Next to the normal school the
teachers institute is the chief
agency in elevating the teachers
calling and promoting the efficiency
of the public schools. Bringing to-
gether for a month the teachers of a
county has in more than one in
stance been the means of elevating
the condition of the majority of the
schools to the standard of the best
school In the county, for the simple
reason that the best teachers were
present and gave the inexperienced
the benefit of their experience and
methods. The professional cranks
and hobby-riders who are fond of
consuming good deal of the time
devoted to these useful gatherings.
to little purpose, should be gently,
but very firmly, invited to embark
In some other business. The exer-
cises should be of a practical nature
and devoted largely to illustrations
by the best teachers of the methods
by which they have been successful
in their own schools.

The question of county uniformity
of text books has been discussed
for the past two or three years and
1t is almost universally conceded by
teachers and those who investigated
the matter thoroughly, that either
county or State uniformity of text
books is desirable and very necessary.
Our State Legislature acted for the
best interests of the State when it
enacted law giving the various
counties of the State the privilege
of settling this question of text
books at the annual school meeting
in August. That the voter may
cast his vote intelligently on this
question, he must investigate the
two sides of the question, viz:
The cost and result of county uni
formity under the law, and the cost
and consequences if county uniform
ity is not adopted.
