TEACHERS INSTITUTE
LARGELY ATTENDED
ACTlCALlY EVERY TEACHER
IN COUNTY ENROllEO-All
WORKING TOGETHER.

The most largely attended, as well
as the most Interesting teachers in
stitute ever held in this city adjourn
ed here Saturday oyening, Feb, 3.
The attendance was exceptionally
large, practically every teacher from
Garter county beng Ncrc, and IN ao-
dition to these were a number from
Love, stephens and Johnston coun-
ties
A remarkable feature OF the meet.
ing was the large number who took
part I'M the discussion OF questions
before the meeting. The program
started at SO Saturday morning
and from that nour until G o'clock in
tha evening it WAS one continuous
rodnd OF work. The superintendent,
cerrainl" can find no fault wi;h the
Interest shown by all in attendance.
Two Of those whose attendance
was most earnestly desired were
forced through an unavoidable conGl
ton of circumstances to disappoint
the meetng-State Superintendent Il.
II. VII being kept away ny sick
ness and Prof. Evans OF the Cen
tral state Normal at Edmond being
forced 20 foregO attendance on aC-
count of a previous engagement of
conflicting date. Owing 70 this I'M
fortuna'n absence the evening pro-
gram was dispensed with
As previously stated the attenu
/ anco from Carter county was eXccp-
tioraIly large Teachers from all
over the county We're coming in all
throueh Friday night. One instance,
that of Prof. ]. ID. Evans, principal
! Of the Tussy schools, who drove -
mile, overland from the extreme
northwest conner of the county to
attend, viii serve as an example o.
the lcalousness manifested nv all
in the melting.
While space forbids opr entering
! into detail, vet there were some fea.
/ lures of the occasion which We feel
should be mentioned. One of these
was an original song--" Oklahoma
composed by Henry Hostetter, .
rural teacher, which was rendered by
the teachers present while MI Hos
tet er himself played the accompani
ment upon the violin.
lack LONDON so farorably known
rs a past master o. his art, rel
dered some of the most delightful
selections upon his violin, and Miss
Boone. teacher Of vocal anI nstra
mental music at Hargroye College
as we'll as Mrs. NCClintock, instruct
or of music in the cit schools, con
tributed materially to the pleasure
of all assembled.
Dr T.. j. Woodward read paper
on Oral Hygiene" and Prof. r. J
Williams of Milburn made a splendid
talk on the Man Behind the Door.
Prof. Robt. Michael of Fox spoke a
length upon the Educational Worl
in Carter County while the ad
dress of Assistant Superintendent b
F. Rodgers upon the Rights of the
Child" was both entertaining and IN
structive.
rhe Misses James and Noble
teachers of the second ana third
grade, respectively, brought then
classes before the assembled teach
ers and had them go through theii
| lessons.
The last and probably the most IN.
tcrasting feature Of the meeting was
| The open discussion OF the mectine
for the 10Th and 18th Of April
superintendent Richards contribute
ed largely to the success of the
| meeting, as did DR.. Martin of Har-
grove College. The latter gentleman
is president of the Carter County
Teachers Association He was chair
man of the meeting and as pre-
siding officer was above criticism.
Ardmorc certainly did herself
proud in the entertainment Of the
teachers, the homes of oar citizens
being thrown open TO all who cared
to avail themselves of the hospital
ity. In addition TO this the Misses
Hunter and Mr.. Biclel rendered free
2dmssion 10 their moving picture
shows.
The teachers departed for their re
spective homes after adjournment
loud in their praises of the open
handed welcome given them by Ard
