SOME SPLENDID PAPERS.

The 1907 Teachers
Institute Takes
First Rank.
The Falls County Teachers Institute for 1907 takes first rank in the institute
held up to this time.
The papers read and the discussions thereon have been thorough treatises of the
subjects covered and great good has resulted to the teachers and will result to
the educational interests of the county.
The program, as printed in this paper, has been followed with hardly a
variation. The papers show study and research, pains-taking (sic) and
conscientious effort on the part of the teachers to whom the subjects were
assigned.
The members of the institute have received great enthusiasm from the timely,
earnest and practical talks of Dr. W. S. Sutton, the veteran and justly famed
educator. His ideas on education, expressed in his convincing manner, are
an inspiration to younger teachers and they are not slow to express their
appreciation.
The teachers are enjoying the week's vacation and recreation to the fullest
extent. The social feature of these institutes if of no small
consideration and is being made the most of by teachers at this meeting--and
they are all here.
