Hon. Henry Barnard, Chancellor of the Wis
consin State University, will hold Teachers
Institute in Kenosha, during the week com.
mencing Nov 9TH 1859. tits earnestly desired
that there may be large attendance of teachers,
officers of schools, and friends of education, du-
ring its session;
| DIR. Barnard is Agent of the Board ofNormal
School Regents, and, in the discharge ofhis du-
ties as such, has proposed to hold twelve Insti-
tutes. in arious parts of the State, the present
year. One of these he has kindly consented to
conduct here. during the week above named.
There is no instrumentaity more effective in
promoting the cause of popular education, than
the Teachers Institute, 1t addresses itself to
teachers and patrons of public schools To the
teachers it gives technical instruction of the
hi CHEST order; and the lectures delivered are
designed to sprea d enlarged views of education
to develope in the public mind "a deeper;interest
in our public schools. Under the management
of DIR. Barnard, no one doubts but that the high
est point of efficiency will be reached in the In.
stitutes to be held in the State.
The daily exercises of the Institute will con-
sist of class instruction and thorough drills in
the branches taught in public schools; of lee
lures upon the theory and practice of teaching,
upon chool government, &c, and of discussion
of topics co injected with education. Each even.
ing, popular lecture will be delivered by DR.
I IL \.
rience.
Next week, we hope to be able to publish a
programme of the exercises of each day and
evening, Meanwhile I'VE would say to the
teachers of the County Allow nothing to
prevent your attendance at this session of the
stronger in head and heart, after the exercises
of the week. You viii be able to do your work
more faithfully and acceptably ever afterward.
For long time past, the schools of the County
have been demanding better class of teachers;
but hitherto this demand has not been general
iy met.
Now, in many districts, the SHOOT authorities
are insisting upon higher qualifications in those
to whom they would intrust the care of their
schools so that many persons engaged in teach
ing, will have to devote themselves to selfim-
proyement or they will be forced out of the pro-
tession by others more worthy and competent
1t would then, be very unwise to neglect this
opportunity of culture, and such an opportunity
too as is enjoyed very rarely and by compare
lively few teachers. We sincerely trust that,
or the sake OF themselves, as well as their
schools, every teacher in the County will at
tend.
We cordially invite The school officers of the
County to be present also. They will receive
information which they may find serviceable in
the discharge of the duties pertaining to their
respective offices.
We hope our citizens generally, will give as
much of their time to the sessions of the Insti-
tute as they can. They will find it both inter
esting and profitable to them.
Through the hospitality of the citizens ofKe-
nosha, teachers and friends of education attend
ing the Institute, will be entertained free of ex-
pense. The day session will be held in the
High School room; the evening, in one of the
churches of the city.
Next week, we will publish programme and
such other arrangements as the Committee shall
have made up to that time.
