selected to make the contacts with the local school ‘people
in organizing institute centers and areas, and in making the
preliminary plans for any institute.

be appointed to serve as the general promotional staff for
these institutes. This committee would be charged with the
development of the finished program, the enlistment of the
cooperation of other groups or agencies in the promotion of
the institutes, and the general promotion and publicizing of
the institutes.

State Teachers Association and of the State Department of

of these agencies be enlisted for whatever support they may

give to the general institute program.
