a modest and winsome manner before
their school and to avoid trying to
put on airs and assume to be superior
because of position. Try to be plain,
natural and sensible, aim to secure
the good will and confidence Of tho
pupils and then go ahead with your
work and success will crown your ef-
forts. At this time Prof. Deeg an.

of the institute was fine and every
teacher seemed to be Inspired with
a higher ideal of their profession. AS
Supt Coin said. II the teachers did
their work and brought results, the
taxpayers would not complain Of the
cost. The Superintendent also said
a cheap, tesoher was dear at any
price. Although the institute wat
small in numbers. the teachers said
