VISITING DAY FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS

This Friday. the city schools are
closed for the purpose OF allowing
the teachers to visit the Alamosa
schools. The idea OF a visiting day
for teachers is quite common in
some parts OF the country, but is
now introduced for the first time
here. II gives teachers the oppor-
tunity of observing the work and
methods OF other teachers as they
conduct the different classes of their
respective grades. Each teacher
visits the grade she herself teaches.
The city selected is generally one in
which the school system is nearest
In size and general conditions to that
from which the visiting teacher
comes.
Each teacher Is expected to take
notes OF the plans, ideas and meth
DDS observed. and to make a written
report to her superintendent of the
ways in which the visit was helpful.
The benefit to visiting teachers in
the new ideas acquired and inspira-
ton received is found to make the
plan we'll worth while.
Visiting day takes the place of
Washington's birthday this year as a
holiday for the pupils, and enables
the teachers to make a profitable
