THE TEAoHsRs INSTITUTE
TO begin on Monday aud LRst Throngh
tho Week. Every Teacher In 100
IS County Should DO Present.


| County Should DO Present.
In another column OF this issue will
be found the notice OF the Institute for
white teachers, which begins Monday,
25th, aud continues until the evening
OF the Goth o: this month. ...,....
The management Of the institute will
be In the hands OF Messrs. Hand and
Hughes. This, ito parties acquainted
with these gentlemen, Is sufficient
guarantee of pleasure and profit.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hand
! was with us some years since In this
samo class Of work; and, that he i'm
pressed all who heard him, as u Jealous
exponent of all that ia best along edu-
cational lines.
Prof. Hughes Is, by adoption, New
berrian, aud Is too we'll known to need
any comment at our hands. Suffice it
TO say that the words Hughes and
progress are synonymous terms.
President Frank Woodward, OF the
South Carolina College, will lectlre on
Tuesday evening at 8 30 p. m, and on
Wednesday at such time as he may
elect. There Is always food for thought
In the utterances OF this brilliant edn.
Gator, and we bespeak for him large
audience, feeling that ell who hear will
be pleased and will 60 away wit h broad
er and deeper views of their privileges.
Miss Nellie Chapman-our Nj iss Mel
lie-will give to the Institute all OF the
time that her health will permit. Miss
Q. has no superiors and but few equals
In her chosen profession.
Other lectures will be provided; in
fact, we are informed that the County
Superintendent intends making this
the "red letter" meeting Of the year.
We feel that IL Is useless to say that
every teacher should attend, as these
meetings are held especially for them;
and whilst we sometimes fear that
patrons fall to recognize that teachers,
as well as others. have rights which
should be respected, We ut the same
time feel that these same t, achers have
no valid excuse for non attendance,
when 80 much Is dependent upon that
untfication obtainable largely, II not
solely, upon association al comparison.
Large amounts are expended annually
upon this work with the view of i'm
proving the personnel OF the pedagogic
guild and fostering that esprit de
corps" which Is 80 highly necessary TO
success In any Of the walks of life.
Let us say right here that "there are
others" who should begin to show some
sign of interest in the workings of these
meetings. The mothers and fathers Of
the future citizens Of Newberry, 1t
seems to us, owe it to their children to
see that everything is done that should
be done to fit them for the issues of the
future. Often are we struck with
amazement at the apparent listlessness
OF parents In this matter; this should
not be. What moro important could
occupy them-working as they do from
year to year to provide for their physi-
cal wants; they delegate, without ques-
tion, the character forming processes
ofttimes TO entire strangers surrender
Ing thereby the only royal privileges of
parentage.
Prof. V. Theo. Ely will deliver DUR
Ing the sessions of the Institute lectures
on GLOW to teach writing In public
schools" Prof. Fly Is graduate from
the Zanerian Pen Art College, OF Co
lumbus, o, also from the famous Spen-
Ger Bros, Of Washington City. Messrs.
H. A. and n. G.. Spencer are sons of
the old original p. r. Spencer, founder
OF the Spencerian System of penman-
ship. This ia subject, the treatment
of which Is much needed among the
schools.
All sessions Of the Institute will be
open to the public, commencing each
morning ut 9 and concluding at 100
o'clock. Evening sessions at s. 80.
Round table talks from $40 TO 6. 30 in
the afternoon.
The Institute will be held I'm the opera
house and the lectures will be delivered
there also. Everybody Is invited to all
OF the sessions.
