Interesting Teachers
Institute.
Enrolment Largest in History Of
County.

Grantsville had as it's 6 tests
last week a large number of
blight, studious and earnest
ladies and gentlemen the teach
: ing profession of Calhoun County
in attenance upon the annual In
stitute. We wish that the par
ents of every school child in the
county could have seen the as
, sembly in order that they might
better know those to whom they
are entrusting the education of
the youth of this county. We
are sincere when we say that we
do not believe a body of more
earnest and industrious people
will be gathered together in West
Virginia this year. Nothing in
dicates the sincerity of the aims
of a body more than the atten-
ton paid to the work before it.
. Last week there were never
more than a half dozen absent
from the Courthouse while the
institute was in session and the
most marked attention was paid
to the instructors.
The Institute was opened
Monday morning by County
Superintendent Chenoweth, who
briefly explained the purpose of
the meeting and introduced the
instructors sent out by the de-
partment. Professors H. c.. Rob
ertSon, of the Charleston public
schools, and r. A. Riggs, Super.
intendent of the Welch schools.
. Orville Stalnaker, of Orma, and
Dallas Stutler, Of this place were
selected as secretaries for the
meeting. A committee consist
: ing Of d. E. Stutler, Lee Gamer,
Orville Stalnaker, c. j. Gamer,
A. B. hester and Hanning Po-
ling was appointed to draw up
suitable resolutions.
