FIRST JOINT INSTITUTE HELD

The first joint institute of the year of the townships of Keener, Wheatfield and Kankakee and Wheatfield town was held at Wheatfield September 21!. The purpose of the township institute is not generally understood. It is the most convenient center to discuss school organization, use of the course of study, class room 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. Patrons and other friends of education are invited to attend any and all institutes. The next meeting is to be a general institute with a special program at Wheatfield October 13.
