The Teachers Institute of Mason
county convened upon last Monday
at the Court House, in this place
C. e. Hogg, County Superintendent,
after calling the Institute to order
proceeded to explain in few appro-
pirate remarks the object of the
meeting. After his address the In.
stitute organized by clecting Messrs.
NJ. F. Yeager and 7. Pofenbargor, as
Secretaries. The roll was then call
ed, resulting in the largest member
ship ever before enrolled. This GER
tainly speaks we'll for our Institutes,
and shows plainly that our teachers
will not permit these golden harvests
to pass without gathering seeds of
knowledge. After the programme of
the afternoon had been announced
the Institute adjourned to meet at 2
p. m. The afternoon session was
opened with prayer by Rev. W. E,
Hill. The Institute then proceeded
to carry out the programme: LIST.
An essay was then read by Prof. w.
j, Kenny, subject, "Waste of Labor
in the School Work" The Professor
handled the subject in a manner
which showed he had given it much
attention. He earnestly urged upon
all teachers of our land to strive and
teach all the youths entrusted to
their care, that they should be moral,
that they should strive to learn not
only the truths taught in every day
life, but should remember with rev.
orence the sacred teachings of the
Bible.
