In speaking of the joint institute to
be held at Brookings in June the indie.
pendent last week stated that the
teachers of the county would have the
benefit of the first two weeks of the
summer school at the State College
without extra charge. The statement
was correct as far as it went, but Supt.
Coulson informs US that ali teachers
from this county will have the priv.
lege of the full six weeks of the sum.
mer school without any cost for tut.
ton, whatever. Last year more than
thirty teachers of this county attended
various summer schools outside the
county and had to pay the regular fee.
The joint institute thus effects quite
a saving to the teachers who are anx'
ious to better prepare themselves fol-
the work.-De Smet Independent.
