Institute Notes.

10 the DOuy, VIII never KNOW wndI
a weeks entertainment they care
lessly let slip, nor how many grains
of information they could have
gathered for the vast stOrehouse
of knowledge.
Miss Bessie Moore displayed
great executive ability, in presid-
ing over the meetings, and her
modest dignity won the admiration
of all; and right here, we will say
that we heard several teachers as
sert that the educational interests
of Hardin County, had never been
so stirred up, as since her election
to the Office of County Superin-
tendent.
The morning and afternoon ses-
sions, which were held at the Col
lege, were spent in taking up diff
ferent studies and the teachers
giving their plan Of teaching each.
The talks on the branches of His
tory, Geography, Grammar and &C.
ology were especially interesting.
j. ID. lowers, of Olive Hill, talk
ed on History and Geography in a
pleasing manner and made a good
impression by his earnest and
fearless delivery for one so young.
A perfect little gem of a speech
was made by Henry Walker, of
Hurley, while on the subject of
Grammar. And he was ready
with an easy flow of language and
progressive ideas everytime call
ed on any subject, and he was
called quite often too. He is in
deed a young man of rare intel
lectual powers, and if his voice is
not heard in the halls of Congress,
it will not be from lack of ability.
Prof. Cox, of Adamsville, made
an elaborate and highly entertain
ing talk on the study of Geology.
j. w. Turner, Of Wayne County,
a teacher Of experience and abili-
ty, gave his store of useful helps
and hints TO the young teachers.
j. T. Hardin, of Savannah, was
indispensable to the success of the
meetings; making himself gener-
al useful, and inspiring all, with
his thirst for knowledge and prog
ress.
w. B. Smith, gave the young
teachers his twenty years. expert
ence in the schoOl-rOom, in live
ly and interesting talk.
b. &. Brazel.On did invaluable
work for the Institute, i'll the ca
pacity of Secretary, and also took
part in the discussions, showing
in his progressive plans that his
work in the schO0l-rOom had been
successful.
w. 7. Webb, of Nixon, made and
sustained the impression that he
was an experienced and success
full teacher, by the lucid unfolding
of his plans in teaching different
branches.
Misses Ellen Brown, Jessie
Ross and Ada Smith, the lady
teachers present who took part
in the discussion of modes of
teaching, showed that they were
not behind in the art, and that
their hearts were in the grand and
noble work.
The evening sessions were held
at the M. e. Church, and consist.
ed of addresses, recitatiOns, read.
ings and music. The following per.
sons took part: Addresses by,
w. B. Smith, j. w. Turner, j. S
Barber, Henry Walker, Rev. r. j
Wood, of Hamburg, and Prof
Hanna, of Saltillo. RecitatiOns

Jones, Jessie Ross, Allie Thomp.
son, Stella Barlow and Jewel Han,
ma, daughter of Prof. j. A. Hanna
of SaltillO. Little Jewel is only
seven years old, but her elocutior
was perfect and her gestures full
of ease and grace. Mrs. d. A
McDougal, of Purdy, held the au
dience enthralled by her comic
readings, which displayed her high
ly cultivated Evolutionary powers
and gestures of swaying grace d
motion. Miss Matte BrOyles
who had charge of the music, was
ably assis ed by Misses Fannie
Broyles, Bessie Williams, Belle
Patterson, Prof. Collins and 9th
! ers. There were vocal solos by
, Misses Lula Hardin, Maria Sewer
} Ella BrOyles and Allie Thompson
and some excellent music on gui
tars, was rendered by Misses
! Maude and Jennie BrOyles. |. S
, White, of Saltill0, read the resO
/ lutions, the choir sung, "God b,
with you till we meet again." ant
thus closed one of the most event
full weeks in the educational his
