Editor OF the Register.
Allow me, through your columns, to
remind the teachers Of our common
schools that in the months OF July and
August a teachers institute ot one week
will he held in every county OF the State,
Tree of expense to the teachers, Tor IN
structiou. The object Of these institutes
is To- afford the teachers u practical ami
efficient means for their improvements
the art Of teaching. Each county has
been consulted, through the Suporm.
tendent, as Ia the place and time OF
holding its institute, aud also rs tn the
preference Oi the teachers with reference
10 IN Instructor. As far a. practicable
the wishes uf tho teachers IN this IT.
speet have been regarded. The best
Instructors that could be procured 10y
the mea provided Tor their compen-
sation have been employed, and a pro-
gramme, practical and adapted to the
wants of our teachers, and prepared
after consultation with our best teachers
will he furnished for the general guild
ance OF the exercises.
Experienoo both IN our " aud IN
other States has abundantly proved the
great advantages which result from thcS
Institutes. They convey In the teaches
fuller knowledge Of the subjects whih
hc is required Ia teach; familiar eNen-
plnication OF the best methods of orgal-
King, managing and teaching q school;
important suggestions as 70 the meSns
by which increase Of attendance and the
Abatement Ola liylier interest in school
work may be ELECTED; and secure to the
teachers a confidence and respect With
the Board III Education, which will IN
prove their standing aud increase their
compensation Ii Is earnestly hoDed,
therefore, that no teacher viii neglect
this generous provision Tor his I'M
prOvement-but that all will give earn
cot and studi0us attendance aud aten-
ton to their instruction. We trust that
no teacher will be 81 Indifferent as to
his professional reputation as to e
leCt this opportunity Tor his pro-
~icsSional advancement, and that
oUr institute registers will show a
larger enrolment than ever beiore.
Besides the County Institutes already
referred to, We are authorized TO mold, at
the expense OF the Peabody Fund
several (thrce or fourl district Institutes
ola higher grade and To be conducted by
instructors OF distinction from abroad,
The design nj these institutions is 30 ex-
cite a higher interest and q more gener.
Gus emulation in all school work by
bringing before u teachers the e xample
and methods adopted IN other States,
and as presented in the instructions OF
their eminent institute workers The
times and places Of holding these has
not been decided upon, but will be an,
nOuneed in due season.
