TO be held in kingwOOd this year.

10 ne hclu IN hlngMOOu inns year,
The State Supt. of Free Schools,
Hon. j. r.. Trotter Of Charleston,
has completed the program aud
outline of the work for the county
institutes TO be held in the various
counties of the State this year, and
we publish and advanced copy of
the same for the special benefit of
our teachers, in order that they
may read up and be posted on the
work in advance of tho session and
thereby be enabled to take more
part in the proceedings and secure
a greater benefit from this annual
convention of our educators. We
have also indicated in the program
abous how the night sessions will
be disposed of, in order that every
body will know before hand just
what to look for, and can there
fore govern themselves accordingly.
We hope every teacher in the
county Will secure aud save copy
of this paper and make good use of
the following outline. 1t IS more
than likely that many of these
topics will have a strong bearing
on the examinations.
The program is of considerable |
interest to teachers and instructors |
