TEACHERS INsTITUTE.-.Th Fairhaven
Journal thus speaks of the coming Teach
ers' Institute: The Secretary of the Board
of Education has announced that teach
ers' institute, for Rutland county, will be
held in this place, commencing Monday,
March 18th, and closing Friday, March
nth.
At the last session of the Legislature
the law was so changed as to allow five
days for each institute, and teachers at
tending are not to lose their time. There
is also provided an examination of teach
ers, and al who receive certificates are
entitled TO teach during the year without
further examination by town superintend-
ents.
1t IN hoped that there will be large
attendance of teachers and friends of edu-
cation ut this institute. Its object is not
alone to improve teachers, but TO arouse
an interest in the cause of education, to
wake up the people ~ the importance OF
the question, and it is very desirable that
there should be fall attendance, not on
ly of teachers, but of all the friends Of
education.
