GOVERNOR MORROW
At RAISING OF FLAG
The Second Day Of Convocation
At State Normal Proves
Very Auspicious


tory exercises relating to the raising
of the beautiful new garrison flag in
front of the University building, the
second day of the convocation OF
State School Teachers rounded into
another interesting, instructive snd
entertaining feature.
Friday the third and closing day
will also be provided with a program
out of the ordinary in point of inter
= est. Wednesday afternoon the Of
fetal program was carried out and
the large number in attendance ap-
preciated- it's value from many stand
points.
The program for Wednesday night
was well received, and one of the
features was a talk on the rural
schools of Michigan, by Dr.. Ernest
Burnham, Of Kalamazoo, who is sup
erintendent Of the work for that state
His talk was productive Of the dis
closure of number of rural school
features that could be applied in this
state, it is said, and some important
issues were disclosed in the manner in
which instructors were procured in
the state Of Michigan.
There was a musical treat in the
way of quartet which was not on the
program. 1t was comprised of ]. w.
Ireland, Of Frankfort, 0. 3. Falls, Of
Danville, DIR. S. S. Myers of Rich
mond and G. D. Findlay, Of Louisville.
The voices blended harmoniously, and
the several numbers rendered were
greatly appreciated.
Thursday morning the visitors Wis
tied the various classTooms which
were inspected and the work Of the
teachers noted. This is one of the
most important features of the meet
ing, since the superintendents can es-
innate the ability OF the instructors
by the work they are doing. A sur
prising fact is the large number OF
visiting city school superintendents.
1t is expected that there will be a call
for many of the local instructors
soon, since they may be chosen for
work in this state without further
certificates. The examinations are in
regular form at the Normal, and these
will admit of the teachers and gradu-
ates here being admitted to teach
throughout the state. There are many
of the students developing rapidly.
The inspection Of the visitors clict-
ed much favorable comment upon the
= systematic manner in which the big
institution was managed and from
one department to another the visitors
went, being treated 10 q Gurp,isc at
every turn. IN many instances, one
man stating ''well, if it's all this com
plete, no wonder the old state is
forging to the 'front.'.
1t is understood that Governor Nor
row disappointed number Of anxious
callers to his Office in Frankfort, but
he steadfastly refused to miss the
event here and left for Richmond al
an early hour.
