Prof. Jones was decidedly in favor of
small boards elected at large.
During the six weeks that Mr.. Jones
has been IN Office, he has been flooded
with letters Of inquiry relative to the
meaning of certain parts Of the new
code. The much mooted question of
payment for institute attendance was
touched upon and the speaker stated
tnat such was the extent of the law
and quoted the decision of the attor-
ney general upon this point in which
the statement is made that ''whether
the schools are In session or not dur
ing the time that the institute Is in
session is immsterial. The question
of the kinds of certificates that shall
be issued was also considered, and be-
ginning with the first Saturday in Sep
tember all questions for county exam
commissioners Office. All teachers
who will take examinations ON and af-
ter that date will be examined in liter
ature. This means much to the schools
as the teacher who reads good litera-
ture and inspires others to do likewise,
is doing much to elevate the moral
tone OF the community in which he
lives. The speaker stated that many
selections that were heard by him dur
ing his youth have been of great value
to him. In closing his remarks of the
afternoon he stated that he didn t
doubt that the schools of this city and
county would chow the fruits of the
institute now in session.
DIR. Simpson had charge of the devo-
titonal exercises Thursday morning.
The Doctor is quite fsvorite with the
teachers throughout the county and
is recognized as being unusually inter-
ested in educational affairs. Particu-
larly do the teachers of the Bellefon-
tain city schools feel and appreciate his
interest.

enjoyed the sessions and are sorry that
the pleasures of the weeks stay are
so nearly ended. Bellefontaine

joyed their bright faces and their
cheerful manners Many new features
have entered the Institute this year to
lend novelty to the sessions New sub

ideas advanced have been thoroughly
discussed and new truths deeply i'm
pressed upon the teachers minds.

have the pleasure of knowing that they
have justly earned it aud if they get
no monetary compensation they viii
have been fully repaid by the things
they have seen and heard
