boro. and Prof. w. T. Asbury, principal
of the Manor academy, were selected by
Commissioner Smith as experts during
the session, The teachers from the differ
ent schools in the county have most all
arrived. Prof. Hill was waited upon this
morning by several young lady teachers.
who said that they were particularly anx-
ious that English grammar and aritbme-
tic be given preference over all other
studies during the institute. as they need
ed drilling on these subjects more than on
any other mentioned in the syllabus Prof
Hill expressed himself as being pleased
with the suggestion and said that he would
confer with the school commissioner and
Prof. Asbury as to the propriety of grant
ing the request.
The expert for the work who was oriei-
nally engaged for the work failed 10
come, and it was only on Saturday last
that arrangements were made with Prof.
Hill to conduct the institute. Prof. Hin
accepted the position only on condition
that he should be furnished an assistant
expert, and Prof. Asbury was selected as
his assistant
The principal work done in the institute
to-day was that of organization The
teachers appear to be more interested in
the institute than they were last year

morning, when It will be announced
whether the subjects will be taken in reg
ular order, or the study of grammar and
arithmetic shall be given the preference.
