i convene at the Court House, in the Borough OF
Sunbury, on Monday, January 25th 1869, at p. NJ,

tho same as If they were in School and those who
absent themselves from tho Institute of their own
county without good reason, may have their want
OF professional spirit and zeal indicated by certificates
of lower grade at the next examination. See
Penn'a School Journal, May '67, page 272.
The Teachers Institute is legal requisiton 1t
is therefore expected that every teacher in the coun
ty will be in attendance. Under the present law
each teacher may receive pay while attending the
County Institute, as though teaching, unless the
board Of his district decide otherwise.
1t is earnestly hoped that overy board will allow
its teachers time and pay to attend the coming Inst
tute, as experience has shown that the money thus
paid has been most judiciousy expended. The
benefits will be greater as the attendance is larger.
A record of the daily presence or absence of each
teacher will be made by the Secretary, q copy of
which will be forwarded each board if desired in
order TO assist them in making selection Of teachers
next year.
