Three Weeks session to Open Nom

The summer school for teachers of
the rural and graded schools, to he
held at Castleton under the auspices
of the state normal school there, will
open Monday, July 5, for a three weeks
session. AS two recitations are hell

as far as work accomplished is con

acting through the state board Of edu-
cation. for the elementary teachers Of
this State. II is the only school, with the
exception of the one at the Johnson
normal school, which is to deal d.
rectly with the subjects and the teach
ers In all the school work below the
high school. The work of this school
Is distinct and separate from that Of
the summer schools at the colleges, as
the colleges take for their problem the
work of high school teachers and su-
peri%ntendents.
This Is tho fourth year of holding
this summer school at Castleton and
the registration each year indicates
how thoroughly the teachers of the
state appreciate the benehts to be
gained by attending. This school is
for teachers and not for those who
have never taught. Almost all the in
struction deals with methods. that is.
the best way Of teaching all the sub-
jects In the first nine years of school.
and the instruction is carried on In
such a practical way that teachers
cannot help but understand The
corps of instructors in this summer
school is unusual in it's ability and
practically all OF those who teach at
this summer school come for a much
lower salary than they are accustom-
cd to receive during the year.
This school gives an unusual oppor-
tunity for growth and advancement to
the teacher, who Is not content to re-
main stationary in her profession. Tho
list of teachers follows: Margaret NJ.
Cotton, supervising principal and critic
teacher, Grove street state Training
School, Providence, r. l.; Nella II. Cole,
principal rural training school. North

what J. H. Augustine, of Blackfoot,
had said in The Idaho Republican,
with the slight exception that he
printed the name of his locality in

all mention of Mr.. Augustine.
On the same page he published a
very instructive treatise on hogs, and
after introducing the subject, he
copies verbatim, the article by L. c..
Aicher, of Aberdeen, using the same
punctuation, and altering it just as
We altered 1t before setting 1t in

that he said he had written to Mr..
Aicher and secured the article for
his paper.
The editor lays particular stress
on the fact that he got out and
travelled over the country to gather
all this information about farms and
farming, and we suppose he did, but
when he enlightened his readers on
the principles of dry farming, he in
troduced the subject with some local
matter and then copied bodily our
article on how the earth sweats, how
his can be stored at the surface by
certain methods of cultivation, tells
why very deep blowing may be a
disadvantage, and then in the next
column, tells his readers why his
