distinct organization Of teachers must be
sastained AS conventions, conferences,
syno6s, and presbyteries are, essential to
the maintenance of political and ecclesi-
estical interests, so are educational asso-
Citations necessary to the cause of educa-
tion.. The Institute Of this county has
two objects in view:
First, to train teachers for the import
ant duties of the school room; aud second
to secure harmonious and living princi-
pie of action in all the detuils Of the pro-
fession. In word, teaching must not
be an isoluted business sit must be holy
brotherhood. 1t is admitted, however,
that there are several schools eminently
fitted to qualify teachers for their profes-
sion, in this county--among which, the
one located at the county seat has been
doing effective service for several years.
Prof. Moore is accomplishing good
work for our young friends. The Insti-
tute of this county operates chiefly on the
masses-infuses living principle among
the rural districts, and is instrumental in
sustaining system of popular education.
The Institute is already in the posses
sion of Pelton's outline maps, an air
pump; and has access to Holbrook's
school apparatus.
We appeal to the ancient spirit of the
teachers of Monroe county: May we
look to the approaching meeting with
unusual interest. Let the young teacher
come-those more advanced come--fnally,
let there be a general assemblage Of all
ages and grades of teachers, from the
remotest parts of the county An inyl-
tuition is further extended to teachers OF
adjoining counties. La word, we hope
the metropolis of the comfy will present
an unusual demonstration Of teachers, not
only at the "N Normal y but at the regular
school under the supervision of Prof
Moore.
The exercises of the Institute will COM
mence on the last Monday of August
next. They will be more particularly
announced by the principal.
