Great interest is being manifested in the forthcoming annual session of the Bemidji Bible Conference, which will be held in Bemidji, July 20-25, and already there is much inquiry as to the program of the conference. The program committee of the conference has prepared a program and bas it complete, ready to issue to the public, and in speaking of REV. F. J. BARACKMAN Of Blackduck, President. the program, Rev. S. E. P. White of this city, secretary and treasurer of the conference, says: “We are satisfied that it is the strongest program ever put on the platform at Bemidji, and the follow- ing are some of the noted speakers who will participate: “Rev. George Soltau, D. D., Chicago; Count W. Gelesnoff, D. D., Minneapolis; Rev. George N. Luc- cock, D. D., Oak Park, Ill. “Our speakers are men of inter- national reputation and each one is a scholar and student of recog- nized ability. It will be observed that this is distinctively a Bible conference. We recognize the im- propriety of trying to bring into this conference those things which belong to applied christianity, rather than to a study of the word and a knowledge of the truth. Our aim has been to get a course that will appeal to the nministery and christian teachers throughout north- ern Minnesota, irrespective of church affiliation. We have given a large place to the study of the phophetic word. “There is a renewal of interest in the study of the Apocalypse. Count W. Gelesnoff will take up this work. Dr. Gelesnoff is well and very favor- ably known in religious circles here and abroad. These very important studies, with his reputation as a teacher, will certainly appeal to biblical students. N “Dr. George Soltau, who appeared last year to the delight of all who heard him, will again be with us, His subjects are timely and important, and handled in his masterly way will add very much to the strength of our program. “Dr. George N. Luccock has been with us for four years. This fact alone is sufficient introduction to one not having heard him. This year Dr. Luccock will occupy the evening programs. His subjects are bappily selected with reference to the day programs. “In a word, we believe that the conference this year is of such a nature, and of such unusual strength that no minister or Christian worker in northern Minnesota can afford to REV. 8.

Stewart and Miss Anna Sheliand Preparing for Sixth Annual Training School. The Sixth Annual State Teachers’ Training school for this section of the state will be held in Bemidji beginning Monday, June 2i, and will continue for six weeks with the following corps of instructors: J. H.-Hay of Thief River Falls, superintendent of schools at that place, instructor; Prof. John PROF. W. B. STEWAR= Superintendent of Schools. N. Palmer of Fairfax, instructor; Mrs. Imogene Lectra of Poplar, Mont., iustructor; Miss Sarah Jones, St. Cloud, instructor; Miss Anna Sand, Minneapolis, instructor; In addition to the foregoing, Prof. L. P. Harrington, of the Experimental Station of Crookston, will act as special instructor in agriculture for one week during the training school. County Superintendent W. B. Stewart of Bemidji, who is ably assisted by County Superintendent Anna Shelland of Koochiching |one of the very best to be held in the state of Minnesota. 1t would be a difficult matter to secure a better or more able faculty than the instructors who have been secured, and the teachers of this section are to be congratulated with being favored with the attendance of those secured to conduct the school this year. So many able in- atructors cannot but inspire con- fidence and make the success of the school certain. During the course of the summer school Dr. J. C. Shelland, pastor of the Congregational church at Staples, will deliver a lecture on “Reading,” and Judge H. W. Bailey of Bemidji, for six years past com- mander of the R.H. Carr Post, G. A. R,, will deliver an address, tak- ing for his subject “An Abolition- ist.” Professor Stewart has arranged a very interesting program for school officers’ day. ~ Special exercises will be held for this occasion on July 9. This is one of the valuable meet- ings and every member of a school board in Beltrami county who can possibly be present on that date should attend. . The subjects to be offered dur- ing the term will include all studies required for first and second grade certificates, and it is believed that every one can be accomodated. Be- midji was given an additional in- structor last year and with an in- creased number in attendance and additional instructor has been pro- vided this year, that more thorough work may be had. This makes the school much more valuable to the teachers and places the school in a position where advice and special instruction in particular cases may be taken care of and a thorough training in elementary subjects to given in such a way as to be of lasting benefit to all who enter the different classes formed for study and recitation. The summer school will be held in the high school building where the students will have access to the school library and books free if returned in as good condition as received. County Superintendents W. B. Stewart and Anna Shelland have carefully planned the work to be taken up so that every class formed may be for the best interest of the county, is doing everything in his power to make this the best school ever held in this part of thestate and teachers of the two counties and it is the intention that every recitation held be of lasting benefit to the teachers attending the school. : z
