Some are inclined to think that the
teachers should not be paid for attend

Der declare that if teacher cannot
get 80 worth of instruction and good
from the institute each day he or she
attends they had better remain at home.

be true so far as it goes but these who
make the assertion do not go deep
enough into the problem for if they
did they could but feel and know that
every teacher secuies more than 50
worth of instruction daily and that
the schools will be benefited thereby for
what the teacher learns will go to the
pupils and thus the standard of the
schools will be raised by reason of the
annual institutes Then why not pay
the teacherf What benefits the schools
