I. Organization of Teachers. The teachers shall meet in the evening of the first day of school or previous to that time for the purpose of organization, and one or more shall be nominated for president, and one or more for secretary, one of whom shall be elected by ballot as president, and one for secretary for the entire year or term. II. After organization the president shall choose one or more to procure or prepare an outline of the respective branches to be taught in the township during the year. If there is no uniform set of books in the township the organization should notify the board and have them see to it at once. In outlining the work care should be taken not to outline too far so that the pupil may thoroughly understand what he has studied. III. 1.
