The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1898-09-17
The Institute.

Wnlcn convened AT the COuTlnOuSS
last week, was well attended by the
teachers, and, in some respects, was
the most interesting and ms tructive
Institute ever held In this county.
The meetings were presided over by
Miss Lucy Pattie, the Superintendent,
in her usual energetic and business
like manner. The work Of the pro-
gram was intelligentiy discussed and
. much good instruction elected from
these discussions. The teachers,
with a unanimity seldom eXcelled,
responded willingly to the demands
Of the occasion, giving an additional
evidence that the schools of Franklin
county are in good and safe hands.
Local talent was freely drawn upon,
which lent variety and interest to
the session otherwise unattainable.
Prof. T. c.. Cherry, of Bowling
Green, was the instructor and his
work, during the entire week, was of
high character, and clearly marks
him as one of the leaders of educa-
tional thought in the State. His
manner of presenting thought for his
hearers is pleasing and, at the same
time, clear and instructive. He was
ably assisted in the work by his
talented young wife, who gave the
Institute a series of valuable lessons
in reading and elOcution.
On Tuesday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. William Cromwell entertained
the teachers at their elegant home
on South Shelby street. Wednesday
evening an entertainment was given
the teachers in the chapel of the
city school building.
The program, arranged by Mrs.
Cromwell, was replete with good
things and highly enjoyable. Gov.
Bradley, in his address, impressed his
audience as being strong advocate
of public education.
On Thursday Mrs. Cherry gave an
Evolutionary recital at the court
house to an appreciative audience
Her work is thoroughly natural,
skillfully artistic and very entertain
ing. Space forbids the special men
ton of many who deserve it. The
Institute adjourned Friday afternoon
leaving a lasting impression for gooc
upon those who had attended anC
engaged in its work.
