Arbor Day.

Trinity School observed Friday,
April "a, as Arbor Day instead Of
April 10, the day set apart by law.
There was a number OF trees
and plants set out in the
school yard and nearly all OF them
we're brought by the pupils OF the
school. The day was warm and
pleasant; there were So scholars
present and all enjoyed the after
noon very much. Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Hart and Miss Minnie
Starbuck were the visitors pres
ent. Part of the afternoon was
spent in exercises suitable to the
day. Seven girls spoke building
the Birch Canoe" from Longfel-
lows "Hiawatha," and several
girls gave quotations in praise of
trees from Henry Ward Beecher,
Washington Irving, Emerson and
Lowell. After the exercises in
the sch oolroom the school march
ed out in the yard where there
was a song sung by the scholar
and teacher, and a piece spoken
by Lettie Hewitt entitled "Plant-
ing of Trees" We all hope that
the trees will do well and that In
after years we will have a pleas
ant shade in our school yard. This
is one verse of a little po EN- that
was spoken by the scholar in con-
cert.
He who plants tree plants hope.
Rootle,s up through fbers blindly grope;
Leaves unfold unto horizons free.
So mans life must climb from the sods

Unto heavens sublime.

OF Interest to Teachers.

The county court appoints be-
tween June % and July l, 1891
two persons who together with the
county commissioner constitute
the county institute board. The
county institute hoard employs
the conductor and the instructors
of the institute, and fixes their
salaries. The conductor is the
superintendent of the institute;
the instructors are nis assistants.
No one can be a condutor or in
structor unless licensed by the
State Training School. This board
lis composed of the conductor and
the instructors and of which the
county commissioner is mem
ber, grants three grades ofcertifi-
Gates in the common branches.
The second and third grades are
good for one year in the county
for which it is issued; the first.
for three years in any county of
the state. The county commits
sionar may examine teacher who
for good and sufficient reasons did
not attend the examination held
by the institute board. The coun-
ty commissioner receives no ex-
animation fees, but a salary as
conductor if licensed by the State
Training School. ALI certificates
now in existence are valid until
they expire.
The next State Teachers Asso-
citation will be held at Pertle
Springs (Warrensburg,) Mo,
June 23, "a, and %, 1891, and the
State Training School, June 26 to
July 9, 1891. This will be one of
the most memorable educational
gatherings ever held in the Miss
issippi valley. 1t will demon
strate beyond doubt that Mis-
sonri as well as New England can
have an educational school of
methods and make it great sue
cess. 1t is the policy of State
Superintendent Wolfe to build
up these educational institutions
for Missouri, and attract from
other states rather than to encour
ago Mlssourians to 60 abroad for
such advantages. During the ses-
sion of the General Assembly, he
worked early and late to secure
this State Training School for
Missouri, and, all in all, it will be
the greatest educational meeting
ever held in the west. The prin-
elpal element of Importance is
that the 400 able educators who
will attend it will 60 out to train
and license Missouri's 10000
teachers in ia county institutes,
and these $4,000 teachers will 90
out to instruct our 700, 900 children
in the common schools.
Arrangements have been made
with the principal railroads for
one fare for the round trip, good
for going June to 25 and for
retu1 ming until July II.
The State Teachers Association
will be the best ever held in the
state. Probably at least thous-
and teachers will be present. Let
US have an attendance of one thous-
and for once.
