The teachers of Holmes County will
hold an institute 1T the Union School,
in Millersburg, on the 26th, 9th, 18th,
29th and Both of August, 1872.
The Hon. Thomas w. Harvey, School
Commissioner of Ohio, is invited to be
present and assist in conducting the In
stitHte.
Prof Samuel J. Kirkwood, of Woos-
ter University, an able and eXper-
fenced teacher, will conduct the Insti-
tute.
Prof. Kirkwood has been connected
with Teachers Institutes for years in
Ohio, all over the State; and every
where his energy and skill has COM
manded the support and cooperation
of the teachers and school officers ofour
common schools.
Prof. John C.. Ridge, of Cincinnati,
who is said by Kidd to be ''the greatest
Elocutionist in the West'-and one
who does not teach the ornamental
style of reading alone, but teaches the
plain and practicable rules by which
good readers and speakers are governed.
Prof. Chas. Louis L0os, Superintend-
ent of Millersburg Schools, Miss Mag
gle Harper, Andrew Johnston and 9TH
er experienced teachers of the County,
will assist in making the Institute an
advantage to our teachers.
We hope that teachers and school Of
ficers all over the county will use their
influence to secure large attendance.
Every teacher in the county should at
tend. The teacher says to his pupil,
''Unless you study your lesson you can
not recite," which is true. The school
officers of Ohio say to their teachers
that unless you cannot teach, which is
equally as true as the teachers propO-
sition.
Teaching is profession, and like ey-
cry other profession requires life, energy
and study to attain eminence among its
members. The good people of Ohio do
not appropriate millions of dollars an
nually to support "quackery'' for the
intelligence; but this money is expend-
ed for the purpose of furnishing the
youths of Ohio with a good practical
education. This object can only be at
tanned through the efficiency of our
teachers, who are under moral obliga-
ton to qualify themselves SO they can
properly discharge their duties. Teach
er's Institutes are organized for this
purpose, that teachers who may not
have the means of obtaining a good
Normal education at our Normal schools
can receive the next best method of in
structions tor teachers.
In reply to the many interrogatiOns
of teachers In regard to securing board
ing during the Institute we have assur-
ances from many of the citizens of Mil
lersburg that accommodations will be
furnished for all at very reasonable
rates. We would be glad to have those
who may desire to secure place to stop
at while attending the Institute to write
us at any time so we can make arrange
ments.
The Musical Department will be a
new feature in our Institutes. Mr.. An
drew Johnston, who will conduct that
department, has consented to place one
of his Spang Organs in the rooms of
the Institute during its continuance, so
that the Musical Department may be eX-
pected to be not only profitable but
pleasant. The following is the pro-
