The School Directors of the county will do
well to notice the following, given in answer to
the question: cat what time does the term of
office OF directors who are elected Mt the winter
or spring elections, commence for 1861"
was enacted April %, 1868, that from and
after the first day of January, 1864, the term
OF office of School Directors should commence
on the first Monday of June in each year. AL
30 that the term of Office of school directors
then in office shall severally be extended until
the first Monday of June of the year in which
their term of office expires. BY this law direc-
tors who are elected at the winter or spring e.
an ie F 9s Monday ea aa sfstsa in h Patgad
whose term of Office expires this year are to
continue to act with the board until that date.
Any action of board in which the newly elect
ed members took their seats before said first

transacted should be acted upon again by the
old board.

selves to professional study, or have their igno.
rance and carelessness exposed. An additional
amount OF labor is thus imposed, to which the
true teacher will willingly submit. We are on
ly successful by Iaborious effort.
While the principal object of the Institute
should be professional improvement. parents and
citizens generally should be induced to attend.
On such occasions exercises of more general
nature should be introduced-not merely for
their present entertainment but for giving cor
rect views upon educational topics in regard to
which misunderstanding exists. -
TO insure regularity. and puuctuality in at
tendance, correct minute of the proceedings
OF the Institute should be kept, which should
at all times be open to the inspection of direc-
tors, or synopsis of these minutes be monthly
presented to the District Secretary. A failure
to perform any reasonable duty assigned should
be treated as failure to perform any of the
usual school room duties a
The want of professional reading is felt by
many of our teachers, and this can only be sup
piled by establishing libraries in connection with
the District Institute Many of those now en-
S"oSN =" 'S''ohiiis5 arc LOO poorly compensated
to make much outlay for this purpose In no
other way could directors better dispose of a
small portion of the funds of the district than
by adding, annually, few we'll selected vol
umes to an Institute Library; thus insuring to
every teacher constant supply of reading mat
tel upon educational topics
Difficulties in the way of successfully cstab-
fishing Institutes in all OF the different districts of
the State may lead to notifications of the gem
eral.p plan of operation; but many of these are
imaginary. The county which represent has
reasonable share of these difficulties, yet we
have an organized Institute in every district,
with an attendance of at least 80 per cent. of
the teachers employed. Where there are real
difficulties in the way, liberal construction
should be put upon the law, and the district, as
much as possible, relieved.
Objections are frequently ur.ed, and with
some plausiblity, that the Institutes, owing to
the conduct of the members, often entirely fail
in accomplishing the desired purpose, and send
away persons completely disguised with their
proceedings Teachers who act in this way de-
serve censure If they cannot conduct them
selves with proper dignity and decorum while
engaged in exercises for mutual improvement,
they are not YarLhy the -'aa.as ~>--
