A Splendid Success.

The Best County Institute ever Held The Jasper county Annual Teachers Institute opened Monday morning in the Rensselaer public school building. The attendance the first day was 112 and this increased the next day to 120. Encouraging as is this great, almost universal attendance of the teachers of the county, more encouraging still is the keen and intelligent interest shown by all of them, almost without exception, in the work of the Institute and in the cause of advanced common school education in general. Tire county superintendent has again been very successful in the instructors he has secured for the Institute. Mrs. Fannie Burt, teacher of the primary model school in the State Normal, and perhaps the ablest exponent of the best methods of primary instruction in the state, is present during the entire session. Prof. Parson, president of the State Normal, was present Monday and Tuesday, and most profitably occupied the greater portion of the days. Prof. S. S. Parr, Principal of the Normal department of DePauw University, came yesterday and will remain until the close. State Superintendent Holcombe was also present on Wednesday. The evenings also have been and will continue to be most profitably occupied. On Monday evening the Annual Teachers Be-un-ion was held. Tuesday evening Prof. Parsons lectured on the subject of Shakespeare. Mr. Holcombe lectured on Wednesday night, and for the remainder of the week, Prof. David S. Jordan, president of the State University, will lecture on Thursday night and Prof. 8. S. Carr on Friday night.
