The lecture course was excellent and
well pattonized by the people OF the town.
This gives excellent aid to the teachers as
Il reduces their expenses. This year the
County Superintendent did not charge any
initiation fee tc those taking tickets to the
lecture course. Each teacher received free
a 30-cent songbook. and a 10-cent Course
OF Study" and scent note book.
1t was "rhe best Institute ever held in /
the county" Prof. Inues says. ''It Is the |
best Institute 1 ever attended" Every |
teacher seemed to be In har.neny both with I
the instructors and with the County Super !
intendent.
Tie following resolutions, THAT our
worthy County Superintendent, Prof. J. w.
Leecb, for the able and mastery way In
which he has conducted the Institute for
the past two years. deserves especial praise,
and that we recognize In him a progressive
and efficient leader, whose first and highest
! interest is the welfare OF our public Schools"
was heartily spplauded.
Teachers wishing any or the supplies sold
at Institute will be supplied by sending to
the principal of the Ebensburg schools.
The display OF pupils work at the Insti-
tute last week was the best ever seen at any
| institute In this county.
/ There was work FROM Susquehanna town.
ship, Stonycreek township and Ebensburg.
Many coulu hardly believe that pupils
could get mp such nice work. The pupils
and teachers Of each OF these districts de-
serve great praise. but the greater part OF
the work was from the Ebensburg schools
which, under Prof. Allison and his able
corps of teachers have been doing sush ex-
cellent work this term.
Ebensburg has reason to feel proud OF
her schools.
Mrs. Sarah Hill, OF Walnut Grove. and
II. n. Price, OF Gsrman's Mills, deserve
special mention In this particular.
The boys and girls OF Ebensburg won
praise from every one for their excellent
conduct.
The ushsrs for the lectures performed
their work so well aud politely that there
| was not a complaint. This, considering the
size OF the audiences, Is quite q compliment.

The enrolIment reached 23s on Friday,
the highest ever had in the history OF Cam
bria county Institutes.
This results from q general good feeling
between the teachers and the County Super
intendent.
On the whole it was ths very best insti-
tute eyer held IN the county.
The schools OF Cambria have gone for

X. II. Bitter and T. B. Allison had on
hand a large stock OF teachers supplies and
;he patronage they received shows that the
1 teachers OF our county are awakening to the
call for better work and better results
The directors should furnish every school
under their control with q small library.
! The first thing to get In this line Is q Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary. Every teach
er ought to own one OF these most useful,
We should say. Indispensable aids.
