The weather man has seriously in
tcrfered with the plans of the several
Summer School committees in regard
to auto rides, etc, the roads being
too muddy mitch Of the time to make
autoing a pleasure. A ride was
planned for this week but rain the
first three days prevented and on
Thursday examinations were keeping
the teachers busy all the time. This
years experience will probably lead
the management to plan the several
entertainment features, especially
auto trips, earlier in the session so
that if Jupiter Pluvius interferes
there will be time for another date.
The assembly periods have been
very interesting, this week. Monday
Supt. Lois Wall Of Dunn county, who
is a most enthusiastic supporter of
the Dickinson Summer School and of
the Dickinson Normal School, ad-
dressed the teachers. Miss Wall is
working early and late for the i'm
provement Of the schools of Dunn
county and has been very successful
in securing consolidation which means
better school advantages. Miss Wall
always has a message for the teach
ers which is worth hearing.
Mrs. Guy Hunter took the assembly
half hour Tuesday and gave a most
interesting talk on 'The Open Mind"
Her address was one of the best of
the session.

Davis gave fine program of songs,
Miss Florence Davis accompanying.

an interesting address on the
Growth of North Dakota" especial
ly the western part. Friday Supt.

superintendents of the Missouri Slope
and others who have been instrument
al in securing this school for Dickin-
son.
End, That we extend thanks and
sincere appreciation for the kind and
generous hospitality Of the people of
Dickinson, who have spoken and acted
through the Commercial Club, Lodges,
Churches and Societies as we'll as in
dividually. Our whole stay has been
pleasant but we mention few of the
more striking instances: The greet
ings Of welcome" everywhere on our
first arrival; the reception at Elks'

country for pleasure and recreation;
to the Dickinson experiment station
for the entertainment and the sump-
tuous refreshments and to the people
who again donated their autos for
conveyance to the farm and back; to
the churches and the Public Library

to take care Of a much enlarged
school. n;ga ,,,r go
