The Teachers’ Institute-

The Institute closed Friday at 4:35 P. m., without any resolutions or other unnecessary formalities. The last day’s sessions were made notable by two lectures by Dr. Dennis on Shakespearian subjects and two by Prof. Bohannon on Hygiene; and one by Dr. H. W. Johnson, of the State Normal, on “The Teacher Outside of the School Room,” ’ Thursday evening’s session was one of Unusual interest. Prof. Brown’s Picture Drawing lesson and and lecture were especially interesting and valuable. The musical features and the evening’s were also especially attractive. But the entire session of the Institute has been supplied with most excellent music in liberal measure, thanks to Superintendent Hamiton’s exertions. The entire enrollment of the Institute was 144, and this included every known teacher in the county except two. Notes from Thursday’s Dally. Prof. C. W.
