instruction to Teachers.
The state and county superintendents
of education are working upon a sys-
tenn whereby they hope to secure more
steady and effective training for
the teachers of the county than
has heretofore been practicable. Two
plans are under consideration. One
plan contemplates the appointment
of corps Of three or four COM
petent teachers, who will give In
struction to all the teachers Of the
county on Saturdays. The other plan
contemplates larger corps of teachers
and the division Of the work In such
manner that sessions Of the school may
be held on every Saturday and In diff
ferent parts of the county at the same
time. The latter plan looks to the
greater convenience Of the teachers, the
various institutions being nearer their
homes.
The Right of Way.
Speaking of the proposition to get
rid Of that inconvenient loop In the
Neely's Ferry road, and Strengthening
this road so as to save about a mile or
distance, Supervisor Gordon said on
Monday: "The greatest difficulty Is the
matter Of right of way. I have no rea-
son to hope that all Of the parties
through whose lands the proposed road
will run, are willing to give the right or
way and I do not like the idea Of con-
demnation for two reasons. In the first
place I am averse to litigation when 1t
can be avoided and in the second place
I do not like the idea Of having the
county pay for rights Of way. I would
prefer that the people most directly In
terested secure the right Of way and
donate it to the public. If right or
way can be secured In this case In the
manner suggested, there will be no fur
ther trouble about Strengthening the
road, and I do not think there Will be
much delay either"
