types. There will be groups of children representing the
different grade levels which the different staff members
will use in their demonstrations.

Conferences

Staff members of the Institute will be glad to confer
with teachers as long as their time schedules permit. It
is hoped that those who attend the institute will utilize
the conference periods by scheduling appointments, either
as individuals or as small groups, with the institute lead-

discussed can receive attention by making an application
with the leaders.

are on exhibit. Supplementary reading materials and
reading books will be on display in the Men’s Lounging
Room in the Union Building. Also, various instruments
of use in Reading Diagnostic work will be on display in
this room,

Since one of the major problems in teaching reading is
the development of the child’s background of experience,
motion pictures and sound pictures have come to be re-

Visual Instruction Department, Fred S. Montgomery,

useful to teachers of reading. Each evening a set of pic-
tures will be shown dealing with different levels of child-
ren’s interests.

Recreation

Through the cooperation of the Physical Education De-
partment recreational facilities of the University will
be available daily north of the Fowler Shops building.
These facilities have been very popular with the summer
