INSTITUTE At FRIENDSVlLiE.
A Two Days Session Will be Held
Ian. IS and 20.

Under the auspices Of the Garrett
County Teachers Association, two
days institute will be held at Friends
vile on Friday and Saturday, January
% and 26. 1t is proposed to convene
the institute on Friday morning and
those teachers who attend this institute
will be allowed to close their schools
Friday without the loss of time, as it is
thought by being present at two-days'
session more information and knowl-
edge will be gained by the teacher than
at one day session, and that they will
return to their school rooms better
equipped for their duties.
An evening entertainment will be held
Friday evening, which will consist of
music, recitations, readings, etc., by the
scholars of the Friendsville school.
The following is the program for the
institute:

In connection with the above the fol-
lowing letter is published
To.the Teachers of Garrett County.
AtIaslocal institute held at Accident
recently, it was unanimously decided
that one-day Institutes did not give suf-
ficient time to discuss the important
subjects and arrive at safe and sound
conclusions as to a county system for
the operation Of our schools and the best
method of imparting instruction. At a
meeting of the School Board January
9, it was decided to hold two day insti-
tutes at Friendsville, Grantsville and
Oakland, and to pay all teachers who
attend for the Friday, but not the Sat
urday, on which said institute shall be
held. Teachers are urged to attend,
and are reminded that their oath Of Of
flee demands it of them. Unfortunately
our county is not an exception to the
misfortunes that ofttimes cripples the
/ best.nterestS Of the school. The cause
of these misfortunes can sometimes be
justly laid at the door of the trustees,
sometimes at that of the patrons and
sometimes at that of the teacher. or
! perhaps at that Of the higher officials.
| Westherefore cordially invite and earn
estly urge everybody to attend these in
/ stitutes and interest themselves in and
acquaint themselves with the law, the
/ systemi and the methods by which we
hope.to make our schools better and the
results.worth the cost. The first meet
ing will be held at Friendsville January
rs and 26, with special meeting on
| Friday evening. The institute for Oak
landIand Grantsville viii be announced
as soon as programs can be arranged.
1t is earnestly hoped that all friends
Of education will come to our meetings
come prepared to ask and discuss
questions.
These meetings will all be under the
auspices of the County Teachers Asso-
citation, and the evening session in the
hands of the school at which it is held.
