C, Yam hill County superintendent Duncan, end Benton County superintendent Cannon. Superintendent Goln had secured the attendance of these prom inent oducators which added greatly to the interest and success of the in stitute. Superintendent Churchill Is widely known as cuo of the greatest educators of the state and professors Duncan and Ressler are both live wires and prominent as educators. Lincoln Is the first county to hold an annual Institute this year and the first to organize a omny subdivision of the Oregon State Teachers' Associa tion, the iirst constitution of such an organization in the s ate being adapted from the rspot; of a committee con sisting of C. H. Eai.y of S.let'is, W. A. Cox of Toledo and D. Chcsley Bones of Rcse Lodgo. By many or the teachers of Lincoln County being members of the O. S. T. A. and tho county sub division they will be able to do much better work in solving tho e3u"ailonal problems of Lincoln county.

' The teachais are all good roads! enthusiasts and If they are going to teach again in Lincoln county they must have better roads o get around and of course you can't blamo them ! for this. However the people of Lin-1 coin county are going to build good roads and don't you forget it. Al-' ready the roaJs in' the county are much better than they used to be and with the suae aid we aio going to continue the good work until we get good roads.
