LOCUST TOWNSHIP INSTITUTES.


These institutes were organized .5y
tne school dire ,tOrS of said township,
and have been successfully conducted
for three winter terms of school. The
objects in view have been the ad vance
ment and encouragement of the teacher
in his profession. Both of these have
been accomplished. We have carefully
watched the proceedings of the insti,
tutea al marked the results in the
school room. Therefore we do not hes
ltate TO make the above assertion. For.
merly, it was thought any person could
obtain school in Locust township and
we are sorry to have to acknowledged the
truth of the assertion, in great degree.
But since the organization Of teachers

Of as good corps Of teachers As any

sincere thanks to the school board who
have done so nObly during the past
three years in encouraging teachers,
building school houses and advancing
the cause of education in various ways.
We earnestly hope the board who are
about to take their places will consider

and the cause thereof, and continue the
good work until Locust township shal II
