The third session of this school loca ted by the State in New1 Berne, will be gin on the 25th of June, under skillful instructors from Lincoln and Shaw Uni- versities. , After two weeks' drilling I will begin a five weeks' course, on Mon- day, July 9th, under the leadership of I Principal Ella Somerville, now em- ployed in the colored schools of Wash- ington City, u. c A corps or compe-iAbe tent assistants will accompany her; . no such opportunity for improvement has ever been offered the colored teaohers of this State. It has been arranged with great care by the local Board of Directors, after consultation with Gov. Jarvis and Superintendent Scarborough. Every colored teacher who can possibly embrace these advantages, should do so, To have good schools there ' must be good teachers. Good teachers must be trained thoroughly. This effort should be welcomed by the eolored people. We welcome it. The school has been well conducted in the past and has' done good. By such work as this now pro1 posed, the State of North Carolina shows its deep interest in the educa tional welfare of its colored citizens. The school will be continued after the special five weeks' course end, - v The Picnic Again; Mb.
