TEACHERS
Summer School Opens at La
Porte With Large Attendance.
STUDENTS DELIGHTED WITH TOWN
First Days Enrolment the Greatest in
the History OF the School.

inc history OF the ScnO0I.
The teachers Summer school open
ed Monday in the Laporte High
school building under the most
favorable auspices. The first days
enrolment was 10 which broke all
previous records since the school
has been conducted i'm Sullivan
county. The attendance has heen
steadily increasing day by day and
by another week there will likely
be one hundred students enrolled.
TO say that both students and in
structors are delighted with Laporte
this season would not properly de-
scribe the situation. In fact Ian
guage cannot describe it.
Every thing was swept, garnished
and in running order when the army
of "Merry Widow" hats made siege
upon the beautiful resort. They
were allowed to take possession with
out even skirmish, and the town
is now considered to be theirs.
Handsome school mains and pros
pective teacheas both male and fe
male from all parts of the county
continued to arrive all day Monday
and jOlned the band of knowledge
seekers. individually and collective
ly they speak of Laporte in highest
terms of praise and being so well
pleased and comfortably cared for the
faculty experienced no trouble in
setting the wheels in motion, and
everything from the very start ran
smoothly and will continue to so
move and become an important tac-
tor for good among the teachers of
sullivan county. Laporte is par
ticularly adapted for work of this
nature, and it is needless to say that
those who attend the school this
season will recommend that it be
continually held here.
Another marked advantage is the
fact that very able corp of in
structors are in charge this season.
This school is specially prepared to
give you a practical course of train
ing in the shortest possible time.
If your time is limited special pains
will be taken to enable you to get
the most out of it that will be of
practical value.
As before stated, our town is
pleasant, social advantages first
class with a high moral atmos-
phere all the while prevailing and
recreation advantages no where
equaled in the State. We proffer
the opportunities freely, and it is
aryone's to accept them with pro-
fit.
