Instructor ]. w. Ireland, Superintend-
ent Frankfort City Schools. who made
most interesting Introductory adj
dress on the subject, Pep" His in
terpretations of the subject were very
fitting. His first interpretations, pa
| triotism, efficiency and perseverance,
were emphasized as essentials for Sc
curing increases in salary, saying also
that, pull, evasion and politics were
no longer needed to get jobs.
Other interpretations were push,
expectancy and proficiency; purity
energy and pluck; preparation, educa-
ton and pay. personality, enthusiasm
and performance.
All these were indicated as pre-re-
quisites Of the efficient teacher.
Instructor Ireland was followed by
our City Superintendent Caplinger'
who effectively handled the subject,
The First Day of School. Supt. Cap
linger emphasized having everything
at school in readiness on opening day
Good diplomacy, he said, Is evidenced
by having a we'll arranged program
for the first day. Preparedness was
the keynote of his address.

opened with vocal solo by Instruc-
tor ]. W. ireland, who is President of
the Music Department of Kentucky
Educational Association.
Mrs. Mary e. Warrington, Coving-
ton, KY, addressed the Institute in
the last message in behalr or the IL
literacy Commission before the census
is taken in April 1920, at which time
it was hoped that illiteracy might be
wiped out of Kentucky. The mission
airy spirit held predominance through
out the ardent appeal. The teacher
should not consider her wages but
only the services she might render in
the Moonlight School.
Pledge cards were passed TO the
teachers who by their signatures
would indicate their intention of
teaching Moonlight School.
The Illiteracy representative was
followed by Instructor Ireland on the
subject, Management and Discipline,
which subject the speaker said how to
do with the management and discip-
line of the teacher herself as we'll as
that of the pupil.
The two great items in the PERSONAL
ity of the teacher are her dress and
address, and pleasing personality is
the greatest factor in management
and discipline.
