The Teachers Institute at


The Teachers Institute at
River Falls. - This Convention,
which has long been anticipated with IN
usual interest, by the hus Teachers of the
st. Croix valley, was in session during the
last week in this village. 1t is, VIC believe,
the first Institute ever held in this section
under the auspices of the State; and we
are happy to announce its complete sue
cess. We are sure that no one could have
been present during its various exercises
without feeling conviction of the utility
Of Teachers Institutes; and of their abso-
Into necessity, in order to give to our
Common Schools, and to Higher lnst:tu-
tons also, such Teachers as the Educa-
tional policy of our State contempates.
If Chancellor BARNARD was the origl-
nator of these Institutes in this country,
"a we believe he was, he stands second to
no one on the continent, in his claims to
our regard as public benefactor--at least
in the line of his labors. We certain ly
feel respect for bis sagacity, sinca ne can
not personally supervis, all these lnstl-
utes,-in selecting such man to conduct
,hem ss was sent here-Prof. +. A. Al
LEN. The Prof. worked here Ike hero !;
and has left his mark on more minds here
than those of his pupils; and has won for
himself golden opinions Of his power IS
genuine educator.
We should be glad to devote three oil
four columns of our paper IN recording
more infinitely the substance of the Tarl-
Qua Lectures and the proceedings and
,liscussonsSat the Institute; but we have
time only to give condensed abstract.
The Institute was opened on Monday
evening, Oct, "a, bv lecture from Prof.
ALIEN, 70 a large audience assembled ID
she Congregational Church, tho I'M
portancs of having established in Wiscon-
sin n correct educational system, and tke
relation of Teachers Institutes to this re-
suit.
Ii WAS sound and eminen.iy practical,
commencing Itself to the judgment and
patriotism of every thinking man. He
was followed by Prot. Wilcox, Prime ~
Of River Falls Academy, and Prof. A. IL.
WELD, author of Yields Eng. Grammar,
who stated in connection the true position
of the Teacher-the Importance of his
mission, and commended the efforts now
making to lit Teachers for their response
bic duties.
The audience were favored on this, and
ether evenings with fine intorludes of mu-
sic, ty the church choir under their able
and efficient leader Prof. 6. w. PRATT.
The selections were in fine taste and ad-
Inir.bly sung.
On Tuesday morning, the Institute wa;
properly organized at the Academy; and
programme of the exercises was present
cd bv Prof. Allen. Prof Wilcox, by ap-
pointment, presided during the session.
About fifty ladies and gentlemen came
forward and joined the class. We sub
ioin their names and p. o. address. A
large proportion of them have been pr"c-
fical ToacheYs.
