FRIDAY.

The Institute convened at 8 a
m, and after the preliminaries to
opening the session. the following
business was transacted:
Subject Libraries, Capt. S. D.
Malone delivered very forcible
address. Prof. Geo. Nj. Ford fol
lowed and spoke upon the same
subject, as did Profs. Sharkey and
Frank Trotter, AlIthese addresses
were short but very. interesting and
to the point, and if they have
stirred up the interest of teachers
in libraries for their schools. they
will have done their talking to
some purpose.
After singing some choice
National Airs, the Institute took a
recess until afternoon.

singing the "West Virginia Hills"
