COUNTY TEACHERS
HOLD INSTITUTE
Meeting of City and County School
Ma'ams Here Last Friday
and SATURDAY.

!
About so teachers or prospective
teachers assembled in the school
building last Friday for the opening
session Of the joint city and teachers
institute. This number, in addition
| to the visitors who were present at
each session, taxed the capacity of
the assembly room.
| 1t is not possible to do much teach
ing in such a short session, but the
teachers who sought assistance went
away feeling that they were more
than paid for their attendance. The
spirit which prevails in these meet
ings is such that the teacher who
has become somewhat disheartened
will be encouraged to renewed activi-
ty and consequently be able to do
more and better teaching.
Prof. Frank M. Jack, institute con-
ductor of the River Falls State Nor
NAL School, is man of great re-
sources and ability. He presented
his exercises SO enthusiastically that
the spirit was catching, and practi-
cally all carried away gems of truth
that will recur to them time and
again.
Most of the time was spent upon
the subject OF reading. This subject
appears to be the one in most need
of better instruction. All the other
branches of study depend upon it,
and in fact the whole future OF the
child will unfold Systematically ii he
is a good reader.
| The lecture Friday evening, given
in the Congregational church, was
we'll attended by an appreciative
audience. Prof. Jack endeavOred to
impress upon the minds of more OF
the people the Importance of better
public schools and a better attend
ance in the same, that our citizens
would be of a higher type.
County Supt. Mackin reviewed the
U. S. system of land survey in way
that should enable the teachers to
present it better to their pupils.
City Supt Mccormick spoke of the
preparation needed for high school
work and pointed out several de-
| ficiencies which, If corrected, would
not only make better high school
pupils, but persons better fitted to
enter the arena OF life.
Miss Wightman gave talk about
constructive work rprimary grades
and Illustrated it with specimens
made by the Training School pupils.
The opening exercises, consisting
of song and an indian club drill by
the high school girls, was appreciat-
ed by all. The fourth and fifth grades
furnished songs in the Congregation
al church and there was also some
music by the orchestra.
Considering all things, it was an
exceedingly pleasant and profitable
institute.
