"YUL. XCHIL EARLY DATE FOR TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE IN CENTRE CO. August 30 to September 3, at Belle- fonte.—Teachers Should Have Benefit Before School Work Be- gins, Says Supt Etters. The annual Teachers’ Institute for Centre County will be held this year from August joth to September jrd. The sessions will be held in the Court House in Belife nte. Holding a Teachers’ Institute in ad- vance of the opening for the school term is an innovation of Centre County. It is something that has never been tried heretofore. November and December are the usual Institute months. County Superintendent of Schools David O. Etters, in discussing the matter recent- ly said that bad been governed largely by two reasons is adopting such an early date, *If the Institute is a good things the teachers should have the benefit of it be- win- Etters. he fore they begin their work for the ter,” remarked Supertindent “Secondly, by having the Institute at the time we have fixed for this {year we avoid breaking in on the school term Usually Institu and Decem Where selected the teachers and school ¢ rted in their November is hildren a ber. sta work 8 are just nicely when recess must be taken for both Ie If} the ksgiving, and Christmas Institute and Than 1eld in December the lostitute 4 YA vacation confiicl more or less, After consid angl " wa . . plan of having an early Institute ti I the matter es we have concluded year.

It may be accepted as a certainty that the subject advanced by Dr. Finegan will figure conspicuously in educational circles dar. ing the coming year, both in thls State and elsewhere, The decision to have the Centre Coun ty Institute at such an early date thig year ismot the only innovation that will be of special interest to teachers in gen. eral, Another is the announcement by Superintendent Etters that thes usual evening entertainments and lectures will not be on this year's program. The teachers will have all the evenings dur. ing Institute week to themselves and may devote the time to whatever ap- peals to their fasey. This plan will en. able many teachers residing nearby Bellefonte to go back and forth each day, Others will be afforded the opportunity to participate in social functions, take in Le “movies”, éte. The bigh cost of " fbigh class entertainments and lecturers had considerable to do with the decision to eliminate the customary evening pro- grams for the Institute. Superintend.

There appeared to be so much ready money and such a willingness to turn it over to this well knewn institution that the solicitors began jesting with pros. pective customers, and finally the rumor became current that the two men were impostors. About this time, 2:30 p. m., they left town, Of course, it was easier to believe that the townpeople were faked than to persuade that the money doled out cheerfully for a future rainy day was safe ; Later an effort was made to raise the bank by telephone, but since Thursday afternoon is a ha'f holiday in Lewistown banks, d benced in comi the bank officials, the statement received was not ace spted because it was to the effect that the bank was behind the In the evening the boys who turned over their funds during the day were the butt of many jokes, much ifficulty ng and when it was done Was exper touch with in solicitors, Next morning the bapk was called up and the transaction clear i The bank 1 will ed and stand for all funds turned their ug. stood for over to solicitors.

APP ——— Centre Hall Wins in Twilight Game. A seven-inning twilight game of base- ball was played on Grange Friday evening between Centre and Potters Mills-Tusseyville Centre Hall for lime winning out, of tog, Centre Hall started off in the inning to hit Yearick and scored a run ; another was earned in the second, and counts were made in the third through a combination of fieldiog errors and some timely hitting. The misplays were most damagiog to the visitors’ chaaces of winaing, since they occurred at a time when the bases were all occupied and invariably meant a run or two which on clean play would not have count All the misplays made by the visiting team were contained in the third frame and were directly responsi- bie for their defeat. After that period Centre Hall failed to score. The P.M.-T. team could pot connect with Harry Gross’ pitchiag uatil th e fourth inning when Earl Frazier “rode” one for three bases and scored on a sin. gle by his older brother, Lee. The ter himself scored a moment later by the third hit for the inning. Two more runs were added in the sixth and one in the seventh Harry Gross outpitched both Yearick and Floyd Jordan, the latter relieving Yearick io the middie of the game Harry bad the visitors fanoiog and av- eraged two strikeouts each in the seven innings of play.
