The following are the counties desig-
mated by the committee and the time
fixed for commencing the session in
each. 81
Monroe, April, 17th. rive deem it
unnecessary TO insert the other coun.
ties named in the circular.]
1t is the intention Of the Executive
Committee to make further arrange
ments for holding Institutes in other
counties Of the State as soen'asi practi-
cable. z=ss
The object Of Teachers Institutes
is 10 present to Teachers a brief course.
of instruction in all the branches usual.
|ly taught in Common Schools, to dis.
cuss the best methods Of illustrating
principles, ~impar,ing instruction., gov
erning and CHASING schools, and, if pos.
sible, TO convince both Teachers and
citizens ofthe immeasurable importance
Of furnishing the best possible educa-
ton TO all the children of the State. #
The utility Of such schools, has been
fully tested in our own and other States,
and, in view of their Importance, it is
hoped that every county in Ohio may
soon have a session Of al least q week,
for such a school. 3
The condition upon which the com
mittee can secure Instructors to hold
Institutes in the above named counties,
is, that thirty dollars shall be raised to
pay tor the services of two instructors
for a week. When a class can be
formed, numbering fifty and upwards;
the expense would be but a tri1e for
each; so little that it is believed that no
county will hesitate IN account Of the
expense. 1t is very desirable that each
county should furnish at least one or
two Of its most competent teachers to
attend regularly through the week, and
give instruction in some department Of
science. Public spirited teachers are
usually ready 10 attend institutes in
their own county in this way, without
charge for their services. Incidental
expenses for fuel or lights, must be paid
ny TIC CidsS. ~ 10 itnPoil"iil ui"' tHo
subject should be taken into immediate
consideration, that the Chairman of the
Executive Committee may be informed
whether the proposals made are ac-
cepted. Any further information that
may be desired with respect to these
schools, or the method Of conducting
them, will be furnished by applying to
any member Of the Executive Commit
tee. |
1t is suggested that counties, feeling
an interestin this subject should instruct
their Representatives in the Legislature
to have their county included among
those allowed to make appropriations
from the public fund to pay the expense
of holding a Teachers Institute annual.
