 Interest centered in the work on teaching, reading. the class being led by Miss Maud Ryan and sp.endidly developed by her assistants. In this connection, especial credit should be given to Miss Mary Jordan and Miss Alto McGee.
 Miss Jordan gave the institute real treat in conducting model read ing lesson, having present class of children of the second grade. The little folks read beautifully, their ex- pression being particularly good The lesson used were of the dialogue or dramatic order and especially valuable in bringing out expression.
 It Is to be regretted that authors Of text books on reading do not have more of this style of reading in their works, as 1t is especially adapted to teaching expression and especially en- joyed by children.
 This particular lesson was The Bat," and the pleasure Of the chil- dren in taking the parts of the rat. the birds, and u bat showed that such lessons are not dull, dry read ing to them and can be made most entertaining and instructive as con ducted by Miss Jordan. Miss McGee presented The ylage Blacksmith in manner to make the already popular poem more dear, her chief aim being to develop the beauti- full line of thought and sentiment this result being attained in an ad- mirable manner.
 The hearts of the little folks in Miss Jordans class were made glad by a treat from County Supt. Crock ett who gave them money to buy ice cream~-a treat much prized by chil- dren these hot days. The act was not only a tribute to the children for their delightful contribution to the institute but showed the kindly na- ure of County Supt. Crockett who is particularly fond and considerate of children.
 The closing feature of the program was the talk by County Supt. Crock ett and the beautiful words of bene- diction by Rev. Small of the Christ ian church.
 Mir. Crockett expressed apprecia- tion and thanks to the teachers for the hearty endorsement and coopera- tion shown by them in making sue cess of the institute. He referred to the fact that this had been the larg- est meeting he had ever attended in this county and expressed pleasure in the evident peace and harmony shown in the proceedings, of the zeal of the teachers and the pleasure he had felt in the good will shown toward him by them. He made it especially clear that he was ready at any and all times to accommodate them in fur thering the good of the county in all fair and honorable methods but that at no time would he violate his trust as county examiner and county super intendent. He expressed the hope that all would successfully pass the teach CTS examinations, but reminded them that it was no disgrace to fail if one had tried to win and that the thing to do was to try again until success crowned effort.
