H. Adjournment.
All teachera and trustecs who cnn
are earnestly solicited to attend this
meeting. Don't offer an excuso and
stay away. The citizens of tho Bend
are especially invited, as tho themes to
be discussed arc of vital Importance to
every body and of great interest to tho
country. We have been having large
and attentive audiences wherever tho
meetings have been held, and free con-
CALCULATIONS from those present for SO
satisfactory entertainments. We M
dcrstand that there is to be nm election
in that district the same day on tho
question of levying a supplementary
school tax. If tho voters and citizens
will come out early, we will give them
an address on that subject especially.
Come every body. We are one of tho
citizehs of San Saba county, and have
a common interest with you, and want
an opportunity to cultivate your ac-
quaintance. Let us counsel together
| for our common good and success in
building up good schools and educating
our children. Success always depends
upon organization. Then let US organ
ize. Remember that two or three or
cyon a half dozen teachers can not ac-
complish much, Remember also that
the success of a teacher depends in
| large measure on the interest he takes
10 his profession. Lot the people of
country como out and SEQ for them
selves what the teachers arc doing.
Wherever you find teacher who at
tends regularly upon the meetings of
tho Institute you will hnd the most
wide-awake and tiourishing schools,
and invariably his patrons are pleased
with him aud he is a success, hie school
will grade higher in regular attendance,
for live teacher makes II live patron
age. Like begets like, and where the
patrons visit the school regularly and
frequently you will find good school
and live, good teacher, or he will
be soon compelled to become an itin
Grant pedagogue, looking for a location
bnt finding none of profit anywhere.
If the parents take no interest in tho
school, but show n want OF apprecia-
ton one session at your place is all
he will caro- for, and If that session Is
short he will be the better pleased.
Let both teachers and parents do their
