PROFITABLE INSTITUTE HELU

Teachers Receive Valuable Hints for the Year’s Work. The annual Jasper county teachers’ institute, which was in • ses- ■ sion five days this week, closed yes- 1 terday afternoon. From the standpoint of interest and efficiency the institute was ‘one of the most profitable ever held, and the more than 100 teachers present will take up their work better equipped for a successful school term. Prof. Gingerich’s lecture on “Tfennyson and Factors Tending to Make Him a Pk>et,” was ably given and should prove of profit to all. C. R. Dean, superintendent of the Rensselaer schools, was highly complimented on his talk on "The Great World War.” which he touched upon from many viewpoints and especially as it related to the teachers of the coming generation. County ’Superintendent Sterrett struck a responsive chord in the institute when he announced that it was his intention and desire to favor the employment of home teachers wherever possible, not for the purpose of favoring the home schools but rather from a point of efficiency. Prof. Mark TL Liddell of Purdue addressed the institute Wednesday on “Fighting for World Peace,” which was of profit as well as interest. One other feature of the institute that is by no means the least is Miss Votaw’s work in music instruction. Aside from instructing In music she also made several interesting talks on music history

and the work of some of our most noted composers. k Following is a list of the teachers who were registered at the institute: Lural Anderson Cela Anderson Mabel Atwood Pearl Babcock Gertrude Besse • Martha Bonham Mabel Barnes Lucy Brusnahan F.
