BIG INSTITUTE
WELL UNDER WAY
Big List of Teachers Assigned To
Madison County Schools
Where They Will Teach

attendance the most complete of any
held in Madison county in years. One
of the direct causes for the attend
ance was the compulsory clause in
serted in the instructions to the cotln-
ty ,superintendents by State Superin-
tendent George Colvin.
Late Monday night there was
host arrived from various parts, some
coming in from afar, having been on
annual vacation, but eager to get to
the institute, although little late.
The organization of the institute
body was one of the first features of
interest during the opening day, and
this resulted in Miss Mary Dalton, of
Richmond, being selected as secreta-
ry, in which official capacity she has
served for a number of years in a
most efficient manner She was given
an assistant this year in the person
of Nh. Cosby Duncan. The record and
official routine work is being handled
in a mastery manner.
Prof. S. S. Myers is in charge of
the music and Prof W. r. Ward, with
enough humor and pathos in his lee
lures to entertain, formed an inter
esting program. Part of both fore
noon and afternoon was given to
teaching of rote songs.
Regarding the songs, Prof Ward
said: "We cannot go back of the era
die of these children, but we can
stand between these and the next
cradles"
There are seven kinds of Institutes,
as follows: Institutional, resperational,
perspirational, infational, declaration
al, observational and ideational. The
first and last types are preferred"
Institutes are valuable" MI. Ward
explained, "to teachers in social
way, and it is a pooling of opinions
and sentiments; get acquainted with
and interested in each other. In a
professional way, it has an enlarging
vision of conservation, belief in our
work and in ourselves, giving, taking
and compromising,
''In an academic way, not fractions,
but school problems; not cube root,
but acute economies; not foreign bills
of exchange, but how pay our bills;
not deserts, but gardens and orchards
"To the children, it is reflex and
indirect; you teachers are the
prisms; what rays will you reflect?
To the county, through the reac-
ton of the schools upon the various
communities, it always means just
what the teachers want it to mean
"There are several types of mind:
The fuzzy type, the sieve type, the
funnel type, the winnow type, the
sponge type and the clam and terra
pin type. Each of these types is pc
culiar to itself and all these types
are found in most audiences. They
are found in every school.
"Too many people are so busy max
ing a living that they forget to make
a life. Noble inspirations and fine
sentiments will live long after our
is all melted"
The discussions of the new high
school law and the probability of
meeting its requirements consumed
the latter part of the afternoon. The
instructor was loud in his praise of
the fine spirit manifested by the coun-
ty superintendent the Normal School
people, and especially by the teachers.
