THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The meeting Of the county school
teachers in our town this week was an
event of more than ordinary import
ance. 1t was 4 body of educated and
accomplished ladies and gentlemen,
that would bear favorable comparison
with a similar asscmblage in any coun-
ty OF this State. The papers read by
the teachers and others were Of an I'M
usually high order OF merit, and we
regret that more of our citizens did
not attend the sessions and enjoy the
rare literary treat which was afforded.
These faithful workers in our public
schools, who are charged with the diff
cult and responsible task of training
mentally and morally the little ones of
our households, cannot receive too
large share Of our gratitude and re-
spect. Dr. Forman, in his manage
ment of the Institute, proved that he
is the right man in the right place, and
our State public school system, which
IS already very efficient, must improve
under the methods OF work which he
has outlined. We think he is to be
congratulated upon the successful
meeting here, and the teachers should
be commended for the interest and al
probation which they manifested

MARYLAND HOME FOR
DEWEY.

We heartily commend TIE action of
the citizens of Easton, Talbot county.
in inausurating movement to present
to Admiral Dewey the handsome estate
known as THE Rest" the late home
of Admiral Buchanan. If he will come
to Talbot to reside.
The movement is backed hy such
well-known men as Gen. Joseph b.
Seth, Col. c. +. Goldsborough, j. Harry
Covington, Robert B. Dixon, Francis
G. Wri.htson, Clerk of the Court, and
Capt. William H. Haddawav.
A meeting was held Wednesday and
$1,000 was subscribed, and the books
will be opened to the public tomorrow
The matter has aroused the greatest
enthusiasm, and every effort will be
made to prevail on the Admiral to &C
cept.
The Rest is one of the handsomcst
estates in that county, beautifully stu
atcd on the Miles River just opposite
the "Anchorage,' the late home OF
Commodore Lowndes. The project
was only brought out Wednesday, and
it reached large dimensions at once
and the entire county will contribute
to the fund to buy the place.
