teachers institute in Butte September
3. This date had been decided upon
but it was thought it would be neces-

that the high school where the meet

learned that no other date could be Sc
cured as the institute programme for
the state had been made out. Bills to
the amount of $947.S5 were ordered paid
and 1t was decided to allow the teachers
salaries the week they attend the insti-
