From Mondays Daily.
| The Wapello County Institute con-
vened for three weeks session at
the Adams school building in this city
today. Over 154 teachers were enroll
ed up to noon, which is by far the
largest number ever in attendance on
the opening day. Many more arrived
at noon, and the number in attend
ance tomorrow morning will be equal
to what it generally is after the nor
NAL has been in session for a week or
more.
Beniah Dimmitt, superintendent of
public instruction in Wapello county,
has planned the work of the present
normal to meet the needs of both
those who are teaching and those
who are preparing to teach. The en-
rollment this morning shows very
large number of the latter class which
is evident that the advantages set
forth in the present normal thru the
efforts of Superintendent Dimmitt are
4 fully appreciated by the younger
teachers of the county.
There is demand for well trained
teachers, and it is necessary for con-
tinuous preparation on the part of the
teacher to keep pace with the times.
The institute this year promises to
be the best ever held in the county.
i The entire morning session today
was devoted to the work of enroll
ment, and this afternoon assignment
of the teachers is the program. To
morrow the work of the institute will
be taken up in form.
