 In concluding the announcement President Doyne says:
 "The great demand for trained teachers is recognized. Such have no need to worry about securing posi- tions. Each year finds many more ap- plicants for those who have made preparation for their work than the Normal School can possibly supply. Pride in himself should actuate the teacher to get in trim for doing the best work he can. Nothing will take the place of study and practice under those who are capable of imparting instruction in method and manage ment of schools, and who have the ability to direct the work that may be done under their supervision. If you desire to succeed to your own satisfac- tion and to merit the favor of those with whom you may labor, you can not afford to let go by the opportunity that the summer term of the State Normal School affords you for addi- tional preparation for your respon- sible office.'
