The Teachers Institute.

AS previously announced in the Ban
ner, the white teachers of our parish met
here Monday to attend a weeks session
of the Parish Institute. We arespleased
to state that the attendance is unusually
good and that much interest is being
taken in the daily meetings by both
teachers and instructors. They are all
well attended.
Our townspeople are entertaining the
teachers in their usual hospitable man
ner and to all-both residents and teach
ers-the week is passing like holiday
season.. The gatherings are all being
held in the new school building, which
is gayly decorated with colored bunting
and flags of various sizes. The building
easily accommodates the crowds, and all
our visitors have greatly admired it on
account of it's architectural beauty and
commodious arrangement.
One OF the Institute instructors COM
plimented the people of Benton upon
their unusually large attendance at the
sessions and upon the enthusiasm mani
tested by them. Our people can always
be depended upon to esteem highly the
best of everything, hence their appreci-
alton of the efforts of the Institute fac
ulty is easily explained,
An interesting feature of yesterdays
meeting was the discussion of "Alterna-
ton of Work" by the State Conductor.
He has had working experience OF
fifteen years in the public schools of the
State and is we'll qualified to help the
teachers in their problems, and es-
pecially those who teach in ungraded
! schools.
