Attention, Teachers.

We are sorry to state that only
two teachers out of seven in
Brush Creek township, attended
the institute at Oak Grove School,
Friday evening, Novemb ber 10,
1911. There seems to be a lack
of interest IN local institute work,
on the part of some of the teach
ers, which ought not to be. ls is
time that they waken up and get
busy along this line. We think
that no teacher can afford to miss
these Institutes.
