will be yours through the establish
ment of this school at your very
DOORS. This school will be under the
direct management and supervision of
the President of the Lewiston State
Normal School. President George II.

perience in the successful manage

Your attention is directed to the
fact that six distinct courses are
offered, and students and teachers

desire especially in this circular
to announce that the regular County
Teachers Institute for Kootenai
county will be held in connection
with this Summer Normal School,
commencing Aug. Is, and closing
Aug. 81, or just before the examlna-
ton. This will afford those who wish
to attend the Summer Normal School
a chance to fulfil the requirements of
attendance at the county institute
without extra time or expense; and as
the regular annual teachers examina-
tion occurs during the last week of
the summer school, it will afford an

from other counties. an excellent &C.
casion will be afforded for extending
your professional acquaintance. A
certificate Of credit will be issued to
each student who completes any of
the courses offered, and this certili-
cate would undoubtedly serve as a
special recommendation to the holder
thereof of school boards in search of
progressive teachers, and in this way
would many times repay in increased
wages the time and expense of attend
ing the school.
Occur d'Alene is a growing, pro
gressive city, beautifully located on
Lake Occur d'Alene, and affords an
inviting place to spend few weeks
during the summer months.
