The Institute IL being held in the N
Il. church. There are about sixty. fy

R"v, Mr.. Stone in reply thanked the
Association for the hon.r it had done
him. He didn't look at it as being an
empty one by any means. He had al
ways felt kindly towards the ipstitnt,.
and every time he entered it and saw
shr same young smiling faces around,
ms teeling somehow increased. The pro.
esslon OF teacher lie thought was one
u the most ennonling Of all professions.
When girl enters it she not only con
ers good upon her pupils, but prepares
ler to more fittingly enter another
ranch OF business. Laughter He

md cautioned the teachers to be true
o their trnst.
Prof. Reynolds alluded to the trials
nd lardships that come to the 10, ofI
he profession. 1t was one constant
'attle. The trust, he thought. that
vas placed upon them was one of great
Moment. Upon the result of their
eaching must rest, in measure, tn.
iter life of the pupil. He had been I
"enty-six years as a teacher and had
y this experience acquired considera |
lie capital--not capital of wealth but ,
capital OF that which goes to make up
man. This ca pital he was willing to $
~ at the feet Of the institution. to be t
sed i'll any direction which would lead a
l any way to the benefit of the teacher /
+ pupil. \
Superintendent Groves in the name i
the lnstitut" returned thanks to the t
rotessor for his proflcred aid. b
Rev. Mr.. Thompson said that he was n
leased to greet the Association, and il

snps. Groves stated that upon re- b
ewing the list he found, upon this. t,
