in conference with State Supt. E. C.
Bishop and the principals of the other
junior normals relative to thissummer's
session of the junior normals.
He announces the faculty for the
Alliance junior normal as follows;

Patterson, Scottsbluff; Mrs. Leoru Rus
tln, Lincoln; Miss Susie R. Frazier,

A good lecture course is being
planned which will be managed home
what differently than heretofore. In
place of a large number of lectures of
medium ability it will be restricted to
two or three numbers, the material
selected to be the best which can be
found anywhere in the country.
Negotiations are now being made
with one of tho best concert companies
in the United States which will be the
musical uumber of tho entertainment
course. ,
It will doubtless be of interest to the
people of western Nebraska to know
the relative numbers enrolled in eight
junior normals of the state last year.
The list Is as follows:
Alliance, 238, Alma 153, Rroken Row
209, Geneva 170, McCook 220, North

"Alliance, Neb , April 20, 1009.
To the Teachers and Friends of Educa
tion in Northwest Nebraska:
We take this opportunity of announc
ing the seventh annual session of the
Alliance Junior State Normal School,
which convenes June 7th, continuing
for a term of eight weeks. All teach
ers, prospective teachers, and pupils,
who have completed tho equivalent of
the eighth grade, are invited to attend
this session of tho normal.
The eight weeks' term is of sufficient
length to afford opportunity for a
thorough mastery of tho subjects pur
sued, and yet short enough to permit
ample vacation between the close of
the normal and the beginning of school
in tho fall.
The course of study will include the
branches required for any grade of
county certificate, elementary state
certificate, or professsonal life cettifi
cate. Tuition Is free. A small enrollment
fee of two dollars will be charged
which will entitle normal students to
admission to the lecture and enter
tainment course. Text books are
furnished free.
The teachers' boarding hall and re
ception room, which have proved so
popular during the past two years, will
be maintained again this year. This
will insure excellent board at actual
cost, In no case to exceed three dollars
a week. Good rooms can bo secured at
from fifty cents to one dollar a week,
two occupying a room.
