to be one of the most successful

tentively until he finished. DR.. j..

How to Care for the Teeth" He
made it very plain. Each teacher
should take what he said to their
schoolroom and impart the same to
their pupils just as he did to us.
He also spoke of the common dis

the sentiments of the entire body
when l say we feel very grateful to
these young doctors for their in
formation on such important sub
jects. Mr.. J T.. c, Long took for his
text: "The Reason Colored People
don't thRve in business is because
their race does not patronize
them. 1t was broad one, but
in his remarks he hit the nail on the
head. Mrs. Jessie Calhoun went
over the top on the subject: "Why
Teachers Change Places so Often?"
She discussed it from several sides
of life, first: for better salaries;
second: she classed them as the
itinerant teacher and third as the
teacher who made two draws
month. Draw your salary, and draw
your breath. 1.-THE subject was well
discussed by Mrs, Calhoun until
every one agreed there was huff
sed" even Prof. E. A. Adams refused
to respond. There were several good
papers read on broad subjects. The
Institute wish to thank Prof. and
Mrs. Bank for responding to the
call and letting T. G. Glee club
come and render several of their
sweet selections. The critics report
stated that good substantial work
was done by all teachers. Their CO.
operation was due to the courteous
conducor, Prof. j. d. Phillips, a ma
tive of our city and has lived such
a noble life until he was elected
to the chair unanimously. The critics
report also spoke of the opening
exercises supervised by Mrs. E.
Tucker (who showed rare ability
in that capacity was a treat to any
audience and was lead to believe
all the Florence nightingales and
Jane Adams are not dead nor far
distant among them may be men,

selected. Prof Bradley laid great
stress on the amen corner which

was suspended Thursday afternoon
and the Institute went in a body

for the Colored children of Tyler.
