Teachers Institute.

The 32nd Annual Session of the
Snyder County Teachers Institute
will be held in the Court House.
Dec. 90.
No efforts have been spared to
make this session one Of the best
ever held. Teachers, directors, citi-
zens-everybody should vie with
each other in contributing to the
success of this important factor in
the educational work of the county.
The county Institute is no longer an
experiment. 1t has been made most
efficient in the diffusion of general
knowledge, in broadening the con
ception of schools and all that per
tains to them, in strengthening
teachers in skill and ability to teach,
and in arousing that energy and en-
thusiasm which is the handspring
i'll the progress and advancement of
every age.
While we are drifting tono revo-
luton in school work, yet there ought
to be that steady growth commen.
surate with the conditionsof growth
Pomp and parade, hurry and furry
are not synonymous with sustained.
unwavering application to duty.
All great departments of work re-
quire leaders, but after all the sue
cess of any undertaking is in pro.
portion to the amount of interest
and energy of every individual. The
work accomplished in the common
schools, depends very largely on
public sentiment, and the Institute
is one means by which public senti-
ment can be aroused in obtaining
the very best results possible from
our schools. To this end we invite
oil to attend the sessions of the In
stitute. The following is the corps
OF instructors.

be hoped that this feature of the In

Will be most eminently successful
There should be that free nm

promotion of the common good
No one can measure the entire field
OF thought. We are rs truly de-
pendent one upon the other in the
world OF lntilect rs in the world of
commerce. We must profit by the
experience of others and no one can
expect to grow who hermit-like emf q
himself off from the past and he
comes insensible to the progress of
the present. Mind sharpenth mind" "
and because of the value of this CON
troll of mind with mind, the follow
