TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
First Session Of the seth Annual conven-
ton Of County School Teachers.

Two hundred and seventy-nine out of
total Of two hundred and ninety-five
teachers employed i'm the schools of this
county, answered roll-call at the opening
session of the 39th annual Teachers In
stitute, in the Court House, Monday af-
ternoon. In addition to the teachers,
th ere were number of directors present
from different parts of the county. The
audience was further augmented by the
presence of three or four hundred ladies
and gentlemen from the different districts
of the county and from Somerset town.
There was not an unoccupied seat, and
standing room was at a premium when
Superintendent Berkey called for order
promptly at l:30. Afler the audience had
united in singing a hymn, Rev. Mullen
dore, of the Disciple Church, read les
son from II Ecclesiastics: Remember
Now Thy Creator i'm the Days of Thy
Youth, de-" Upon the completion of the
lesson the minister offered an invocation
that appeared to touch the hearts of his
large audience.
Ex-County Superintendent Sanner,
=" nv "o' oh NhN BiC6 ~ sAN
address of Welcome" was roundly ap-
plauded when he arose. After the usual
perfunctory words of welcome, he
branched off into an address, on the quail
ifcations and duties of teachers. His
address was well received and has since
been highly spoken of by all who heard
it.
". III. Kretchman, principal of the
Berlin schools, responded 10 the address
of welcome in mastery and effective
manner. Voicing the sentiments of a
majority of the teachers, he paid neat
tribute to Superintendent Berkey for his
lGbors in behalf Of the schools of the
county, and concluded his remarks by
saying that the teachers had not come
here simply on pleasure jaunt or for
recreation, but 10 acquire knowledge and
10 be instructed by the eminent edu cat
ors who had been brought here for that
purpose.
Prof. Arnold Tompkins, of the Illinois
University, Chicago, WAS introduced
TO the institute and delivered a lecture on
school management that showed him TO
be a past master in the profession. The
Doctor has charming address that wins
him friends without apparent effort on
his part. His popularity with Somerset
county teachers was assured after his first
appearances.
Prof DeMotIe, who had been assigned
the last period at this session, was unable
to be present on account of having missed
railroad connection at Hyndman, and
