TEACHERS ARE HERE FOR INSTITUTE

Fair Pedagogues ses With a Sprinkling of Masculines are Here for Annual Intermingling. The teachers of Jasper county, about 125 in number, are here to attend the annual institute. Heretofore it lias been held the last week In August during the sweltering heat. The experiment of,holding it later looks like it should prove satisfactory. The feminine teachers far outnumber the masculine. The meetings are to be held at the Methodist church. Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University, is to be here Thursday and Friday. His instruction will be largely devoted to agricultural topics and therefore all the farmers who can should arrange to attend as many of the meetings as possible. His instruction will be largely by lectures and the main one of these will be given Thursday night. His subject will then be “Better Rural Life Through Better Schools.” • County Superintendent Lamson is anxious that a large crowd shall greet him on Thursday evening. All lectures are free. Try to arrange to attend the meeting Thursday night Superintendent Lamson has arranged to have reports of the institute published each, day and we believe this will prove interesting to all readers and to the teachers as well.
