No Summer School for Teachers.

Editor Courier: In view of the
fact that so few of the teachers have
responded to the plan set out a few
weeks ago for a summer school, [
beg to announce through your col
umns that the attempt will not be
made. | had hoped that the out
line as given would meet with the
strong support of the teachers and
those wishing to teach, but there
have been only seventeen reported,
and we could not begin to make the
plans with no more pupils than that
In sight. A few more may come in
yet, but we wanted to begin the
school on the 21st of June, so it ism t
probable that enough more will come
in to make the necessary number.
