The Teachers Institute With Accessories
The teachers institute and .'educa-
tional week" in this city opened Mon
day under favorable auspices. Teach
ers of the county were present in full
force, and Monday afternoon was spent
in organizing for work as we'll as enter
tainment, as the Chautauquan plan
had been introduced on the program.
Monday night a surprisingly large
audience appeared to DO honor to the
speaker, Prof Booth Lowrey, who gave
his humorous lecture Simon says
Wig Wag," and to Miss Elizabeth Pur-
ser, who gave first pathetic and then
a humorous selection. The Brookha-
ven ladies' quartette made their debut
ia choice selection and the "old re-
liable" Aria Quartette charmed their
audience with their good singing and
responded to a vociferous encore.
Tuesday morning Prof. Lowrey con-
tinued his lecture begun the morning
before on physical development and
attracted and held the attention of
every listener. On this occasion
occurred the elocution and piano con-
tests and the musical Franklin Quar-

their popular songs. Last night Mr..
r. D. Fulton gave reading, "The
Hoosier Schoolmaster," with stereopti
can views, Prof. Edgar Green at the
crank. 1t wouldn't work some Way,
and Mr.. Green says that owing to the
hot weather and other insurm ountable
obstacles, he hopes the public will ex-
cuse him from appearing in that role
again. Miss Virginia Marshall was
cordially received aud gave a humor-
Gus selection, which met with hearty
encore. Miss Sara Storm made 1.-THE
hit" of the evening in character song
which captivated the eutire audience
