ssOne of the brightest ard most sugges-
tive Institute instructors in the work this
season is Miss Leila L. Partridge, of Phila-
delrhia. Her versatility renders her a very
valuable addition TO the working force Of
Institute week, being ready at call for good
platform talks on any one of a half-dozen
practical topics, fo- reading or recitation
when interest flags in the Ordinary pro-
gramle or for lecture or two in the even
ing. if such be desired. Few available ln-
struc:ors can do work equally good in so
many directions, and we know of none who
are able to do il more acceptably than MISS
Partridge. As Co. Supt. b. T. Shaub has

SON. OF her Lecture, awe Girls re-
Gently delivered before the Lancaster Coun-
" Institute, one of the most discriminating
critics of our acquaintance, says in the local
press Miss Patridge's subject was the
eduaticn of girls, which she justly regards
as superficial. calculated only 10 render
them helpless when they come to encounter
rhe realities Of life. and consequently cruel
deception. Ii Is one Of the most useful ad-
dresses We have ever heard on such an oc-
casion. and we are fully convinced that
County Superintendsnts cannot do better
than 10 secure Miss Patridge's services.
We will only add that her manner Is 50
pleasing as to render the thought accept
able, even to people fastidious in such mat
tiers. Pennsylvania School Journal
