Teachers Institute,

The Teachers Institute in sessio
IN the High School auditorium Ia.
: <eek, was viewed by many as the mo.
successful ever held in Jefferso
. County.
| Rarely has it been the privilege c
those connected with, or intereste
in, the institute to listen to such eA
tremely interesting and eminentl
beneficial addresses as those give

/ of Wheeling, and DIR. o. / Woodle,
President OF Fairmont State Normal
School.
/ Supt. Jacobs, one of the most ex
perienced City and District Superin
tendents in the State, dealt with
acquainted with all phases OF educa
tional work.
DIR. Woodley, the kind of instruc
tor and speaker that causes even tht
most formal audience to throw aside
formality and feel perfectly at ease
dealt chiefly with the fine arts, music
language, painting, etc, especial,
music, and his endeavors to create a
greater appreciation of art, hence
more refinement, have certainly been
successful.
By his explanation of song, and
what can really be accomplished with
it, DIR. Woodley caused all to be new
ly imbued with the spirit and rhythm
OF several type songs, and to under
stand and appreciate better, the pa
thos that should accompany ali song.
The attendance was excellent, the
number enrolled being higher than at
any institute in recent years. Accom-

State supt of Schools NJ. P. Shaw |
key attended the Teachers Institute
on Monday afternoon, and in an adj |
dress, repiete with enthusiasm and |
spirited remarks, enlivened the occa-
sion and refreshed the thoughts OF |
all as only Supt. Shawkey can
Dean Frank B. Trotter, of the |
school Of Arts and Sciences, and |
President ad interim of the West Vr-
ginia University, who because of I'M
expected but necessary duties at the
University could not spend the whole
week at the institute, was present or
Tuesday and delivered two splendid
addresses.
DR.. Harriet B. Jones, in two ex-
tremely beneficial lectures, one 10
the ladies' of the institute on Sex
Hygiene, in the auditorium of the
High School building, and one to the
public on tuberculosis, at the Court
House on Tuesday evening, made a
splendid impression on all who heard
her.
As a diversion from the regular
routine of work, special musical
program was rendered on Thursday
and Friday by institute talent.
Under the efficient direction of
Supt. Grantham, and the instructors,
this institute has drawn more real in
terest from all present than any in
the past.
