COUNTY INSTITUTE LETTER
MY DEAR TEACHER.

stitute Will be held at the Washing
ton State College in Pullman, on
April End, Ord and 4th, Attendance
at the Inland Empire Association
meeting in Spokane, the remaining
two days will not be made compul-
sorry this year. If teachers do not
attend in Spokane, they can not, of
course, be paid. for those two days.
They should either teach those days
or make them up later in the term
as disticts would otherwise lose their
attendance money for those two days.
am convinced that the visiting
of schools as it Is ordinarily done,
is of no value to teachers, therefore
no credit will be allowed this year
for visiting.
In case so per cent or more OF the
teachers of the county make the trip
to Spokane, the Northern Pacific Will
give us a special train out OF Pull
man, late Wednesday afternoon. For
this reason, and because school held
on Thursday and Friday would be OF
little value to your pupils | am hop
ing you will plan to go to Spokane.
There will be two detachable cards
on your Institute program, one for
attendance in Pullman, the other for
Spokane. You will leave your at
tendance card for Pullman with the
Secretary of the Institute, before
leaving and will mail the record OF
attendance at Spokane to this Office
later.
The following paragraph from a
letter written by the Travelling Pas
senger Agent of the N. p. should be
read and followed carefully by those
who can take advantage of the one
and one-third fare:
Arrangements will be made so
that teachers in Whitman county
from points on the Northern Pacific
north of Pullman, who wish to at
tend the Spokane meeting can do so
after conclusion of the Pullman
meeting, using our proposed special
train, Pullman to Spokane, on We'd
nesday, April 4th. The proper pro-
cedure in securing tickets under this
arrangement would be, say for teach
ers at Rosalia TO purchase tickets to
Pullman, taking receipt for same, and
also at the same time purchase tick
cts TO Spokane dated April 4th, TAX
ing receipt for same. The certificate
turned in at Pullman would entitle
passenger to return ticket to Rosalia
at one-third rate and the certificate
turned in at Spokane would enable
them to return to Rosalia at one
third rate, thus making it equivalent
to fare and third for the entire dis
lance travelled. The same procedure
would, of course, apply to Oakesdale,
Belmont, Garfield and Palouse. I'm
der this plan there would be two tick
cts for each passenger on the special
train Pullman to Spokane, that is,
the one-third rate ticket from Pull
man to original starting point and
the ticket from such starting point
to Spokane. Both of these tickets
should be delivered to conductor at
the same time"
wish to advise you, strongly, to
make arrangements for room and
board in Pullman before you arrive
there. The Pullman Chamber of
Commerce has kindly taken charge
of securing places for teachers, and
you will write to Mr.. William
Porter, secretary of the Chamber,
you will be provided for.
II you do not secure room and
board beforehand, on your arrival in
Pullman, go directly to the Chamber
OF Commerce room, which is in the
city hall, where all will be assigned
place for the three days and will
be taken in cars to place provided.
The PALACE Hotel. A. II. Dawson,
proprietor, will accommodate only a
limited number of guests. and in
case you wish to stop there. you
should write at once and make sure
that you have a room reserved.
The Enrolling Secretary of the In
stitute will be at the College. in q
room TO be designated later.
Institute program will be mailed
to you as soon as possible / wish
to urge you to save this program and
bring it with you, as we shall have
only the one copy printed for each
teacher The Institute program. this
year will not be so crowded as usual
