This is an age of organization. Per-
pie are getting together. Great national
educational conventions. are frequent
with State gatherings and institutes.

1t is IL good idea to get in contact with
bright minds. The teachers life is often
"a lonely one and needs the stimulus of
comradeship. The speaker thought that
from this standpoint the institute must
prove productive of great good. He CON
graduated the teachers upon their occu-
patton in this county. for, if there WAS
anything in environment, the hills. val
Teys and other striking features of Cecil
should furnish inspiration. The student
Mt Tome had an advantage yielded by
the natural beauties of its location. The
very landscapes that met the eyes of our
children going to and from their ~rhoo,s
were in themselves inspiring.
Our public school system is the child
IF the State and the ward of the Nation.
No holder step wglS ever taken under our
political system than the plOpr~7ll To
found our free public schools ut public
expense. The cost of education with uS
is greater than that Of the combined
mvitrs of England. France and Germany.
Better to build men than wtlr<hip> for in
building men the State is building Il
stronger power fur her defense. The
quality of our future citizens will de-
pend upon the quality of the training
given to our children, ana the power vi
