Editor HacoaLli ax binr Sir t There seems lo be a great many persons who do not fully un derstand tbe law relating to tbe managemtut of County Institutes, and for tht bineUt ol' all such 1 ask space lor the following explanation. The law makes It binding upon (be Superintendent te bold these Conventions annually and embowers bin with the entire management : therefore, be is personally responsible tut Ita success or lailure, financially and otherwise. In order that these meet logs may be made profitable to teaobers, It Is neoesicry to employ lecturers and instructors of ability : and this can only be dene at ao enor mous eipenae. In view of Ihia fact the Legisla ture, In making the law, made due provision for meeting tb expenses Incurred in eondutllng thtet Uonvenliotii. At the adjournment of tbt County I a tli tut o, tbe County Superinltudent it required by law le make a oer tilled statement ol all re ceipts and expenditures to the County Treasurer, who Is required to pay Immediately $1 for every teteher who attended the Institute three days. tht appropriation in no tn stance to exceed f alio, nor lest than friO. That la: If five hundred teachers were la attendance three days, tbe ap propriation could not exceed $ltuo, aod if but ten tea her attended it tould not be Iks than $bU. The County Superintendent, however, can re ceive none of th.t until he presents to tht County Treasortr an lltmiied statement of all receipts and expenditures with legal vouchers for all tht moneys expended. Then ht can draw such a part of the appropriation as shall bt necessary to meet the expenses of Ihe Institute. His ac count are passed upon "by tbt Auditors of tbt Couoty tn like manner as other county expendi tures. " In 1878 1 held my first County Inatitute, at which I secured aa attendance of two huadred teachers. At ita close I found Its financial man agement bad been se litlsfactory aa to enable ua to publish the proceeding in pamphlet form. T beret ore lOOOcopie were printed and aiatributtd, bring tht Art time it waserer done in tbt county. Thta ilooo cost over f IKO, and to do this it be came necessary to draw 6i percent of tbe appro priation. In 1870, we were again suooesiful lo the finan cial mapagetnent of tht Inatitute. We met all expensea, published and distributed 100(1 enpie of the pamphlet proceed in gs at a ws of $130, and left ia the County Treasury $Hd of Ibe ap propriation to which the Inatitute waa entitled. Ihe Inatitute held last month, for the year 16HD, ooat $500. Owing to Ihe tact that tbt pro-: luga are io auch a Irarmentary shine that It will be Impossible to publish them in pamphlet form that amount is saved to tbe county, aad but $4U of tbe $200 due the Institute has been drawn, i The County Institute! have been, aa every per- i aon la aware, gradually increasing inefficiency and ussfulnese. We have endeavored to improve (bum la every department, and aa they i no re a at expense and power, tbtir cost lo tbe County ! diminishes, which we venture to say does not oc cur in any other county In tbe State. I lo conclusion let me sav that the Institute of: 1S78, lt7 W and I80 ooat over $l,:iOH, l nder the of tbe State, they were entitled tn fU0 aid from the County. Of that so only $.U3 have beta drawn, aod 1248 given to th County ea a gift. The County loatiluta ia tht oaly ortanita- i tioa that doea oot draw from the County all that it la entitled to. Agricultural Filre get their full tppropriatien, tbe Judges ef our Courts draw tbalr enormous salaries in full ; and yet Ibe liber al ity oi tne county institute Is scarcely recogn lied . We have glvon the above Information tor the benefit of all who do not understand the require ments of the school law, cod to reoogait in tmi measure tbe icneroui help that has bee accorded us by tbe people, which, is conjunction wivh tbe earnesi worn ot a noble class or uacbers aod di rectors, baa plaoe J our Couoty Institute on tbe highest plant of excellence.
