FROM THE COUNTY SEAT
HAPPY LOT OF TEACHERS.

Conconully. Wash, Oct. S.-"Dee-
lighted was the one word used
| freely by the upwards of one hundred
school teachers of the county who
were here last week in attendance up
ON the twentieth Annual Okanogan
Ieachers institute referring to the
various sessions and the treatment ac-
corded them. The sessions ended
Thursday evening with grand ball.

Tor the event. Just before the dance
and supper the COncOnully mae lQuar-
tette rendered two selections and Mrs
l.. q. Diven gave an entertaining and
pleasing address on THE Beautiful
Highways OF the World"
1t was impossible to follow the pro-
gram as published strictly as the visit
ing instructors. Messrs Edward Nc
Mahon and II. G. Lull were able to be
in attendance Tuesday and Wednesday
only, but during that time they were
heard to advantage upon several Oc-
casions.
The one feature which proved more
helpful to the teachers than possibly
any other was the section work
Teachers of the county only were the
speakers at these sessions which were
held in the high school building Thurs
day morning. In one room, primary
work was the sole topic, in another
grammar school work and in the third
room high school teaching was the
subject. The addresses by the teach
ers. Mrs. Alta Ventzke on number
work, Miss Mabel Woody on reading,
Miss Annabel Bovine on language
work and e. A. Allison on "A System
of Presenting Primary Work. were OF
especial interest and provoked earn
est discussion. In the grammar Sec
ton, the speakers We're Mrs e. G.
OKeefe on reading, Miss Fay M. Riste
on language and Miss Edna GoOding-
on geography. They handled their
subjects in an entertaining manner and
the discussion which followed was
general.
One of the ablest addresses of the
entire institute was given in the high
school section by Prof. R. w. Dow, of
Twisp, on Practical History for the.
High School Student The discussion
following this was participated in by
every teacher, Prof. G.. M. Burnham,
of Okanogan, taking the lead. The
other speakers and their subjects were
"The Place of Foreign Languages in
the High School, Miss Stella Dalton,
of Omak; English in the High
School," Prof T. H. Hayes, Riverside;
"The Teaching Of Agriculture in the
High School," Prof Burnham. So en-
thusiastic did the teachers become in
their discussion that it was unani-
mously voted to request the committee
on resolutions to draft a resolution to
Supt Gamble requesting that the sec
ton work be held two half days during
the next institute instead of one half
day as heretofore. Supt. Gamble stat
ed that if he was in charge another
year he would gladly ascent to the
wishes of the teachers.
