The Beltrami county training school began in this city last Monday with a substantial enrollment, fifty-five teachers being present. This is the first school of this character held in Beltrami county. The\u00a0instructors selected for this school by the state superintendent are of the best, and those who are in attendance will be better qualified to fulfill their duties as teachers on account of spending four weeks at this time in training for their work.<\/p>\n
Those in attendance are teachers who have taught school in various parts of the country. They are\u00a0school ma’ams from ages\u00a0“sweet sixteen” to twenty-two years, and every one is beautiful\u00a0and charming. The oldest has seen but twenty-one summers. A few gentlemen are also attending.<\/p>\n
