THE TEACHERS INSPIR-
ATIONAL INSTITUTE

The teachers institute will be
held at the Audubon High School
building Thursday and Friday, April
18th and 18th. All schools in the
county will be closed these two
days and all teachers are expected to
be present. Teachers will be ex-
pected to attend all sessions. School
conditions are such that we need
you and you need us. There are
about four teachers that have been
excused to attend their home insti-
tute last fall. This was done to
save the teachers expense. but fear
that was not wise. You really
need to attend the institute in the
county in which you teach. You
will not be excused from this insti-
tute if you have attended another
place this year unless you were in
this county at the time teaching.
Our institute was arranged for the
first week in December. but owing
to the coal strike, 1t was thought
not best to close the schols, especial
ly the town schools.
On Friday there will be a speaker
from the state department to talk on
Standardization OF Schools" School
officers We want you to come that
day II you can do so. We also
have a program that will be of inter-
est to the patrons of the town and
country. Come. You are well
come. 1t is your institute as well
as the teachers Again we ask you
to drop in and let us know you are
interested.
