Next in order was the report of the
Committee on Resolutions. After the
reading of the resolutions, on motion
of E. w. Baker, it was agreed they
should be taken up, discussed and
passed upon separately. Following
are those adopted:
First, Whereas, Mr.. H. R. Postel and
P. w. Grinstead have given to the In
stitute information on the methods of
teaching which we deem of the high
est Value
Resolved, That the special thanks of
the Institute are hereby rendered
them, and resolved further, that our
thanks are also extended to Prof Lum-
ley for his ready, able and efficient
service as our Instructor.
Second, Whereas, The inequality Ct
beginning the schools throughout the
county has given rise to some dissatis-
faction, Resolved, That the trustees
and teachers, and County Superinten-
dent are hereby requested to make an
effort to have all the schools begin at
the same time, and also that the teach
ers' Institute be held during the week
before the opening of the schools
Third. Whereas, we, the teachers in
Garrard county believe that we would
derive more benefit from County Nor
mails than from the county Institute
as established by the present law of
Kentucky.
Resolved, LIST, That the present law
ought to be so amended that County
Normals will be substituted for Coun-
ty Institu tes. End. That the County
Institutes ought not to be dispensed
with unless the County Normals be
su bstituted in their place.
3rd, That the said Normals should
be held for not less than ten days, and
that the expenses be paid out Of the
Common School Fund.
4th, Resolved, That county certif-
Gates ought to be abolished, and only
State certificates be issued by State
authorities. Also that we, in every
way possible, urge and assist our Rep
resentatives and Senators in securing
this legislation.
We also urge the teachers of other
counties and all others interested to
aid in securing the passage of such a
law, and we appeal especially, to our
own Superintendent Miss Elisa Lus SIX,
for her aid, and empower her to call
upon any, or all of us for our co-ope-
ration in this direction.
After the adoption of the resolutions
Prof. Lamley gave a very pleasant
talk, a fter which the Institute closed
by singing, my Country tits of Thee. "
INSTITUTE SPARKS

ton without doubt the most handsome
in the whole LOTT were, at first so care
full of their health as to be afraid to
come out through the rain to the Insti-
tute; but be it said to their credit that
before it closed they not only were
present, but were decidedly very much
interested in quite a number OF the
teachers individually.
| One of the lady teachers, who, since
last year has doubled mans expen'
ses and her own RESPONSE bilities became
so deeply interested in the work of the
institute that she actually failed tC
answer at roll call and afterward con-
fessed to the secretary that she had
actually forgotten her name for the
time being.
At one time during the session two
of our oldest teachers of opposite sex
and both still enjoying (?) single bless
eduess, passed such nice compliments
upon each others ability, and they
were received SO gracefully that Prof
Lunley found it advisable to refer to
them as bouquets" in order to pro
coed with the real discussion. Now
we don't blame any young Single llady
teacher for taking advantage of any
opportunity that presents even a pos
sibility of chance to better her way
of making a living and enjoying life
but we do think that B. F. Evans
ought to know better than to shy hi
bouquets" during Institute.
One of the lady teachers was heard
to make the complaint: after the la
dy-teachers do marry, they still keel
on teaching-I don't think that is fair
at all =" We hope that when this good
woman enters double blessedness,'
she will not have to find out wha
some of the others have, viz: A man {?
sometimes wants teacher for a wife
in order that she may teach (help) hin
to make living.
