A TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Some Points of Interest in the One Held
If Marcrnss PORTRAYED.

Correspondence Of the Morning NeUs.
WAYCROSs. August 24.-As a matter
Of interest to some of your readers, you
may not object to a few words in relation
to the Teachers Institute whose sessions
have been held in this iOurishing little
town for the past four weeks. 1t will be
remembered that you published the fact
that Messrs. W. Fl. Baker and John VI.
Cannon, Of your city, had been appointed
TO conduct the exercises Of this institute.
On the first day of August these gentle
men We're promptly at their posts. Owing
to a want of information on the part Of
the teachers Of this and the adjoining
counties. the institute was not organized
until the 9Th inst. From that date, the
number steadily increased, until at the
close of the session to-day the enrolment
had exceeded twenty-five.
The object of this institute was to pre-
pare the teachers for their responsible du-
ties. At first sight it might seem unnec-
esSary to have such schools, as all teach
ers are supposed 10 be competent for their
work. few visits, however, to the
schools in the country districts VIII soon
dlssipate all such impressions. 1t IS sad
fact that a majority Of those who under
take to teach school are utterly incOmpe-
ly on this account that the profession is
held in disrepute. Then again, in not
few instances. where there Is the requi-
site scholarship. there is lacking knOwl-
edge Of the best methods Of teaching. 1t
IS to meet this latter want that these in
stitutes have been established in different
portions Of our State. The instructors Sc
lected are presumed to be experts who,
by study and long practice, are prepared
10 give instruction in the art and science
of teaching. | am sure the session at
WaycrOss has been a profitable one, and
those who have been in attendance, will,
in future, do more intelligent work. The
term closed to-day with a lecture by Mr..
Baker, on school organization, and one by
Mr.. Cannon, on school discipline.
DR.. Orr the indetatigable State School
Commissioner. was present during the
session and instructed his subOrdnates,
the County Commissioners, in their du-
ties. The expenses of these institutes
are paid from the Peabody fund through
the influence OF DR.. Orr. The trustees of
this fund could not spend their money
more wisely than in multiplying these
schools in the South. So long as the in
structOrs OF our children are ignorant, it
is in vain to expect any progress in the
education of the country. In the absence
of regularly established normal institu-
tons, teachers institutes are the only
means of reaching this great want.
Nessrs. Baker and Cannon have done
good work in WaycrOss, and they will be
long remembered by all who enjoyed the
benefits Of their instruction.

r,o,,.,--one Thousand Six Hundred
Tons Received At This Port Annually
Home Consumption and shipment to
Interior Towns.
A reporter visited the various ice houses
Yesterday. in order to ascertain the growth
ofthe ice trade in Savannah. beside endeav-
oring to furnish a cool item for the nu-
merOus readers Of the MORNING NEWS.
During the past ten years the ice bust
ness has grown into large pro
portions. and to-day bears
very important part in the commerce Of
our city. In fact, ice has become a ne
cessitY, not only in our large cities, out
all through the interior towns Of the state.
1t is the poor mans relief, and the rich
mans blessing. The sight Of it during
the heated term is refreshing.
Fat men. infatuate. fan the stagnant air
In rash essay. 70 cool their inward glowing
While with each stroke. in dol0rous despair
They feel the fever growing.
IT'S dreadful. dreadful hot.' exclaims each
Unto his sweating. sweltering, roasting
neighbOr-
Then m6ps his brow. and signs. a. he had
A quite hercuIean labor
Twenty years ago there was but little
ice consumed in comparison TO what Is
consumed now. Macon was the only
place outside Of Savannah that ordered it,
and then only ton was called for once
a week. To-day from eighty to one hun
bred tons leave the CRY daily for the yari-
Gus places throughout the State. over
thirty-siX cargoes Of ice are received at
this port yearly by Messrs. Hayward,
Gage q Company and the knickerbOcker
Ice Company. These cargOes average
800 tons each. or q. 800 tons for both deal
ers. In every ron Of ice there are 1000
pints Of water, consequently there would
be a bulk Of water for the thirty
six cargOes amounting TO 100000
gallons of water brought to
Savannah in CONCEALED
state, and which is consumed and used by
our people and the surrounding commune
". The greater portion Of the Ice re-
ceiYed in Savannah comes from the Ken
nebec river. Maine. where il is obtained
perfectly free from all sediment and lnl-
purities. There is no sewerage within
hundreds Of miles from where it Is OBJ
tanned. consequently the water Is very
pure. The delivery Of ice in the city per
day runs up to nearly - tons, making
10000 pints. $1,000 quarts. or 10000 gal
Ions of water supplied TO our people daily
in the shape Of ice blocks.
The shipments 10 interior towns IN this
State and TO Florida and Alabama
amount to 100 tons Of ice daily, or on an
average Of ., 900 gallons Of water. There
arc employed in the business at least
twenty teams or delivery wagons, sixty
eight hands and number Of boys TO keep
a correct number OF pounds leaving the
ice houses by each wagon, The expense
incurred i'm handling the ice is nearly $3.50
per day. The leakage is very great
and the cost considerable for repairs and
breakage.
