BARTLETT, TENN, June pa series OF
Teachers' Institutes in Shelby county are
being held by Mrs.. Horton, county superir-
terdent, for the benefit Of teachers in the
public schools. The fret was he'd at Kerr
vile, tho second closed here to-day, and the
third will begin al Colierville on Monday,
the 25th instant. After three days spent in
a review of the branches taught, an exam.
inalion lasting two days ia conducted in
writing, with view to the granting OF Ger.
ufcates. II any expect to get certificates on
a private examination it seems they will be
mistaken, for the requirements of the Law,
aud the orders of the State Superintendent
are being, and will oe strictly complied with
by Mrs. Horton. These forbid private
examinations, and therefore attendance
upon the Institutes is necessity
as we'll as duty by these who
expect TO teach. The work here has
been unusually thorough and beneficial.
Those teachers who have been idle and have
not kept themselves posted, have occasion
for regret by this time; thoss who are keep
ing up with the times in their profession will
feel rewarded. Good schools can only be
made by good teachers, aud il is TO be hoped
we shall have none other. If the efforts OF
the present superintendent are sustained by
the people, this will certainly be the case.
Mrs. Horton ia certainly imbued with zeal
GUS interest in the welfare of our schools. 1t
has been my fortune to watch closely the
modes OF conducting business by various
county suPerintendents, and L have seen none
in this State who managed better for the in
terests OF both teachers and schools than she
is now doing, in scrupulous discharge of
duty. C.RB.
