SUCCESSFUL TEACHERS INSTITUTES
ARE CONDUCTED IN 81 OF NORTH
DAK0TA'S FlFTY-THREE COUNTIES
Teachers Are Urged to "Create Complete CtizensChd
Welfare Day and Child Health Parade Were
Features of Various Institutes

1.-THE county teachers institute:
held throughout North Dakota thi:
fall we're the most successful ones ir
the states history" said Miss Minnie
J. Nelson upon her return to the
capitol yesterday from an extensive
tour Of the state in attending the
various meetings. The institutes have
been held in the various counties dur
ing the past seven weeks and Miss
! Nelson has attended the greater
number of them. Meetings we're held
in every one Of the So counties Of the
| state except Mercer and it is plan
| ned to hold IN institute there later in
the school year.
Beginning with the week of Sep
| TENDER 20 to October 2. 10 institutes
were in session. The following week
10 others were held, the third week
nine, the fourth week nine, the fifth
week seven, the sixth week six and
the last week one.
The institutes this year made a
special study of English and the So
cial studies. Under the former came
reading, literature and composition
and under the latter. history, civics
and geograph. Instead of "tsacning
history and geography" and kindred
subjects, the teachers were impressed
with the idea of "teaching the child"
In other words the former idea of
teaching facts is now being replaced
with the work Of developing the child,
not only mentally, but physically,
morally and spiritually, and the
theme of all the. institutes was to
"create complete citizens"
A Complete Citizen
Answering the question of "Who is
a complete citizen?' the teachers
were told that the complete citizen is
one whose body, mind and soul truly
function. Speakers prominent in ed
ucational work addressed the various
institutes on different phases Of the
work Of "creating complete citizens"
as we'll as the health and welfare Of
the pupils.
Nearly every institute conducted a
"chld welfare day" or "child health
day" during the progress of the meet
ings, and each institute had either a
health parade or presented the page
ant THE Seven Ages Of Man." The
pageant was presented in 35 counties
and some institutes had both the
pageant and the health parade. The
county nurses in districts where such
are employed were very helpful in
the work Of the institutes Miss Mel
son says. In connection with the
child welfare programs merchants in
:he cities where the Institutes we're
being held added materially to the
spirit Of the work by decorating their
windows in keeping with the event.
Clothing stores would display proper
for children, grocery stores
would show the correct foods for
and various. other lines Of |
business would display wares from
their stocks which pertained to child
health.
School Officials Attend
School officials and members of
Parent Teacher associations were al
ways invited to attend the institute
on child health days, and
became very much interested in the
work.

! Prominent educators who assisteG
Miss Nelson in conducting the var.
ious Institutes included DR.. Caroline
Hedge of Chicago, one of the famous
nutrition experts Of the UniteC
States; Prof. Happy of the American
Child Health association; and Mrs
Helen Bradford Paulsen of Chicago
known as the Mother Goose Lady
Barrett Stout led the community
singing from slides at many OF the
meetings.
Concerning teachers institutes the
Carson Press last week had the fol-
lowing to say editorially:
I'm the last session Of the legisla-
ture an effort was made to abolish
County Teachers Institutes. 1t was
thought at the time Of this movement
that it was simply an attack upon
Miss Minnie Nelson, the present
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction. However, even those who
were friendly to the administration
in some instances gave aid to the
move to abolish the institutes as now
carried on.
From our personal observation Of
the Institute held here last week. it
appeals to US that the taxpayer GER
tainly does get full pay for the en-
pense of the institute. The purpose
of the institute is first to coordinate
the work of all the schools in the
county and state. In other words the
rural school through the Institutes
gets an up-to-date view of the best
thought along educational lines. They
get the progressive method Of teach
ing and possibly the greatest thing
the teachers get is the impression
tnat his or her calling is one of the
highest, that upon the teachers pref
ty much rests the future of this ma
tons welfare. The teacher who
VIII ole-heartedly takes in the Insthu ute
cannot but 60 back to her school bet
ter fitted both mentally and morally
to carry on the wonderful work Of
teaching Young America and build
ing the nations foundation Of the
future.
ut is true that there is some friv-
olity connected with the institute and
some of the teachers simply take the
time allowed off their duties, to have
q good time. Certainly these are
in the minority and most assuredly
the Institute itself cannot be blamed
for these few. The local boards hire
the teachers and the institutes simply
try to make the best they can of the
material at hand.
"As we said last week our Grant
county teachers have wonderful
goal to attain and we say now that
as a whole Grant county has Won
derful group of earnest hard working
teachers who will do all in their pow
err to help their pupils to knowledge
and they are well deserving of the
hearty cooperation Of every school
patron.
1--WE will look forward to the next
Institute with pleasure and we as
sure the teachers who were here
that they will be welcome back. This
applies as we'll to those who had
charge Of the institute. We believe
that Teachers Institutes are a we'll
paying investment"
