lieve that the good institute workers
those who show the highest degre
OF school spirit, of professional know
edge, should be given the preference
: in positions or in salary, or an in
, crease in salary when possible ths
following year. believe that
] certificate should be granted by tn.
parish superintendent to every teache
at the close of the school session
stating the number or per cent O.
meetings. which the teacher attended
and whether her work was poor
fair, good, very good or excellent
This grading would be close enough
and is feasible, and the certificates
would be honorary and worth some
thing to the holders when applying
for work another year. j recommend
that the board pass some resolution
to conform to this and such other
IDEAS as this report might suggest
each year two or three new edu.
cational works are adopted by the
state institute board for use by the
| teachers at the institutes. These
| books or discussions based thereon
form the base of the institute pro
grams during the year. To this is
added the assignment to individual
teachers of topics peculiar to our
own conditions and needs in the va
rious schools. A period IN every pro
Sram is allotted to what is known
as the superintendent S scritique. AS a
| result of his visitation of the schools
tie superintendent gathers material
| Ill Of n: h
! meet the needs of the teachers and
OF .e school system
IN conclusion, [ wish TO commend
70 the board the splendid service
AID cooperation of the patrons of
the schools, who net olly showed
5heir interest by attending the insti-
tutes, but incurred no little trouble
and expense in providing dinners for
the teachers wherever the meetings
we're held.
