FALL RIVER | INSTITUTE
One HUNDRED TEACHERS ATTENDING
HERE, COMBINING WORK and
PLEASURE. LIST OF MEMBERS.

The institute, which will close today
is one of the best ever held here.
Attendance has been large, more than
one hundred teachers being present.
the papers and discussions have been
very profitable and sociability and en-
tertainment have not been lacking.
The institute is under the direction
of Willis b. johnson, whose popularity
with this institute last year caused him
to be recalled He is always instruo
tive and entertaining in his presenta
tion of subjects and he is an enthusiast
in everything he undertakes. South
Dakota history and civics are his spec
ialties. Prof r. Il. Lewis has lectured
and taught on the subjects of American
history, geography and arithmetic.
The music was we'll handled by Mrs.
Anderson who has also given work in
drawing and spelling.
Tuesday evening the teachers had q
swimming party at the Evans plunge.
Following the afternoon program Wed.
nesday they we're shown through the
Battle Mountain sanitarium, a special
appointment being made as courtesy to
the visitors.
The reception of the week was held
Wednesday evening in the rooms of
the Commercial Club. This furnished
better opportunity for the peds-
gogues to become acc TAINTED. A scheme
was used which helped this along. On
each one present q slip beariag his
name was pinned on each ones breast,
while on his back was pinned the name
of some man or woman of note and the
wearer must guess what character she
represented from the remarks made by
the others.
Prot. johnson, who is something of a
poet, humorist and philosopher, along
with his other talents, was called upon
Miss Hopkins, teacher from Moon,
South Dakota, gave very fine Ia i an
club drill With Illuminated clubs, while
the room was darkened. Refreshments
we're served.
Much of the success of the institute
is credited properly to the eff Drts of
the county superintendent and the
teachers appreciate the quiet, unpre
tentious manner of Mrs. Ferguson in
handling the many details of the ses
sion.
A list Of those in attendance follows
and it will be noted that there are more
teachers from other counties than from
Fall River, many coming from distant
points, one being present whose work
is in Porto Rico. This is in part due
to the fact that institute is held here
later than in most places and teachers
who have been absent from their homes
on vacation and have failed to meet
the requirement of attending institute
can slip into Hot Springs and receive
credit for institute work Another
reason is the fact that with the many
recreation features of this city, teach.
ers are able to enjoy the institute week
more here than elsewhere. While this
makes some added work to those con
Quoting the course, it benefits H t
Springs by bringing more people here
