THE WEST TEXAS TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
ADVANTAGES OF A LARGE INSTITUTE
Present day tendencies toward larger organizations
for effective work have now become an established
practice in most progressive communities. The Con-
solidated Teachers' Institute, held at the West Texas
State Teachers College during the past four years,
has fully demonstrated the value of concerted effort
as it applies to the profession of teaching. Teachers
need that enthusiasm which comes from the association
of large numbers engaged in a common cause. A
comparison of methods of procedure and results
achieved helps in the elimination of error. Besides,
intimate contact with recognized educational leaders
gives the inexperienced teacher an ideal towards
which to strive. There can be no profession of teach-
ing until those in authority adopt some rather definite
educational po icies, and until teachers employ organ-
ized intelligent effort towards the accomplishment of
predetermined plans.
Twenty-four counties, employing more than eight"
hundred teachers, will be represented in the consoli-
dated institute which convenes in Canyon, September
1 to 5, 1924. The program of this institute contem-
plates two distinct kinds of performances: inspirational
addresses and class room work. The primary purpose
of the addresses b-efore the general assembly is to learn
from leading authorities the most important tendencies
in education, to get a broader outlook upon school
problems, and to emphasize the dignity of the teaching
profession through the exemplified ability of prominent
men and women engaged in this work. In the class
room work the best methods of procedure in solving
concrete problems will be demonstrated.
