Must Attend the
Institute,

Withheld.
An Instructive Program For This
Year.

The announcement and programs for
tf At .ute of the teachers Of Akron
AL summit county have been pre-
pared and are being sent to the vari-
Gus teachers. The sessions will be
held at the High school in this city
from August 25 to 20, inclusive. Last
year some Of the teachers failed to at
tend all of the sessions of the insti-
tute, and their absence was in op-
position to the rules of the Board. Their
absence was Investigated and the
teachers who could not furnish sat
isfactory excuses were fined their sal
airy for such days as they were not
there.
To prevent such absences this year,
the section of the rules of the Board
covering this point has been printed;
copies are enclosed in the letters con-
tanning the announcement and pro-
gram which is sent to each teacher
The section of the rules reads as fol-
lows:
Teachers and principals shall at
tend all sessions of the Institute and
no excuse for absence shall he allow
ed other than such as would Justify
absence from regular session of
school. Any teacher or principal who
shall be absent from any session of
the Teachers Institute, for any cause
other than sickness, shall forfeit sal
airy, pro-rata, for the time thus absent.
The Superintendent shall report to
the Board at it's next meeting the
names of all teachers absent from any
of the above meetings without reason
able excuse
