Roll of Teachers Institute in Els
worth Seventy-five Years Ago.
An interesting booklet has been re-
ceived at The American office. IL is
catalogue of Hancock county
teachers institute held at ELLSWORTH
in November, 1850. The pamphlet IS
of interest to a printer as sample OF
the art in vogue in those days, as the
cover is embellished with an orna-
mental border and many scrolls and
f1ourishes.
But aside from this, it will be or
interest to many of the older resi-
dents of Ellsworth because OF the
roll officers of the institute, and
teachers, with the terms of service
| of teachers by months. Some OF
these will recall school days to Han
cock county men and women now
! past their four score years.
| Heading the list in terms Of SER
vice is the name of Martha M. Jelll-
son of Ellsworth, who had taught
1876 months of school. Miss Jelllson
for many years, and for some time
after the date of this institute, taught
a private school on Hancock street,
where Mrs. Merriam's store is now
| located.
