have been invited to be present, aud will
aid the weight Of their influence in favor
OF Education. Besides the regular exer-
ciscs of the Institute, addresses from

cred. 'We.sce that the j Johnstown Direc-
ior' have postponed the opening Of their
schools for several days, in order to allow
their teachers TO attend The Institute, and
those so doing will be credited with the
humber of days thus consumed This is
me proper spirit, and should meet with
general imitation throughout the various
school districts. 1t is too nianifestly the
duty of teachers to attend these cduca-
n0aal gatherings TO admit of question,
aud 1t is equally the duty of directors to
afford them every facility in their power
90 to do. Excursion tickets, we under
sand, will be issued on the Pennsylvania
hallroad between Johnstown and Gallitz
IN, good during the continuance of the
Institute. We hope to see large repre-
'entat:on of the profession upon which
centre our hopes of future greatness as a
Fe'pie present-a sure guaranty that the
ehho5iing cause of Education IS not being
'''o"ed to retroerade by its constituted
'0nservators in this county.
