The
Junior Normal
The first session of the McCook Junior Normal School
will begin at the East Ward School Building Monday June
8 and continue for a term of ten weeks till August 14 It is
expected that an average of two hundred teachers from
southwestern Nebraska will be present continuously through
the summer though the total enrollment should reach three
hundred and fifty An executive committee of citizens of Mc
Cook has been actively at work the past two weeks arranging
the details for the proper entertainment of these visitors
A careful canvas of the city has been made and a list of
residents secured who will provide board or lodging or both
The response has been free and generous and assures the vis
iting teachers of comfortable homes during their temporary
stay here this summer at a cost of from 300 to 400 per
week
Upon arriving at the railroad station the teachers will be
met by guides and conducted to the East Ward School Build
ing where a bureau of information will be established Here
completed lists of all rooming and boarding places in the city
will be kept with the prices charged It is urged that teach
ers who do not make previous arrangements for rooming
places first consult the bureau of information which will have
at its disposal assistants to direct inquirers to the different
homes in the city The teachers then will be expected to
register at the school and indicate what work they desire to
carry The first day will be given over to organization but
by Tuesday there should be no interruption of the regular
class room instruction
The daily program of work provides that the recitations
shall begin at 8 oclock and with a few exceptions they will
be completed by noon Supt G H Thomas of McCook will
conduct the classes in reading and literature civics and peda
gogy Supt A O Thomas of Kearney those in geometry
arithmetic geography mental arithmetic school manage
ment and elements of agriculture Mr E H Bradford of
Lincoln arithmetic book keeping botany physics and music
Miss OConnell of Fremont English grammar algebra or
thography and word analysis advanced grammar and compo
sition and history Mrs Sarah Brindley of Columbus will have
charge of the model school and conduct the classes in draw
ing and penmanship and primary methods
At this Normal School the tuition is absolutely free
From all points in Chase Dundy Hayes Hitchcock Red
Willow and Furnas counties the Burlington will sell tickets
for the round trip at the rate of one and one third fare on the
certificate plan on June 6 7 and 8 and August 9 and 10
Teachers should take certificates from their home agents
paying full fare This certificate properly countersigned by
the principal of the school will enable the purchaser to re
turn home at one third fare
Two public entertainments to be given through the sum
mer are already attracting muph attention One of them is
Frank R Roberson the most widely known lecturer on travel
in America He will give one of his best lectures illustrated
by one hundred and fifty colored views Another is the ever
pleasing Wesleyan Male Quartet which has no superior It
will appear afternoon and evening in two of its best programs
Besides the Wesleyans there will be at least one other strong
musical aggregation Governor J H Mickey will speak and
many of the leading educators of the state will be present
from time to time and deliver addresses
McCook has a cordial hearty welcome for the school
teachers of southwestern Nebraska and proposes to do all in
her power to make their stay pleasant and helpful so that
when they return to their homes at the close of the summer
they will carry away a kindly feeling for the little city we are
proud of
