TOachory Institute.
The fact that two institute instructors
who have never before worked In our
county will be with us next week may
perhaps justify a word or two BY way Of
introduction.
DR.. William Richardson, now Assist
ant superintendent Of the public schools
Of Cleveland, O., is a Connecticut man,
Z graduate Of Darmouth College. After
teaching in the east and further west,
he was for seven year superintendent Of
the schools Of Piqua, O., then for four
years was President Of the Ohio Wes-
leyan Female College at Delaware, o.
He was then for seven years superinten-
dent of the Chillicothe schools In our
adjoining county Of Ross then for four
years had the supervision of the public
schools of Sedalia, Missouri, just prior to
his call to Cleveland. DR.. Richardson
has life State certificates from two or
three States, and received the degree Of
Phi. d. from the University Of Wooster.
He has Alison given great assistance and
inspiration to teachers and pupils, and
all who meet him feel that they know
gentleman whose kindness of heart it
is pleasure to recall.
Mrs. Della Lathrop Williams is native
of New York State, was for years princi-
pal OF the Cincinnati Normal School,
and has long deservedly occupied a
prominent position in the Ohio State
Teachers Association. She was married
to Prof. w. G. Williams, IL. D., profess
sor of Greek, almost since its foundation,
in tho Ohio Wesleyan University at
Delaware, O., where Mrs. Williams has
since been connected with the normal
department OF the university, She is
President of the Ohio Teachers Reading
Circle and has always been an inspira-
ton to better, higher, nobler work among
the children and teachers of the State.
OF Lewis McKibben, though he has
resided in Springfield, O., it is not nee
essary to speak to the teachers Of High
land county where he has been SO long
and favorably known as teacher and
citizen. His extensive experience in the
old academy, in private and public
schools, in the Highland Institute, as
superintendent of the Hillsboro Public
Schools, as principal Of the high school,
as examiner of teachers and institute
instructor is we'll known to the people
of Hillsboro and the teachers of this
county.
May we not rightfully expect that,
with such instructors, our institute will
richly repay the many who will be
drawn together to hear and learn, and
that healthful, progressive and ennobling
influences will thence 20 forth to all the
school of our community We sincere.
ly trust and verify believe this will be 80.
A full attendance of all teachers Of
the county is earnestly requested at the
coming meeting of the Highland County
Teachers Institute, to be held in the
City Hall of Hillsboro August 18th to
