Teachers Indorse Gov. Northen.
Savannah Peabody institutes were closed
yesterday by School Commissioner s. D.
Bradwen after a months session,
The last day of the institute at Chatham
, Academy was very pleasant one, indeed.
Closing addresses were made by the iu-
structors, thanking the attendants for the
attention they had given, by means of
which their work had been made pleasure
rather than burden. Supt Baker reviewed
the work OF the institute and recounted the
benefits which he perceived had accrued to
the teachers. He expressed the gratitude
or the teachers for the interest shown in the
institute by Capt BraGwell, which he re-
garded as an evidence that the school in
terests OF this section of the state would not
DO neglected by the present state school
commissioner. Prof. Cannon was particular
ly happy in his brief farewell remarks.
Capt. Bradwell gave some account Of the
manner Ia which the Peabody fund is dis
pensed, particularly with regard TO the
scholarships at the Nashville Normal School,
or which Georgia 10 entitled to twenty two.
These scholarships not only include free
tuition, but each pupil receives $40 per month
during the time OF attendance with which
to detray necessary living expenses. These
scholarships, however, are now awarded
only TO pupils who are already ct the school
paying their own expenses, and it is very
seldom that the state school commissioner
has an appointment to make.
THIS SECTION NEGLECTED.
Supt. Baker suggested to Capt. Brad we'll
that he had very deserving candidate for
scholarship when the commissioner has an
appointment TO make.
The farthest point south IN this state from
which pRpii Is enjoying scholarship at
this normal school is Statesboro, Bulloch
county, showing that little attention has
been given this section of the state hereto
fore in the disposition OF these scholarships.
Mr.. NJ. A. OBrtsn, principal Of the
Cathedral school, took the chair by request
ana Prof. j. j. Gillespie introduced resolu-
stons expressing the thanks OF the teachers
