Educational Matters.
Superintendent J. E. Clark is send
ing out letters to the county school
superintendents on the matter of
summer institutes. The New Mexico
Normal University has announced
that it's summer school will open
June 6 and close July 29, running
eight weeks with DR.. Frank H. H.
Roberts, conducting, and Mrs. Logue
of Ration and Mrs. Cobb of Las Vegas,
assisting. Every effort will be made
to make the institute work this sum-
mer more interesting and instructive
than ever. Mr.. Clark's letter on the
subject is as follows:
Gentlemen: The time is approach
ing when it will be necessary to
make arrangements with conductors
and instructors for your summer in
stitute in making such arrangements
we urge that you will try to fix the
date OF beginning for the institute so
as to close on one of the following
dates: June 10th, July 1st; July
29th; August 18th; August Goth; or
September 2nd. The reason for our
trying to fix the closing dates in this
way is that we may avoid too many
closing dates and the preparation of
too many sets of questions. Last year
We had eleven closing dates necessi.
tating eleven different sets of ques-
tions. We believe that any county
in the territory can hold its institute
so as to close on one of the foregoing
dates. Please write US with refer
ence to this matter indicating any OBJ
lection which you may have to the
plau.
Please keep in mind that this de-
partment has printed forms for con-
tracts with instructors and conduct
ors which we shall be glad to forward
promptly upon request. Sufficient
number of blanks will be forwarded so
as to enable you to make contracts in
triplicate. We are planning also the
preparation of other blanks for use in
the institute as for instance registra-
ton blanks to be filled out by each
teacher and filed with the county su-
perintendent from which registration
blanks he can furnish the regular in
stitute information required
Enclosed find another copy of the
81
concerning eighth grade examlna-
tions. Please make arrangements IN
accordance with recommendations
made therein.
Yours very respectfully,
j. E. CLARK.
