CUSSED VARIOUS TOPICS
OF INTEREST.
On Saturday forty-five of the six:
ty teachers in the boroughs of Mt.
Joy and Elizabethtown and Mount
Joy and West Donegal townships,
met in two very interesting sessions
of local institute here.
Devotional Exercises were con-
ducted by Rev. C. B. Segelken of
town The questions discussed at
the morning sessions were. What Is
Your Greatest Problem This Term?
and What Can Be Done To Improve
the Local Institute or What Can
Take Its Place? The discussions of
these topics by members of the In.
stitute were interesting and worth
while. One problem stated was
that of home study by the pupils.
All teachers were concerned about
the quality of work accomplished
and parents can do much to improve
this by insisting on a certain
amount of home study on the part
of their children in the upper
grades and High school. _
Inthe business session which clos-
ed the morning program the follow-
ing officers were elected for the
coming year: President, I. L. Eber-
sole; Vice Pres., Rufus Eby; Sec.
Florence Cawley; Treas., Edna Mar-
tin.
In the afternoon session Mr. E
E. Sloat, of Elizabethtown, opened
the discussion on the question, To
