The State Teachers Institute was
called to order by State S~uJerinten-
dent Cutting at W1nnemucca at 10
O'Clock Monday morning. General
Buckner, in behalf of the residents of
Winnemucca, welcomed the teachers,
ard in a neat address babe them to
consider that the city for the time be-
ing was theirs and that they were t O
make themselves perfectly at home
and he hoped their visit would be a
pleasant as we'll as a profitable one.
He cOmplinented the school ma'rms
particularly, and in a sly way init
meted that some of those from a dis
lance, might before the end of the
week, find the climate ard surround
lngs of Wlnnemucca, as we'll as other
attractions, so necessary to their hap
piness that they would decide to re-
main. He had known school ma'rms
to come to Winnemucca before and
they had taken up a permaren. resi-
denCe there. He also told the bach
elor school1naSters present, that this
was the opportunity Of their lives
and that they should not neglect it,
but while ostensibly there to improve
their minds, there were other matters
of vital Importance to their future
that should receive their attention.
The Generals genial manner and
happy style made the visitors feel as
if they were indeed among good
friends,
Superintendent Cutting responded
IN an appropriate II and then
proceeded with the first days pro-
gram. Miss Grace McGonagle Of
this city was elected Secretary.
Miss Schallenberger of Stanford
University addressed the Institute on
"Number Work" and showed where
many of the methods employed in
the public schools in teaching arith-
metic were wrong and demonstrated
how they might be corrected to the
advantage of the teacher and benefit
of the pupil.
Miss Alice EIDE of Reno presented
an excellent paper on Good Glass
Work in Drawing,' showing by IL
lustration that drawing could be
made interesting and practical. Miss
Ede's work was highly appreciated.
Miss Edith Howe of Carson gave a
reading in excellent style, her elocu-
ton and manne being highly artistic
and entertaining and showing what
can be accomplished in this branch.
A feature of the program was Miss
Schallenberger on "Children's Rights
AS Seen by Themselves. The speak
er demonstrated that children and
their dispositions must be studied in
order to obtain good results. They
should be studied individually as 10
character, peculiarities and natural
ability, also in groups as many of the
traits in a child's character which
never would be noticed when alone
or at home will manifest themselves
when associated with other children.
Miss Schallenberger gave the teach
ers much food for thought on this
subject and many good suggestions
how to overcome difficulties that
might be presented.
There are hundred and eighty
teachers present, forty of whom are
from the Western part Of the State.
A reception and banquet was given
the teachers in the evening and was
largely attended ant greatly enioved.
The Institute promises to be verv
interesting as we'll as profitable to the
teachers. A number of arrivals are
expected later on. The Winnie.
muccans are exerting every effort to
make the stay of the teachers pleas
ant and will no doubt succeed.
