by referring to our advertising columns, that
the first annual Teachers Institute of New
Castle county, will be held in the Town Hall,
of Middletown, on the 2Sth. 29th and 30th OF
October. 1t is to be hoped that the Institute
may be perfect success, therefore the Super
intendent is not only desirous Of having the
entire number of the teachers of this county
present, but all others that are interested IN
the education of our children. Come one,
come all and help in our great and glorious
cause. He also hopes that the commissioners

may consider the knowledges to be gained at
the Institute, OF such vital Importance to their |
schools as to give to the teachers the time
they may lose in attending its sessions. G.
