ing in For Attention Teach
Pledged to Help Conserve
The Cass County Teachers' Insti
tute convened Monday morning at
S:30 for a four days' session in our
city, with an unusually large atteu
dance present at the first period.
Dean Ilahn. head of the Education
department of the Wayne State Nor
mal, is the instructor in History and
Civics. The Dean's talks are proving
inspiring and full of interest to the
teachers. He emphasizes strongly
the need of detinite instruction in
our schools.
Miss Rose Clark, v ho is at the
head of the Ueography department
in the Cent Slate Normal, is inspir
ing: the teachers in the study of prac
tical Geography and also giving de
lightful interpretations in advanced
iteaumg ami iicuire muhv. amiss
Clark has traveled extensively, both
in r America and on the continent
: thus being able to give the teachers
the benefit of her wide range of prae
tical knowledge gained first-hand and
a vast' auiount of experience.
Miss Sheekan, a primary teacher
in the Lincoln city schools, brines to
the institute many suggestions in
primary work gleaned through her
extensive experience with this class
of problems that confront the peda
gogue of today. She is listened to
attentively and her branch of the
work is proving most interesting.
Monday night the Commercial club
delightfully entertained the visiting
teachers, as told at length in yes
terday's Journal.
Tuesday morning Mr. Watson, of
the Extension department of the
State Agricultural school came to
deliver an address to the teachers,
about the Hoys' and Girls' clubs, and
tell how they may assist the govern
ment in increasing the food supply
which is just now a subject worthy
of much consideration.
Mrs. Cockle has called for volun
teers who will take up the study of
Food Conservation and has a period
daily set aside to devote to the pe
rusal of a course of ten lessons sent
out by the lT. S. Food Administra
tion. Each member of the class is
pledged to do what she can in her
owtf home and by forming clubs in
the school district to further the
course of food conservation. Like
the timely subject that it is, this de
partment of the work is meeting with
a ready response from the teachers.
and some excellent results may be
expected.
Tuesday evening the teachers were
guests at a performance at the Gem
theatre, when Lillian Walker starred
in "Kittie McKay." They turned out
ir. large numbers and showed their
appreciation of the effort being made
to entertain them by the people of
IMa? fsmoi.it h.
A short patriotic program was
rendered during the convocation per
iod this morning.
Miss Grace Staton, one of the ef
ficient teachers of the Weeping Wat
er schools, gave a reading entitled,
"Our Flag," which showed her re
markablc talent along this line. Clara
lae Morgan was the next on the pro
gram and in her unusual talented
manner read her original poem en
tikd "Your Lad and My Lad."
A double quartet composed of Mes-
d nines E. H. Wescott, A. L. Cockle,
Mac S. Morgan, Miss Elizabeth Rhee-
lian and the Messrs. L. O. Miner,
Frank Cloidt, Roy Norr and Rev.
aicCluskey, with Hiss Blanche Sayle3
at the piano, entranced the audience
while they sang with much feeling
the beautiful song entitled "Xew Co
lumbia." Pretty decorations, con
sisting of flags and red, white and
blue astors, were kindly furnished
by the Misses Emma Wohlforth and
Florine Tritsch of the Camp Fire
cJn ls club.

merriment.
So far the stay of the teachers in
