On Friday afternoon, Mr.. L. V.
Parker closed his series of talks be-
fore the summer school physiology
classes with lecture on Community
Hygiene" These lectures have been
most practical and timely, being on
subjects of vital interest to social well
fare. They have added most mater
tally to the benefits to be derived from
the summer school courses, and should
give those attending a better grasp
of the problems confronting every
community in matters of public health
and sanitation. r.
On Friday evening from 73O to
900, eighty of the dormitory girls
enjoyed a frolic in the gymnasium,
playing games and making most in
genius use of its apparatus. All sur
vived the "stunts" put on, disposed of
a crate of oranges and dispersed with
the conviction of its being the best
evening yet. On next Friday even
ing the other summer school girls will
have a masked party in the gymnas-
ium.
On Wednesday afternoon the men,
bers of the Rural Course with their
class officer, Miss McDonough, had a
picnic in West Park. There are six
teen candidates for certificates from
this course which will be completed
August 18th, at the close of summer
school. Some of them have already
secured schools for next year. The
demand for rural teachers is large

writing the Normal employment bu-
reau for fifty teachers.
On Tuesday morning, State Super
intendent Taylor spoke to the summer
school at assembly. Preliminary to
his talk on the "Duty of the Teacher
to the State" he expressed himself as
most highly pleased with this first
Minot Normal Summer School; term
ed it an extraordinary session, and
an unqualified success. He feels that
the first Normal School year and this
remarkable first summer school ses-
sion, are vindication of the prolong-
ed agitation for a Normal school in
this northwestern section and an effec-
tive argument to cause the next legis-
lative assembly to recognize the
schools. ....
In his address he emphasized the
need on the part of the teacher for a
better qualification for the teaching
profession, and a persistent effort to
return to the State in service, meas
ure of that which the state has pro-
vided for the teachers in educational
opportunities. The public employee
who will give $4,000 worth of service
in a $4,000 job, stands good chance
of promotion. He closed with con-
gratulations to the teaching force Of
this Northwest section on their SPLEEN
did attendance at summer school. BY
a hearty applause the school endorsed
the "3 to l" vote received by Mr.. Tay-
lor in the recent primaries.
On Tuesday night before a we'll fill
ed house Mr.. Hall gave his lecture on
Yellowstone Park. The illustrations
were most realistic while the interpre-
tations were highly interesting. There
are several numbers still to be given
in the regular summer school series.
The public is cordially invited to at
