Resolutions Of Thanks.
At the close of this, the thirty-first
annual session of the Ellis county Nor
NAL Institute, the fourth and last under
the able management of the present
superintendent, VIM. Grabbe, it seems
we'll that some expression of apprecia-
ton should come from the teachers of
the county.
Therefore be it resolved that we, the
teachers of Ellis county and members
of the present institute, extend our
sincere thanks to Supt- Grabbe for the
earnest work he has done for the bet
terment of the schools of the county,
for the strong sympathy he has always
shown to the earnest teacher and for
the effort he has put forth to make
this the most successful and most pro-
fitable of all the Institutes SO far held
in the county.
To conductor B. E. Ford, we wish
also to extend our thanks for the able
manner in which he has made this our
largest institute, the most systematic
intensely practical and has secured the
best possible results.
We appreciate the thorough work
done by instructors L. r. Light and
Louis Christensen and thank them for
it.
We thank Principal Picken of the
w. K. S. N. for the freedom of the
school library and the Normal privi-
leges. v. A. Weigel, chairman.
