Hope Institute.

The institute at Hope last Saturday
was called to order at 80 10y the pres
ide.lt. Mr.. Wagner, of Enterprise.
A. NJ. Crdry, in a few well-chosen
words, welcomed the teachers to Hope.
He said that he longed to see the
teachers profession to the level of that
of any other prOfesSiOn-thought it a
great injustice to ask the teacher 10
make an annual pilgrimage to Mecca
IN order to puzzle his brain over intri-
ca problems propOundtd by STATE
board of education. The teachers
should receive life certificate. Mr..
Crary's remarks We're we'll received by
the teachers and others present.
Mr.. Crawfnrd's response ELECTED
great applause from the audience. He
believed that John Mcdonald should be
elected state superintendent, and was
in favor of bringing the state capital to
Hope.
Sup't. John Mcdonald, of Topeka,
gave practical talk on County Uni
formity of Text Books thought it a
great injustice to the poor people who
are renters. moving from district to
district, to be compelled to buy new
text books every time they move
showed that the school work could be
much more profitably carried on with
uniform text bnoks-in some schools in
Shawnee county are eight or nine differ
ent kinds histories, four or five kinds
of Biographies, arithmetics. etc.
Mr.. Wagner read carefully pre-
pared paper on the writings of Whit
tier, and Miss Ella Teats, of Hope,
gave the biography nf the same. These
papers were followed by recitations,
Miss Mabel Crary reciting Angels of
Buena Vista" and j. H. Engle, "Our
State.n Nearly all the teachers present
took part in the discussion of Whittier
and his writings. and although this was
new feature of our institute work, il
proved to be avery interesting and ben
eficial one.
Mr.. Binders paper on essentials in
geography was full of practical sugges-
lions, and Mr.. Copper's talk on 'Cur-
rent Events showed him to be very
careful reader of the newspapers. BE
thought that newspapers should fur
