his treatment of the subject was
characteristic and interesting. Mr..

Mr.. Fresh, president of the Coun-
ty Commissioners, was then invited
to address the Institute. President
Hove called attention to the worthy
bers' efforts with the last Board
of Commissioners when an addi-

purposes. Mr.. Fresh has proven
to be warm friend of education,
but his modesty only allows him the
pleasure of working for schools
rather than that of talking to
teachers.
