the attention of the teachers and all
friends of education to the notice Of
the Teachers Institute to be held at
Clifton, commencing September 3D.,
1877, and would respectfully say that
every teacher in the county should
BE in prompt and regular attend
ance upon its exercises, and thus
.sliI themselves OF this admirable
moams of advancing themselves in
Thorough preparation for their
work. by the amended school law,
enacted last winter, the school month
is to consist Of twenty-five days, ex-
Guiding Saturday, twenty days OF
which must l,c spent in the school
room, and two days in Institute
work. From this we perceive that
an attendance npon an Institute is
compulsory upon the part of teach
crs, and we hope Mason county
teachers will turn ont largely on the
81 day of next month.
