The Sussex Teachers, Institute.

Complete arrangements have been
made for the Institute, and it promises
to be a very instructive aud entertain
ing session. The corps Of day workers
is especially attractive, each member
being well known in educational work
While they are new faces to Sussex
teachers, they are old in the work and
may be expected to give US some very
useful hints in our work. We are anX-
ious to have as large an attendance Of
the teachers as possible, as by attend
ing the day sessions and mingling with
each other, many new and helpful ideas
will be gained.
The reception that has been accorded
the teachers Of Sussex by the people Of
Milford, has always been of a more
than commendable nature 1t is but
natural then that the teachers should
look forward to the time with pleasure
1t is also pleasant for the people of Mil
ford to entertain so large a body of ed
ucatOrs.
Prof. Redway's talks on "Geogra-
ply" will be eagerly listened to, not
only by the teachers, but the citizens
as well, as he has a pleasant and engag-
ing way of lecturing.
Mrs Myers will talk Oh mature
Study" and, as her experience has
been very broad, she viii prove very
interesting, aud many practical truths
will be impaired to the teachers.
A. G. Schmucker's talks on ma
ture Work" will also delight and in
struct his hearers. He is not a stran-
ger and comes from a nearby city where
many teachers are turned out.
George Howell needs no introduction,
as he will demonstrate his adaptability
to the work in less time than it would
take to introduce him.
Mr.. Demerest will talk on a subject
near to every teacher, and will interest
as we'll as instruct.
NJ. G. Benedict, a "Down Easter, y
will inspire the teachers with methods
that have been proven by years of prac-
tical use to be sound.
This presents an intellectual and ed
vocational feast that we cannot afford tC
miss, whether we be teacher or parent
