The teachers of Hancock county last Friday closed what was perhaps the most ipgtjructive and successful institute ever lpl# In the city. To our efficient county Superintendent this is largely owiug. To the teachers the omission of. those oldtime relics, the reading of the secretary's report and the adoption of along list of ''resolutions," of no earthly use except tp ftte some persons a good deal of work qnd some others a good deal of pain .was very welcome. Hancock county should pride herself in having as superintendent a man who believes in getting out of the •'ruts."

Hancock county has as good a corps of teachers In as good a county, in as good a State as any in this good country. This means that we will have good schools. Now let the patrons and all good people interest themselves in a work of so much Importance to them. The children will follow. Let the patrons put their shoulders to the wheel. The teachers are already there.
