Cb) a school Of agriculture. home eco
Monies and manual training.
Leading educators of Nebraska and the
United states will be present to give in
struction along the various lines Of work
for administrative school officers. teachers
and Institute workers. The presidents OF
the state, private and UNCONVENTIONAL
schools authorized by law to grant
teachers certificates In Nebraska, and
leading members OF their faculties, the
principals OF the Junior normal schools, as
well as leading Institute instructors, have
been invited to take part on this program.
Hon. J. Y. Joyner, superintendent Of North
Carolina and president of the National
Education association, and the state super
intendents of Kansas, Iowa, Missouri,
Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota are
among those with whom superintendent
Bishop is negotiating for speakers at this
institute. The need Of such a state insti-
tute for he purpose OF u~nlfying the
methods Of instruction In county institutes,
Of ha";nonizing the different systems Of
certificstion in Nebraska, and Of sys-
tematizing school interests along various
lines. has long been recognized by the
leading educators Of the state.
The interest in all lines of Industrial
education and the demand by teachers for
an opportunity to prepare better for such
work make a school Of Agriculture, home
economies and manual training of excep-
tiOrai Importance at this time. Short gen
eral courses OF instruction will be given by
the professors and instructors of the indus
trial departments of the university and by
other workers of vide experience in these
fields. Superintendent Bishop desires to
give more definite direction to the move
ment for education in all Industrial lines
which affect public school courses and to
assist city and county superintendent in
correlatlng industrial instruction with the
academic work of our public schools.
The University of Nebraska will CO.
operate with the state department of educa-
ton In making both of these schools as
planned by Superintendent Bishop of the
highest usefulness to the educational inter-
ests of the state.
Chancellor Avery and Superintendent
Bishop unite in a call to the educators of
Nebraska to attend a school Of superin-
tendence and instruction at Lincoln on
June 6 to II, to be devoted to the study
of elementary and secondary education.
During these two weeks a careful study
will be made of the problems of superin-
tendence and administration, as we'll as
the problems of instruction in city, village
and rural schools. Several of the leading
educators of Nebraska and Ct the United
States will be secured for this work.
