Teacher's Institute
A List of Those Who Are in Attendance.

The Teacher's Institute convened Monday morning in the High School building

number of the teachers and prospective teachers attended school in different

the first day, is not so large as it was last year.

History. His efforts indicate careful preparation. What he says and does
counts.
Supt. McCORMICK has Arithmetic, Didactics, School Management, and Music. His
work is equal to any ever presented, along the lines mentioned in any
institute.

her zeal will prove very helpful to the teachers.
Prof. Arthur McMURRAY of Ames has an hour each morning during which he gives
lectures and practical documents on "How to Teach Reading in the Public
School." His work is of a very practical nature and the teacher, following
his line of instruction will certainly bring an inspiration into the school
room that will have a marked effect on Reading in our schools. A feature of
Mr. MacMURRAY's [transcriber note: surname spelled differently in article]
work is his recital each afternoon on the leading authors.
Supt. Lillie PATTON is giving close attention to the exercises in general
and feels well pleased with the results tha have been thus far achieved.
