~fcation of it at the Inauguration of their
Vice. President, on the 4th inst. Mr..
Andrew Johnston, of Tennessee, was in
such a state Of beastly intoxication, when

as Vice President, that the speech which
he undertook to deliver, bears more re-

give such a report as has come to some

not do justice to it. The full report. as

Teachers Institute.

A Teachers Institute, under the auspi-
Hces of the Boards CT Examiners of
Ashland and Richland counties, will be
held in Mansfield, beginning Monday,
April 3D., and continue throughout the
week. .HI.y
Mr.. E. =. White, State School Com.
missioner, has promised his services, and
other prominent educators from abroad
will be secured. The object Of this In
stitutc is twofold; while much will be
gained by the facilities of intercourse
among our teachers afforded by this
means; the other and main object is to
furnish a source, whence a better appre-
citation of teaching as an art, and more
complete fitness for its exercise, may be
gained. The lack of this has long been
realized by those, whose position has led
them, more infinitely to investigate tho
workings Of our school machinery, and
from the success of like organizations in
adjoining coupties, it is confidently be-.
lieved that an Institute Of this kind will
be ofgreat service in ours.
No efforts will be spared, which can
render the coming session emiuently
pleasant and profitable. The instructions
given will be thoroughly practical, as all
who have listened to Commissioner
White will testify. Lessons will be given
upon the best methods Of instruction in
the common English branches, as well
as upon school discipline and Govern.
ment. An efficient teacher Of music will
also be secured. The fees paid by appli-
cants for examination are appropriated
to defray the expenses Of the Institute,
and in this way only, are they able to Sc,
cure q really valuable return from their
investment.
1t is expected that the people o: Mans
field will extend their hospitality to
teachers who attend, as the benefit deri-
we'd, aecrues not only to the teachers
themselves, but especially to the patrons
Of the schools, and the public at large.
