/ In q more learned manner than it
was at his hands. His discourse on
the subjects OF practical Child
Study, ''and "Tne Coming Teacher,
are deserving OF great credit, for
every word delivered by this worthy
educator was well weighed, and
went directly to the mark for whi b
1t was aimed.
The theme OF the work handled
by Mrs. Frances Kelsey was that OF
Reading. Although Mrs. Kelsey
Is an apt teacher in many other
branches, this particular subject
was chosen by her for this occasion
upon the grounds that all other sub.
Jects have their foundation in this
one art, and unless thoroughly
understood, they would necessarily
suffer as q result. Her exemplifica-
tions and talks we're very interest
ing, and as che is endowed with
that personal magnetism which

Instructor, quickly won the hearts
OF all who were privileged to listen
to her lectures.
During the different sessions,
vocal and instrumental selections
were rendered by members in
attendance and lent much to the en-
joyment OF the institute, and it was
with some degree of disappointment
that the final session closed Wed
nesday afternoon, and the teachers
returned to their respective schools.
Much credit is also due Com
missioner S. o. Clinton, who acted
in the capacity Of local committee
man, for the successful manner in
which the institute was conducted,
and who so ably assisted in carry

day-ne Sessions Attended Very interesting

One OF the most interesting and
important educational affairs which
has taken place In the county in
some time, was held this week at

presided at the various sessions.
There were about thirty teachers
In attendance. and o very remark.
able feature OF the institute was that
out OF all the corps of teachers
throughout the county, only four
we're absent, and the interest
manifested by those PRESENTS shown
from the fact that, with the excep-
tion of two instances, every name
enrolled answered to the call at
every session.
AS lack of space will not permit
going into detail concerning the
different talks, exemplifications and
addresses, we can only give o brief
outline of the work taken up.
Owing to the lateness of the traiC
Monday, the morning. session was
in part ommitted, but during the
afternoon the morning subjects were
treated in brief, thus eventuaily fol-
lowing the program as printed below
in almost every respect.
AS will be noted the speakers
selected one subject upon which to
base their discourses, viz: Mr..
Kaye devoted his energies to por-
traying "the teacher" in all her
phases. and it is safe to say that the
subject could not haye been treated
