range for an evening session. The subject of Heading was next taken. That the success in teaching reading depended largely upon the interest and intelligence of teacher was the stand taken and proved by Miss EthelHard. Miss Margaret Moore says that reading is the key to all knowledge therefore the success of other studies depends upon the ability to read well. The Instructor illustrated very nicely his method of teaching reading by having a class consisting of members of the Institute. He strongly impressed the idea that real reading was extracting the thought from a selection. At the expiration of a short recess, the Institute was delightfully entertained by instrumental solos given by Misses Gustava and Gwendolyn Haynes. The duty of the teacher concerning the property of tho district was discussed by the members and Instructor. It was decided to bo the teacher's duty to sec that tho property was cared for, especially while ho is in control. Adjournment was announced until 8:30 Wednesday morning. ENROLLMENT.

up. The one having tho topic, "Phonccs," being absent, it was discussed by the Institute. Miss Frances Gray gave several ways by which a teacher could create a "spelling conscience" in the pupils. Various ways by which pupils could be helped, with difficult words was discussed by the Institute, after which a few minutes recess was taken. After recess a few minutes were given to Miss Carolyn Hariys and Harve Babb, who was representing school magazines. A brief, but splendid, paper was read by Miss Carolyn Harris in which sho asserted that knowledge in itself contains the stimulus to great mental exertion. Miss Lena Woods thinks that tho teacher should make the lesson so interesting that the child will give his attention involuntarily, but if he should fail, the attention must be had by demanding it Prof. King says that a boy is the epitome oi the human race and that a boy at ten is in his most adventuresome age therefore all exciting things appeals to him most, and that is why the romantic life of King Alfred and the exciting talc of William Tell will interest him more than the story of Gladstone or Bismark. Tho Institute was adjourned until 1 :30 p. m. TUESDAY Afternoon. The Institute was opened with a song and the usual roll call. President Pogue appointed a committee consisting of C E Thomas, E E Phillips, A A Fritth, Mrs. Walker and MissJEthcl Hard to ar
