HIAWATHA PRESENTED
BY MODEL SCHOOL PUPILS

Perfect weather prevailed Wednes-
day afternoon, when the exercises of
the Model school Of the state normal
were held in the auditorium. The
piece presented was Bessie M. White
leys musical operetta, "Hiawatha."
Fifty or more children were in the
singing, speaking or dancing parts; the
setting was a forest scene for which
the beautiful woodland scene, supple
mented by boughs from trees, served
admirably. The curtain was raised,
discovering a number Of children
dressed as Indians, dancing. Three
enc told the story of Hiawatha's
childhood and youth, and concluded
with Hiawatha's shooting of the red
deer and his e~xultation.
There were several especially strik-
ing n In n we observe the

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
SUMMER TERM.

The elementary school of the State
Normal school will be in session dur
ing the summer school term, begin
ming June Is and continuing until
July Oath. Glass will be organized
IN all of the grades, from the first to
the eighth, inclusive. Forenoon sess
sions only, will be held, the children
attending from nine A. M. until twelve,
M.
For a number Of years the element
airy school has been an important
feature of the summer session at the
normal school. At first it was tried
as an experiment, but it is an expert
ment no longer. It fills an essential
need and it has met with much favor.
In the country at large there is a.
growing demand for the frightening
of h school year. The long summer
vacation is not without it's disadvant-
ages. Parents generally recognize the
desirability Of providing regular oc-
cupation for their children, for a part
Of the day, during a portion Of the
long vacation. These patrons of the
school, also recognize the fact that the
school surrounds the children with
conditions Of comfort Int cleanliness.
The rooms are large, airy, cool and
well cared for.
1t is proposed to make the summer
school meet the needs Of the individual
pupils IN an especially helpful man.
ner. For those pupils who r weak
in certain lines Of work, the plan is
to concentrate effort upon the subjects
most needed. Some pupils will thus be
Enabled to make their grades, who,
otherwise, would not be able to do SO.
The summer school is not organized
exclusively for this calss of pupils,
however. A large number Of those
who attend the summer school, each
year, are pupils who are fully abreast
Of the best students in their classes.
They are in attendance because of
their own preference and because their
parents recognize the advantages Of
the summer school. With these chill
dren who are we'll prepared in their
regular school work, the aim is to give
them advanced work of a nature to
broaden and strengthen their prepara-
ton for the next years work, without
necessftating an undesirable repetition
of subject matter.
1t is the purpose to have each child
take but two subjects, or at most
three. No home study will be re-
CURED.
A class in cooking will be organized
for the girls of the upper grades. Man
ual training will be offered for the
boys who desire to take it. 1t is the
aim Of those in charge to give ample
attention to children's plays and
games and to athletics. Competent
members of the senior class have been
selected by the physical director to
take charge of this work. The play
grounds and the gymnasium will be
at the disposal Of the children during
the summer session.

The dances were swift, light and

and wind song by Mudjekeewis and
the wind spirits; the Indian war dance
with which the play opened, and the
exquisite little Dance Of the Firefies.
This last was done by very little girls,
who were dressed in black with yellow
