NORMAL INSTITUTE
IN ANNUAL SESSION
Over One Hundred Teachers IN At.
tendance and Much Interest is
Being Manifested

The Thirteenth Normal Institute
began its annual session Monday
morning July IS with the largest at
tendance in its history, and the ablest
corps of instructors The enthusiasm
of the teachers from the start insures
most profitable and pleasant term
| of two weeks.
Although the sessions are long every
teacher is found in her place-at each
and every session and up to the pres
ent writing there have been 50 enrolled
and it is certain to reach the one hun
dred mark before the close of the
week
We regret that the special lectures
all come next week but owing to the
fact that the lecturers are to visit
other institutes next week we must
be content to get them even at late
date. These lectures are to be given
by DR.. Snyder of the State Normal,
Prof Thomas OF the Agricultural col
lege. Miss Katherine l.. Craig, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and Dr. Sanford Bell of Boulder.
Prof. d. E. Phillips of the Denver
University, is conductor and also in
structs in psychology, arithmetic and
literature His lectures, given every
afternoon, in psychology are exceed
ingly interesting.
Supt Fred Austin conducts gram
mar, history, geography, civics and
school law. His work in music is
especially fine. He succeeds in get
ting every one to sing and the days
work is we'll and happily begun.
Mrs. Gertrude Bell, wife of the
genial DR. Bell merits the praise she
is receiving in her work, and is al
ready great favorite. She has meth
DDS, nature study and photography.
Miss Emily Miles, who is fine
Artist and a woman of great profess
sional skill was here last year and
will be remembered by great num-
Der of Glenwoodites, is again con
Quoting the art and drawing this year.
Miss Martha Hyde, we'll known
primary supervisor of Leadville, has
entire charge of the primary work In
the normal, which has been highly
satisfactory in every respect. One
feature of her work is the presenting
of some new subject for the first time
to an actual class of little folks, who
are brought in for that purpose.
Three of the present corps of in
structors were here last year and
they were SO infatuated with Glen.
wood and Glenwood SO infatuated
with them that the executive COM
mittee had no trouble in persuading
them to be with us this year.
Superintendents from three coun-
ties ale already here and two more
are expected next week.
The reception to the teachers We'd
nesday evening at Dougan's hall was
brilliant success and greatly enjoyed
by all in attendance. Dancing was
the chief event of the evening and
there was freedom from formality
which everywhere smacked of well
come. Refreshments were served
throughout the evening. The success
of this affair was largely due to the
untiring efforts of County Superin-
tendent Clark who has been very &C
tive in every preparation for what is
now conceded by all as the most sue
cessful institute ever held in this dis
trlct.
The Thirteenth Normal district in
cludes the counties of Chaffee, Eagle
Garfield, Grand. Lake, Park, Pitkin
Rio Blanco, Routt and Summit and
nearly all are represented by teachers
at this session.
