Ten school corporations made one hundred per cent of attendance of teachers at Satu. day’s institute. But ore teacher asked to be excused • from the work assigned him on the program. The first time, for years that the Geneva corporation made one hundred per cent of attendance of teachers at the De catur joint in titute. One hundred and four teachers of the one hundred and sixteen employed were in attendance at the institute. What’s the matter wijh Jefferson? Our school trustees spire no pains in rendering what assittance they can toward secuiinfr a good attendance at teacher’s institute ar.d their assistance h duly appreciated. The good results are manifested in much better institute work from those on duty, than m : ght otherwise be given Prof. Gleason's lecture abounded in many b-ight descriptions and vivid comparisons Since there were ro few teachers ab sent troin the joint institute, the list of absentees will make a much briefer report than the list of those in attendance; ’♦ hence, below will be found a list of lho-e teachers who were unavoidably (?) absent from the last institute: T. F. Galioglev, T. F. Golden, J. T. Kelley, Anna O’Donnell. Wm. M. Kerr, J. 11. Steele Laura Lhaman, Lissa French, John Dean, F. Reynolds, Ed Baumgartner, Ed J. Kinney.
