Hyannis has become the mecca of learning for the teach- ers in Barnstable County since the establishment of the Normal School in that village. The opportunities offered at its Summer School should not be overlooked by our teachers who would profit greatly by a few weeks of train- ing and inspiration each year. One can get at this school regular Normal work, and credit is given for the work done. The tuition is absolutely free, and board, rooms, and neces- sary supplies are furnished at cost. Miss Ethel T. Dyer, teacher in the South School, and your Superintendent at- tended the session last summer and can testify to its effi- ciency.
Pupils are not to be allowed to enter the schools during the winter or spring terms unless they are competent to continue the work done by some established grade in the school. The admission of pupils in the spring is not only very detrimental to the interests of the pupils already in the school, but the new members themselves receive very little benefit which is not lost during the long summer va- cation which immediately follows.
By conscientious work on the part of teachers accompa- nied by regular attendance and faithful study on the part of pupils, the Eastham schools may attain a high standard of excellence. Hard, unremitting toil is the price of suc- cess, whether in school or in business. There is no "royal road to learning," and in proportion to the thoroughness

with which we all learn the force of this old saying our ed- ucational system will be improved.
