2 The school law requires that 1
teachers' institute shall be held in each
county once a year at least.
3 The school law provides that teacher?
who absent themselves without good
reason frnu their county institute may
have their standing iu ''Practice ol
Teaching" lowered.
4 Teachers who absent themselves
from the institute of their oounty with
out sufficient cause certainly show want
of professional spirit, and zeal and indeed
deserve censure a live aud worthy
teacher will attend if possible.
5 Ti-ashtrs institutes it is generally
conccedod are productive of highly
buticficul results and supply a need
which could no other way be met
Who will say that the members of the
irades and of the profession are not
materially benefited by their respec
livo couventions?
6 Wilcox is for very many rcasoni"
the proper place at which to hold the
'ustitute this year. It contains every
nece.isary convenience for a conventi.)ii
of teachers I. arse School House
Large Hotel at which members of the
institute will be kept for $1,00 per day
Lurgo hearted people who will ore for
teacheri fne of charira. The iustitutc
has been convened repeatedly at Cen
treville, St. Marjs and Ridgway but it
never lias been held at Wilcox and
Wilcox has always contributed largely
towards the success of institutes. Wil
cox too is couvenieotlv situated ss it is
only fourteen miles fimu Ridgway and
the fare by eccunioa ticket will be
only two cents isr euile.
7 We are informed that all teaobers
who attend tbe iaetitute ftithlully will
be paid as if they mera teaching whioh
will amount to about eevou hundred
dollars on ihe agurcg.itc.
8 Teachers who are not yet licensed
will please piesent themselves for ex
animation at the lUAtitute. ibere are
teachers iu this eounly who posse's very
'Hale stock in trade" and if they are
not faithful to these great meaas of iiu-
rrovement their risht to a teachers eer-
tiGcute will bs rigidly questioned.
9 Teachers, it. is yuur institute and
will you not support your otcn interest!
You are paid on an average about tro
dollais per week each and where tin
district presents each of you with ten
(hA'ars and your time, aud where raii
roads carry you at cheap rates and
hotels keep ym at bait prioe, and tin
very best lecturers are provided and
every nerve strains i to make it cheap
profitable aud pleasant fop you all why
will you not attend? Iu consideration
of the facts that we must bave an in
stitute, that our teachers need the in
struction to be receivcJ at an institute,
that the cost which is heavy couieo
from the tax payers, we claim thai
teachers are uol professionally faithful
or true to the best interests of all con
cerned wheu they do not carefully aud
gratelully appropriate their iustitutts
(gifts) to their use.
