E BEE HIVE STO DALLAS, - - OREGON. RE TEACHERS ARE TAUGHT Large Attendance of Instructors at Polk County Annual institute. al The Polk County Teachers' Ann Institute opened Wednesday morning with an attendance exceeding that of any institute neretorore nela in this county. One hundred and thirty teachers registered at the opening session, ana many more arrived aur ing the day. Little time was devoted to the opening exercises, and the teachers and instructors were soon earnestly engaged in the active work oi tne institute. The instructors are J. H. Ackerman State Superintendent of Public In struction : W. G. Hartranft. School Superintendent of Kiiior County Wasu. : 13. U. Bessler. President, and C. A. Biie, Principal of the Training Department, of the Oregon State Normal School. The corps of instruc tors is especially strong this year, and County Superintendent C. L. Starr is to be congratulated upon the success of his efforts in securing such efficient men to take cnarge oi tne work of the institute. J. xi. Ackerman is justly rated as one of the strong men in educational work on the Pacific Coast, and his good work in behalf of the Oregon public schools is recognized and appreciated by parents and teachers in all parts of the state. superintendent w. u. iiartranit. or Seattle, is an ideal teacher active, earnest and progressive and has made an enviable reputation through out tne JSortnwest as a successful institute instructor. That his work is appreciated by the people of his home county is shown by the fact that he nas been twice elected to his present onice in tne race or strong factional opposition within his party ranks. The excellent public schools of King county, Washington, are an eloquent tribute to nis ability as a modern educator. President Bessler and his able assis tant, Prof. C. A. Bice, of the Oregon State Normal School, are familiar with every detail of institute work, the training or teachers heing the chosen profession of each. Both are thor oughly practical in their methods.and their suggestions and advice are of great value to every teacher. Tracy Staats occupies his usual position at the secretary's desk, and performs his duties in a manner highly satisfactory to all. The regis tration of teachers and recording of the proceedings keep nim busily em ployed at every session. Superintendent Hartranft's subjects were "Primary Beading," "The Reci tation," and "Opportunities of the Rural Teacher." In his talk on "The Recitation," the principal thought was a quotation from Dr. Arnold, the great teacher at Rugby, who said : "I always prepare my lessons in ad vance, because I want my pupils to drink from a running stream instead of a stagnant pool." The quotation strongly impressed upon the minds of the teachers the importance of pre paring themselves for their daily work. He had much to say on the art of questioning, and sought to emphasize the fact that when a class tails to give the proper attention, the teacher and not the pupils are usually to blame. In his talk on "Oppor tunities of the Bural Teacher, he urged all teachers who hesitate to ad mit that they are teaching in the country schools to remember that they are teaching 97 per cent of the success ful business men of the coming generation. President Ressler had "Geography" for his subject, and the manner in which it was presented was highly instructive to all. His talk was full of practical ideas, and the teachers will go back to their schools better prepared to teach this important branch or study than ever before. Professor Rice spoke on "Arithmetic" and "Methods." A large crowd filled the courtroom Wednesday evening to hear Superin tendent Hartranft's lecture on "Steps in Human Progress." The talk was entertaining, and was highly appre ciated. A good musical program was rendered. Miss Elizabeth M. Pollock favored the audience with a reading that won for her many compliments ana a hearty encore. Owingtotheimportantelection news And the heavy demands of advertisers upon our space, we shall not attempt to give a complete account of the pro ceedings of the institute this week, but will give it the attention it do serves in another issue. The institute proper will close this afternoon with an address by Superintendent Acker man. The school officers institute will be held tomorrow. An interesting pro gram has been prepared, and a large attendance is expected. Thomas W. Brunk, G. W. Myer and S. L. Stewart are among the directors who will speak, and Superintendents Acker man and atarr will take part In the discussions. RITSTTVJF.SS T OC AT S For a guod job of wagon repairing, go to N.
