Charles L. Barnes of SanquOit, n. Y,
one of the most popular entertaining
and instructive OF New York States
corps of skilled institute conductors,
will be present and take leading part
before the teachers every day of the SEES
sion. This will he the greatest oupur.
tunity ever offered the teachers of Ben
nington County. Prof. Barnes is not
only an interesting speaker, but for
several years past, lie has been regularly
employed by the Department. of Educa-
ton i'll New York State, expressly to i'll
Struct teachers at county institutes. The
Institute is to be the best ever held in
the State. Several county teachers will
take part as well as some of our local
teachers and othel citizens, among the
latter. Rev. MIR. Seymour, Major Valen-
tine and perhaps others. For the even

year before at Bennington, teachers were
generously entertained by pirate fami-
lies without pay and the same courtesy
will be extended here again. All Ben.

institute. The work and addresses will
