Teachers' Institute

The County Teachers' Institute Which Open at Ypsilanti.

School Commissioner Lister has issued a circular concerning the County Teachers' Institute which opens at Ypsilanti, July 5, which contains the following information:

By permission of the state board of education, the Institute for Washtenaw county becomes a part of the summer session of the Normal college. Washtenaw county teachers are allowed for four weeks from July 5, any subject free of tuition. This gives an opportunity to take work preparatory for any grade of certificate. Four weeks' attendance entitles applicants for certificates to an added credit of 5 per cent on standings obtained at examinations during the current year.

The summer session of the college is eight weeks. Any Washtenaw county teacher may remain the second four weeks by paying $1.50 tuition; may pass the examination here and obtain credit on a normal course. This standing will be accepted by the county board of school examiners in lien of the county examination.

Board and room can be had at reasonable rates. For particulars regarding these write Miss Frances Stewart, clerk of the Normal College. If Ann Arbor is the more convenient place for you to stay during the Institute, three or four can buy a mileage book on the electric road together, and thus minimize the expense.
