The Committee who had the sr
rangements for the District Institute
IN charge decided to adopt the plan
of the more progressive states IN
their institute work.
Three Of the leaders in educational
work Of the State have been secured
to conduct the three sections for the
entire week
/. High School Section-Dr n T..
Musselman. Editor Of the Texas
School Journal
2. intermediate Section-Dr. 2
r. Davis. Of tire Educational Depart
ment Of the University Of Texas.
3. Primary Section--Miss Lora b
Peck. Primary Supervisor Of the
Houston Public Schools.
We have arranged for two general
sessions Of forty-five minutes each.
and four sectional meetings Of one
hour each for each day Of the week.
This will give very busy day TO ev-
erybody
The expenses Of the Conductors Of
the different sections Will be quite
heavy and the con mittee thought
that the teachers would prefer to
pay small fee and get the very best
talent ard have a real live school of
methods than to have the oli-time
"rehearsed". SC We have figured that
i win cost each Of us one dollar and
fifty cents. which every teacher will
be expected to pay to the Secretary
Treasurer on the first day Of the In
stitute.
The committee on entertainment
win secure boarding places for all
teachers. but a card few days in
advance OF the opening would save
much worry after reaching Lubbock
Address either member Of the com.
mittee. tell your wants and boarding
accommodations will be secured.
Bring your note hook and come
prepared TO make this week the mosl
valuable Of your professional career
should you forget your note book,
the Secretary viii furnish you one
when you register a. Ne want every
teacher 10 be- prepared 10 DO the
very beat work possible,
