in every respect Splendid success
The conductors were> specialists and
all the work was presented in an ex-
callent manner that will enable the
teachers to do better work in their
schools. Special features of the in
stitute were demonstrations with the
corn planter, the use of the Babcosk
Milk Tester and the keeping Of the
Milk Sheet, testing of the soils in
the vicinity of Ladysmith. All sam
pies tested showed a slight acidity,
but not in any measure detrimental
to agricultural purposes.
Several samples of milk from V.
Y. Millers dairy were tested, and the
showing was very interesting in gem
eral Our thanks are due Mrs. Miller
for sending in the samples of milk.
Prof. Works of the University gave
very interesting talks on corn select
ing and testing; also on potato plant
ing and cultivation.
Prof. NJ H. Jackson did excellent
work in methods and devices Of
teaching the common school branch S.
Both he. and Prof. Works delivered
excellent lectures in the evening Of
the first day. The Senior girls Of
the upper department under the di-.
rection of Miss Nellie NJ Morrissey
gave several excellent vocal selce-
tions
Mr.. Burns and Miss Wi8htman al
SO. rendered valuable assistance all
through the sessions.
Nearly the entire corps Of teach
ers in the county were in attend
ance, with the exception of the Lady
smith city and the Tony Graded
schools. Several Of the city teachers
were with us during the evening ses-
sion
| wish to thank the various school
boards for closing their schools to al
low their teachers this excellent OPP
portunity for improving themselves
in their profession, and We are GER
tain that the districts will all be
greatly benefited for it. Without
these gatherings of our teachers in
these professional meetings, they
have very little opportunity for keep
ing abreast Of the educational move
ments of the day. The conductors
expressed them selves as much pl as d
with the strong sentiment and ear
nestness of our teachers in the work
in Rusk County.
