\ Secondly, Be it resolved that we,
as a body of teachers, regret to a
marked degree that Supt. H. H. Err
rett is serving his last session in our
Institute as County Superintendent,
and that we as a body tender him
our thanks as token of our appre-

field of service.
Be it resolved that to Conductor
Hofer we tender our thanks for his
strong and fOrceful personality and

may come to Union County many

would-be teacher.

eventually bring 10 pass the univer-
