Summer School OF Eastern Ken
lucky State Normal.

The State Normal Summer School at
Richmond is now in full blast. The
term opened on June sth and Will close
ON July l7th. The enrolment Tor the
nresen, term alone is 1853. This makes
Tas TO enroll in the Normal School Tor
the entire year. A large number OF
students are in the Summer School VINO
have been here for several months. In
All there about 275 doing work at pres
ent in the Normal School. The enroll
nent of this year surpasses that oil iast
wear bv lss. and there are few who
nerehance may enroll before thu. close oil
this year. As the progress whleh mas
been made during this year Tar eN.
ceeds that Of last year, so Il Is hopeu
that next year will keep abreast oil the
educational demands and greatly sur
mass the present year. An enrolment
OF 500 and an actual attendance OF
600 has been adopted as the pa'''e
cry for 1910. There are $500 teach
ers in the Eastern District and IL docs
ma, seem impossible to reach these
figures. All that is needed Is an
awakened public sentiment and a reah-
cation of the opportunities OF the nor
NAL School at Richmond. Prof. l. H.
Boothe. Of the faculty. will visit during
the Summer and Fall number OIL
county Institutes as a special repre-
