W. HAVuud9t tuc Silu ult., Tue huulet-
don County Teachers Institute opened its
annual sessions in the Court House. The
attendance of teachers was good, but we
must say that the public at large does not
seem to take The interest il should in so
important a matter as the education of
the young

to give our readers this address, as 1t
contained many pithy and important

be published in full, but lack of space
does not permit.

porter obtained short interviews with
many Of the teachers and it was the unan-
fmuusiy expressed opinion by Them that
