 TAXING INTEREST
TEAcHERs' INSTITUTE ON AT HIGH SCHOOL HAS LARGE
 ATTENDANCE.
County Superintendent Dave Crockett Is Surrounded Daily With Many
 Enthusiastic Workers.

Crockett, held lively session in tue city high school building yesterday where the sessions will be held daily from am. to 12 m, through We'd nesday of his week and to which the public are cordially invited. Interest, activity and enthusiasm mark the proceedings.
 The enrolment, now numbering ninety members, will likely increase to more than hundred Monday.
 Some of the city teachers the ati tending institutes at cool summer her sorts but those who stayed at home are taking advantage of this oppor- tunity, assisting much in the work. The teachers of the rural schools in the county are here in large mum bers and are doing excellent work. There are many bright men and wo- men among them and they are adding much interest to the meeting. Hearty cooperation exists between them and the city teachers in an effort to train students for the duty of citizenship and for the advancement of Arkan- sas--the grand old state.
 The session was opened with a beautiful player by Rev. Riley of the Presbyterian church.
 An address receiving much applause was made by Lawyer James l.. Ora ham in which he set forth the re- sponsibility of the teacher in train ing the citizenship of the country through its boys and girls. The same idea was the theme of Roosevelts address made before the National Educational Association at Asbury Park, N. J. a few years ago when he stated that the destiny of the na- ton was largely in the hands of the public school teachers who are en- trusted with the training of it's men and women.
 
 Messrs. Charles Allison, Superin tendent Crockett, w. J. Derson, Gar nett Broughton and Miss Nancy H. Connolly who were ably assisted by other teachers and received many compliments.
 The main feature of the day was the address made by the popular principal of our city high school, Prof Ury Mckenzie. It was rare treat and no address made before the institute has made more profound impression on that body of earnest men and women. The talk was in be- half of the Arkansas Teachers Read- ing Circle of which Mir. Mckenzie is treasurer. It touched on points too numerous to mention in full but dweIt principally on the opportunity awaiting the teacher to carry forth messages to the people regarding the industrial development of Arkansas through various means but particu- larly in the teaching of the late study incorporated into the curriculum of schools of many of the southern states, the study Of agriculture-the chief industry of the South.
