Two hundred and seventy-five of the
rural and town teachers of Crawford
county were in Denison Thursday and
Friday In attendance at the inspira
tional institute which was held at the
central school building and from re-
ports, it was one of the most success
full meet of its kind ever held in the
county. The attendance at the meet.
ing exceeded the expectations Of coun-
ty superintendent, F. N. Olry for out
|of the 1O9 town teachers in the county
106 were present and of the 152 rural
teachers, 146 were registered. The
large attendance no doubt was due to
the fact that an exceptional program
had been arranged and the faculty
was the very best obtainable. The
teachers who came to learn and enjoy
the lectures went home with feeling
that their time was we'll spent.
The instructors were live men and
women in school work who have speci-
allied in their respective branches,
and they gave to our teachers, the
cream Of years of experience. The
superintendents and high school in
structors praised highly the lectures
and other work given them and were
in attendance until the last minute of
the meetings.
DR.. w A. Jessup, president Of the
Iowa State University, was present
and gave three very excellent lectures.
His lecture ON Habit" was full of
thought for teachers, as we'll as others
and was one of the treats of the insti-
tute.
Miss Cora Mel Patten, lecturer and
literary interpreter, gave the teachers
some excellent helps in the teaching
of reading and in vitalizing literature.
Her lecture on Reading: Its Place
and Purpose" was well worth coming
miles to hear.
J. H. Beveridge, superintendent of
the Omaha schools, gave three inter-
esting lectures and the round table
meetings presided over by him, were
of great benefit to high school instruct
Ors.
J.C McGlade, head of the extension
service at Iowa State Teachers college,
