Teachers Institute
In Session.
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.
