4. 4- 4 i 4. THE MARKET. INSTITUTE. When the four-weeks county nor mal institute was provided for and organized, and for many years thereafter, it served a much needed pur-.

pose. At that time it was the only opportunity afforded the rural school teacher, and Indeed many of the grade teachers, for preparation for their school work beyond that which they received in the rural school which they attended, and where they expected to teach. The conditions have gradually changed. Teachers have, for the past few years felt the necessity for better preparation. More and more they feel and need of a higher edu cation.

Many are spending each summer in some normal school, working for credits toward a higher certificate or a degree. For these reasons the traditional four-weeks normal institute is rap idly being discontinued, and the "professional" or five-days institute has been adopted, and is proving most successful. Of the 105 counties in the state, 69 have the "professional" or five-days institute. Teachers who feel the need of academic preparation feel that they need more than can. be acquired in a four-weeks normal.

TLerefore they go to a school for a longer period, where they can secure grades toward a higher certificate. As a result it has been difficult to finance the customary four-weeks normal. It was announced last year that in all probability that would be the last four-weeks normal this county would have for some time. This year Neosho county will hold its first professional institute, at the high school building in Erie, beginning August 19 and closing August 23. As has always been the custom of this county, a splendid corps of in structors has been secured.

Su'pt. C. M. Hilleary, of Humboldt, will be conductor. Mr.

Hilleary is recog nized as one of the leading school men of the state. He has twice in structed in the normals of this county, and needs no word of com mendation to tnose wno know mm. He has had much experience in pro fessional institutes. His work will be largely in the field of education, methods, supervision, and school administration. Supt.

A. L. Cross, of Thayer, who has several times instructed in the Neosho county institutes, is also re garded as an excellent instructor, and is a great favorite with all who have had work with him. He will have lectures on history, civics, agri culture, and science. Miss Hattie E.

Wood, of Auburn, Kansas, and who was formerly county superintendent of Anderson coun ty for a number of years, will have charge of plays and games, lan guage work, community instruction, dramatics, and pagentry. Miss Wood is very fine and comes most highly recommended. Mrs. Marie Stevenson, of Paola, Kansas, will have charge of meth ods and construction of all primary work. Mrs.

Stevens is one of the best primary teachers in the state and has had much experience in the professional Institute. Penmanship has been a much neg lected subject in our rural schools. We have secured the services Prof. C. U.

Nichols, of Emporia, who comes recommended highly by Prof. Hausam, author of the system now in use in all Kansas schools. Mrs. Nina Gaston Rice of Osawat- omie, will again have charge of the music and continue the successful work she has been conducting in our normals previously. All teachers who expect to teach in this county during the coming school year should avail themselves of this opportunity of more thoro preparation for their work.

And especially all persons holding first-grade' and normal training certifi cates should attend as a part of the requireent for renewals. All others as a part of their professional duty. The next county teachers' examination for certificates will be held July 26 and 27. J- A. CANNAN, County Superintendent.
