STATE PROVIDES
FOR SESSIONS

Sitting in regular session one day not
many years ago, the Texas legislature
decided that public school teachers
must not quit taking lessons even when
they entered upon the task of giving
them to their pupils.
And, therefore, they enacted a sec
ton which they numbered SO and in
corpOrated in the school laws of the
state, requiring all teachers in the pub
lie schools to attend an institute five
days in the year. with morning and
afternoon sessions, or requiring that at
least they must be in session seven
hours each of those five consecutive
days.
The teachers receive pay for this time
that they devote to learning and dis
cussing books, and teaching, and the
other duties connected with their Of
fices, and a report of the sessions is
sent TO the state department of educa-
ton.
In FL Paso it has been customary to
hold this institute prior 10 the opening
Of the schools and. therefore this year
it will start on Labor Day, continue
through that day and four days follow
ing, ending with the afternoon session
