AH Teachers Attend Institute
The Teacher's Annua! Institute
for Polk County which was held
last week was pronounced by all
teachers present to be one of the
best if not the best ever held in
the county, and many teachers
from onher states who are recent
arrivals, stated that it was the
best Institute they had ever at
tended. This speaks well for
Oregon.
The loyalty of the Polk County
teachers was in evidence, as
every thacher excepting two in
the county were in attendance
the entire time and were always
in the building on time.
The department work of the
different instructors was above
the average and the lectures be
fore the general assembly by,
L. R. Alderman, of Eugene and
the next State Superintendent,
Superintendent J. H. Ackerman,
and H. A. Adrain of Santa Bar
bara, CaL, were the best ever
and all teachers returned to their
work with a greater interest in
their work in the children of the
county and much good will be
accomplished this year in the
schools of the county.
The primary work given by
Miss Florence Akin, of the Salem
schools, was just what the teach
ers needed and all were pleased
with Miss Akin ana her work for
them. Sup't Powers gave the
teachers some solid work in Lan
guage in all of the departments
and many teachers will return
to their schools better prepared
to teach this subject as Sup't
Powers always delivers the goods.
Assistant State Superintendent
E. F. Carleton gave four lessons
History, Literature and the
Resolved; That we believe in
the mission of the teacher as a
paramount interest to the welfare
of the State in that we begin the
education of its future citizens
in the Public Schools.
That we believe the State
ought to lurnish ample oppor
tunity for the teachers to prepare
themselve for this important
work.
That we hereby express our:
appreciation of the most excellent
instruction furnished us by Sup't j
J. H. Ackerman, Mr. II. A. I
Adrain, and the other instructors
of the institute.
That we express our thanks
hereby to the good citizens of
Dallas'for their kind hospitality.
That we commend the work of
our bup t biymour tor nis un
tiring efforts to improve the
schools of our county and we
recommend that all the schools
take part in the spelling contests
to be held during the year, also
that each teacher endeavor as far
as possible to carry out the di
rections of Sup't. Seymour with
regard to school sanitation.
That our thanks are extended
to the Board of Directors of the
Public Schools of Dallas for the
use of their school building for
this meeting.

State Superintendent J. H.
Ackerman's address before the
general assembly of "The Public
Schools, A Vision of the Future"
was one of the best addresses
ever given before an assembly of
teachers and gave much encour
agement to the teachers. All
teachers expressed their appre
ciation for the excellent work
Sup't Ackerman has given the
schools of Oregon the past twelve
years and also for the encourage
ment and assistance he has given
them.
When Superintendent H. C.
Seymour secured Mr. H. A.
Adrain, of Cal., for this Institute
he did some of his best work for
the teachers of the county, as
Mr. Adrain's work both in the
departments and in the general
assemblies was such that all
teachers and many citizens who
were present demanded of Sup't
Seymour that he secure Mr.
Adrain for next year if possible.
Mr. Adrain is truly all that has
been claimed for him and is doing
much for the education of the
children throughout the United
States.
The lecture given by Mr. Adrain
of "Luther Burbank and his
Wonderful Work", at the Vau
dette Theater, with the pictures
of Mr. Burkank's garden and
plants was a treat that does not
come to many more than once in
a lifetime.
Superintendent Seymour out
lined the work that he is trying
to have worked out by the teach
ers of the county this year and
many schools will be improved
and bettered along the lines of
sanitation, ventilation, spelling,
attendance, and general interest
in the school work.

gave the following report which
was adopted ;-To The Teacher's
Association of Polk County; We,

MAN IS A FAILURE

When he values success more
than character and self-respect.
When he does not try to make
his work a little better each day.
When he becomes so absorbed i
in his work that he cannot see j
that life is greater than work. !
When he lets a day go by with- j
out making someone happier and ;
more comfortable. I
When he tries to rule others by
bullying instead of by example.
When he values wealth above
health, self-respect and the good '
opinion of others.
When he is so burdened by his
business that he finds no time for
rest and recreation.
When he loves his own plans
and interests more than human
ity. When his friends like him for
what he has more than for what
he is.
When he dos not care what
happens to his neighbors or to
his friends so long as he is prosperous.
When he is so busy that he
has no time for smiles and cheer
ing words. Louisville Times.
