The Chitwood Institute.

County School Superintendent Geo.
Bethers conducted local teachers in
stitute Wednesday at Chitwood which
has probably never been surpassed in
merit and attendance by any local in
stitute ever held in the county. Miss
Mamie Wakefield, the efficient and
popular teacher in that district, had
evidently been taking commendable
interest in the institute, for the teach
ers, patrons, pupils and other visitors
more than filled the seating capacity of
the schoolhouse.
Papers upon the following subjects
were read and resulted in much inter
esting discussion:
"Oregon Forests" Miss Palmer; read
by Superintendent Bethers.
Patriotism in Oregon Schools" Miss
laamie Wakefield.
Study VS.. Staring" Mrs Baxter.
Moral Education" Miss Addie Har-
rison.
History" o. B. DeLaurier.
"Old and New Methods" D. j. Chit
wood.
These papers were without exception
strictly hi2hgrade and reflected credit
upon their authors. Patrons OF the
school-P A. Miller, NJ. r. Whitney.
A. L. Mcdonald and d. j. Chitwood-
took laudable and lively interest in
the discussion.
The Chitwood school is in good con-
dition and has some bright pupils for
whose accommodation all effort is being
made TO introduce studies higher than
the Eighth grade. This subject was
discussed at length and will probably
result in the desired addition.
The noon hour was a very important
and highly enjoyable period OF the ses-
sion. Patrons of the school brought
baskets filled with all kinds of good
things and the visitors who participated
IN this feature were eloquently appre-
ciative. A pair OF the hungry visitors
accepted an invitation to luncheon from
Mrs. M. l.. Trapp. Future invitations
from that source will be accepted when
ever possible.
The institute must necessarily result
in good to that school district, and the
hospitality of the citizens will never be
forgotten by the visitors.
Those in attendance from Toledo
were: Superintendent and Mrs George
Bethers and daughter Eudelle, Miss
Addie Harrison, O. b. DeLaurier, Mr.
and Mrs R. Ii. Howell, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
+. Soule.
