CLOSES

Of the teachers institute convened in
the circuit court room this morning
at the usual hour Almost the entire
enrolment remained throughout tho
session. which IS not at all ordinary,
as generally by dropping out frora
time to time nearly one-fourth are
gone by the close of the institute.
This good attendance is largely due
to the fact that the teachers have to
pay a fee of enrolment and should
they attend one institute part OF
the time and another the remainder
III would require two fees, and as 1t
is necessary that the teachers look to
the financial side of the question It
behooves them to remain at the one
Institute during the entire week. The
session this morning was opened up
by the usual and appropriate song by
the teachersS after which the devo-
tlonaI exercises were conducted by the
Rev DR. William Hudson. OF the First
Presbyterian Church. this city. After
the devotional exercises County Su~
perintendent Ogden announced thai
he would not grant certificate of full
attendance to those who had been
tardy at any time during the week.
This brought forth a spirited argu
ment among the teachers, which re
suited in an agreement that the mat
ter should be. left in the hands OF the
board of examiners, which will met
shortly after the noon hour.

duced and was to talk on legislative
appropriations. He stated that it had
been his aim to work for the benefit
and advancement Of the schools of the

Of the teachers expressed dissatisfac,
tion because the senator did not tell
what all he failed to do. but it was
supposed to have been universally un-
lerstood that the time allotted was en-
tlrely inadequate.
Mr. Harmer's speech was we'll re-
caived by the audience as y was.
