TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Large attendance and much. interest
manifested.

The finest teachers institute ever con
Quoted i'll our county was held in this
village last week, at the school house.
1t was a joint one, comprising Forest
and Villas counties under the supervision
of Superintendent Higgins and Moe
The attendance and interest manifest
ed exceeded Superintendent Higgins
expectations, and was glorious tribute
to Moe and Higgins special labors in
the institutes behalf.
The work was conducted by Prof
Walker, of the Superior Normal School,
and Prof. WentZ, of our schools; and the
manner in which the teachers took hold
OF the work showed that those two
gentlemen were well upin this profession.
A number of visitors were daily in at
tendance and found the work interesting
as we'll as entertaining.
| The three days session was hardly
adequate, as the teachers just got nicely
| in the work when the institute closed
1t is to be hoped that another year there
will be Il weeks institute, and we have
our belief that there will be, upon the
excellent showing of orr first institute.
Superintendent Higgins and Moe de
serve the credit for the success of the
institute, and here is hoping that they
will be able, another year, to impress
upon the State Superintendent the ad
visibility of holding another institut,
here.
