TEACHERS INSTITUTE
TO BE In SCRANTON
CarbondaIe Selected Last Year by q
Vote Of 270 TO ISL.
SUPT. TAYLOR MAKES A CHANGE
Exercises His Prerogative and Over
Rules the Action of the '08 Gather
ing--Institute will Convene During
the Week OF September @, an Earlier
Date Than Usual, i'm the Court
House,

What is said to be against the wish
es of 151 of the 270 teachers in the
Lackawanna county public schools
this years teachers county institute
will be held in Scranton. The week be-
ginning Sept. has been decided upon
for the time and the place, as usual,
will be the main room of the court
house.
1t will be remembered that at the
last convention the teachers decided
by the vote mentioned above to hold
the next convention in some place other
than Scranton. The action was taken
On the last day of the convention Of
ter much discussion, pro and con. FL
nally the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the educational inter-
ests of this county could be promoted by
holding the institute occasionally III some
other place than Scranton.
The teachers then decided to hold the
convention at Carbondale. Superin-
terdent Taylor at no time favored the
idea because of the additional expense
which would be occasioned by the rem
tai of hall at Carbondale. In Scran-
ton the court house is placed at the
use of the teachers gratis. Superln-
tendent Taylor, despite the decision of
| the teachers, has named Scranton as
| the place.
The convention week this year, 1t will
| be noticed, is earlier than is usual.
| This is because the convention must
| be held on q week when there Is no
| court session and Superintendent Tay-
| lor in looking over the calendar found
that the institute must be held at an
| early date.
An examination of applicants for per-
manent certificates will be held on Fri
| day In the Office of Superintendent Tay-
| lor. 1t will commence at 9.15 in the
morning, and continue all day. There
! will be eleven applicants. The certifi-
Gates are good for three years, and can
then be renewed without examination
by the superintendent.

1t does seem that vacation should af-
ford some cessation from the daily
grind.
John II. Reynolds, who returned Sum
day night from three weeks spent as
tonsorial servant to Governor Hastings
staff at Camps Birney and Merrill,
stopped on his way home at Strouds-
burg. where he spent Sunday with
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles LaBar, formerly
of the West Side. Mr.. Reynolds po-
sition at governors headquarters gives
him an enviable opportunity to OBJ
serve the every day actions of some
prominent men who are associated
with things military. One of these is
Colonel James Elverson, jr., of the
proprietors of the Philadelphia In
quirer. Colonel Elverson is one of the
governors aide de camps, and at the
two camps just closed he was one of
the most interesting men at the head
quarters. The way such men as Elver-
son so along through this vale of tears
is heartrendcring to some of us. He
was in Barber Reynolds chair one day
at Camp Merrill, and after the delicate
operation was completed, says Colonel
Elverson to Barber Reynolds: How
much?" twenty-five cents" answer
ed Barber Reynolds with salaam.
THAT, for all that work." exclaimed
Colonel Elverson. Here" he con-
tinued, and he deliberately threw 2G
cents at Barber Reynolds. This would
probably sound all right as joke, but
tho truth of the matter is that Colonel
Elverson handed over silver dollar
and took no change. 1t pays to be a
headquarters barber.
