Teachers Institute.

The Teachers Institute just
closed here has been one of the
most prosperous if not the most
prosperous IN the history of the
county. This proves to us that
education is yet in the lead and
that our teachers mean business
when they go out upon their noble
missisons. We feel proud of
such corps of young, energetic
and progressive workers. All OF
our teachers we're present and in
attendance except four or five,
and the way in which they applied
themselves is proof that they
are interested in their grand and
noble work, and that success is
their aim.
The benefits derived from this
one weeks work will be lasting;
and think I speak for all when
say that we feel that it was good
for us to be here, and l feel that
every teacher will resume, with
new vigor and enthusiasm, the
duties devolving upon them,
though their energy was untiring
before.
Too much credit can hardly
be bestowed upon our worthy
Conductor; we wish him un-
bounded success wherever he
may be in his noble calling.
At the close of the Institute the
following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
Whereas our Institute has been
in progress during the entire
week under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. p. p. Garner.
And whereas our attendance
has been a pleasure that has in
creased from day to day.
And whereas, we feel that il
has conferred upon us lasting
benefits as teachers.
And whereas, 1t has now reach
ed its close; Therefore be it
Resolved, That we as bod y
Of co-workers tender our SINGER
est thanks to our able and pro-
gressive Conductor for his kind.
ness toward us and for the great
interest manifested by the en-
thuslastic efforts displayed by
him to help us in the upbuilding,
in our midst, of the great and
important factor, education.
