COUNTY TEACHERS IN
STITUTE.

Institute for Lincoln County teachers
will be held in the High School Build
ing at Boise. Idaho from Sept. 81, 1917
inclusive. This will be a Joint Insti-
tue as most of you know. We have
changed the plan of Institute some
what, and believe teachers will find
this Institute very profitable to them.
In each department Of Institute you
will have an opportunity of hearing all
Of the different instructors discuss the
particular questions and needs of that
department.
The following talent has been secur-
ed: DR.. Stockton Axson, who will de-
liver a strong course of popular lee
lures; Dean Lotus D. Coffman of the
University of Minnesota; Prof. ]. W.

the Searson- Martin Readers, who will
have charge of the reading; Miss Abbie
Day of Cincinnati, who is a primary
specialist; Prof. Robert Krohn has been
selected for the Department of Physical
Education; Miss Blanche Cahoon. for

cuss supervised study with high school
teachers. At the last session of the
Institute Mr.. Henry T. Johnson will
deliver an address upon the subject,

Superintendents' Section than DR.. Coff-
and will have charge of that work also.
The teaching of reading and arithme-
tic will be specially emphasized.
Teachers Must Attend.
The law makes it the duty of every
teacher to attend Institute. Many
practical suggestions and much en-
thusiasm should be gained from at
tendance. All teachers are paid for
attendance just the same as if teaching,
and Institute week is your first week
of school. The live teacher realizes
his weakness and needs. We should
all be able to get much benefit from
the excellent corps of instructors Sc
lected. and every teacher is expected
to be present the entire week. Pro-
grams will be given on arrival at the
High School building in Boise.
Institute will close on Friday after

to soak the shrunken wheels of their

cellent manager furnish gratiously all
the water necessary in keeping this
street in prime condition for fish-mud
