 MT. Parsons has also received notice that the district institutes for high school teachers and agriculture teach CTS, which were to have been held at the Normal at the same time, have been called off. A. B. Hill, state high school inspector, wrote that so many of the high schools in the state had already opened or would be in session | by this time that it was thought best to abandon the plan for holding the special district institutes. There were to have been four of the high school institutes in the state, at Texarkana Fort Smith, Jonesboro and Conway.
