teresting and instructive ever held
in Northern Idaho and all were unan-

The instructors and lecturers Sc
cured for the institute were the best
available in the United States and
those attending the institute felt they
were most fortunate in having the
opportunity to listen to the array of
educational talent which had been
brought to Bonners Ferry.
AS far as can be learned the teach

of Bonner and Boundary counties
were well pleased with the hospi-
tally and entertainment afforded by
the teachers and citizens of Bonners
Ferry.
Musical entertainment was pro-

rected by Mrs. E. B. Patterson, of
Standpoint, who also gave the teach
ers some valuable pointers concern
ing music in the school rooms.
