The annual Teachers Institute |of Montgomery county is in ses j sion here this week at the court house. Prof. Walter B. Hend ricks of Douglas, a teacher of | wide experience and recognized ability, has in charge the mana gement of the convention. Mr. Hendricks is one among It he most able teachers in the state, having devoted practically all his life to the profession. He is a school man, thoroughly ac quainted with schools and school problems, having taught in rural ! schools, high schools and colleges. Mr. Hutcheson should be ap plauded for securing the services of such an able instructor. A well arranged program is l>e ing rendered 1 each day by the teachers, all of whom seem to l>e thoroughly interested in the ex ercises. The program is not carried out on the old style lec ture plan, usually observed in institute work, but is conducted like* a real school, the expert be ing the teacher and the teachers the pupils. We feel sure that the teachers will have been much better pre pared for the coming year’s work by having attended the Institute. There are about forty teachers in attendance. Many could not attend on account of having al ready begun their school work. Since the entire institute work is conducted for the betterment of our schools, and in the inter est of both patrons and pupils, the public is cordially invited by the County School Commissioner and the ent ire body to attend each session during the week.
