the intermediate Section on reading.
The general consensus fof the opinibn
was that too much time is given to
oral reading and not enough. to the
understanding and appreciation. To
the High School Section, Mr. Bryant
gave the i- findings of the financial
section of the committee. The course
of study came in for a reference too,
and all who heard Mr. Bryant agreed
that his review of the survey was
entirely worth while. Mr,
spoke highly of the institute as an
inspiration to the teachers.

MISS HAUK PLEASED
Miss Hauk, Supt. of Jones County,
is deservedly proud of the atteni
of her teachers at the Institute

One of the outstanding lecturers
for the Institute was Principal Leon-
ard Power of the Bryan High school
Dallas. His sectional meetings were
well attended and the, teachers had
only to look at their leader to gain
respect for their profession, which
was the subject that he discussed at
Power easily
inspires respect for his profession,
not only in personal appearance but
in intellectual vigor. 'Mr. Power’s re-
creation is travel and his vacations
are spent abroad with his family.

The Music at St. John’s M. E.
Church
The music at St. John’s Church
seems to be one of, the features of the
church. This applies to both the
preaching hour and the Sunday School.
Mrs. Dayle Middleton is the leader of
the choir at the church services and
her work is good. The choir is now
featuring lady tenor singers, we not-
ice, though there are men tenor sing-
ers as well. Men have sung good alto
many times and there are some very
high-keyed voices among the men of
the choir that cart take the alto in
upper register and 8b well with it.
Miss Clariss Hood is the organist and
she is playing some of the higher
class Classics. Her renditions are
fine..’.
In the Sunday School the orchestra
of Mrs. R. R. Robertson is'one of the
features, of course. There is about
one dozen in the orchestra, all of
whom play and play well. There are
four violins, two saxophones, one cor-
net, two trombone*, Eb bass horn, pi-
ano and perhaps more now and then.
This is a distinct feature of the.,Sun-
day School.
personality. She will influence for all
time to come the primary education
of many children who will be taught
by the young women in attendance
upon her lecturers. Miss Curlin’s
course was very practical, and when
note books arc reviewed for help in
the primary work of education, her
sweet voice and kindly eyes will also
be recalled, and the air of refine-
ment that radiates from her presence.
