TeacherS' Institute OF Saline County.
The Institute is drawing near the
close of its third week, and we con-
graduate our worthy Superintendent
and his able assistants on the satisfac.
tory manner IN which they have con-
Quoted it. The teachers in attendance
are highly gratified with the course pur-
sued, and the instructors express them
selves as we'll pleased with the pro-
gress made.
MISS s. J Travis, of Newberg, n. T.,
arrived last week and took charge of
her classes in Elocution OH Monday.
Miss Travis is we'll known in the west
% teacher of sterling worth and great
ability, and it IS unfortunate that every
teacher in Saline county cannot be
placed under her tuition for the remain
der of the institute session.
Quite q ripple of excitement disturb
ed the "a" grade members last Friday
by the proposition to substitute new
study in tho place of Geology and I'm.
tomoIogy; but Prof. Fitzpatrick and
Miss Phillips had made those studies OF
90 much interest that tho teachers were
10th to give them up, and so on Monday
they we're gratifed to learn that those
studies would be continued.
The lecture by Miss Mary p. Wright,
delivered last Friday evening at the
Methodist church before the Teachers
Institute. was an able and comprehen.
sive effort, and was listened TO by a
large and sppreciative audience. The
style In which the subject, "Walter
Scott and his Poems" was treated,
showed that the lady was perfectly o,
homo with the writings OF tho great
Scottish bard, and that she was in full
sympathy with the noble author OF
Waverly. The music was furnished by
the institute choir, led by Prof. Aldrin.
The next lecture of the course will be
delivered on Friday evening at the
Christian church by Miss s. j. Travis
Subject, "Vocal Culture" We predict
that large audience will be present
Be on hand promptly at quarter to
eight. Let verybody come, and bring
"his sister and his cousins and his
friends sister.
