The County Institute closed
last Friday at noon, and the
teachers hurried away to their
homes to be in readiness for their

was unusually good, and was well
patronized. While the day in

tical, there seemed TO be a feeling

the instructors, and too little to
the teachers for conference, and
opportunity for expressions OF
