V. schools, attended the Railroad township institute at San Pierre last Saturday. As a sequel the.president of the institute with the consent of the institute, called on Prot. Robert for an extemporaneous speech to which he resj onded in the following language. (These are not the exact words but they convey the meaning.) "Fellow workers in the cause of juvinile cultivation: Allow me the unbounded pleasure of compimentiug you upon the excellency of your sentiments, as expressed collectively and individually in this your last institute. We, as teachers, should entertain and express the highest thoughts possible and, like Daniel Boone, cut a path through the vale of ignorance into the Caanau of perfect wisdom. While cutting this path we, have to fight the Indians of opposition «nd the wild beasts of unfavorable comment, but, if we have Job like patience, we can conduct our flocks along the grassy banks of still waters of instilled wisdom. During our career as teachers we are sometimes forced to resort to sack cloth and ashes, but after these seasons of humiliation ar» passed and we have extracted the ashes front our hair we happily exclaim, Eureka! Eureka!"
