Controversy sparked at the County Teachers Institute as educators challenge textbook adequacy and teaching methods.

Prof. MacMurray and Mrs. Helen French lead sessions on oral reading and class attention, while rural teachers discuss English in elementary grades. The program includes demonstrations, a Dunbar recital, and discussions on speech, discipline, and practical classroom use.
