Onr teachers are comfortably quartered
here, about ten of them being at one
boarding house. Its gratifying to us to
know that they are always punctual at
the daily sessions Of the Institute. On
Monday Mr. May6eld stated that the
smorning sessions would begin at 9 o'clock
&c the teachers we're in place, but at $50
&c they were tatdy. We assured him

] sNonld undertake to say that they would
sbe on hand when the clock struck 8.
/ On remark caused ripple Of laughter
among the teachers from the other coun.
ties. We thought ne knew whereof we
spoke, and we did-our teachers did not
tail lus. When the clock struck 8 Tues.
day morning, every Anderson teacher in
Gfeenyille was in the hall ready for bus..
iress. That is more than can be said for
Che teachers Of any other County. Let
us say that ne were proud Of our teach
