ssEditor Democratic Reriew:
DEAR SIR:-I feel that as an en-
terprising editor you DO not wish
to be 'sbehind the. tlmes,' by a
failure to have in your paper some
account of the .'grand occasion.'
that we have just had at Atlanta.
| shall cndeavor then { can con-
troll my pen, to give you q short
account of the Teachers 1nsti-
tutes" held here; but am so full
of the subject you must excuse me
If my pen gets to .euinaesup--e Ga
pcrs," and runs beyound thellmlts
of a newspaper article.
By way of introduction to such
an account as am about to give,
If Is sometimes related how the
sun rose, on that particular day,
and how nature fixed herself up
IN her best style for "the occasion.
Now l will have your imagination
to supply such an introduction,
and simply state that onthe morn
Of the 3rd. of May, the sun rose
as usuaI,-ln the East.-and pass
ed over head rs serenely as If there
was .snothing new under the sum-
going on in Atlanta, and Nature
wasn't fixed up a bit. but came out
| in her "every day clothes.
Now | don't believe that the sun
or Nature either knew anything
labout it, but everybody else found
Lit out, and was on hand early Mon.
day morning in Atlauta to find out
| what was gong on. Now l have
known of people who did not know
before hand of such things, ane
some may wonder how everybody
found it out in time to put OF
their Sunday clothes. Well
must tell you. You see they hae
all been-told dtos.t At.
1 The editor out herein Wlnnhelt
who Is always hunting up seme
l,kikg new, heard of it and told tn
people about it, and when tn
School board heard it was abou
education they told the people abou
it, and when the Board Of polio
thought it would make the peopl
better citizens, they told them abou
Il it. and the preacher he thought !
was a good thing and he told tn
lpeople about it, and they got I
talking about 1t in the sanda
School, and the Teacher when d
heard that it was the Teachers In
. stitutes that was coming. an
7eacher's was In the Possessier cas-
he thought it would be al lis If
:. came here, so he got anxious {
bout II and told all of the childre
sbout il and it just spread sll ov'
the whole country.
The people then after eyeryoo'
had told them about it got togeth
and feed for it, and we were
locking for it and it would ha'
been impossible for the .ins'
ltutcs'' TO have passed Allan
without being found oat. SO tn
is the way the people came to nj
1t all out.
Now / know that just here sol
of voor readers may wonder "
we do not come to the point.
such we would say that we are
ready on one Of the points
u wanted to get on, and if We cs
have our say on this point,
wall drop the pen. and do as Pr
so Waterbury does, when he 9
..nerrous, ''-eau for music.
The point is this, >if we W
90 these Institutes to be succ
throughout our State, we must
-olf form the people of them, tnro'
oO the varied channels of intelllger
official and otherwise; and that
professions, trades and caliii
should appreciate the advanfa
of such educational enterRri
and that the people ut large she
prepare for them, as we did az
iart. and that the Teachers she
