 Regular work was carried on in each of the, II departments of the teachers in stitute of Jefferson county during yes- terday. the second day. It was source of satisfaction to the conductors and the instructors that so little confusion has disturbed the routine work that must be crowded into five days and given to more than 1000 teachers
 Miss Kansas began instruction in cook ing yesterday morning, the kitchen at the high school being open to all teach CTS. AS classes were too large to permit each teacher to work, those who will teach cooking in their schools this winter were appointed demonstrators to work under Miss Hansis' direction while the others observed. Corn meal mullins were made yesterday. This work is a part Of the manual and household arts which are being emphasized in the institute. The sewing is in charge of Miss Rosser, nd the shop work of MT. Graves.
 A surprise came yesterday morning when Miss Hansis announced that MT. Pauley of the Birmingham branch of the Standard Oil company is authorized to give to each school teaching cooking one oil stove for use in that department. This is a boon to the schools, as some are not teaching cooking for lack of equipment an dat least one school is using q coal stove. r 4fas,- s.-s
