TEACHERS INSTITUTE
HERE APRIL z, 3, 4
County pedagogues viii Convene at
state College for Annual Meeting
DR.. SuzZallo Slated for
Address

County Superintendent Miss Bus
hey has announced that the annual
Whitman county teachers institute
will be held in Pullman, at the
Washington State College buildings.
on April ,, ,, 4. The dates for the
Inland Empire teachers institute at
Spokane are for the remaining DAYS
of that week, April ), 6, Z, and the
Whitman teachers will attend the
sessions Of that organization as a
part of the work of institute week.
Miss Busbey is endeavoring to Sc
cure some new features for the in
stitute this year, especially along
the line of training in industrial ed
ucatiOn. Through the use of the
paraphernalia and equipment of the
Washington State College more work
along industrial lines can be given
this year over preceding years, and
Miss Busbey is determined to take
advantage of the offer of the college
of its entire equipment and corps of
instructors for use during institute
week.
While she has already outlined in
her own mind plans for carrying on
the coming institute, Miss Busbey
is not yet ready to make full an
nouncement; preferring to wait un-
oil III Is Of
completed However, she has al
ready engaged the services of one
eminent lecturer, DR.. e. II. Lindley.
of the faculty of Indiana University,
who will deliver several lectures.
Miss Busbey was able to secure the
services of this eminent sociologist
only by reason Of the fact that his
services have been engaged Jointly
by Washington State College and
Reed College of Portland for a
course of lectures covering the latter
half of the present college year, and
he will therefore be in this section
during institute week.
DR.. Su2zaIlo of the State Uniyers-
ity. will likely be one of the lectur-
ers, providing the doctor is con-
WINGED that a visit to Pullman at
that time will be a safe risk.
Miss Busbey will attend the regu-
lar weekly luncheon of the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday
noon, at which time she viii! take up
the matter of making arrangements
for the institute, and give the Pull
man business men some idea of the
work that will be expected of them
in connection with the institute

IMPRESS VALUE Of
AGRICULTURAL AGENTS
WalIa Walla and Douglas County
Agents Urge Chamber of Conn
merce to Exert Efforts To-
ward Securing Whitman
County Agriculturist

whitman county, while undoubt-
very best farming region in the
world, is not coming as near liv-
ing up to her possibilities in point of
maximum production and financial
returns to the farmer as many other
sections, much less favored by ma
ture," said A. NJ. Richardson of
Waterville, county agricultural agent
for Douglas county, before the meet
ing of the chamber of commerce
Tuesday noon. Several of the agents
of the state, who have been in con-
ference at the State College for the
past week, attended the session, and
they were unanimous in their CON
tention that Whitman county farmers
would profit to great extent
through the services of an agent.
The evident prejudice of Whit
man county farmers against the
agent proposition is due to mis-
understanding of the work of the ag-
rculturists,' said 0. Y. Patton,
Walla Walla county agent, and |
venture the assertion that after two
or three years of service in this
county by a competent agent, over
90 per cent of the farmers would be
boosting the ulan. Whitman county
presents great possibilities for an
agricultural agent and this organiza-
ton would be best serving the farm
ers by exerting every effort toward
securing the cooperation of the
county commissioners in making the
appointment possible
Mr.. Patton called attention to the
excellent work done by George A.
Nelson, county agent of Wahkiakum
county, one of the first counties 10
call for an agent and one of the
smallest counties in the state. Mr.
Nelson's work among the farmers
there has resulted in added profits
running into the thousands of dol
lars, and the farmers are behind him
to the man in his efforts to still
further increase the earning power
of the Wahkiakum farms.
The chamber has always favored
the appointment OF county agent,
and on several occasions has started
an agitation toward securing the
services of a competent man. The
discussions of the successful agricul-
tural agents has but strengthened
the belief that Whitman county Is
passing up a great opportunity for
better farm conditions and in all
probability further efforts will be
made to prevail upon the county
heads that a county agent would re
turn dollars for every cent invested.
