F.nrrou :?The suggestions, or plans of Mr. McMahan, State Supt. of Kducation, for holding State and County Institutes during the Summer, should meet with the hearty endorsement and co-op. oration of every friend of education in this State. lie proposes to hold a teachers' institute of four weeks duration in each county. It is expected that the State board of education will reijuirc every teacher in the public schools to attend these institutes, a certiiicaU* of such attendance being a necessary <pialilicalion to teach in the public schools. This is a step in the right direetion, but the majority of our teachers are not able to pay hoard and other necessary expenses to enable them to attend such an in. stitute. To remedy thisdifliculty 1 respectfully suggest that our County Supt. of Kducation call a meeting of all the trustees m this county to be held at Lancaster ('. 11. on the lirst Monday in .June to devise ways and means whereby such an attendance may be sceur- ; ed. And I would fur? her Suggest as one way to meet the ditliculty ind to enforce the attendance of me iciU'lu'rs lhi'1 their salaries he raised. The salaries fur tir.-t grade certificate.- are too low already, tind the people cannot expect lirst idass work at such prices. It is poor pay, poor preach?ami that will hold good throughout every line of work. Let us then give new life and impetus to this important work by increasing the pay of these patient and long suffering laborars and ret pi ire them to perfectly equip themselves for this all important work. In addition to the county insti lutes Mr MeMahan expects to have a Normal School at Winthrop L'olhge for four weeks for the hcnelit of graded school teachers and others. Let all the teachers, both of the public schools and the graded schools, be required to attend this school. The expenses will not exceed $1:3 for board for four weeks. There is nothing within my observation and knowledge, and I have been a trustee of some kind >f school for 25 years or more, that needs attention and encouragement as much as the public schools. (I will except the public :oads, for they are a disgrace to be civilization of any age of our ountry, but more a on upon this nibjeet. > For the present let us direct our ittentiou to co operation with our vorthv State Superintendent of Education in the development and jrowth of our puhlic school syseni.
