What will Stanton Board 400 Teachers
one Month for?

This question, every one having room
in their house and willing to take one or
more boarders for month, will please
answer in a letter directed TO City School
Superintendent, W. A. Bowles, or County
School Supt. II. Shelley Boiler, through
the Stanton post office, as soon as they
have thought over the proposition. DR..
Curry, Agent of the Peabody Fund, has
determined to hold one of the two Peabody
Normal Institutes in Virginia this sum-
mer, in Staunton-that is providing proper
arrangements for board for the visiting
about 400 intelligent lady and gentlemen
teachers. Harrisonburg accommodated
them last summer at prices running from
$12 to SIS month. That town has only
about 1000 inhabitants, but it is live
town and found the accommodations
easily. We hope Staunton will do so as
easily. 1t is both desirable and important
to our city that the Normal Institute
should meet here, and We hope those who
are so situated as to take these boarders
at reasonable prices will do it. Ifyou can
take only two, very good, but if you can
take ten 1t is still better Don't let Staun-
ton lose the Institute-the balls for it's
meeting have already been secured. if the
citizens will only come promptly to time
about the places for Its boarding. The
Institute is to meet here-or elsewhere
about july 10Th.
