NOT BAD FOR THE DULL SEASON.
The Morrow County Teachers'
Institute convened on Wednesday
of last week, and was in sebsion
three dayH, The enrollment was
tiftyone. Every teacher in the
county, except three, was in atten
dance. The work done by the in
structors was prflctical and helpful,
The teachers, without exception,
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the work given. Prof.
L. R. Traver, of the State Normal
School at Monmouth, was well
known to the teachers, having been
in the institutes of former years,
and the teachers expected much
from him. Thev were not disap
pointed. Prof. L. R. Alderman
of'thj State University, came to the
institute a new man. His work
was a delight and inspiration to all.
State Superintendent Ackermau
was present one day and fully sus
tained his reputation for practical
work Mr. C. H. Jones was as
popular as in former years. He
led the singing and enlivened the
sessions with amusing anecdotes.
The papers read by Dr. N. E.
Winnird were very instructive and
helpful and were fully appreciated
by the teachers. .Mrs. Jennie L.
Thorp gave ttiree class drills in
music, illustrating her methods of
teaching.
The evening sessions were well
attended both by the teachers and
the general public. The entertain
ment features of the evening pro
grams seemed to be greatly enjoyed
by the popple. The lecture by Prof.
Traver on "The Teacher" was one
which every interested in schools
should have heard. If he had had
more time, the lecture would have
been still better. Prof. Alderman's
lecture on "Chum?, Chumps,
Gumps, Goops, and Spooks," was
one which parents and children
tuny well take to heart. That lec
ture will bear fruit in this commun
ity in the years to come. Superin
tendent Ackerman's lecture was
one which certainly interested every
taxpayer and every friend of edu
cation. The matters which he dis
cussed will be considered by the
legislative assembly at the" coming
session.
School Board Convention
The second annual school board
convention of Morrow county met
at the Court House last Saturday.
Fifteen districts were represented.
The subject, "Heating, Lighting,
and Ventilation," was first discuss
ed. Dr. Winnard then read a pa
per on "School Sanitation," which
wbs full of timely suggestions. The
discussion which followed was par
ticipated in by several of the dele
gates and many or the citizens
present. The paper on "Co opera
tion of School Boards with Henltb
Officers," read by Dr. R B. Kistner,
was one which every teacher, par
ent and school officer in the county
should have heard. It was voted
to have this paper published. The
q"estion of apportioning the school
funds in accordance with Superin
tendent Ackerman's plan as out
lined in his lecture was taken up.
A lively discussion followed. A
resolution was adopted approving
the plan, though the vote in favor
was much short of being unani
mous. The sense of the conven
tion seemed to be that these meet
ings should be held oftener than
once a year, and it is 'likely that
Superintendent Notson will call an
other convention in the near future.
Altogether, the convention was a
pronounced success.
