TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Program for Meetings to be Held In
Ellsworth Next Week.

Ellsworth Next Week.
One hundred or more teachers are ex-
pected to be in attendance at the teachers
institute to be held in Ellsworth four days
next week, beginning Tuesday, under the
auspices Of the State department OF edu-
cation.
The institute is planned especially for
the assistance of teachers OF rural
schools, and is open to teachers OF Han
cock county and the neighboring towns
Of adjoining counties.
The institute will be more on the plan
OF the summer schools than OF the usual
teachers institute, the program being
made up entirely of talks by the instruct
ors at the forenoon and afternoon sessions,
with special addresses and music in the
evening.
State Superintendent Smith calls special
attention to the fact that the work of
each of the regular instructors will cover
in consecutive order plans and methods of
teaching the several subjects, thus
teachers will not secure the best results of
the institute unless they are present at
all sessions. 1t is especially desired that
all teachers report promptly for the OPEN
ing session.
Arrangements have been made by a
committee of Ellsworth teachers and
Superintendent Conley to provide board
ing places, and teachers planning to at
tend should notify Superintendent Il. W..
Conley, Ellsworth, as early as possible.
