Turner County Tcachers' Institute, at Par
ker Dakota; Oct. 19tI- to 24th.
The FIRST Semi-Annual Teachers In
stitute of Turner county, Oak, will be
held in the Court House Parker, com.
mencing October 10Th, at $3.50 a. IN. and
continuing in session until the follow
ing Friday night Prof. A. Wernli,
County Superintendent of Plymouth
county, Ia, will conduct the Institute
Prof. Wernli Is native Of Switzerland,
and was educated in the Normal Schools
OF that country; his lite work has been
the school work, and, for many years
past, has been employed by the state of
Iowa as State Conductor of Institutes.
In this our First Semi-Annual County
Institute. it has been my earnest desire
to secure the best talent to be had in
the northwest tor this work; and in OBJ
tanning the services of Prof. Wernll,
believe my desire to be fully sustained
Turner county once had the District
system, but after having adopted the
Township system (the latter prehaps
equally as good if properly eXecuted),
the result seems to have settled in II
stagnation in educational enterprises.
There must be grand overhauling and
stirring up of our latent powers to keep
pace with the times, in this our proud
and glorious old Turner county, whose
| prosperity in nearly every other matter
| in the few years has been so marked
| Has not the flag of education been hang
ing at half mast long enough? 1t is
high time that we hoiSted the fore-top
sail to the mast head, and not lie at the
moorings any longer. In some adjoin-
ing counties the ship is sailing on serene
| ly, and in those self same counties YOU
VIII find harmony, unison and go-a-
head-itiyeness, these forces forming the
| trinity necessary for the successful com
| pletion Of the work. May it soon be so
in old Turner.
Section "a, subdivision 2.of the school
law reads thus: "SchooI shall be adj

day for every days actual attendance
upon the institute us certified by the
conductor of the institute or county
superintendent"
Thus it is, every school must be closed
and it further requested that every
teacher out of school will attend also
school officers parents, guardians and
all interested in school work will be
