WHICH MEANS LOSS OF SO
DAILY

his year J06 I6dCU6TS are 10 re-
ceive SO per day for attending In
stitute instead of $40 week as
formerly. But if they are absent
the law requires that they should be
fined SO for every days absence,
which means loss of $6 per day
to them. At SO a day it would be
unreasonable for a teacher to ask to
be excused before the end of the last
session"
So said County Superintendent j.
]. Koehler, to a Citizen man, by way
of impressing upon the teachers the
Importance of attending all the ses-
sions of the Forty-fourth annual
Wayne County Teachers Institute
which will be held in the auditorium
of the Honesdale High school, Nov.
1917.
The first session will be held Mon
day morning, November 13, at
1890 o'clock, when the 244 teach
ers will be enrolled. Daily sessions
will be held thereafter, from 9-12 a.
m. and from 1:45 to 4 p. m. The
evening entertainments will COM
mence at 8: 15 p. m.
The Sixteenth Annual Wayne
County School Directors convention
will be held November 16 and II.
The directors of the various
school districts in the county will
meet with the teachers in the High
school auditorium on the afternoon
of November 16 and use the same
| instructors as the institute does.
The directors will also have separ-
ate meeting in the Court Room on
the morning of November II, at
which time DR.. G. NJ. Phillips, prin-
II, -
Normal school, will deliver a lecture
on Important Phases and Sections
of the New School Code, and the
Duties and Powers of the New State
Board of Education"
DR.. Phillips is secretary OF the
State Board of Education of Penn
sylvania, having been appointed to
that important office by Governor
Tener several months ago. A talk

tional board should be of special in
terest to everyone.

county will be delighted to hear of
his coming to Honesdale. He is one
of the most popular educators in the
state at the present time.
The school directors are invited
to bring all their differences to this
meeting and no doubt Dr.. Phillips
will be glad to give them the proper
instruction. A general discussion
will follow the speakers remarks.
