Prof. Fl. P. Burrus advocated holding the summer institute. So did Prof. J. c. DuBose.
 pr. Palmer was in favor of the school, i, but feared it could not be made success.
 Prof. c. B.. Russell favored the school. He sGid we never had anything uuless we tried to get it..
 Tax Collector R. C.. Hewitt urged the importance of such school as mentioned, l, saying that the teacher must keep abreast of the times. He: said the teacher who did not study was not fit to have charge of a class of children. He may possess a diploma, but he must have other attain lnents before he can make success of teaching.
 Dr.. J. H. Phillips ssi some of the best teachers in the county had quit the pro- fession and gone at something else, be- causs they were not paid enough. The trouble with the state is some of the best teachers had quit the profession because their pay was inadequate. They had to do something else to make living.
 Prof. J. O.. DuBose moved the appoint ment of committee of five, consisting of Dr. J. H. Phillips, chairman. and Profs. mer and Supt. 1. w. McAdory, to take in hand this matter and see if the school can be held and how many will attend.
 Prof. Glover Moore wanted the chair to ca I on all present who could attend said scnool to make it known.
 Prof. w. P. Taylor said the report of the old committee should be disposed of before considering the motion of Professor Du- Bose. .s>
 The motion to adopt the report pre- vailed. est
 Professor DuBose's motion was adopted and Profs. J. c. DuBose and F. NJ. Roof added to the committee.
 Prof. Glover Moore's motion that all teachers who would attend the school four weeks and pay S4 to same. whether they attend or not, be asked to 30 state, was put to the house and several teachers rose to their feet. s
