The Institute H. Now Thoroughly or
ganIzed-Attcndnnc

The institute Of methods Is now thor
oughly organized, and the interest
manifested indicates that the member
ship is composed OF teachers who be-
iieve that there Is more In teaching
than mere ability to pass examinations
and comprehend the subject matter OF
the textbook.
Many Of the brightest teachers Of
the state are attending, and not be-
cause they are required to do so, but
because they are interested in scien-
tlnc study OF teaching and because
they desire to be more helpful TO the
children OF next year than they were
to those of last.
Superintendent sutton's class In ped
agogy meets at $3.50 each morning. At
present the subject Of Attention" is
being carefully studied, because, as
superintendent sutton says, attention
is fundamental in the work OF every
teachers, and unless the teacher secures
and retains the undivided attention OF
the class during the recitation. the
work of that teacher is failure.
Miss Firth, who will have charge of
primary methods. is expected to be
with us this morning. Her work thus
far has been ably carried ON by Mrs.
House. who will now devote her en-
tire time to intermediate methods.
Mrs, House impresses everyone with
the belief that the many good things
which she says are not simply theory,
but are drawn from her stock OF ex-
perience.

sidered yesterday were factoring and
