Teachers Notice.
Lafayette County Teachers:

~ LHi"S WIG touh,g ieAchFESs
Owing to the scarcity of insti-
tute funds We cannot have a two
weeks county institute this sum-
mer as We did last year. How
ever, realizing our need Of more
training in order to order the bet
ter to perfect ourselves as teach
ers, | have arranged with the Uni
versity authorities for all LaFay-
cite County to attend the Summer
Normal tree of charge for the en-
tire term of four weeks.
The Chancellor. Mr.. Kincan-
non, has agreed to have the pub
lie school subjects taught for the
benefit OF those who need prepare
ton for taking the teachers ex-
animation. This feature, in adj
dition to the public lectures and
entertainments Gall free) makes
the Normal of inestimable value
to those who have had little or no
training for their work. The
Normal is also the place for the
experienced teacher VINO seeks
further professional Improvement
The hand book you studied in
the institute last summer will be
reviewed. About % per cent of
examination questions are taken
from this book; so bring it along
with you, or call a: my office for
one and bring your text books
also.
Several county superintendent
in Mississippi increase the sala-
rles of teachers who attend Sum-
mer Normals and teachers meet
ings. One superintendent says:
"A teacher who never spends any
time or money attending teachers
! meetings, Institutes, summer nor
mails Or the State Teachers AS
ISOLATION can afford to teach
cheaper than the teacher who
does" | think his policy a good
one not only as a matter of eco
nomy, but the school children are
deprived of instruction from the
best informed teachers. No
teacher can keep fully abreast OF
the times and serve his people
best who fails to attend a summer
Normal.
The Normal begins June 14th
and continues weeks. For bull
fletin of information write Chan
cellor A. A. kincannon or il
may be of service feel free to
command me.
