Teachers’ Institute Outlines Being Distributed.

The state superintendent of public instruction is distributing the outlines for study in the township institutes for next year by the teachers of the state. In his introduction to the outlines, Mr. Aley says: “Since the intitule is to be a model school, it should ahve a definite program, certain work to be done and a fixed time for beginning and ending the day’s work. Tardiness and slipshod work should not be tolerated. A certain report concerning the work of teachers should be sent to the trustee and county superintendent by the. secretary. The trustees and chairmen should emphasize the need and make a demand that the work be thorough, and no one should receive compensation who does not live up to these standards.” Under the law the teacher receives the same rate of pay for attending the institutes that is paid for teaching.
