Mr.. Il Ernesti has shown himself en-
tirely worthy of all commentator re-
ceived heretofore and deserves much
more than we, in this brief article, can
express He has proven himself real
artist showing the correlation Of art
with every branch OF school WORK, the
influence Of art in the home; its aid in
the development of character and that
it is positive force in leading to the
higher, nobler and purer planes of life.
He has surprised both his friends and
himself with his rcsourcefulness as n
conductor, and by his cheerful, buoyant
enthusiasm has inspired in us the real
motive of teachers institute.
MIR. V. 4. Morley. in his broad def
mite way has shown himself amply able
to handle the subjects Of history, arith-
metic, science and music. He has been
a help and an inspiration to us in his
method Of presentation in all these
branches, and made us feel that we, in
turn. are better able to give the best
we have to our pupils.
Miss Ladd. as instructor of the pri-
mary, elementary and industrial work,
has shown us methods and ways in
which to teach so as TO make the work
helpful and interesting to all. BY her
enthusiasm she has inspired US TO use
the suggestions offered, and shown how
capable an instructor she is by the
splendid work done at this institute.
She has taught us that cheerfulness
and sunny disposition are indispen-
sible in securing that ease and freedom
so necessary in all true teaching
