We are firm believer in Teachers
Institutes, a. educational agents: and
20 every thoughtful person who wishes
well to this kind must also be. The
Normal Schools in this state are doing
good work in preparing onr Young
men and Young women TO become good
teachers. Projecting and building rail-
roads is well. in fact il i only doing
that which the public demand and which
must sooner or later come to be done in
all communities. Railways have be-
come a necessity. and they will be built
in spite of croakers or timid drones. 80
the Normal School, and Teachers Insti-
tutes have become q necessity. and such
necessity a. will be supplied Teach

II we were school agents. we should al
WAYS give the preference. in hiring teach
ers, TO those who had availed themselves
of the advantages of these schools. There
must be better teachers. other things
being equal, than those who STAY away
from them. But We need not dwell on
the necessity nor the advantages of these
schools, but our duty is, rather, to en-
deavor TO get the citizens TO appreciate
more fully the boon that the state is
granting to them in paving the bills and
sending to their very doors as it were,
the Normal School and the Institute and
also to urge them TO hasten to obtain all
the good that can be got from these
schools. No parent that has child
should fail to send it to Castine TO be
instructed If of suitable age, and if it bv
any possibility is to become teacher.
So every person that has undertaken the
important and serious duty of teaching, |

this kind successful ii must be the out
