2 The school law requires that
teachers institute shall be held 10 each
county once year at least.
3 The school law provides that teachers
who absent themselves without good
reason from their county institute may
have their standing ia Practice OF
Teaching" lowered.
4 Teachers who absent themselves
from the institute of their county with
out sufficient cause certainly show wan
of professional spirit and zeal and indeed
deserve censure-a live aud worthy
teacher will attend if possible.
3 Teachers institutes it is generally
conceded are productive of highly
beneficial results and supply need
which could no other way be met
Who will say that the members of the
,radcs aud of the profession are no:
materially benefited by their respec-
tive conventions!
6 Wilcox is for very many reasons
the proper place at which to hold the
Institute this year. 1t contains every
necessary convenience for convention
of teachers Large School House
Large Hotel at which members Of the
institute will be kept for Sl,0O per day
Large hearted people who will core for
teacher. free of charge. The institute
has been convened repeatedly at Cen
treville, st. Msrys and Ridgway but it
never has been held at Wilcox and
Wilcox has always contributed largely
towards the success OF institutes. Viii.
cox too is conveniently situated as it is
Only fourteen miles from Ridgway and
the fare Ly excursion tickets will be
only two cents per ni!e.
! We are informed that all tescLers
who attend the Institute faithfully will
be paid as if they were tsaching which
will amour. to about seSen hundred
dollars on The aggregate.
8 Teachers sho are not yet licensed
will please present themselves Tor sr.
animation at the institute. There are
teachers in this county who possess very
little stock in trade" and if they are
not faithful to these great means OF i'm
provemeut their rieh: to q teachers eer-
tiicate will b. rigidly questioned.
9 Teachers, it is your institute and
will you not support your o,on interests!
You are paid on an average about ten
dollars per week each and where the
district presents each Of you with ten
dollars and your time, aud where rail
roads carry you at cheap rates and
hotels keep you at halt price, and tn"
very best lecturers are provided and
every nerve strainei to make it cheap
profitable aud pleasant fop you all why
will YOU not attend? Iu consideration
of the facts that We mu.t have an in,
stitute, that our teachers need the in.
struction to he received at an institute.
that the cost which is heavy comes
from the tax payers, we claim tlal
teachers are not professionally faithful
or true to the best interests of all cou-
cerned when they do not carefully and
gratefully appropriate their institutes
(gifts) to their use.
