inquiries are being received. A
large attendance is expected. This
indicates progress and better schools.
The largest State Teachers Train.
ing school ever heldin Bemidji will
begin June 10Th and close July 3Oth.
This is one of few schools in the
state being favored with term Of
six weeks. Three counties, Bel.
trami, Hubbard and Koochiching,
will join in holding this school.
The past two years Beltrami and
Koochiching counties have united in
holding a summer school and the
work thus carried on has been OF
such commendable character that
third county has been added this
year,-a move favored by the
Department of Public instruction.
Bemidji Summer Schools rank
among the best Sin the state in the
character of work done. Instructors
have invariably commented upon the
good work done by the teachers.
They are spoken Of as responsive,
capable of doing work and suscept-
IDLE to better methods. The coming
term will be no exception. In fact
the coming school will furnish
greater advantages than any pre-
ceeding one.
A larger summer school enables
the teachers to have larger
number of skilful instructors to aid
them in their work. With three
counties represented there will be
a marked tendency to unity the work
over larger selection of country
thus giving wider acquaintance with
the work of a larger number of
schools. A larger school is also more
apt to be favored with greater num-
Der of special features provided blythe
Department of Public Instruction.
In this respect this school this
year is particularly fortunate. In
a letter State Superintendent c. G..
Schulz regrets he will not be able
to visit the school this year and
has recommended C.. R. Frazier,
Asst Supt. Public Instruction, who
will be here July 9Th to visit the
school and address the meeting of
school officers at that time. Miss
May Decker, Minneapolis, who will
be remembered by her excellent
work here last year during the
last week of the school is to come
again for three days.
A special instructor in sewing
will be provided for one week. A
splendid opportunity will thus be
afforded the teachers to receive
special instruction in this important
phase of industrial education. The
subject Of agriculture will receive
special attention. There will be
other just as interesting features
but arrangements have not as yet
been completed.
Aside from these inviting special.
ties as mentioned the school will
have a regular faculty of five in.
