The school teachers of Thomas
county have again gathered in the city
to attend the Thomas County Normal
Institute, and with wishes for their ed
ucational Improvement, the Car ex-
tends the hand of welcome. The ef-
forts made by our teachers to better
qualify themselves for instructing our
children, should be appreciated by
every citizen of the city and county.
The school boards should remember
this fact, though it would be unjust
to make the rule imperative. The
teacher who devotes time and money
deserves the highest commendation.
and We hope to see every Instructor in
the county enrolled at the Institute
before it closes. The value of the
Normal is not a momentary but ever
lasting importance. Here the teacher
gathers new ideas in presenting sub
jects to their pnpils as well as improy-
ing themselves in theoretical learning.
The institute Instructors are well quail
ified for the positions, and the teach
ers will find it advantageous to enroll
as early in the work as possible.
