The law requires that all public
schools be closed during the week
of county institute and provides for
the payment Of all teachers in atten'
dance. The best talent attainable
has been secured for instruction and
entertainment. Last year all but
two teachers IN the county were
present at the institute. This year
let there be no absentees. The time
has come when no teacher who val-
ues his reputation can afford to miss
the annual institute,
Thursday, January I'd, will be
observed as Directors Day. Last
year the Directors Association was
organized. This year the first regu-
lar meeting will be held. In the
afternoon Deputy State Supt. Houck
will address the association, 1t is
hoped that every school district in
the county will be representa- at this
meeting.
Teachers holding certificates but
not at the present time actually en-
gagged in teaching, and teachers Of
private schools are earnestly invited
to enroll as members.
