SUMMER SCHOOL AT NORMAL INCREASED FORTY PER CENT INTERESTING ITEMS CONCERN ING CLOSING WEEK OF BEST SCHOOL EVER HELD FOR THE TEACHERS OF THE NORTH WEST. On Friday night before an audience of about 500, the summer school pre sented a very interesting program. It was a most enjoyable entertain ment, the different groups showing unusual talent and ingenuity in secur ing effects. The same friendly rival ry which marked Field Day was again evident—the groups accepting their prizes, ranging from popcorn to choc olate creams, with the spirit of victors. The judgs were: Mrs. J. D. Taylor, Mr. Nestos, Dr. Johnson, Mr. Bacon and Mr. Carr. At the close of the program Presi dent Crane presented the Field Day banner to McHenry county, represent ed by Mr. Colton of Towner. The evening closed with dancing in the gymnasium, Rognlie's orchestra furnishing the music. In the assem bly hall other entertainment was of fered for those who did not dance. Frappe was served by the domestic science department. Dr. Johnson closed his series of lec tures on Monday night with an illus trated lecture on "Types of Feeble Minded and Their Heredity." These addresses have been most interesting, and highly instructive, from whatever view point. The training school was most fortunate, in the privilege of hearing this valuable series. -From here he went to Valley City to speak before the Summer School in session there. 'Additional numbers Monday s^ even ing were vocal solos by Miss Martha Reishus of Minot, and Supt. Colton of Towner. Mrs. Jean McNaughton Stevens ad dressed the summer school .on Tuesday morning on the subject of "Light of Other Days." A Northwestern train ing school without Mrs. Stevens would not be complete. Consequently this session has indeed been most fortunate in the privilege of listening to her words of inspiration for even a short time. May future sessions be equally fortunate. On Friday evening of this week the County Superintendents of the affiliat ing counties visited the summer school for the purpose of inspection and to convene in business session. There were in attendance Supts. A. C. Berg, Phelps, Hecht, Layne, Supt. Margaret Sheridan, Supt. Rosanna Duffy Camp bell, Supt. Martha P. Tatem and Supt. E G. Warren. They expressed them selves as very well pleased with the summer school. They were especially pleased with the assistance the Nor mal employment bureau has given them in the way of securing teachers and the method used. Thru instruc tors' estimates of the work done by summer school teachers and filed in the office, employing officials are in a pc sition to get in closer touch with the applicants, particularly in their Sum mer school work and attendance. This is also an apparent advantage to the teacher who is anxious for promotion, or for those who are conscientious in summer school courses. There have been direct calls for a large number of teachers and a good ly number have been rcommended who will undoubtedly be placed. This summer school has shewn an increase in attendance of forty per cent over last year at Velva, which is rmarkable, considering that the length of term this year was increased fifty per cent. Undoubtedly this desirable attendance was brought about in a large measure thru the school being held at the State Normal, with the privilege of securing normal eredits as well as the advantage apparent in the large number of courses offered, open to election by the teachers. Threshing Winter Rye. A field" of Vinter rye was threshed -TTT fw •j «','fv 1 ,y 1 on the H. F. Parse farm nortfe of the city averaging 26 buaneli per a6re. This was sown to clean out the wild, oats.
