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.
