Institute's Second Day Greek Statuary Attracts Attention
A packed Young Men’s Christian Association hall hosted the second day of the teachers institute with Greek statuary tableaux and papers by local scholars. Rev G L Aldrich opened with prayer, and papers by Livy Ric and H C Shafer covered Practical Composition Banking methods. Miss McMullan spoke on phonetic reading while J B Hawker presented Geography teaching reforms and urged hands on study and library resources. Dr J T Rothrock urged forest preservation as Greek tableaux entertained, and a large afternoon session featured a series of geography and civic education talks.
