McCook Junior Normal School
The third summer session of the
McCook junior normal school will begin
a ten weeks term Monday Juno 5 The
state superintendent will soon make an
nouncement of a strong faculty which
will be increased by one instructor over
last year There will bo a model full
graded rural school in charge of a capa
ble instructor instead of a model kin
dergarten as heretofore
he entertainment course will bo
strong and unusually attractive It will
include J Edmund Vance Cooke of
Cleveland Ohio an entertainer after
the style of James Whitcomb Riley
Frank R Roberson the world traveler
who nas several times delighted McCook
audiences and who is at present in
Russia securing material for a new lec
ture the inimitable Slayton Jubilee
Singers and Rev Robert Mclntyre of
Los Angeles California who is prola
bly the greatest word painter on tho
American platform today
In past years tho citizens of McCook
have been asked to contribute a bonus
for the support of the school This
need not be dono this summer The
state will assume the burden of its ex
pense But instead the business men
and citizens generally are urged to pur
chase season tickets of admission to
these excellent entertainments The
charge to them will be the same as to
the visiting teachers namely 150
each ticket being good for the four en
tertainments to be given through the
summer This course ought to be self
supporting the people of McCook can
derive as much value and pleasure from
the numbers as the teachers and they
should therefore help defray the cost by
the liberal purchase of season admission
tickets
The past two summers the McCook
junior normal school has been well to
the front among the five that the state
has supported and last summer it stood
first It behooves us to maintain that
rank this year The presence of the
junior normal school is recognized to be
a good thing for the community Lot
us give it royal support
There will be the usual demand for
board and room for the visiting teachers
throughout the summer months and a
systematic effort will be made at once to
learn of available places If you can
keep one or two or more teachers report
that fact
