TEACHERS INSTITUTES,
Both White and Colored, Now in Session
in Columbia,

The Teachers Annual Institute
met Monday, June %, in the Public
School building, and was called to
order by County superintendent
Jessie Tomlinson. A goodly num-
Der of teachers were present. Mr..
S. A. Link, of Nashville, was put in
charge of the general work; Miss
Glase, of Nashville, has the primary
work; Mr.. j H. Dining was made
Chairman, and Miss Maud William
son, Secretary. Prof. James A. Bos-
tick opened with prayer, after which
w. S. Fleming, Jr., delivered the
address of welcome, which was re-
sponded to by Mr.. Dining. The
rest of the morning was taken up in
the discussion of "How May Our
Institute Be Made Profitable?n In
the afternoon, the query box was
handled in most interesting way
by Mr.. J. A. Bostick. These query
boxes come the first thing after noon
every day, so that the teachers may
laugh and digest their dinners, and
get in a good fix for the regular
work. A discussion of primary
numbers by Miss Glase, and arith-
metic by Prof. Link, closed the af-
ternoOn session.
A programme is prepared for each
day, and the lectures, discussions
and remarks render each days work
extremely interesting and profitable.
Profs. Link, Dining, Bostick and
Tomlinson, assisted by Miss Glase,
enter heartily into the work and
show a thorough familiarity with
the same.
DR.. Hazel Padgett's lectures on
physiology every day at II a. M,
are excellent, and are listened to
with the profoundest interest.
Prof. Dinning's addresses on liter
allure are beautiful in thought and
diction. Everybody who heard his
talks on the Death of the Flowers -
Wednesday, and Whittier" Thurs
day, say he is a master of the Eng
lish language.
Mr.. Little, on civil government;
Mr.. Straley, on history; Miss Glase,
on the primary work, and Mr.. Link
on geometry, algebra, rhetoric,
grammar, and physics, have each
made excellent talks.
The number of teachers continues
to grow. Never, perhaps, has the
educational interest been so great in
Maury County as at present. The
Institute has already enrolled more
than hundred teachers, each one
anxious to learn something new
new ideas which they hope will en-
able them to make theirs the public
school of the county. Most all the
prominent teachers of the county
are present. The following are en-
