Watters, conductor of the institute at Martin in 1911, made the following statement in regard to the institute: "The institute was unanimously voted a decided success by teachers and faculty. The attendance was unusually large, enrollment being 420, besides instructors and visitors. The personnel of the student body was far above the average. Most of those in attendance were teachers of experience, and their age and culture gave a noticeable degree of strength and refinement to the appearance and conduct of the student body. The instructors were unanimous in praise of the conduct of the teachers. There was a total absence of loafers, or those having a disposition to shirk serious work. In fact, the common remark of all visitors was 'I never saw such hard working teachers.' Professional enthusiasm reached a high point." Of the institute at Martin in 1912, Conductor Watters writes: "The institute was highly satisfactory in every respect to the instructors and teachers. The attendance exceeded that of the previous year, being 462, besides instructors and visitors." Of the work of his colleagues in both institutes he speaks words of highest praise. Mr. H. H. Ellis, who was conductor of the institute at Paris in 1911,. had the following statement to make in regard to the institute: "I have never seen a more orderly, hard working body of teachers anywhere. No 'campus course' was indulged in during the entire institute. The instructors were persons of ability, and handled their subjects in an interesting manner and to the satisfaction of the entire body of teachers. Conductor Harry Clark, of the institute at Manchester in 1911, had this to say: "Our students were as hard working and attentive body as I ever saw, and every one in Manchester commented upon their serious attitude. They were all in their places even during the open hour, and there was no running out after roll call. Let me commend all our faculty for their hard working, tireless efforts." S. H. Thompson, writing of the institute at Clinton in 1912, says: "I have never seen a better institute or teachers who were more attentive to their work. I want to thank you for the excellent faculty you gave me." |
