Superintendent Barrett has issued a
leaflet containing notes and suggestions
NAL institutes in Iowa, in which he
gives whole lot of valuable advice
which the instructors would do we'll to
follow In closing he sums 1t up:
The most important thing to be done
in an institute is not to impart infor-
nation that will assist In securing GER
tificate nor to drill in the latest and best
methods of teaching, but to inspire the
lifeless. strengthen the weak, encourage
the discouraged. and elevate the teach
ers ideals of their work and life The
instructor should stand before the class,
a living embodiment of the highest type
of manhood or womanhood, and the best
practical example of what every teacher
Should become. The general exercises,
which bring all the teachers together,
present good opportunity to excite
the zeal. arouse the enthusiasm, and in
crease the interest of teachers in their
own success and that of the schools over
which they may preside"
