RECORD BREAKING AT-
 TENDANCE INSTITUTE
Today is Third Day and There Are About 150 Teachers En- rOlled-PrOf. Hirst's Attitude Endorsed by Teachers.

oVIuIe opeHeu US lnlfu day session today with perhaps the largest en- rollment in the history of the Insti- ute. Work was assigned to the var lous leaders and school question and problems were opened for discussion.
 The session this year is better representation of the real teachers of Nevada and adjoining counties than any that has been held in recent years. More than usual interest has been taken in the work and especially is this true in the discussion of school problems and methods. A large amount of quiz work has been given also which will be of great benefit to 'the embryo teachers preparing for the June examinations.
 All of this work has been under the direct care and direction of Supt. Hirst, who is perhaps better acquaint- ed with the vital needs of the teach CTS of the county than any other man. MT. Hirst has always been connected with every movement for the better ment of teachers and is a hard stu dent of present day methods and plans, and is in a position to mater tally aid the Nevada county teachers. Nevada county has ever been fore most in school and educational work and where the teachers have the great advantages given here in the institute there Is no reason for a lack of im- provement.
 Addresses yesterday were given by Miss Marcella Arthur, of the Uni ,versity Extension work and Mr. Pot ter, of the Redpath- Horner Chautau- qua System.
 Miss Arthur in the morning spoke of the nature of the Extension Work and it's results, of the great message it carries to humanity. In the after noon Miss Arthur again addressed the teachers on the subject of Food Values Miss Arthur stressed the duty of the teacher in educating the rural districts in the proper selection of vital foods and their preparation. Miss Arthur is well known to the peo- pie of Prescott, having been at the head of the Domestic Science Depart ment of the High School for several years. Her training in public work was easily seen in her wonderful stage presence and personality and her lectures were an inspiration to all.
 Mr. Potter in the afternoon gave a short talk on the nature and value of the Chautauqua. He accented the educational and instructive side of the modern Chautauqua. At the last he gave the program for next week and a short appreciation of each artist
 Tuesday morning the Institute by rising vote gave their unrestricted endorsement of the stand taken by Supt. Hirst in regard to the question of attendance at the institute. MT. Hirst believes that the institute is for the teachers and that they will not get the most out of it unless all attend Too many teachers in other counties, and few in this, attend the institute simply because 1t Is required and do not stop to think of the chance for improvement and advancement that it affords. As result Judge Thomas of Emmet made a motion that the teachers indorse the stand taken by Mir. Hirst to require teach CTS to comply with the law and attend the institute at least three days, which was carried without a dissent ing vote.
 Todays enrolment reached 165 be- fore noon.
