I time during the month of July and August.
There was an amendment offered by sd-
ding the words, And that the officers OF
the Association take timely measures 70 call
the attention Of Teachers TO it."
The resolution, as amended. was unani.
mously adopted. W. r. Smith then offered
the following resolution:

/ teachers.
/ Resolved, That we individually stand pledg-
ed to use our influence and reasonable exer-
/ tons 10 secure the largest possible vote for
an amendment to the Constitution.
4 Prof Hoss remarked that he was gald the
resolution had been presented. At a low es-
innate, there are more than two thousand
adult male teachers in this State. They con-
stitute great power. They should tell the
politicians that they viii vote for the good OF
the people, and heed not the demagogues
who ask them to vote for gambling Lieaten-
ant Gocernors and drunken GoreTRors-
The resolutions were then re -read and I'm
animously adopted. The Institute then adj
journed until AS, to listen to an address by
DR. Butler He failing to be present at The

The resolutions were received BY taking a
rising vote, after which some very appropr-
, ate remarks were made by the members.

do his feelings justice without expressing his sem
tEents in reference to the worth of this eStimabe

The speaker remarked that as long as cradle
hymns and the enGearmeuts Of maternal soicitude
are sung and appreciated, so long Will the mem
DRY Of the deceased be cherished with aif-ctonate
regard. Contemplating these things we can APP
