good work as they took 11 votes
from the regular nominees. Haw
kins won by four votes over Ander
son. For Treasurer, Arnold won by
a good majority. For Recorder,
Hayden received 10 more votes than
Krogstad. Charles Bradeson won
the Marshalship by 14 votes over

SUCCESSFUL TEACH
ERS' INSTITUTE
Eddyville Pleasantly Entertains
Visiting School Ma'ams.
Pursuant to a call of County
School Superintendent R. P. Goin
a local teachers' institute was held
at the Eddyville schoolhouse last
Saturday. A goodly number of
Lincoln county's teachers, many
school patrons and visitors attended.
Among the teachers were, Superin
tendent and Mrs. R. P. Goin and
Miss Addie Harrison, Toledo; Miss
Ena Stont, Yaquina; Miss Hester
Hill, Ona; C. L. Knapp Elk City;
Miss Lillie Miller, Pioneer; Miss
Mamie Wakefield and C. D. Wil
son, Chitwood ; Miss Hampton and
Miss Ross, Eddyville.
The train carrying the visitors
from the west arrived at Eddyville
about 9 o'clock, and after a half
hour of social chat, making ac
quaintances, etc., Superintendent
Goin called the meeting to order.
Before getting down to the business
of the convention a song service
was held, with Miss Maggie Hamp
ton presiding at the organ. The
balance of the forenoon was taken
up with regular institute business
which was entertaining and instruc
tive both to the teachers and the
visitors. Language, Arithmetic,
Geography and monthly reports
were the principal topics discussed.
Here Superintendent Goin proved
himself the printer's friend by de
claring his desire that the county
have monthly report cards printed
for the use of all schools in the
county, instead of having the
teachers buy their own report cards
from some outside stock house.
Immediately after the meeting was
called to order people from the sur
rounding country began to arrive
and by 12 oclock the schoolhouse
was well filled. At 12 o'clock it
was announced that as soon as
tables could be spread dinner would
be ready. And, 'such a dinner!
But a few minutes were needed to
arrange a table the entire length of
the sell-Miiiiouse. and it was loaded
down with all the good things im
aginable. It appeared as though
every good housewife in the whole
neighborhood vied with her neighljor
in not only cooking the liest but
nlso in bringing the most. Eddy
ville surely holds the championship
of the world for cooks. Fifty peo
ple ate dinner and there was ample
for three times that number. Im
mediately after dinner all were as
sembled by Mr. wilson for a photo
graph. At 1 o'clock the assembly
was again called to order. Almost
the entire afternoon was devoted to
the discussion of School Laws and
the proposed amendments of same.
Superintendent Goin urged the
school patrons and teachers to ask
our representatives to 'support the
amendments that will lie presented
before the next session of the Legis
lature. Mr. Goin Is a sticker for
better salary for teachers and he
sees no reason why the rural teach
er should not recieve a salary in
proportion . to ' the salary paid to
city teachers. School libraries was
a topic thai brought forth much
earnest discussion.
The meeting adjourned at four
o'clock to give the visitors time to
catch the west bound train for their
homes.
All present voted this one of the
J t ., S.5?'. 5

educationally.
The people of Eddyville will al
ways be remembered by the visitors
as being past masters i n the art of
entertaining.
Much credit for the success of
the institute is due the host, Miss
Hampton, the local teacher, who
made every one feel at homo.
