During this week the public Schools have
been closed the teachers having been in at
tendance at Teachers Institute held IN
Frederick City.
We have heard the practicability Of this
thing questioned and we are ready to decide
that question in our mind.
We find farmers meeting in Oranges, doc
tors in councils, preachers in convent ons
and synods, and on to the end of the list OF
professors, trades and occupations and We
must certainly commend the method where
by the teachers of our public school shall by
contact, comparison and intelligent discus
sion improve themselves as profession by
each giving to the other the benefit of that
which by honest snd persistent study of his
duty and privilege, he has determined upon
as being ofsup,rIor advantage in the school
room.
We believe that many will return from the
Institute with Nh elevated and more practi-
cal view of the responsible position held
and that the time lost to the schools will be
more than repaid by the advantages which
will accrue from the interchange of thought
between our teachers.

We take the following account OF Mr.. jim
Smiths New Hotel Opening at Woodsboro
on October Goth from the Maryland Union ::
WooDsBoRo's NEW HoTEL.-"Ourr readers
will remember that some months since the
old Union building, Woodsboro, was destroy
ed by fire, together with nearly all lis con-
tents. As soon after the fire rs practicable
Mr.. Smith began preparation for rebuilding,
and two weeks ago rcopened one of the fin
est and most thoroughly equipped hostelries
in western Maryland.
The new hotel stands on the site Of the
old one, and is substantially constructed
threestory brick building, with frontage of
800 feet, and 80 feet deep, with wing. The
building contains thirty-two large airy
rooms, all finished in hard woods. On the
first floor the height Of ceiling is II feet, the
floor is divided Ivy Il wide hallway, with stair
case, on the north side Of which IS parlor
and large dining room, cloak room, billiard
room and bar. On the second floor is anoth-
err parlor, with number Of private rooms
The third floor contains nothing but bed
chambers and n private pool room. The glass
throughout the house is plate. The floors,
Railways and rooms are all covered with
Brussels carpet, and while the reading and
billiard rooms have cocoa ma'tings on their
floors. The furniture in the parlors is of
walnut upholstered in silk and fine hair,
while the bed room suits are of walnut, ash
and oak The entire house is heated by a
furnace. The contractor was Vim. Crom-
well, of W,.lkersville, and VIM. James, of
Frederick, did the mason work of the build
ing. Charles E. Mobcrly,sof Frederick, did
the painting; r. Barns, Of Mt. Airy, furnish
ed the furnit IRE, carpets, window blinds, w.,
and Arthur Bellman, Of Hagerstown, the
heating apparatus.
The opening of the new house was very
pleasant affair, and was attended by fully
five hundred people. The day was very in
clement winch doubtless prevented much
larger crowd from being resent. The Fred
erick Cornet Band furnished music during
the day A sumptuous diaper was spread
about noon, and the bill OF fare embraced
everything in season. At night ball was
given, which WIS attended Ivy over hun
dred persons, many being 7from Frederick,
and for whom a special train was run. There
were many prominent citizens from different
portions of the county there, and Frederick
city was largely represented. Through the
enterprise of Mr.. Smith, Woodsboro to-day
can boast of the best equipped, and most
conveniently arranged hotel in the county,
and its proprietor will no doubt receive chat
generous support he so richly deserves"
