7 HE TEACHERS
Held a Successful Institute
in this City during
D the past Week.

II The closing of the Teachers Institute
today marks another step forward along
different lines in that progressive prof
ession. In point of numbers, interest,
and enthusiasm. it was the best in the
history of Bottinesu county.
The institute was conducted by Prof.
w A. Godward of Hlllsboro. Mr..
Godward is clear and concise in his
manner of instruction and though
strict disciplinarian, his pleasant ways
made him universally liked.
Little is needed to say in regard to
Miss Miller of Fargo, who instructed
the teachers in primary methods, as
this is her third year in Bottineau
county, and she is too we'll known and
liked to need any introdcutiop.
Il Not little credit of the work done
however, is due to Supt. Christensen
and to the teachers themselves.
We are glad to note that the people
of our county are at present, more
fully than before. the superiority of
our educational interests over sporting
news and petty political quarrels.
The lecture Ivy Prof. Randett, Of
the Agricultural' College, was fairly
we'll attended. Supt. Christensen in
announcing him observed that the
subject of agriculture would PROBABLY
be dry one to the teachers. In ans
wering, the Professor remarked that
eff the Supt. had tried as hard to
raise patch of potatoes as have,
with the amount of moisture we have
had be would not call the subject a,
Is'dry one. His lecture proved con-
jclusively that it was not theoretically,
''dly.''
Mr.. Randlett showed how "Mary''
could combine her studies with eA'
periments along certain lines of clean.
illness and housekeepingt hereby in.
creasing her interest at,school and i'm
fproving hygenic conditions at home
and how "John'' could experiment
with different kinds of seed grain and
become a better farmer. also of the
relation of agriculture to tho course OF
study. We will all be pleased tc
hear Mr.. Randlett again. .-

The teachers speak very highly u
the hospitality of the private families
Of Bottineau who opened their doors to
them so freely, and entertained 50
royalty during the institute, at so
little cost to the teachers. Not SO
much can be said of the hotels, or one
Of them at least, who preferred not to
have them come, and charged them
higher prices than transient boarders.
