State Superintendent Hoitt Visits the Naps
and Placer County Institutes.
State Superintendent Hoitt has returned
from attendance or the Maps and Placer
County Teachers Institutes, in company
with Dr.. a E. Winship, one of the fore
most educational men of Massachusetts,,
the editor of two educational journals and
most popular lecturer. To a REcoRD-
UNION reporter Superintendent Hoitt yes
terday said:
The Naga Institute was a grand success.
DR.. Winship's good work there attracted
| crowds OF the general public, in addition TO
| the full corps Of teachers (seyenty- -fve)
who attended regularly The press Of the
city paid glowing tributes to Dr.. Winship's
talents. Superintendent Husgey scored q
! grand success for The institute OF 1889, and
! am sure his schools viii reap great benefit
| from II. His teachers are especially bright
and progressive, and ready to sdoDt such
advice and suggestions as DR.. Wiuship and
| myself found ii in our way TO give. 4
public reception was rendered US at the close
of the session, which was most delightful.
The Napa people have lately built q $1,000
addition to their school house,
Have you been anywhere else with the
doctor?"
Yes we left Sunday evening for Au-
| burn, Placer county, arriving there in time
for the opening Of the institute. Superin-
tendent Burns had done q great deal of pre-
| liminary work in arranging his pro-
gramme, and We found the citizens
almost as much interested as the
| teachers. Indeed, there were editors,
| doctors, lawyers and ministers present
at nearly every session. DR.. Wi1ship's
work was as highly appreciated here as
elsewhere. and he was as much pleased
with the appearance of the teachers-their
! life and energy and professional spirit-aS
they were with his seniality, his theories
and his addresses. One-half the teachers
in Placer county have had profesS Sional
training, and the work done shows results
that prove this selection of teachers % have
been wise. In the two days spent there
DR.. Winship delivered four addresses aud
| two evening lectures, and did little talk
| ing myself.
"a public reception was rendered US and
| an impromptu Placer county exhibit 1t
| was arranged to show the docto- what were
| the agricultural resources of the county.
| The speech of welcome was made by W.
| B. Lardner, ex District Attorney, IN which
| he called the doctor attention most happily
| to the varied products there displayed, and
! gave him lesson in local geography that
the doctor will pass along to thousands Of bis
hearers and readers this winter. Other
short and pithy addresses were made by
| Assemblyman John Davis, 0. F. Sesvey,
| editor of the Herald, H H r edmond. of
| the argus, Rev. DR.. Chisholm ard Superin-
| tendent Burns. The doctor and rlyseli re-
| piled as well as we were able TO all this
| hospitality and cheer, and the evening
closed with refreshments and socisbiiiiy"
"Are you off again, to-day?"
"Yes; we go 10 Colusa county, and then,
DR.. Winship returns East Immediately, as
! his lecture engagements are imperative
