Hartford County Teachers Institute.
FRIDAY,

FRIDAY.
The institute was opened with singing by the
choir, and prayer by Rev. L. NJ. Cathcart. AT
ter the distribution of the rules and blanks, the
president made some explanations with regard
to their use, stating that trustees children ought
not to be placed on the "ffee list" and if pupils
are sick, teachers should not charge for said
time.
The question "Shall we have Time Tables ~
was brought prominently before the Institute
by r. w. Eubank explaining upon the black
board the time table in use in his department in
the Graded School at Havre de Grace. All teach
ers must have time table, either visible or i'll
visible, much better if visible. Miss Smith never
uses written ones, Has grades so arranged that
while one class are coming to recite, the preced-
ing one may retire. j. w. Carter believes the
time table of great value in the school room, the
only difficulty being that one study would en-
croach upon another. II. w. Eubank would
call the next class when the special time had
expired Mrs. Chase has mathematical studies
In the morning; geography and grammar in the
afternoon. Prof Baird does not see how
school can be conducted without a time table.
BY following it you can almost perfectly gradu-
ate yourself to its necessities. Miss A. M. L.
Mitchell has always used time table. Could
not dispense with it, Miss Beeman could not
conduct her school without one. Miss Ohley
would vary the time table, occasionally making
a new one. Children like variety. 1t is the
spice of life. j. &. Smith obviates The necessity
of "setting copies" by soliciting the engraved
plates after they have been used from the teach.
ers of Baltimore county. Miss Laura Bradley
thinks there is bad state of affairs in Hartford
county if she had to go begging for copy-piates.
For the honor Of the county she is willing TO
dispense with them.
President Harlan, before closing the institute,
made brief but appropriate address, urging
all to work during this scholastic year harmon
iously believing that if perseverance and de-
termination to acquit ourselves as becoming to
the important vocation still continue to charac-
terize our body in greater measure, better
state of affairs will dawn upon Hartford county.
On motion of T. NJ. Cathcart, vote of thanks
was given to the President with great enthusiasm
The same, on motion ofJ. w. Burkins, was ten
dcred to the pastor and trustees of the Presby
terrain Church, aud on motion of Prof. Baird to
the choir and all who assisted in the exercises of
the Teachers Association.
After the singing of several inspiring tunes by
the choir, and benediction by Rev. I. NJ. Cath
cart, the President pronounced the Institute ad-
journed.
Thus closed the most pleasant and profitable
session it has ever been our privilege TO attend
President Harlan, by his kind and urbane man
ner, firm, conscientious convictions, and untir-
ing devotion to his work, won all hearts. We
go to our appointed work strengthened and en-
cournged to perform the duties and heavy re-
sponsibilities deyolving upon us. May success
attend us.
