Y.e,a,r by year the sUJilllIIle•r ,se,ssiow has 1been growing in populamty ,and irinpor,tanc,e·. When t 1he legislatur,e, several years ago, ,autho,rize·d su•!lll!Il-er sessiorus iin the normal s-chools, there was a preva,iliing i1I11>res,sfon that the plan was a doubt­ ful experiment. Now, lho•we-ver, at le,aist from ,the standpoint cf the te,a.chers in tfh.e co!lll!Il·oru ,sc1h•ools or of young pe-ople a,spiring ,uo teach, ,t-here is no lon,ger .an\)' room for dou1bt that the summer tel'Ill is a much-needed feature in the ma­ chin,e,ry of ,publfo -edu.catiion. Every se.ssion adds fr.esh tes­ timony to its efficacy. Every summer witnesses a larger enrollment and ,a bette,r-schooled, more capable body of students. 'rhe ,sessfon of ,the, rpast summer at the J\lfoorhead nor.mal school w,as excepti,orual from every point of view. The -irncrease· in erurollment ovier t1he, ,summer sessions of e•arlier ye,ars gre,atly ,exceeded even ·tihe rate of increase of the, reg,ular se,ssions. The s1c,holarship of the s,tuden ts was ,of a be,tter tyrpe. T,here were more regular teachers whose experienc-e was an educational asset. The grade of work ,accomp1ished iwas therefor-e ha.g,he,r. The faculty, com­ pri,sing as it ·did many of the best teac1hers ·of the nor,mal scho'ol as well as several of the recognized leaders among th-e superirntendent,s of thlis rpart of rbhe state, w.as an ex­ cep,tfonally stro,mg ,and ewthusiastfo 1body of te,a.cher.s. As a conse.q,uence of ,experienic,e, in ,offering courses ,of s1tudy, moreover, the wo,rk of t:he ,summer term articula,tes nkely with that of the three r,e,gu1a·r terms, of the year. Alto­ ge•ther the summer ·ses,sion is one of tlh-e s•tronge.s,t fac.to.rs that the state has ever ev,o1v.ed for ·th,e upbuild!in1g of a pr,o­ gress'ive, professionally-compe,tent body of teachers. 7 Minnesota--State N orrnal School-Moorhead THE INTERSTATE LIBRARY MEET.

Dr. Max Batt, president of t'he Dakota Ass.o,ciat.ion, in h1s opening .address ·On '' The· L~brary and the Pe,ace, M.ove­ meni'' emphasiized the need of •the, library to meet and to en·coura,ge tlhe demarnd for peaice lite ,ra ture.
