All but six of our teachers are enrolled in this work and a very good attendance on the part of most of those enrolled. But few have missed more than one meeting and a great majority have been present at each meeting. The} teachers not enrolled are not very enthusiastic in their work any way and are only using the position as a means to keep them going until they find something more congenial as they think. What one teacher gets from this book all can get by a proper effort. I am sure that every teacher who teaches reading or expects to teach it should possess this book. those who are not getting something from it are not teaching reading; they are only making believe. -In copying the grades as mailed in I finda few chairmen are short on their reports.
