The Institute met on Sa'urday, The commissioner presided :A splen did paper on orthography was read by Miss Elia Pound. Some of the teachers seem to think that they can absent themselves with impunity, be cause of the lameness of ihe law in imposing fines upon absentees. We think how’ever that teachers should attend, w hen not providentially pre vented, as a matter of respect to tnose in charge of the school interest of the state, even though they feel that they are per fect and finished, and cannot learn any more, By reason of this apa thy several had to be substituted and spoke without preparation, but they handled their subjects well. Among those speaking were Profs. Cornwell and Thompson. Prof Maddox made a good talk on science and practice, and Miss Rosa Thornton did exceptionally well on Geography. The teachers are unan imously opposed to the school law now pending before the Georgia leg islature.
