TEACHERS INSTITUTE We would no
tify the public that the monthly meeting
of the Teachers Institute of New Castle
County, will take place on Saturday
next at the City Hall, at ten O'Clock IN
the morning. We wish the success of this
Institute for we believe its objects are Of
the highest character, and the mode Of
procedure is such as to meet entire apDrn-
baton. The Association consists of teach
ers and friends uf cducation-a conihina-
tion which should accomplish something
beneficial to the community. We under.
stand that every thing connected with
schools and the art and science of teaching,
comes before the body, and is discussed with
great freedom, and such matters as are
deemed profitable and practical, receivethe
seal of-approbation, while empty fancie u
doubtful projects are shown little favor at
their hands Such spirit and action .el-
tainly merit encouragement, and we hope
many members may be added to the prc-
sent roll of the Society, and that succc,s
may attend the enterprise
