Congregational Church on Popular Edu-
cation" Last evening Prof. G. W. Smith,
Co. Supt of Schools for Hennepin Co..
delivered an interesting and instructive,
lecture which was we'll received.
OF the Institute, we will say tits simply
school for teachers, the object being to in
by experience, of conveying to their pupils
in the clearest and most direct manner, the
meaning and object of their studies or, in
other words, iustructing them how to
teach the various branches as taught in our
public schools in the best manner and with
the best results. The exercises are very
interesting, and as the instructors, Mr.. &.
w. Smith and Mrs A. Sandersou, are able,
competent and experienced, those in at
tendance cannot fail TO receive much ben
eft from the course of lectures.
Those of our citizens who manifest an
interest in educational matters, are COZ
daily invited to attend and will always be
welcome. The ladies of our village are
especially invited to be present, and if so
disposed can bring their sewing or other
work, as their presence will not interfere
in any way, but, ON the contrary, will
create greater interest
The following is a list of those in at
tendance:
