did not order grand dress suit, but started

TIM NORMAL INSTITUTE.
The Second Week Opens with a Good
AttendanCe-PrOf McElrOy's
Address.

a few more teachers registered al
the institute, now being held at the
East Salem school building, this
morning, which swelled the list tC
more than seventy teachers. Al
nine O'Clock Prof. McElroy met the
teachers and gave them a very
interesting address. The principal
part of his talk was suggestions and
advice to teachers, with brief out
line of the benefit of a normal insti.
tute. Among other things he said:
"This work is the outgrowth OF
advanced legislation of the legis
lature four years ago. Until that
time we had only heard of such
institutes east of the Rockies. Much
of the success of the institute and the
benefit of your being here is due to
the superintendent, and to the
interest manifested by you teachers.
We trust the interest of the public
schools will keep pace with the
progress of the country"
ave are sorry to say that there are
some teachers who will yet fold their
hands and submit 10 every demagog-
uery to avoid the work of eXamina-
lions, aud do not take any interest
in your normals. | have only re.
Gently received letters from other
counties, from teachers who are try
ing to avoid the examination of their
uperintendents.n
He next offered some suggestions
which would be well for some of our
teachers to put into practice; and a
few hints offered to pupils and par
ents if observed would aid in the
government of our schools. The first
was, habits. "If you must introduce
a reformation in your school com
mence early-the first day, be en-
phathic enough to make the pupil
know that you are in earnest, yet
not severe"
Afterspeaking on some other kin
dred subjects the speaker closed his
remarks by congratulating the
teachers on the good work they
were doing.

BADLY NEEDED.-The principal
trains of the day-the evening south.
bound-come in now at late even
ing hour, the days are shortening
and darkeness spreads Its murky pail
around the passenger depot and
along the platform TO a very disa-
greeable extent. The light of coal
oil lamp in the waiting room and a
few fitting lanterns In the hands of
trainmen only serves to make the
darkness all the more annoying, by
half revealing objects without the
least assisting in their identity.
There is urgent need of an electric
light at that place, and If vox populi
was only vox del there would be
one, beaming the most effulgent
rays, created there before the arrival
of the next train. This would be a
good subject for the board of trade
