Baker and Floyd Baer, Remington town schools; Fred Tyler, Marion township; Dewey Nelson, Oscar Beasey, Carpenter township; Robert Smalley, Newton townsnip; R. A. Conn, Wheatfield township. Jasper county has fewer men teachers to its credit this year than since the days of the Civil war. State Superintendent Horace B. Ellis will be one of the instructors in a joint county-township institute to be held at Rensselaer on the third Saturday in October. Mrs. Kelsey will be here also, and will bring a promine’nt teacher in the city schools of Indianapolis with her to assist her in solving tlje many problems that primary teachers arid rural" teachers will offer for her solution. Mrs. Kelsey certainly has the interest of tne Jasper~county teachers at heart, as . she offered her services gratis on this very important day. But it is likely that she will be allowed car fare and locals for that day. The following township institutes were held last Saturday: Carpenter, at Trustee Porter’s office; Jordan, at Neverfail; Newton-Marion, at Rensselaer; Hanging Grove-Milroy, at Lone Star In Milroy township; Barkley, at Center; •Union, at Fair Oaks; Walker, at Walker Center; Keener, Wheatfield, Kankakee and Wheatfield town, at DeMotte. The primary object in holding so many township institutes on this particular Saturday was to assist the beginners after they had been teaching for two weeks. The secretary for the Jordan township Institute sent in the following report: "The first Jordan township institute was held last Saturday at Neverfail school. All teachers’ and Trustee Kolhoff were present. The enrollment in the four township schools totals 104 pupils. Egypt has 18; Blake 25; Neverfail 19; Union primary 20; Union,advanced 22.
