TIE TEACHERS IHBFITUTE OF LoRA1E
AND CUYAHoeA CoUNTIEs.-Teaohers Insti-
tutes are among the most genial and de-
liehtful of all associations. After the tolls
Of tho Winter are over, the teachers of the
above counties have rallied together at North
Amherst, L rain county, and enjoyed the
advantages of the instructions and lectures
of those who have had experience and repu-
tation among the teachers of the State. The
Instruction received was not the only advan-
tage. Throwing of the dignity and ssreni-
ty of the profession, the teachers Of Cuyaho-
ga and LOrsin, to the number of nearly 200,
enjoyed happy and hearty interohsnges Of
social life and relaxation.
Thepersons present on this occasion pro-
nounce this Institute to have been the most
happy and profitable that has been held for
many years. It was the general observation
that better looking and more intelligently
appearing body of young lady teachers, have
never been brought together in the history
of Teachers Institutes. It was really q
tribute to the teachers calling that so many
of the good and beautiful were present.
Among those who did much to give"so
much interest to the occasion, were Mr.. T.
W. Harvey of MsssiIon, one of the very best
teachers in the State of Ohio, and a gentle
man of fine accomplishments; Prof. A.
Schuyler Of Baldwin University, a very su-
perior mathematician and IN excellent in
structor in all the various branches Of num-
bers; Mr.. H. Parker of Elyria, whose cor
dial manners and earnest interest in the
work were great addition to the Institute /;
Mr.. E. White, State School Commissioner,
who was present during the last two days,
and who added his large fuud of experience
and knowledge to the labors of the others /;
DR.. 7. Sterling, Principal of the Central
High School of Cleveland; Mr.. Eastman,
Principal of the MayfOwsr street Grammar
School; Mr.. Hunt of our City Schools, to-
gether with number of other gentlemen
from various quarters of the State.
We assure the teachers of Lorain and Guy
ahoga, who did not attend, that one very
profitable and interesting Opportunity was
lost. In addition to the corps of instructors
already mentioned, there was present the
inimitabIs, the drOlI, the ever gOOd-natured
gentleman from Zanesvills, RIO. Beer. His
presence has already became necessity to
all institutes in CuyahOga county.
The citizens of Amherst did nobIy in the
work of entertaining the teachers present.
The village is a beautiful place, seven miles
beyond Elyria on the sandusky Railroad.
Such generous hospitality as was shown by
the citizens of that place will always be re-
membered by the teachers of both the above
counties.
We may also add, in closing this notice,
that the new school law of the State is such
that first class Teachers Institute can be
held in every county in the State. The
funda aceruing frem tho examination of
teachers, are hereafter, on the petition of for
ty teachers in any county, to be devoted to
sustaining Teachers Institutes.
The teachers of the State of Ohio may
therefore take courage from the prospect be-
fore them. Teaching is to be exalted into a
profession.
We trust therefore that all teachers will
take lively interest hereafter in all Teach
er's Institutes and make them such as that
Just cIossd in North Amherst, Lorain coun-
ty.
