The Story County Normal Institute will begin Monday morning, July 10th at 7:00 in the Nevada High School building and will be in session ten days.

The programs of the summer school and institute are so planned that the work done in one is not done in the other, but the work of the two makes up one and the same course of study. The work this year will be both academic and the lecture plan.

Very sincerely yours, L. J. Scott

Although the boys were up against an older bunch of players, Dysart worked for all they got. This score was 5-1 in favor or Dysart, but the game was better than the score indicates. King pitched a good game and was given good support by the men behind him. Heinrich caught good, Carver starred with the big stick, Shearer at 3rd accepted 7 chances without an error.
