Total Attendance Second Week 243
and 80 Children in the Model
School.
TEACHERS DIVIDED INTO THREE
GRADES FOR INSTRUCTION.
Each Student Has Five Study Sub
jects-Literary Exercises Every
Saturday Night All Invited.


yette Summer Normal School on the
opening morning of the second week
was 243; 213 in the normal depart
ment and 80 in the model school.
This is probably the best attendance
from an economic point of view that
can be shown by any of the summer
normal schools in the state. 1t is ad
mirably adapted to the number and
size OF the buildings, class rooms, and
school supplies of the Industrial In
stitute and admits of the most perfect,
compile. regular and symmetrical pro-
gram of studies that could be devised.
Those teachers who are in the class
holding or expecting to hold a first
grade certificate are divided into two
sections of about forty five
teachers each; those having or desir-
ing second grade certificates are also
divided into two sections of about for
ty teachers each; and the remaining
number, about forty-five or fifty, who
are working for third grade certi-
fcate. are all together in one class.
Every student in the school has a
full program for the entire school
day, but only five "study-subjects"
each. The days work begins at 7:15
a. m. with fifteen minutes period
for morning exercises" on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays this period
is given to chorus practice by the
whole school, while on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays the men,
bers Of the faculty take turns in al
phabetical order in conducting morn
ing exercises. The two dormitories
Of the Institute are full to overflow
ing. cots being placed in the young
ladies dormitory to provide for the
overflow ow-transferring the entire
cooking and serving of meals to the
young mems dormitory. The atten-
dance will probably not exceed more
than ESQ teachers and there will not
be permitted more than 36 children
in the model school, There have been
more than a hundred applications
from students not intending to become
teachers who merely wished to i'm
prove themselves in some of their stu
dies during the summer, but all Of
these have been either discouraged
from doing SO or have been refused in
order to give the benefit Of the class

faculty to those for whom the school

bound for the Seattle exposition, pri-

owing to the big crowd aboard this
