Mr.. EDIToR The Teachers Institute
for Windham County was held in this
place on Friday and Saturday last under
the direction Of Secretary Adams. A
large number of teachers were present,
and everything passed off in pleasant
manner Twelve candidates presented
themselves for examination seven OF whom
received certificates licensing them TO teach
in the State for five years. The Secretary
appointed as assisting examining commit
tee, Mr.. Bingham of Brattleboro, G. NJ.
Russell of Wilmington, and Miss Thomas
OF Bratileboro. Mrs. Mary II. Smith of
New York was presen, and gave an ex-
ceilent lecture on Geography, showing her.
self to be perfectly familiar with the sub
ject as well as an accomplished speaker.
Mrs. Smith was the assistant of Prof.
Guyot in preparing his Geographical
works, and she certainly is competent for
the task.
Prot. Walton of Lawrence, Mass. also
during the session explained the use of
his arthmetical tables, showing them to
be of the highest practical importance in
every common school these likewise have
been adopted by the Vermont Board of
Education.
Secretary Adams occupied the greater
part Of the time upon the topics of Gram
mar, Arithmetic and Geography, illus,rat-
ing in his immitable manner the absurd
and ridiculous course pursued by many
teachers in these branches, at the same
time giving the correct method to be pur-
sued.
Prof. Bingham Of Brattleboro also gave
very interesting remarks Saturday after
noon.
For the purpose of making proper ex-
preston TO the citizens of Brat ,leboro, the
following resolutions were presented by
Mr.. Russell and unanimously adopted:
Resolved By the members of the Hind
ham County Teachers Institute assembled,
That our emphatic and sincere thanks are
due to the members of the committee for
their untiring pains for our comfort, and
to the citizens Of The town for their liberal
hospitality so uniformly manifested during
the session of this institute.
Resolred, That copy of these resou-
lions be printed in each of the county
newspapers"
| In closing the Institute Mr.. Adams
made appropriate remarks respecting the
relation sustained by himself TO the schools
of the State for the past eleven years and
expressed himself as unable to endure the
cares of the office.
1t would be indeed great loss to the
State to have him resign, for it is fact.
there is not another man in Vermont SO
admirably suited for the position of Sec
rotary as he; let it be hoped then, that
means may be found so that his valuable
services may be retained, above all let
him .he properly rewarded ina pecuniary
sense. A.

The London Times Establishment.

John w. Forney, Jr., sends to the Phil
adelphia Press an account of visit to the
London Times establishment, which, as
coming from newspaper man, contains
some features of interest. The verbal
correctness of the Times is accounted for
by the fact that every line is gone over by
proof readers six or seven times before it
is considered ready for the forms, and then
an old printer is specially employed, whose
duty it is TO read the entire newspaper
each morning, and to report every typo
graphical mistake. The proofs are then
examined, the authors of the blunders
fined, and the amount thus obtained placed
to the credit Of the g, sick fund" Of the es-
Enlistment. And yet, after all this care,
we have noticed within year or two,
several typographical mistakes in the
Times.
Mr.. Forney found the composing room
neither large nor well ventilated, being
much inferior in these respects to the best
class of Offices in this country. Old fash
ioned stands and cases were also employ ed.
The best ompositors-only five or six
cannot earn over twenty-five dollars a
week, although it is nearly as expensive
living in London as in our large cities.
The daily circulation of the Times is
somewhat over forty thousand. OF the
four presses used, the best two are Hoes
and they not of his later or best manufac-
ture. There is a restaurant connected
with the establishment, at which food is
served at cost prices. There are eighteen
reporters, and a corresponding number of
editors, who are invisible TO the public.
The telegraph is much less used than in
this country, and less enterprise is shown
in procuring news. Mr.. Forney says that
nothing surprised him more than the COM
piete system prevailing throughout the es-
Enlistment. Nothing is allowed to 60 to
waste. A card is kept by the different
pressmen, and on it is marked the cause
of any spoiled sheet-whether it was the
fault of the paper-maker, the feeder, or
the press. The very rags with which the
machinery is wiped are counted, and those
who use them cannot receive clean ones
until they return the dirty ones. The lat
ter are then washed by washing machine
in the office, and it is said that this small
operation saves yearly one hundred and
fifty pounds.

Resolred, That Horace Greeley, by vol
unfairly becoming bail for the above pur-

and encouraged the rebels in their efforts
to prevent reconstruction upon safe
basis, but thereby committed an over act
of treason to the principles upon which
the late war was fought and won."
