Vas read by Prof. Il. G. Mcclure. We
wish that every teacher and school direc>
tor in the county could have heard the
paper. 1t contains many valuable sug-
gestions. and We hope to be able to pub.
lish it for the benefit Of those who did
not hear it.
Prof. J. G.. McFerrin addressed the
Institute on Teaching as a Profession.

dress on the Necessary Preparation for
Teaching. Both Of these addresses were
replete with practical suggestions. So
the evening session was q complete sue
cess.
The paper read by Mrs. L. Z. johnson
On Primary Instruction, "Wednesday FORE
noon, made u fine impression on the
members of the Institute. The expe>
rience Of a practical and thoughtful teach'
er is worth something to those who wish
to understand more about the science Of
teaching. Primary instruction has never
yet received the attention which the i'm
) portance of the subject demands.
J Prof. W. A. Nelson read before the
. Institute some valuable suggestions, and
practical hints from HOME AND School

: Of these suggestions carried out in thu
. country schools. Many Of us do not I'M
derstand what a graded school is.
