the increased crime conditions OF

pleasant that they will be glad to

TEACHERS OF
THE COUNTY
Assembled in Large Numbers
Last Saturday
INTERESTING AND
SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE
Every Section of County Represented
About Fifty Rural and Town
Teachers Present

The teachers institute Of rural
and town schools of Otero county,
held in this city last Saturday, is
reported to have called out the
largest attendance that has been
assembled for long time, there
being close to SO gathered here.
And not only was the attendance
record-breaker but it was most
representative of the county,
teachers being present from Omer,
over 26 miles; Benton and Cheraw,
1S and 20 miles, and other outly-
ing sections remote from railroad
facilities. In consequence of the
large attendance the institute was
most successful and interesting.
During the forenoon the insti-
tute discussed the work laid out for
country teachers by the Reading
Circle Board of the State and many
of the members received informa-
ton that will prove of great bene-
fit to them in the future.
In the afternoon the institute
was divided into sections-prim-
ary, grammar and high schools
and each section discussed prob
lens pertaining to it's particular
work.
Prof. Worcester, of the Rocky
Ford high school, delivered an
instructive address on the teach
ing of Latin, and Superintendent
Ward of the Rocky Ford schools
gave a very profitable talk on "a
Course in Agriculture Suited to
Small High Schools"
County Superintendent Phillips
discussed the "Best Method of
Developing Initiative in Students,
in most able manner.
One of the most interesting
addresses was by MISS La Shler
of Fowler on Bleaching Of Litera-
ture so as to Promote a Higher
Appreciation for it."
The general discussion was
perhaps the most important part
of the days proceedings and the
teachers were all highly pleased
that they had attended theinstitute.
Plans are now under way for a
general county meeting, taking i'll
the .ity teachers as we'll as those OF
rural and town schools, to be held
in this city January l3. Promin-
ent instructors and professors from
universities and colleges of the
State are being invited and it is
proposed to make the coming
meeting the most important that
