Dear Six:—If you will examine the resolutions of the teachers insti- tute you will find that they favor supervision—a couaty superintend- ent to devote his whole time to organizing and classifying, instead of the county commissioner. At pres- ent I do not think there is a teach- er in Bates county who would favor going back to the old method of granting certificates—as you say in your item it was too often the $1.50 that got the certificate. Supervision, however, would not affect the insti- tute, except that local or township institutes would be formed in addi- tion to the general or county insti- tute. Ithink from your item this week you must have misunderstood tke resolution—for the teachers want to go one step in advance of our present system. Tor a full explana- tion of superyision, I refer you to sec 8037 of the school law. Respectfully, J. P. Tucrman. Church Convention.
