The committee for each section are re-
qnssted to meet at least three weeks before
the time fixed for holding The institute de-
terrnine the place Of meeting, the number Of
sessions 10 be held, and to arrange a pro-
gram Of exercises, which should be publish
ed in some ofthe comfy papers. The first
named member Of each committee is author
ized to cali this preliminary meeting.
The full program for each institute will
include four sessions-Friday eve iing. SAT-
urday two sessions) and Saturday evening
Committees, however, will arrange for two,
three or four sessions, at their discretion.
Wherever practicable directors and citi-
zens should be invited to take part in the
exercises and be given place on the pro
gram.
COMMITTEES should aim 10 arrange defin ite-
ly for the evening sessions, so as to give the
general public the assurance of interesting
and profitsble exercises. Let them look
well after the musical part of the programs.
The day sessions should be devoted main
ly to practical institute work, but it is hoped
that this will prove none the less interesting
TO all true friends of education.
Wherever circumstances are favorable let
there be exhibitions Of school work from
the schools in the section in which the in
sti;ute is held.
Every teacher is earnestly requested to
attend the institute for his section, and as
many more as possible Let no trivial ex-
cuse keep US from doing our duty in this
line of our professional work. Come and let
US learn of one another how and what to
teach. Let Us reach the people and By our
efforts elevate the standard of eiucAtion and
develope higher ideal of a common school
training among those for whom and with
whom we labor.
