The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-08-27
Esreb.e County Teachers Ensti-

Thirty-nine teachers were present at 10
O'Clock Monday morning when Pres. Denote
took his seat. In the afternoon the number
swelled to about LII. 1t has been the custom
heretofore for the instructors to begin in the
afternoon, but this time work was begun i'm
mediately. The attendance during the week
averaged daily 140, and LIS enrolled during
the week. Such an attendance has never
been known before. Supts. Manley and Cor
son gave the teachers, as was acceded by all,
the best and most practical lessons ever given
here before. Miss Illusions efforts were well
received also, but she being i'll the last of the
week, we probably lost her best efforts.
On Friday afternoon the teachers were treat
ed to "Darius Green" and his "fying ma
chine" by Prof. Ridge, of Cincinnati, in his
with his usual budget of fun. Bro. S. More
Surface, Mr.. Cole and Prof. Pollok made a
fair looking trio, remarkable for its obesity.
All in all the Institute has been a success
The teachers were well pleased with the sew
eral selections of music during the session.
The following resolutions, adopted by the
Institute, show to whom we are indebted fer
this:
To the Teachers and Members of tile Pre6e
County Institute:
We, your Committee on resolutions respect
fully submit the following:
Resolred, LIST. That the present session of
the Preble County Institute has been a deci-
ded success, and that the same is due largely
to the zeal and earnestness of the Executive
Committee in providing good programs
throughout the past year for the Teachers
Associations, and in their excellent choice of
Instructors for the present occasion.
I'd. That the teachers o Preble county most
heartily appreciate the instruction given by
Profs. Manley and Corson, who, by their prac-
teal work have given a new stimulus TO the
! cause of education in this county. And also
/ that the efforts of Miss Huston have been well
received and fully appreciated.
Bird. That all other instructors have acquit-
ted themselves in a manner which clearly in
dicates their earnestness in the teachers
work.
4th. That the thanks of the Institute are
due the musicians who have SO kindly enter
tanned the teachers with choice selections of
music.
5th. That our worthy President, by his ex-
%ecutive ability and interest in education, has
commended himself anew to the favor of the
teachers.
9th. That the cause of education in Preble
county is steadily progressing, and that the
work of the teacher is ever pointing toward a
higher standard of excellence. Therefore, it
behooves every teacher who would not be a
laggard in the race, to be present at every
session, when teachers convene to discuss the
topics which pertain to their individual work.
