TEACHERS' INSTITUTES—Five Teachers' [f Institutes will be held in various sections of the i \unity during the ensuing autumn. The first one to com mence on Monday, Sept. 17, on Orwell Hill. The others will l>e at Smithfield, Troy, Towanda and Terrytown.— The times, Ac., will be announced by circulars sent to the directors of the several townships. All the teachers and all young persons intending to be come teachers are earnestly solicited to attend during the w hole session. It is hoped that directors and otherslnte* n-tcd in the elevation of our common schools, will urge upon teachers the importance of embracing this opportu nity for improvement. The only expense will be for lioard. the last day of the session will lie devoted to the exa mination of teachers. If any have not been in attendance during the session, they will lie expected to present them selves for inspection oh that day precisely at 10 o'clock, A. M. Will directors see to this'matter. that none of their teachers may lie fonnd the coming year without certifi cates. The exercises during the day will be drills upon the several branches required by law to be taught in our schools, and occasionally recitations in some more ad vanced studies if circumstances seem to require it. The evenings will lx- spent in listening to lectures and discus sions upon matters connected with the business of teach ing. Teachers are requested to provide themselves with the following articles, viz —Town's Speller, Sander's Fifth Reader, ati intellectual Arithmetic, Written Arith metic, an English Grammar. Memorandum book, writing paper, pens. ink. and slates ; and those who are singers wiil do well to bring with tlieiu their music books. Although the Institute is especially for Teachers, it is not exclusive. All are invited to attend, and all shall lie made welcome, whenever it may be convenient to spend an hour or a day with us. It may be well to say that it will lie a favorable opportunity for Directors to employ tiieir Teachers. Especially is it desirable for Directors to l.c present on the las/ day. It is confidently expected that the friends of education will render all possible assistance in this enterprise. August 4, 1857. C. R. COBI'BX. Xcui SVbncrtiscmcnts.
