Tie afternoon was set apart as special
session for the county school officers. II
was expected that the officers would
generally be present, but much to the
disappointment Of the teachers, only Q
few came in.

there had been a misunderstanding
and as the quill.driver of the Registe,

from the loom and see what it is made
OF. The teachers all know that fol-
several years, excepting the lust two
years, the institute appointed CORES
pondents for the papers, just as they
did secretaries, For three years he had
been appointed to write.up the pro,
cccdings OF the institute for the Register
which he did, and his reports were
published, The secretaries appointed
were paid by the institute, and wheI
he said lie had received no compen
sation, he meant that he had received
none IRON that body. lie was not EN-
ploycd by Mr.. Newman, the Rediae
correspondent, and did not refer to hin
the other day, nor did he reflect on thu
E@jRcr. 1t was only the stupidity o

the editorial referred to. When be
