and Baltimore Advertiser-now the
Baltimore American-in an editorial of
July 81, 1875, says:
''On Monday last, at IL o'clock, the
Declaration of Independence was pro-
claimed at the courthouse in this town
at the head Of the Independent and ar
tillery companies, to the great joy and
satisfaction of the audience, with dis
charge of cannon, ETC., and universal
acclamations for the prosperity of the
free United States. In the evening the
effigy, representing the king of Great
Britain, was carte through the town to
the no small msth of the numerous
spectators, afterward thrown into fire
made for that purpose. Thus may it

gressive teachers are those who avail them
selves of the work given at such meetings.

these institutes are those whoshave had
practical experience in school work and
know how to impart to others portion of
what they have gained in this experience.
Effort has been put forth to give the county
the best institute ever held.
The work will combine professional and
academic instruction. The institute will be
divided into sections. and instructors will
conduct classes for the purpose of reviewing
some studies, and also to illustrate certain
methods Of instruction. The workers have
been urged to arrange for caisthenic exer-
cises, singlns, marching, and the like, so as
to make the work move off cheerily and
without fatigue.
