This is institute week in Crook County and practically every teach er in the county, and a number from adjacent territory are in attendance ere. Time was when this institute ratter was one left to the option uf the teacher, and as result the institutes were more or less a fail are. Later teachers were given credit for time spent in attendance at them and they were not required to make sp time spent in that manner at the elose of the school year. Today, however, authorities re cogniy that an institute is absolute- essential. It is the teachers' short tourse, the convention where ideas are interchanged, the lecture course where exptrt instruction is given nd ideas interchanged for the mu tual benefit of those attending. Realizing that such things are es sential for the development of the instructors, the law requires that all teachers attend, and any failure to Jo so is subject to reproach to the point of having their certificate taken from them The result is such thatjthe maximum benefit is obtain ed, and matters educational move forward harmoniously. Thatjthe county officials in charge ifjhe matter have"setJtheJtimefor iie institutoffor.the same week'as she county fair where fthejjpupils mayfand do exhibit theirjjworkand see many things that arejjhighly edu cational in themselves is indeed for tunate and proper. The pressure and speed of the present day civilization requires the Vst that can be had in instructors, and the institute idea is a good one. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Not Coal Lands.
