Revolutions.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the Normal
institute at the close of one of its
most successful sessions:
We think it necessary when we have
oeen the recipient of any good thing
that it is our duty as we'll as our privi-
lege to show our appreciation.
/ Whereas, We have, for number of
years, been favored with the efficient
superintendent of Prof. Stuart, and
the thorough instruction of Prof. Will
Hanson of Fairfield, and have this year
added. to our corps of instructors Mrs.
Jenkins, of Ithica, N. Y, and Miss Cur
tbs, of Cedar Falls, whose earnest work
and pleasant personality make them
seem like old friends.
Be ii resolved, That we, the teachers
of Wapello county institute, do extend
to the above instructors our sincere
thanks.
Be it further resolved, That as we
have been under the most earnest and
| thoughtful supervision of Mr.Parks for
the last six years. and as he has been
most jealous in the cause of education
in our county. ever lending helping
hand to all, we feel that the high
standing of the Wapello county schools
| is largely due to his untiring efforts in
behalf of teacher and pupil and here
by extend to him also our most grate>
| ful thanks Fh%
