COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Teacher Institute.

The afternoon session opened with
a vocal solo: @The song that reached
my heart" by Miss Nellie Ainley. The
young lady was heartily encored.
Professor Augsburg for one and one
half hours held the strict attention OF
the audience by his popular lessons
in drawing and there is no doubt but
that the teachers will reap great ben
eft from his instructions.
Mrs. j. E. Miller of Carin read a
paper. the general tenor Of which was
a bright discussion OF Nevada's posi-
biGties and resources and the poor
use that is made Of both of them. 1t
was indeed a very strong paper and
worthy of publication in full.
J. G. Doughty of Starr Valley dis
cussed and set forth from his point
of view, economy of time in ungraded
schools, very important question for
Nevada teachers to thoroughly COO.
slider as the great majority Of Ne
vada's schools are ungraded and
yet at teachers Institutes this class II
school is not given the attention it de-
serves. A lively discussion follow

call showing an attendance Of ninety

sessions of the institute between the

Prof. D. r. Augsburg again took up
the subject OF drawing. The chief
value Of the mornings in structions
was the application in drawing to the
trade, profession or art, Models we're
placed in the hands of all the teach
er'e aud proved of much assistance in
making instruction plain, together
with the benefit derived from tho use
Of the model. Prof. Augsburg is pop
