work in general for the coming coun-
ty teachers institute and has favored
the Review with a copy. Undoubtedly
this is the only paper in the county
that will furnish the teachers with all
the information contained in Mr.. o.
rvs circular and this issue of the pa
per should be retained for reference.
Mr.. Olry says:
take pleasure in extending to the
teachers and prospective teachers and
all others who are interested in the
education of our boys end girls very
cordial invitation to atterd the 1912
Crawford county institute, which will
convene Monday morning, August
10Th, and remain in session six days.
I have selected this time so that it
will be possible for every teacher who
expects to teach in this county to at
tend without shortening his or her
vacation and in order that each one
may take into the school room the
new ideas and practical plans and
methods received during institute.
Most of our instructors were with
us last year and gave the best of sat
isfaction and l am sure that the pleas
ure of meeting again will be mutual.
The instructors are specialists in the
subjects they teach and no live teach
er will go from institute without hav-
ing more plans and better methods
than used before. You cannot afford
to miss this institute as it is one OF
the most important parts of the years
work. Here We expect to plan for the
months to follow. 1t is the only OPP
portunity a majority of the teachers
have to get professional training so
every teacher or prospective teacher
should plan to attend.
| appreciate the efforts you are max
ing toward the betterment OF the
schools of this county and believe
that you will make the coming year
the best in the history of our county.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all school officers, patrons and to all
those interested in the education and
in the betterment of our public schools
to be present at any or all of the SEES
sions. Your presence will be an in

to attend the evening and graduating
lectures.
