Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 217, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1917 — Keener Township Institute. [ARTICLE]

Keener Township Institute.

The first joint institute of townships, Keener, Wheatfield and Kankakee, and Wheatfield town, was held Saturday at Wheatfield. The purpose of the township institute seems not to be well understood. The institute is the most convenient center to discuss school organization, use of the course of study, classroom methods, proper relation of school and patrons, and other important questions connected with the school. Its real purpose is to serve the school and the children in the school by developing the teacher. The next meeting will be a general institute, with a special program, at Wheatfield October 13. Patrons and other friends of education are invited to attend any and all institutes of the year.
