Educational.

Teachers, of course your pupils will expect to be represented-at the fair. Don’t disappoint them and besides show your own public spirit by arranging for a creditable display of your work.

No examination at Rensselaer till the first Saturday in March. Don’t mistake the day. This is held particularly for the benefit of young teachers who expect to teach in the summer schools. It will also be a good opportunity for the ad~ vaneed pupils of the public schools to test their qualifications.

Several of the townships are arranging for a general good time at their last institute. They propose to close up their winter’s work with the best institute they have ever held, and go out with flags flying. Some of the closing ones will be held jointly, the teachers of two or more townships taking part in the exercises. In short they propose having an interesting, enjoyable time.
