SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSED: WAS BEST EVER HELD HERE Superintendent Stewart and His Corps of Instructors Did Splendid Work.—The Teachers in Attendance Adopted Set of Strong Resolutions. The State Training School for ‘Teachers, which has been held in the high school building in this city since June 21 and which was con- cluded last Friday, was by far the best session of summer school ever held in Beltrami county. The enrollment was fair, the aver- age daily attendance good and the interest shown by both the instructors and teachers was of the intense character that brings about good results. The following is a summary of the attendance, etc.: Total enrollment, 83; average daily attendance, 66; average age, 20; average age began teaching, 18; number holding first grade certi- ficates, 3; second grade certificates, 33; third grade certificates, 14; num- ber taught in graded schools, 1; number taught in ungraded schools, 47, average months taught, 21; graduated from graded schools, 51; schools, 16; perfect certificates issued, 23; total number receiving certificates who attended more than twelve days, but not a perfect attendance, about 50. While the enrollment was not as large as in former years, yet it was encouraging, condsidering the fact that practically all of the teachers who participated in the studies were residents of Beltrami county. The school was under the super- vision of Prof. W. B. Stewart, super- intendent of the schools of Beltrami county, and he worked indefatigably and earnestly for the success which was attained; and he was very ably assisted by the members of the faculty who were designated to assist in conducting the sumr:er school. Anna E. Shelland, superintendent of Koochiching county schools, was present one week and Prof. R. E. Denfeld, superintendent of the Duluth city schools, visited the sum- mer schools. The members of the faculty were as follows: Prof. J. H. Hay of Thief River Falls, conductor; Prof. John E. Palmer of Fairfax, Mrs. Emogene Lectra of Poplar, Mont., Miss Sara Jones of St. Cloud, Miss Anna Sand of Minneapolis, instructors; with Prof. L. P. Harrington, principal of the Crookston School of Agriculture, as a special instructor in agriculture, the first week of school, and Miss Decker of Minneapolis doing lecture work on reading and method, for one week. During the session of the school, Rev. J. J. Shelland of Minneapolis delivered a lecture on reading and er. H. W. Bailey of Bemidji read an address on “An Abolitionist.” The teachers who were in attend- ance at the school claim that the work of the summer school in Be- midji, just clcsed, has been fully as good as that of the summer normal schools and that the same credit should be given to this summer school as is given to the summer normal schools. Just prior to the adjournment, the teachers submitted _the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: “Whereas, We, the teachers of the Bemidji Summer Training school of 1909, are deeply sensible of the benefits we have derived from the work of the summer, and desire to express our sincere appreciation of the conscientious efforts exerted to our good by all who have had to do with our instruction either in or out of the classroom; it is hereby “Resolved, that we extend our hearty thanks to our able conductor and to each individual member of his corps of efficient and tireless instructors for their faithful work and their continuous personal inter- est in our behalf; and it is further- more “Resolved, That we extend our gratitude to our county superinten- dents for needed and timely encour- agement and advice in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the teachers and especially to Superin- tendent Stewart for his uniform help- fulness to, and friendly interest in, the teachers of every county; and it is furthermore “Resolved, that we express our appreciation for the use of the building, books and apparatus, to the trustees of the Board of Educa- tion of Bemidji; and it is further “Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions. be sent for publication to the county papers of Koochiching and Beltrami counties. “—Jay Bowman, *“—Clara Heffron, *“—Florence Huck, Comnmittee on Resolutions.” R.

Matt his escape from the county jail in this city on the night of June 25th, has been apprehended at Moorhead, and when he completes a thirty-day sentence in that city, he will be Galvin, who, who made brought back to Bemidji and again lodged in jail. Sheriff Hazen returned this noon from Moorhead, wehere he went to identify Galvin. Galvin had stolen a diamond from a party atjMoorhead and in making his escape was in- jured so he was easily caught. The party diamond allowed Galvin to return the same and did not appear against him in the case, but the officers lodged Galvin in jail for thirty days, on general principles. from whom he stole the Galvin’s sentence will expire on August 22, when he will be brought back to Bemidji. Galvin was indicted last spring on the charge of burglary, and the case later being dismissed. He was rearrested on the charge of grand larceny in thé second degree and was awaiting the action of the grand jury at the time he broke jail. There has been much comment on this escape and it is hoped that if there is a strong case against Galvin he will be given the limit of the law, if convicted. BAGLEY DEFEATED THE LOGALS YESTERDAY, 2-0 The Long Prairie Baseball Champions Will Play at Cass Lake Tomorrow. Afternoon. By consistent playing, the Bagley baseball team, yesterday afternoon, won a game from the Bemidji play} ers, applying a coat of whitewash and holding the locals safely at all times, the final score being 2 to 0, in favor of the visitors. The visitors got their scores through errors of judgment of the Bemidji fielders, who allowed two How We Lost the Game. fly balls to drop between them, both of which should have been easy outs. It was “bonehead” playing, and in great contrast to the clean fielding of Bagley. Jenson, for Bagley, pitched a fine game, allowing but two hits and striking out nine, no one being al- lowed to walk; and his support was good. Baumgardner also pitched fine ball. Two real hits were registered against Fred, the two flies mentioned above going as hits through “bum” work of fielders. He struck out six and gave two free transportation, E. H. Reff, manager of the Bagley team, went home wearing a smile that won’t rub off for some time to come; and C. E. Perkins, editor of the Bagley Independent, was exceed- ingly merry, and they were entitled to be “chesty.” Easily, the feature of the game was the umpiring of Mr. Wagner of Bagley. “‘Some” umpire, that gentle- mbn—but he is impartial, anyhow. Long Prairie at Cass Lake Tomorrow. An event of more than ordinary merit in baseball circles, hereabouts, will be the appearance at Cass Lake tomorrow of the famous Long Prairie team which will play a game against Cass Lake tomorrow after- noon. The famous colored catcher, “Rast” Johnson, will be in the Long Prairie line-up, and his appearance alone is worth the price “Rast" Johnson Will Catch for Long Prairie. of admission. Johnson is the great- est colored ball player living today, and his catching and coaching are really a treat. The Cass Lake team has been playing fine ball of late and they expect to make a good showing against the 'speedy Todd county bunch, who claim the semi-profes- sional championship of the north half of the state. A number of Bemidji “fans” expect to go over to the ‘‘Lake” IS STRUCK BY LIGHTING AND INSTANTLY KILLED Body of ““Jack” Stewart, Farmer Living Near Becida, Found Saturday, Lying in Field, With Life Long Sinc Lightning terminated the earthly career of “Jack” Stewart during the severe storm (3( Saturday evening, his body being found on his farm, near Becida, at 8:30 o’clock, after the storm had abated somewhat.

They found his body lying prone on the earih and a jagged hole through his hat indicated too ploinly the cause of death.
