following as my report Of work done
since your last session. | visited
schools until the summer terms cos
ed or a vacation was taken for har-
vest.
The Normal Institute commenced
the 26th day of July. | had four
teachers as follows. Prof. +. Baker,
Prof H H. Freer. Prof. RIG. Young
and Miss Lizzie TslImsn. The
branches taught were Grammar. Ar
ithmetic, Geography, History, Physi
ology, Reading, Orthography and
Writing. There was an actual en-
rolment of forty.two members; there
should have been larger attendance.
but owing to the fact that i, is not
compulsory on the part of the teach
ers to attend, and also its being at an
uafavorable season Of the year for the
young men 10 leave their work, the
attendance was considerably smaller
than il would have been. The law
requires it t. be held a. a time when
the schools of the county are gener-
ally closed. The schools of the
county are almost entirely closed dur
ing August, while in September the
fall schools Of the county and the
graded schools commence. 1t also
woull be matter nfimpossibility to
obtain teachers at any other season
of the year from the fact that insti-
,ute workers as a rule are engaged
as teachers in our graded schools. |

not vacated.
Upon the petition to establish a

That from the testimony
produced it seems clear that road
to the cemetery situa'ed near the
west line of sec tp &C., is needed

public uses; aud we are of opinion
hat private way wi h ga.es open
