 NJ. B. Hazeltine, president of tho Prescott school board, welcomed tho visitors with cordial greetings from District No. 1.
 The first lecturer was A. A. Macur. da from the department of education of the Los Angeles Normal school Under His Own Motive Power" was the subject of a most interesting talk NIT. Macurda possesses a keen, kindly sense of humor which flashes occas. ionally to the delight of his audience His courageous optimism made the address unforgetable.
 Dr. Blome, president of the North ern Arizona Normal school, combined most happily freshness of vision that is usually associated with youth and a depth of understanding that can only come with maturity in his splendid talk on Discipline Through Instruction"
 One of the most helpful numbers on the program was the discussion of Conservation of Time" led by JIG. Muerman, of the L. s. bureau of edu- cation, Washington, D. C. Mir. Muer- man is an educational expert of the widest experience, and the directors of the institute program are to be con graduated in obtaining him. He de- lighted all loyal Arizonans by express ing some very complimentary opin- ions as we'll as constructive criticism of our city and county schools. Mir. Muerman called upon Mir. Stevenson of Jerome, Mir. Derrick of Camp Yer de, and several others to illustrate efficient methods of conservation in various departments.
 Vocal numbers by Miss Gladys Fox and Miss Margaret De Garmo of Pres colt, Miss Radley and Miss Wingheld of Jerome, were greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
 At the afternoon session, Mir. Ma curda's second address on "Person- ality" was handled with interest and skill Dr. Blome spoke a few kindly words of encouragement and advice to all members of the profession. His school duties called him north again so he could give but one day to the institute
 The latter part of the afternoon was spent in sectional work, which is both valuable and efficient. Miss Collins of Jerome, talked to the primary sec ton on Work With Foreign Chil dren." E. V. Latham of Clarkdale, spoke of The Child at Play" in the grammar section and Principal T. c. Blue had charge of the High school section.
 The reception given in the evening by the Prescott teachers in honor of their guests was as delightful as only a perfectly managed entertainment can be- The High school auditorium was artistically decorated in pastel shades. The guests comfortably and socially seated at small fower-decked tables were served with refreshments while they were entertained with delightful program.
