INSTITUTE MAY BE
A THING OF PAST
REPORT SHOWS LESS TIME RE-
QUiRED AND GIVEN BY
TEACHERS
Summer Schools in Educational lnsti-
tutions Are Taking the Place Of the
Custom Followed by superintend.
ents For Years.

toneQ county teachers institute may
be thing of the past, according to the
statements of the state superintend-
ent OF public instruction as shown by
his report just issued. According to
the official head OF the educational
department of the state there are nine
ty-nlne county Institutes held or to be
held in this state this year; of this
number flfty-four held two weeks SEES
sions, forty-four counties held only one
week sessions, and one was in session
for three weeks.
In Every County.
For many years past it has been
! customary for nearly every county in
the state to have an institute for the
q benefit of the teachers, and every
s teacher within the boundaries of that
county was expected to attend for the
full time They were conducted by
the superintendent of each county who
would employ faculty of from six
to eight prominent educators, both
men and women, to carry on the work
of the session. These were paid sal
aries ranging from $50 to $500 per
week and many of the leading super
intendents and college professors from
all over Iowa were kept busy from
the time school closed in June till the
opening of the fall term, going from
one county to another, teaching in the
various Institutes throughout the state.
instructors Take Up Other Work.
1t is estimated that many of these
institute instructors earned from $500
to $500 during the vacation, in addi.
ton to their regular salaries, but now
this is gradually changing as the insti-
tutes are reducing the number of
weeks and many of those who were
once in the work nearly three months
4 in the year are now earning their
extra pin money by selling life insur.
ance, travelling for big book concerns
managing chautauquas, travelling for
lecture bureaus, ETC.,
The decrease in the number of
weeks of institute is no doubt due to
the big growth of summer schools
|, throughout the state, there now being
six weeks summer session in all the
state educational institutions and in
every college and academy within the
state all of which are largely attended
mostly by the teachers of the ninety
nine counties of the state. In conse
quence many of the county superinten
dents have decided that it is far better
for the teachers to attend these sum
mer schools of six weeks than to at
tend a county institute for two weeks
Some of the county superintendent
are conducting the county institute in
B connection with the various chautau
quas which are being held in the state
this year by reservihg two hours each
day for lectures upon pedagogical cub
jects by prominent educators.
