for a Z wo Weeks Session.
Z Monday morning there were perhaps
seyenty-tiye school teachers Of Davi-.
son county gathered at the west side
high school building to begin with
the opening of the normal institute,
which will be in session for two
weeks. The small attendance at the
opening sessionawas due, perhaps, to
the fact that there was a circus IN
the city today. 5al
Superintendent Coursey began the
work OF the morning by making an
explanation of some of the details OF
the work that had been outlined In
the course OF study, and his sugges-
ttons were given close attention.
The grades were organized and
allotted their places for recitation,
and the work Of the morning was be-
gun by Conductor Stout taking charge
of the class in didactics. The other
teachers in the institute are Prot.
T.s f. Graham, Mrs. Anna Morris
Clark, who arrived on the afternoon
train, and Miss Fannie Foster.
The members Of the institute will
increase from day to day until near
the close of the week when the full
membership will be at work.

OUR MEMORIAL HALL
Inspires Soldiers Throughout the
State.

One result Of holding the Grand
Army Encampment last year, In Belle
fontaine, was the awakening OF the old
soldiers to the conviction that o Memo
rial Hall was the best Of monuments
for commemorating the valor end
patriotism Of the soldiers of the Repub-
lie. The result has been that q law
was passed by the Legislature last win
ter providing for the erection Of such
buildings, on a vote OF the people, and
action has already been taken In sever
al counties.
In Hamilton county, Governor Nash
has appointed Captain E. r. Monfort
General B. r. Gown, Captain Paul NJ.
Millikan, Chas. A Miller and Judge
Aaron Mcneil as trustees Of the Mem
orisl Hall, and they entered last week
ON their duties. These duties include
the arrangements for having the peo.
pie vote on the issue of $3.50, 600 bonds
this coming fall, and the erection and
care OF the hall. 1t Is to be located In
