day before the institute by Prof. R.

literature OF Hamline university. Mr..
Cooper has series Of lectures that he
delivers under the auspices of the
Columbian Lyceum bureau. They are

Boys, Who They are and What Shall
We Do With Them" ''The Uses of

known what the topic of his lecture
will be- but it will be interesting.
About the first of August VIM. Robert
son of the State agricultural school,
will be present and lecture on ''In-
structions in Agriculture in Public
Schools" There may be other lee
lures.
