 summer to possess a peculiar interest as the students of the pre- 

 vious year presented evidence of what their pupils had done 

 during the intervening months. The difficulties overcome by many 

 of the teachers of the state are lasting proof of their efficiency 

 when helpful inspiration is given. As illustrations, in handwork, 

 the use of native materials was encouraged for problems in dis- 



tricts lacking the ordinary commercial supplies, with the result 

 that beautiful baskets were woven by children, from grasses found 

 in the home neighborhood; in elementary science and agriculture, 

 the construction of home made apparatus was a feature ; in garden- 

 ing, photographs of successful gardens under extreme difficulties 

 were presented; in sewing, bonnets made of coffee sacks were 

 found to be artistic as well as useful; in woodwork many useful 

 articles were made of lumber obtained from store boxes ; and so on, 

 every department contributing its quota of evidence of influence 

 extending to every county in the state, through teachers, many of 

 whom returned to the school for four successive terms.
