Greeting to the Teachers Of Audubon County

On tlie litt.li day of next .Tune the teachers of Audubon County will again assemble in the capacity of a Normal Institute.

Object Of Normal Institutes HI

The importance of the Normal Institute as a part of our school system cannot easily be overestimated. To many teachers it is the only school in which they can pet any training in the best means of discipline and the most approved methods of instruction. To many others it is the only place in which they can go annually for new draughts of inspiration and enthusiasm to refresh themselves for another year's work.

The most important thing to be done in an institute is not to impart information that will assist in securing a certificate nor alone to drill in the latest and best methods of teaching, but to inspire the lifeless, strengthen the weak, encourage the discouraged, and elevate the teacher's a a

Institute Attendance

The intent of the new law seems to be that all teachers shall attend the Institute, and to enforce this provision the County Superintendent is required to furnish to the State Superintendent the names of all persons who attend together with a statement of the number of day's attendance.

We would say to a few teachers of the County that it will be impossible for you to receive renewal of certificate unless you are extremely cautious in the future of your attendance and professional reading. We have certainly been lenient, but we cannot bring ourselves to certify to a false statement in your behalf. Don't disregard the old saying "A word to the wise is sufficient." Even the scarcity of teachers will not "save the day." We hope to see you in attendance. It will help you, it will help us. You nfeed us, we need you.

Arrangement Of Institute Work Institute proper will begin Monday, June 19th and continue until Saturday afternoon. Monday and Tuesday of the second week will be devoted entirely to review preparatory to examination. This is a special arrangement for those taking the examination.

Enrollment

Enrollment will begin Saturday, June 17th at Co. Superintendent's office. Those entering later will enroll Monday, June 19th at 4 p. m. at High School building. Should you arrive at the building during the day of June 19th, find a program and enter any class you wish.

Institute Faculty

We believe we are prepared to give as good an institute as has ever been held in the County. Our faculty is composed of people of experience who are adapted to their line of work and who are capable of making the session profitable to us, and through us to the schools of the County, if we do our part.

Lectures

Provisions have been made for several lectures. Subjects will be an nounced later. Some of these lectures will be illustrated.

.- Rural Graduates tad School Director's Day. The graduating exercises for Eighth Grade pupils will be held Saturday June 24th. We shall be pleased to see all the graduates present with their parents and friends. Colors for the Class of 1911 are White and Pale-blue.

We also call this Director's Day. The program will be arranged with that in view. This is a busy time for farmers but we hope to have as many School officers with us on that day as can conveniently come.

Special Work

Prof. Conger's illustrated lectures on Physiography as a background of American history will undoubtedly prove an inspiration to teachers and give them a new point of view in the teaching of Geography.

Miss McClure will give some very valuable work for the teacher in water-color work. Children naturally delight in the use of pencil and paintbrush and do not hesitate to draw anything from a locomotive to a scene in fairy-land.

When Admitted Under Age To Examination. Candidates who are under age will receive no report of the examination, nor will their answer papers be returned. Should one under age be admitted to any examination, the fee collected from such a candidate should be refunded.

If writing in the June or July examination, the eighteenth birthday must be reached by the first of the next November.

Teacher's Professional Improvement All these means of professional improvement and all other means at the teacher's command should be utilized. A teacher's growth ought never to

cease, lie ought not to "die at the top." He planned to be a teacher in fact and spirit, not in name only. No work is more dignified, more important, more holy. It took a perfect man to deserve the name of "The Great Teacher." As one has said: "A real teacher is one who has Heart enough and Heart enough and Time enough and Liberty enough, to be a. MASTER in the KINGDOSI OF LIFB."

Loyalty Of Teachers

The great majority of Teachers of our County have ever been loyal to the Institute and to all other mean& of advancement, and we cannot close this Announcement without thanking you for such Co-operation.. Teachers, let "Forward" be our watchword and let there be no turning back nor cessation until Audubon County shall stand in the front ranks.

Yours For Advancement, ELLA M. STEARNS, Co. Supt.

Institute Notes

Bring a cheerful disposition. Bring a disposition to have a good! time and to get all the good out of the Session that you can.

Bring "Phelps and His Teacher." Bring a silver dollar for enrollment. It saves time.

Bring as many of the text-books you wish to use as possible. Bring yourself. „.

Special Instructor On The AldineSystem Of Primary Reading For some time we have been trying* to decide upon some way of improving: the reading of pupils in the Bural Schools. Reading is the Key to allt other studies, therefore we must consider it first in importance. After considerable thought along this line-'. we have decided to adopt this system-. believing it to be the most feasible for the use of rural teachers. It is es-V pecially necessary for some system like this in a country where there are so many children who must learn thelanguage at the same time Jthey arelearning to read. This system properly taught will be a great aid to those children.

If teachers are "really interested in their pupil's progress they will hail1 this as an opportunity for them as teachers to get out of an old rut and* give to theirpupilssome live material. We want to see our teachers receive a living wage but we want them to give back to the patrons of the schools, value received. We want good reading, good writing, good spelling.

Rural Pupil's Examination A Special will be held for those who. did not take Music and Civics but passed in previous examination in other branches on Friday June 30th. We should like to have pupils ready to write by 10 a. m. of that day. Pupjla must notify us if they wish to take this. If there are any pupils in the County who have not received report of their examinations, please notify me.

New Laws Governing Certificates We cannot give you these regulations as the State Department is still wrestling with them and has not been able to give us information.
