During the Institute it was voted I'M
animously to make a trip in private
coaches starting from Hartford October
Il, 1911, visiting the city schools at Lou
isville, the Mammoth Cave, and the
Western Kentucky State Normal School
at Bowling Green. The duration of the
trip will be four days, viz, one day in
Louisville, one day a. Mammoth Cave, one
day at Bowling Green, and one day In
travel. The cost of the entire trip, in
Guiding all necessary expenses, will be
eleven dollars, and it is expected that
at least two hundred persons, including
Ohio county teachers and trustees, will,
avail themselves OF the benefits to be-
derived from the trip. This will be the
first trip of the kind ever undertaken
in Kentucky, or anywhere else as far as
known, and it was arranged for 10y Judge
John Il. Wilson, who, so far has had
entire charge of the preliminary arrange

OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER.

OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER.
Marvin Miller was born and reared
In Ohio county, Kentucky, near Hart
ford, and received his education in the
country schools and at Hartford College.
He learned shorthand when a boy, and
after finishing school has devoted his
time almost exclusively to the profess
- having taught a part of this time
In the Greensboro School of Shorthand
and the Hartford College and Business
Institute. For the past twelve years
he has followed shorthand work exclu-
sively, six years of which time was spent
In the railroad service in the South and
West. For several years he has held
the position of Court Reporter for the
Sixth judicial District, being the first
stenographer ever appointed by the
court for the entire Judicial District.
His duties are such that it is necessary
to have an assistant in order to keep
up with the work.

OHIO COUNTY
TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Ohio County Teachers Institute,
Hartford, August 2sth to September list
inclusive, was one of the most interest
ing and instructive ever held in the
county 1t was attended by practically
every teacher in the county, and all
showed the keenest interest in the
various proceedings. AS a full report
of the Institute is shortly to be pub
lished in booklet form we touch the
subject but lightly in this edition. We

teachers, a history, or more properly
speaking a letter, from Professor W. u.
Stewart of Rosine, one of the Oldest, If
not the Oldest teacher in Ohio county
to day.
The public schools in Ohio county
We're organized in 1850 Prior to that
date there were very few schools of
any kind in rural districts and there
were laISe per cent VI iilteiaCy All
the county. In 1850 a law went into eff
feet to lay the county off into school
districts and to elect trustees in each
district.
The f1scal court elected Mr.. Harri-
son Taylor school commissioner. He had
the county districted and trustees elect
ed in all of them and there Were schools
taught in most of them, i'm some of
them by very poorly qualified teachers
and the most of them in old delapidated
houses, but it was the best that could
be done. There was not much change
in the school system until 1870. At that
time the school laws We're improved

and the per capita was raised from 20
cents to nearly 500, the school term
heightened from months to five months
The standard of the qualification Of the
ments put new life in our school sys-
tenn. In the year OF 1870 the first Insti-
tute convened at Hartford. Mr.. Frank
Gregory was commissioner and Prof.
Town instructor. There has been lnstl-
tute held in the county every year since.
Some times we had an instructor from
some other county and some times
they We're run by the teachers of the
county. In 1875 we had an institute of
two weeks. 1t was run on the order
of a normal We had DIR. Rennols from
Louisville with us; he had charge of
reading and spelling. Mir. Gregory taught
arithmetic, Prof. Haynes grammar and
Prof. Hockens history. We had a nice
time and l think it was of great benefit
to the teacher. For there were very
lew VI US Nildl Idu llttu any PipAtSSioilHl

in that institute than any that l ever
