APERSONAL APPEAL TO TEACHERS
Those Who Have Not Attended the Nornaals Urged to
Attend the County Institute at Brandon

Brandon, Miss, July 5--Editor
News: Professional spirit, my love
IoF my homo county, and my interest
In the future of its boys and girls,
impels me to ask space in The News
Tor word to the Rankin teachers in
regard to our coming county institute.
For the paGt few years very small
per cent of our teachers have attended
she state normals and only few have
attended even the county institute of
weeks duration. 1t has been claim
ed by some that the institutes nave
been comparative failures. M
admit that this is partly true. Bt
why were they failures? Why were
we~not benefited? Simply because
we failed to be on hand and get the
instruction. We have always had
among the best conductors in the
state, ! know in many cases this
non attendance OF teachers at normals
and institutes has not been altogether
voluntary. Salaries have been so low
that nothing could be saved out of a
four months term with which to de-
fray ones expenses anywhere away
es's'''sssesa But such is no longer
FROM nome. .ssara,,.;o +;o,,
the case. With a largeE arpropI - q
for sehool funds, longer term and -
live county superintendent comes the
opportunity for improvement which
no real teacher can neglect. The
months instruction and board will be
literally given to the teachers.
Nothing is asked of us but our time.
Of course board will have to be paid
now. but such q diseFimination will
pe msde ia The teachers salaries the
coming term that one who fails to at
tend the institute will lose much
more than the expenses of month 8
stay in Bradnon,
! do not see how any Rankin teach
er who has spark OF interest in the
profession, or the slightest apprecia
tion of teachers s responsibility as a
trainer of children can afford to miss
this opportunity for advancement.
I am ashamed to admit that in the
march of intellectual progress our own
loved county is being left behind.
To what is this due? Certainly not
to lack of talent The old Free
State Of Rankin has hitherto had a
lion's share in the production of Mis-
