County Teachers Institute

Now in Session At the Court House and High School Sept. 4-8 Inclusive
 

The school teachers are with us in force this week. We have two institutes in session—city, under direction of Superintendent R. E. Scott, at the high school building, and the county institute at the court house.
 

The News-Farmer regrets that absence in Matagorda on Monday and part of Tuesday prevented a fuller report this week. But suffice it that there were good programs and the teachers were interested and profited by the exercises of the week. We are pleased to see familiar faces and miss several friends among them. Prof. A. L. Dyer who has taught two years at Prairie Center and had been elected Superintendent at Markham, was compelled to resign to go back to Tennessee to administer on his father’s estate, his father having recently died. Prof. Dyer is succeeded at Markham by Prof. McNeal from Denton. C. L. Bateman of Matagorda, who rather mysteriously disappeared at the last moment, is succeeded by Prof. Brown of Port O’Connor. J. W. Kirkpatrick of Collegeport succeeds Mr. Laslie who goes to Austwell. Chas. Yeamans of Citrus Grove succeeds C. O. Shafer who was elected Superintendent at Brazoria last spring.

Mrs. C. E. Damon of San Antonio, who taught a year or so at Blessing a few years ago, has been engaged by the Ashby Trustees; and the Sexton trustees secure Mrs. Mary Abercrombie from East Texas.

Midfield and Blessing have made an even exchange of School Superintendents. It was an even swap—both parties at first wanted boot, and the compromise was on even. Prof. Midgett has been superintendent of the schools at Blessing for several years, long enough to leave his impress on the seat of learning of half of the boys; and Prof. Crowder has done well at Midfield. Both are capable school men and will earn their salaries if the patrons will just stand by them.

The News-Farmer has heretofore given the new city school faculty and movements of the former teachers, and can only regret its inability to give a fill report of the institute proceedings.

County Institute In Progress
The Teachers of Public Schools Preparing for New Year’s Work.
 

The Matagorda County teachers’ institute was called to order yesterday at 10 a. m. by County Superintendent W. C. Gray. The meetings are being held at the courthouse. Rev. L. E. Selfridge, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Bay City, conducted the opening devotional exercises, reading as his text James 1:3-18, and giving some excellent points on the responsibility of the teacher. The Scripture selection was a very happy one which all teachers could with profit go over and over during the coming year.
 

Following the offertory, prayer and organization was perfected making Prof. Jno. W. Kirkpatrick of Collegeport chairman and Principal Will C. Jaynes of Van Vleck, secretary. Mr. Jaynes was secretary during the session of last year.

There are a few new faces in the institute over last year, but the majority of the old teachers remain in the county. There have been several changes within the different districts, but none which have been except for the betterment and advancement of the teacher.

A registration of teachers present was taken and fifty teachers were found to be present. Sickness has prevented one or two from enrolling on the first day. Those present at roll call on the first day were as follows, together with the place they are to teach for the scholastic term, 1916-17.
