Teachers Institute.

county began in the study room OF Shep-
herd College Monday morning, with over
a hundred teachers in attendance, and
with County Superintendent E. D. Turn
er in charge. Prof. Thos. {. Miller,
principal of Shepherd College, conducted
the opening exercises and made appro-
pirate remarks concerning the work.
Prof. Miller then introduced DR.. Reed b.
Teitrick, Deputy Superintendent OF
Schools of Pennsylvania, who addressed
the teachers. DR.. Teitrick, who is the
instructor for the institute, had not talked
five minutes until he had won the inter
est and favor of the teachers en- maSSe,
and we think our county has never had a
better man to fill this position. He is
clear thinker, a concise pleasing speaker,
he has original ideas and the faculty OF
impreSsing his views upon his listeners,
nd is alto gether an able and satisfactory
instructor. After Dr. Teitrick had made
his very pleasant opening address, n. l..
SNYDER was called upon and extended
greetings to the teachers. The teachers
were then enrolled, and the regular work
of the institute was taken up. Miss Lucy
Beltzhoover was chosen secretary and
Miss Kate Chambers assistant secretary.
Monday afternoon Prof. Miller gave a
talk on school laws and school legislation,
and this was followed by round table
discussion on general topics.
Tuesday morning Mrs. Anna R. Bourne,
OF the faculty OF Bethany College, Beth
any, w. Va, assistant instructor OF the
institute, was introduced and made her
first talk TO the teachers. Mrs. Bourne
is an earnest educator and presents her
subjects in the most pleasing and inter
esting manner. She discussed English
literature, and urged the teachers to re-
alize the value OF thorough work in COM
position, spelling and grammar. Another
topic well presented by the Mrs. Bourne
was that of placing things spiritual above
things material, and she also gave notes
on the methods of attendance upon Ger
man schools.
DR.. Teitrick led discussions upon a
number OF pertinent topics, including "A
law ofteaching'' and Effective teachers. ="
Tuesday evening the teachers were
entertained by delightful concert in the
auditorium given by Mr.. Arthur Conrad,
violinist, and Mr.. Austen Conradi, pianist,
of Baltimore.

phases of school work, the topics being
presented by DR.. TeitriCk and Mrs.
