The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-10-23


some one else came in.
The afternoon session was taken up
first with lesson on Reading by
Byron w. King, who instructed and
entertained at the same time.
Those who had the pleasure of
hearing Rev. Father Stanton, an Oak
land boy, now of Homecoming, during
the normal school last summer were
not disappointed when they saw his
name on the program for the Teach
ers' Institute. His lecture on "Cour-
age" delivered in such simple Ian
guage as to reach the understanding
of all, contained many beautiful
thoughts and useful suggestions. The
manner in which the speaker eulo-
gized the teachers of Garrett county
proved that he still retains warm
place in his heart for the welfare of
the residents of this his native county.
FRIDAY.
Friday morning was opened with a
song, followed with talk by Mr..
Meyers, an eX-teacher.
The reading of the resolutions re-
lating to the institute as past and
present by Mr.. Culp. The last reso-
luton of Mr.. Culps concerned the adj
visibility of having a compulsory
school law for Garrett county. There
seeming to be division of opinion on
this clause quite heated discussion
was INDUCED in. The resolution,
however, was adopted by the insti-
tute.
The resolutions drawn up by Prof.
Sanner, regarding the removal by
death of two teachers, also concern
ing the institute, were adopted as
read.
Resolutions drawn up read by Prof.
Dewitt, relating to the visiting in
structors during the institute, were
adopted as read.
Resolutions relating to the present
frightening of the school term were
drawn up and read by Prof. Lora-
ditch and adopted.
The distributing of Monthly Re
ports and the explaining of such was
then done.
After few more words of instruc-
ton and encouragement by the Elk
aminer the institute stood adjourned
until next year.
Those who attended the lecture on
Thursday evening by Byron w. King
and also those who were deprived of
that great pleasure will be gratified
to know that DR.. King has consented
to be with us again at our next in
stitute.
WHEREAS, By common consent this
institute has been one of the most
successful institutes ever held in this
county; therefore be it
ReSOI0ed, That the thanks of the
institute be extended to those upon
whom devolyed the duties of prepar-
Ing the programs and carrying them
out so successfully.
ReSolUed, That the thanks of the
institute be extended to Miss Mae
Hamill and those who assisted her for
ner with which they discharged the
duty of furnishing the music.
ReSOI0ed, That we call the especial
attention of our Representative in
the Legislature to the necessity of
having the provisions of the compul-
sorry school law, now in force in some
portions of our State, extended to this
county, with provision, however, ex-
empting from its operations persons
residing more than two miles from
any school; and we respectfully but
earnestly urge their earnest endeayor
in this direction.
ReSotUed, That the sincere thanks
of the institute be extended to the dis
tinguished visitors from a distance
who have so ably and untiringly as
sisted us in the work of the institute.
and from advice and inspiring words
we have received so much benefit.
ReSoloed, That the thanks of this
institute is due to the splendid music
rendered by the Rasche orchestra.
This orchestra has achieved wonder
full success.
IN MEMOIUM.
ReS0lUed, that we note with deep
sorrow the loss of two of our dear
teachers, Marshall Friend and Hiram
ID. Frantz. The first, veteran in the
professional man of sterling worth
who did much in educating public
sentiment for that which is elevating
and enrolling. He left a large fam
ily-two of whom are teachers-both
deprived of the pleasure of being with
us. One of these teachers today is
afflicted with the same disease that
called her father to her reward-the
other is at her bedside doing all that
a loving sister can for her comfort;
that we extend to this grief stricken
family our warmest sympathy.
The second, a young man who, lust
at the dawning of useful life, strong
and vigorous, was touched by the
finger of death and passed away to
his reward. He was faithful and ear
nest in his work and a true and de-
voted friend of childhood; that a copy
of these resolutions be spread upon
the records of our County Institute
and published in the county papers.
