NORMAL INSTITUTE.

[Reported for the GRAPHIC by Mrs. j. S. White.l
The Institute has increased in num-
bers and interest. While Mitchell
enrolled but 80, Kimball has so mem.
bers. We have many visitors. "Long
ago" teachers visit us and their hearts
grow young again in the genial at
mosphere of the Institute. Rev. Hub
bard's lecture Wednesday evening of
last week was very interesting to the
thoughtful teacher. Friday, the sub
ject Of the lecture, combined in him
self the broad investigating mind of
the scientist and the humble, loving
dependence of the christian. The
more he knew the more he recognized
God as the "E1irst Great Cause"
knowledge created confidence not
doubt. He found the true "Philoso-
piers stone" The earnest christian
teacher goes to lus work doubly
armed. Friday afternoon we enjoyed
Our Query Box" the most practical
question being GLOW shall we pre-
vent whispering" Saturday was
again "review day." Monday Prof.
Bond, of Chamberlain, gave rs a
good talk. Miss c. A.. Smith took
charge of the spelling and reading, as
Miss Sisson was obliged to leave.
Miss Sissen leaves many friends who
miss her. Tuesday, we, as good chill,
dren should, had our pictures taken
Tuesday and Wednesday were mainly
spent III discussion of best methods tc
teach the different branches IN oul
country schools. Thursday and Fri
day will ae devoted to examination
of teachers and then we say farewell
to each other and to our pleasant
faithful Conductor who has striver
SO earnestly to raise the grade of oul
common schools in Brlle Co. The
seed sown in each heart and mint
during these three weeks will beal
fruit, ann we can say from our hearts
God bless the faithful teacher ant
give him success in his noble calling
