INSTITUTE TO
HA6ERMAN

The Chaves County Teachers In
stitute held its last regular session
and business meeting this morning
and. as announced as probable in the
Record yesterday, voted to take the
next annual meeting to Hagerman, in.
stead of holding il in Roswell as al
ways done heretofore. 1t was not a
unanimous sentiment, however, to
take the meeting away from the coun,
ty seat, for the vote that carried the
proposition was 81 10 20. And it must
be remem bered that Roswell received
the vote of 90 with none of the regu-
lar city teachers there to defend the
city.
The vote was taken after remarks !;
and what was said was a-plenty.'
The undercurrent showed that Ros-
we'll was the natural place for the in
stitute, considering its acconmoda-
tioas, central location, etc, but addi-
tional to this was the feeling among
some that Roswell felt a little too big
to give notice to SO small a thing as
the teachers institute" as one mem
ber said in a speech in which he was
plugging for Hagerman. Dexter and
Lake Arthur were placed in nomina-
ton for the next meeting place but
did not receive seconds.
The resolutions of the meeting had
been adopted and showed no bitter
ness over Roswell's lack of attention
to the visiting teachers. for such a
lack of attention did exist. They are
given in full below.
The teachers showed a very friend
by feeling for County Superintendent
C.. c. Hill by presenting him with a
set of silver back military hair brush
es, the presentation speech being
made by A. F. Adair of Hagerman.
This was the first time such a thing
has been done in the history of the
county, and speaks for Supt. Hills
popularity.
Farewell speeches were made by the
conductor. Prof. J. II. Vaughn, and
instructor. Prof. Dickey. Both were
highly complimentary in speaking of
The teachers of Chaves county. Prof.
Vaughn left today for his home. Prof
Dickey will be here several days.
The examinations will be i1eld to-
morrow.
