Teachers Institute

Barbour county Las the unique distinc-
tlon oil being the only county in West
Virginia all of whose institute instructors
come from other states. This is a dis
tinct advantage to our people. Local
problems will be dealt with by local
talent, and to this will be added the
broader, richer experience of those who
by study and travel have especially fitted
themselves for the work they are doing.
A glance at the scedule OF county in
stitutes will show that comparatively few
of them will have music instructors The
reasons for these are: Lack OF men and
women who can arouse the spirit of en-
thuslasm simply through music, and lack
of state funds to pay for the trained SER
vice available at this season of the year.
For the past two years Barbour teachers
have had one of the two or three really
good music teachers available, and, this
year we are even more fortunate in hav-
ing Mr.. E. B. Bailey, of Baltimore, Nd.
in that capacity. His music will speak
for itself.
Miss Susan Chase, of Buffalo, N. Y,
will have charge of the primary work and
will give most of her time to the young
teachers, while DR.. Arthur Powell OF Gin
cinnati, Ohio, will discuss every day
problems IN the school room. Both in
structors are known by many of our
teachers. Miss Chase has been an IN
in Barbour county and DR.. Powell
in an adjoining county, Harrison.
The night sessions will be as interest
ing as the day meetings. The "Annual
Social" Monday night will be under the
auspices of the Ladies Foreign Missionary
Society of the M. E church. 'The An
Clio Saxon and The Future Rulership OF
the World" is the subject OF lecture by
John Merritt Driver, OF Chicago, foi
night, Those who have heard
DIR. Driver know his power as speaker.
State Superintendent Shawkey will be in
our institute Wednesday and speak to us
night We bespeak warm
welcome for him who is one of the most
If not the most efficient state superinten-
dent West Virginia has had. Thursday
night will be either "Stery Hour or
with the American Fleet Around the
World" an illustrated lecture. The!
Philippi orchestra will furnish music for
all the evening sessions.
Friday will re School Officers day.
We extend cordial invitation to all to
attend our sessions both day and evening.
The institute will be held in the circuit
court room beginning at 1890 O'Clock
Monday morning, August 25th.
