Resolutions Of Adair County Teach.
erS' Institute.

We, the teachers of Adair county in
institute assembled, beg leave to sub
nit the following as the resolutions of
this institute:
Resolved, That we extend to Miss
Pearl Hindman, County Superintend-
ent, our sincere thanks for her faithful
and Jealous efforts to make this one of
the most instructive and successful in
stitutes our county has ever held, and
express TO her our appreciation of her
good judgment in securing the services
of such able instructors as Profs. Alex
ander and Craig of Bowling Green, KY.
Resolved, That we express to these
worthy gentlemen our appreciation of
their ability as instructors, recognizing
in them educators having few equals,
and extend to them our thanks for the
able discussions and successful efforts
in our behalf.
Resolved, That we tender to Prof.
Dickey, of Bowling Green, our thanks
for his inspiring talks in our institute.
Resolved, That we express our thanks
to Messrs. Walker Bryant ard Gordon
Montgomery for the refreshing lemon
ade furnished to the institute Wednes-
day afternoon, and to Mr.. J. o. Russell
for furnishing lights; to Prof. Nelson
& Moss for the use of their building; to
Mrs. Sam Breeding for the use of her
organ; also to Bros. Currie and Tally
for their earnest and inspiring talks,
and all visitors for their presence and
cooperation.
Resolved, That the teachers of Adair
county heartily endorse the splendid
work being done for the teachers of
Kentucky in Eastern and Western Ken
lucky State Normal Schools and State
University, and that we urge the teach
ers of our county to take advantage of
the opportunities offered by these
schools to better prepare themselves
for the work before them.
Resolved, That we are greatly pleas
ed with the working of the Sullivan or
New School Law and that we pledge
ourselves in our work in our several
districts this winter to make such ex-
PLANTATION and discussions of it as will
lead to its greneral popularization.
Resolved, That it is our opinion that
the course of study in the County High
Schools should be so planned and given
that it will lead to more practical re-
suits in the County, and that we recon-
mend that at the earliest possible time
the subjects of Elementary Agriculture
and Domestic Economy be added to the
course.
Resolved, That this institute believes
that the present policy of Division
Boards in requiring teachers to teach
studies not including in the Common
School Curriculum is bad policy and a
serious infringement upon the rights of
the Primary Grades, and that this in
stitute takes this means of calling their
attention to this matter, and that
should they require Nhigher branches
taught, they should also furnish an as
sistant to such schools.
Resolved. That we.favor such I'M
ion of institutes as will better enable
the counties to obtain more able in
stractors and facilitate more extern
sive acquaintance and interchanging of
ideas between teachers of the various
sections of the State.
Resolved, That copy of these reso.
lutions be furnished to our County pa
per and the Southern School Journal
with the request to publish.
