THE institute last week was one Of
vast benefit to the teachers Of the
counties Of Union, Clay and Yank-
ton. BY a glance at the proceedings
published elsewhere, you will see
that the attendance was very fair,
far in excess of what was anticipa-
ted by those who planned the session
and aided it by their presence. As
we said last week, the teachers in at
tendance were intelligent looking
young me and women, who look as
if they could govern and instruct q
school. Gen. Bcadle informs lis chat
the teachers worked. They all took
notes of the proceedings, and viii use
them to advantage in their schoo'
rooms in the future. OF course there
We're some present who have neyel
had other than the advantages Offered
in the private schools Of the Terri
tory, and many of these teacher
possess only what education they go
by hard knocks. Many Of then
have also been wrongly taught b,
laundering instructors, rnd the inst
tute beyond a doubt shook up thei
ideas and placed them in a position
where they can advance and improv
, if they try. The course of instruc
ton at the institute was very thoI
/ ough, and good alone viii be the ger
eral result. 1t is necessary for teach
ers to hault sometimes and see ho'
they stand; whether they are benin

! have gone. Institutes place thel
y right. To the teachers of Unto
county, we would urge the ~ncccssit
