Propitious weather aided in bring.
ing large ATTENDANCE to the Pike
County Annual Institute which con.
vened here Monday. Then, too, to
look in the bright faces of the maid
dens who preside over the young
ideas in the county would impress
the beholder with the belief that a
desire for more information on their
part, determination to better fit
themselves for the important duties
of the school room, and an aspira.
tion to rise higher in their vocation
inspired their presence. The male
element among the teachers is large

a sweetly modulated voice, sang
two solos, and received generous
applause.
