dubon, July 10Th, and end August Eth
with good prospect of a full attendance
and profitable term, and calls earnestly
for the faithful attendance of all teach
ers in the county, old and young who
can possibly make arrangement to i'm
prove this privilege. lie has secured
the efficient services of x-Superintend-
ent Frost and Miss Alice Hopper, of
Atlantic, whose services proved so eff
ticent last year, and also those Of Prof.
David L. Repass, principal of Extra
public schools which with his own ser
vices, will make strong corps of teach
ers. They are fully capable of conduct
ing an institute well worthy the con-
slant attendance of every teacher in
Audubon county. The work will be
exclusively didactic in its character
with examinations on the state ques-
tons, and the entire aim of the work
will be for the promotion OF the teach
er's interest in school work. The for
NAL announcement of the Institute of
1888 is now in THE REPUBLICAN press
ami will soon be in Prof. Willcutt's
hands for distribution. We hone to see
a still better institute than audubon
county has ever held.
