Dear Sir-In your short notice OF the
Norfolk county teachers Institute In
Tuesday mornings paper you were not
altogether just 10 the county in saying
this is the first institute ever held in
the county," On the contrary. you
could have said this ls the tenth lnsti-
tute held under the present organiza-
ton, and that Norfolk county Is the
only county In Virginia that holds a
five day institute, with a corps Of In
structors employed for the purpose and
selected from the most progressive nor
NAL instructors in the county.
1t also might have been said that It
Is probable that the first teachers in
stitute for public school teachers ever
held in Virginia was held ct Deep
Creek, Norfolk county In 1858. and the
first held under the present school sys-
tenn was held In Berkeley, Norfolk coun-
ty. 1875.
Yours truly.
