fefSon County Teachers.

~ '''D CNdSttO LCWCICTS.
The teachers of Dodge and Jefferson
counties met in Joint Institute in Musi,
Hall in this city, on Monday at 100 P
NJ. The object of this institute is not fo1
an examination of the attending mem
bers, but IS a kind of Normal School fol
| the time being. The conductors take up
the discussion of such studies that the
majority OF the teachers will probably
teach, and such other subjects as pertain
the profession Of teaching. But the
subjects discussed contain much that will
prove interesting to people not engaged
in the work Of teaching, and the teachers
will be pleased to have the people of
WATERFOWL to visit the institute at any
time which suits their convenience. At
1:30 P. NJ on Monday about one hundred
teachers from Dodge and Jefferson colln-
ties assembled in a Joint Institute in
Music Hall in this city. This institute
is held under the direction of Superinten-
dents Flavin, Collier and G.. F. Ninman,
and conducted by Professors G. F. Vie
bahn,Eof Manitowoc, and A. O. Wright,
of Fox Lake 1t had been thought that
a joint institute would hardly prove a
success, but the assembling of 50 many
teachers on the first halliday, dispelIed
any forebodings which many have trou-
bled the minds of the originators of the
idea. There is now q prospect of there
being somewhere between one hundred
and fifty to one hundred and seventy-fve
teachers present during the session.
The institute was opened by music led by
Sup't Ninman, after which Prof Viebahn
commenced the exercises Of the afternoon
with pointed and sensible talk upon the
theory and practice of teaching prepare
tory to opening the subject Of Mathemat-
ical geography. Then the organiza-
ton Of the institute was commenced by
proceeding to an enrolment of the men,
bers present. When this had been &C
complished, Prof. Wright opened the
subject of history with an interesting and
instructive talk upon the causes of his
tory. Prof. Wright designs to present
but one epoch Of U. S. history this week,
that Of the Revolutionary War Prof.
Viebahn then gave two short exercises
In Arithmetic and word analysis, at the
same time directing the teachers to be
prepared to recite upon these subjects
Tuesday. Prof Wright, who is the au-
thor of the Analysis of the Constitution
Of Wisconsin also directed the institute
to prepare themselves upon the subject
Of suffrage in this state. After singing,
the institute adjourned.

bled in full force, with many new faces
