During the morning session Wednes.
day the address of Prof. Lindberg on

future value to young teachers.
Wednesday afternoon session was en-
livened with vocal music by Misses
Hazel and Ruth Bailey, Ellen, Teresa
and Lucille Garlock, and Gladys Fitch
Louise Monheim playing the piano.
At 5 o'clock p. III. the young folks
gathered on the peauteau beneath Big

Thursday morning regular exercises
as stated on program.
Thursday afternoon, opening, instru'
mental solo by Miss Lucille Garlock.
Most of the afternoon session was de;
voted to instructions in basket weaving
and Raffia work--in which all teachers
took part-being allowed to take home
their unfinished work and to keep the
same, for demonstrating to the schol-
ars when in the schoo-room.
Thursday evening at o'clock musi-
cal program was rendered at the Con-
gregational church. An instrumental
duet, by Misses Ellen Garlock and Louise
Monheim, was the first selection. The
hearty applause given each number
showed that it was an entertainment oil
rare merit and fully appreciated by the
large audience present.
Friday morning usual routine work.
Friday afternoon the Instructors and
County Superintendent each made a
short farewell talk. Then occurred an

could scarce voice words to express her

appellation of 'Baby Superintendent,
