THE TEACHERS INsTTrUTH.
The public school authorities at Richmond
in arranging for the coming summer schools
or teachers institute in the state have fixed
on Bedford City as the principal place Of as
semblage. and an institute will be held at
Staunton also, but, Is heretofore announced in
The STAR, the state authorities are willing to
locate one of her other institutes in Alexandria
if sufficient inducements are offered. State
Superintendent: John E. Massey writes to Su-
perintendent Carne OF this city. and after say
ing that both Bedford CITY and Stauntou had
made liberal appropriations he continues: 1T
is my purpose to hold still another institute
for whites. Prof. Winston will conduct it.
Should the city authorities OF Alexandria be
willing to make anapproprhtion to cover in
cidental expenses would you take charge of the
local arrangemo nts? Alexandria is a good point.
am in correspondence with the authorities of
several towns. but have not decided where the
institute shall be held" The incidental ex-
penses Of the colored institute held here last
year were paid BIZ the city SUPERINTENDENT OF
schools out OF 800 received bv him for the
work OF conducting the six weeks institute,
but IT Is not to be expected that Prof. Winston
OF Richmond would care to pay out of his own
pocket the incidental expenses of an Alexan-
dria institute. No application on the subject
will be made to the city council. The school
board will furnish the Rooms, janitors, &C., and
will pay the cost Of postage, stationery, print
Ing, DC, and the visiting teachers will receive,
as they did at the last institute of 1883 the
cour tesies of the people. Whether Alexandria
will be chosen by state Superintendent Massey
as the place OF the institute is a question OF the
future.
