Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 September 1903 — TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. [ARTICLE]

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

Rensselaer has been enjoying the presence of a fine looking lot of lady and gentleman teachers this week, who are attending institute. We doubt if any county in the state could produce a handsomer, better dressed, more lady like or more gentlemanly lot of teachers than these. The nights have been exceptionably fine for them to pair off in prominades about the city, and no one but the man in the moon was looking. The attendance at the institute has been good and much interest has been shown. A reception and banquet was given the teachers by Supt. Hamilton at the court house Monday evening. Thursday the male teachers crossed bats with the Rensselaer clerks but the latter were to much for the pedagogues; score 13 to 12. The teachers claim they run in some fresh men toward the last of the game, otherwise the score would would have been different. Yesterday was the close of the session and most of the teachers departed for their homes.
