vLearhers’ Institute Tin first number of this year’s Institute was held on Labor Day and took the form of a get-together dinner at the Phoenix, at which the new teachers in the system were properly initiated. Dr. Hunt of the University of Pittsburgh, was our guest and spoke to us twice. In October, Dr. Rowland of the State Department addressed us on Silent Reading and Principal McNary of Academy High on Extra Curricular Activities. An evening session with Dr. McGowen was also held. In November. Dr. Thomas Briggs of Teachers College. Columbia University brought us the spirit of that great institution as applied to the school curricula of today, in two of the most entertaining addresses we have ever had. In February, we had a joint meeting with the Parent-Teachers’ Associations of the city at which Principal Crawford of Edinboro and Mrs. Sterritt of the Erie Council of the P. T. A. spoke. The last Institute number was held March 27, with Dr. Lowe of the State Department and another speaker whose name was not known at the time this article was written. There is some talk at present of having a series of extension courses next year in place of the regular institute sessions, but nothing definite has been decided yet. Such a system is in use at Johnstown. Pa.—M. E. K. ifaritltu liitnrlu'nns Every two weeks the Faculty has luncheon at the Bluebird, where they combine a good time and business. For, besides discussing the pranks and punishments of young troublemakers, they manage to appease their appetites —even Mr. Sheen’s. The broadest hint that the luncheons were not absolutely enjoyable comes from Miss Kenney who says she is not absolutely at home with radio on one side and fishing on the other. However, such informal meetings have a large part in making school life go smoothly. Page 11
