 There were probably not over. 300 of the 16,363 (1911 Report) teachers 

 in the rural districts of the State unsupplied.

 villages of the State received leaflets.

 classes were supplied.

During 1911-1912 many of the district superintendents have held 

 teachers' conferences in connection with farmers' institutes. The con- 

 ferences have proved particularly valuable at that time, since the services 

 of both agricultural instructors and representatives of the State Education 

 Department were available. Teachers can contribute to the success of 

 such meetings and get much from them by presenting questions and by 

 offering experiences that might prove helpful to others. The district 

 superintendents should encourage teachers to come to such meetings 

 prepared to do their part to make the meetings useful. Any part of the 

 State Syllabus or lessons in the Rural School Leaflet not understood 

 should be brought up for discussion. The teachers can get the best 

 help by presenting specific problems to the instructors.
