In answer to numerous inquiries, we
take this method Of stating, that the
Peabody Institutes" which we expect
to have conducted, during this summer
probably four in each Congressional
District of the State-are provided for
hy DR.. B. Sears, General Agent OF the
Peabody Funi. They are placed by
him under my management, with .autEo.
rity to locate them, and to appoint the
instructors who shall conduct them
AS they form no part Of our school sys.
tenn. as provided for by our school law,
attendance on them will be entirely vol.
untary and cannot be credited to the
eight days OF attendance required by our
Law on County Institutes. Hence we
desire to locate them only among tcac h.
crs who desire and will appreciate them.
We earnestly solicit the active CO.
operation OF all teachers-particularl
the County Superintendent. Sections
81 Il 90 of the School Law impose new
and important duties upon these officers.
and they cannot fail to see the special
fitness OF these Peabody Institutes" to
prepare them for the more skilful per.
formance OF their new work. We shall
aim to have them con Quoted by expert
enced teachers, who, both by prccept
and example will present and enforce
the best methods, not only OF conduct.
ing Institutes, but OF teaching and man.
aging schools.
The wisdom OF the Legislature in
providing for County Institutes. at the
great expense which they nece ssarly in.
vove, can only be justified through faith
fulness and competency in the County
Superintendcnts in conducting the m,
ard we cannot too earnestly urge upon
them, the high obligation under which
they are placed, 70 embrace this oppor.
tunity for studying the best methods.
for performing this the most difficult, "a

agitation among the students con-
tinues. On the 10th inst. meet
ing was held to protest against the
violence of the soldiery. The oc-
currences against which the stu.
dents protested are as follows: The
Prefect of Police had promised to
bring an answer to the petition
calling attention to the oppression
of students and requesting the lib
GRAFTON of their colleagues arrested
at Charkoff. Instead of any reply
| being given the st. Petersburg col
leges were surrounded by two
thousand gems d'armes and Co.'S
sacks and two hundred arrests
made. The Cossacks used whips
and several students were injured.
The drawbridge over the Neva was
removed to prevent thousands of
students from crossing to the south
side. The lecture halls have been
closed. Fresh disturbances are ex-
pected. Meetings within the uni
versities, as well as outside, are for
hidden, and the police are ordered
to act with the universities If re-
quested by the Rectors. A procla-
nation is conspicuously posted for
bidding the carrying of arms in the
st. Petersburg district except by
authorization.

his labors here, succeeded in pro-

character. All the other newspa.
