The state Normal.

State superintendent w. s. DOak
writes us as follows, with the re-
quest that our exchanges through
out the state will copy:
The State Normal Institute in the
University at Knoxville is fully or
ganized for the most complete and
thorough work. Several of the best
teachers in this and other states are
engaged for regular service, also a
number of able men for occasional
lectures. Professor Sedan, of st.
Louis, a gentleman of large expert
ence and national reputation as a
most successful Normal instructor,
will be present. Commissioner Eat
on has agreed to aid this work by
securing the services of some of the
most distinguished educators in
America for lectures. Such an OPP
portunity, in the shape of an Insti-
tute, has never before been offered
to the people of Tennessee, and it
may be many years before such can
be offered again. 1t is IA rare chance
for the teachers of Tennessee to Sc
cure for a very small outlay what
other states has cost hundreds of
dollars. 1t will be a good thing for
the state and for every public inter
est, if every teacher in the state,
and every County Superintendent
c;tn attend this Normal Institute.
The friends of education throughout
the Union will watch the effects of
this Institute on our State, and it is
most earnestly hoped thai, whatever
others may do, the teachers of Ten
nessee will not fail to improve this
extraordinary opportunity for BEN
efiting themselves and the whole
state
To encourage attendance upon
this Institute, it has been ordered
that all applicants for teachers GER
tificates shall be excused from COM
pulsory attendance at County Insti-
tutes. Satisfactory arrangements
with regard to certificates will be
made at the State Normal at Knox

Gen s. D. Lee, President A. s NJ. College
DEAR SIR-I would suggest that the
cclleye might illustrate the products of our
State through tie students and their friends
in the various counties, by having prepared
a series of questions with interspaces for
written answers. The interrogations to be
prepared by the several scientific Professors.
br Phares, for example, would cover the
subject of Botany, Including Grasses, annual
and perennial plants and trees cultivated
with their fruits, flowers and timber for
various purposes.
Prof. kedzie would include soils, stone
mari and minerals.
Prof Gulley might include all annual
plants cultivated for food for man or beast,
for clothing, for ornamental or manufactur
ing purposes at home or abroad.
Prot Eoudebush might address inquiries
as to aboriginees of country, their habits,
customs, religion, military and science, with
tribal descent and alliances.
Such system of questions except the last
should be accompanied by definite instruc
tions as to how and in what quantities
articles should be selected how prepared for
transmission end illustration The point
desired to be reached Is an illustration of
every part of Mississippi by the products of
the soil, natural and artificial, and the value
thereof determined by inspection and
analysis by printing 1000 carefully prepar
ell circulars, including all subjects in one
mail package, the foundation will be laid
for accomplishing the results desired, by
sending copies to all county officials with
request that they be handed tn parties
qualified to write them up.

cred by Cot w. H. Gibbs, which was very
happily responded to by Col. T. r. Stockdale.
The procession was then reformed, and was
witnessed and admired by large numbers

profound attention. Then followed the din
