THE SUMMER SCHOOL
Term Closes After a Most Successful
Period With Prof. J. G. Mar
shall as Conductor.
Teachers and Prospective Teachers
Who Attended Will Doubtless
Reap Future Benefit.

The summer training school for
teachers, which has proved the most
successful and most largely attended
of any ever held in Princeton, came
to close yesterday at noon, and the
conductor, Prof. J. c. Marshall, and
his corps Of assistants are entitled to
much praise for the able manner in
which every department has been
handled. Prof. Marshall has kindly
furnished the Union, from week to
week, during the progress of the
school, with interesting notes of the
proceedings, and the following,
covering the concluding eight days
of the term, completes his report:
On Wednesday OF last week Supt
Denfeld, Of the Duluth city schools,
visited the summer school. Supt.
Denfeld is sent out by the state de-
partment as a summer school in
spector. He expressed himself as ex-
ceedingly well pleased with the
conduct Of the school and especially
with the fine appearance of the
young people who are attending.
He gave lecture while here.
On Thursday of last week Dr..
McRae gave an interesting talk on
dental hygiene. The doctor stated
that he was out of practice in oratory
but, nevertheless, he gave good,
plain cOmmOnsense talk which was
appreciated by those who heard it,
Mrs. Claire Galley sang before the
summer school on Friday. Mrs.
Galley is certainly an artist in her
line. She kindly responded to sew
eral encores much to the pleasure of
those present.
Mrs. Minerva Hixson, county
superintendent of Isanti county,
visited us on Thursday and Friday
Of last week. While present she gave
a pleasant talk to the school.
Prof. Chapman of the state farm
school gave a talk on poultry raising.
He showed what can be done in the
along the line of poultry raising.
A vocal solo was rendered by Miss
Rita Byers on July Is. Miss Byers
has fine alto voice, and her solo
and encore were thoroughly enjoyed
On Saturday we had the pleasure
of listening to Victrola during the
general period. This was loaned US
through the kindness of Mrs. Ewing.
Mrs Ewing manipulated the machine
and gave several selections from the
best artists.
One day last week Donald Marshall
and Joyce Peterson played several
violin duets. For sweet music on
the violin it is hard to beat these
young artists. They were encored
several times.
Word reaches us from State Supt.
Schulz that the attendance in the
summer schools this year has as a
rule been very small. Not so with
the Mile Laos county summer school,
Our total attendance has reached Is,
which is very large for a county hay
ing the number Of schools in it that
Mile Laos has. Not only that, but
the attendance kept up we'll until
the close of the session, few dropping
out.
When it comes to conducting a
summer school Co. Supt. Ewing is
on to the job, and has the faculty of
keeping up the interest of those in
attendance. He has been present
many times during the session and
has given several interesting and
valuable talks before the teachers.
Summer school came to close
yesterday morning. The students
who expected to have their regular
recitations were pleasantly surprised
to find program had been arranged.
This consisted of songs, speeches and
recltations, and was as follows:
chorus, singing by the school:
''Green Banner,n class recitation: :
two songs, "Anchored" and 'sPrince-
ton Summer School, by the girls
chorus; a class in methods, con-
Quoted by Miss Whiting; class in
history, conducted by Miss Chall-
man: a talk on Yellowstone by Miss
Whiting; speeches by members of
the faculty and Mr.. Ewing
The session ended with a rousine
song by the entire school. This song
was composed especially for the &C.
cason, and is entitled 1.-The Prince
ton Summer School,
Picnic of c. H. Nelson's Employees.
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. G. H.
