| pect the teachers to report prompts
for the opening at one o'clock Tues

make careful preparation, and excel

expected that d teacher will venture
to ask the superintendent to 'stry
someone else who can do better"
Your best is all that will be asked of
you. Do not lose sight of the fact
that the teacher on the program is
only leading in the discussion and that
we are responsible,asa a result of our
study of the topic, for the success of
the one leading. If this is under
stood thoroughly by all teachers our
institute will not only be success.

forward to an institute with very
much pleasure, and as a result the
work accomplished is poor. The bene-
fit you will derive from this meeting
will be measured by the interest ano
good will you may manifest. Last
January it was the consensus of opin-
ion of all teachers present that the
meeting was success. attribute
this largely to the friendly discussions
and frank expressions participated in
by all teachers. hope you will come

that this institute will surpass the
other in beneficial results.
