TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE ECHOES.
Scntlmentft of the Tcnchcm Cnuglit on the
Fly ami Tltronicli the Mall.
The teachers of Berrien, Colquitt,
Irwin, Lowndes and Worth counties,
who attended the Annual Institute
at Tifton are laudatory in their praise
of Tifton, indeed everything con
nected with the week’s session.
If 1
All of Worth’s teachers that at
tended the Teachers Institute, ut Tif-
ton, came home full*of praise of their
treatment by the people of Tifton,
and tiie benefit they received from
the Institute, which they pronounco
to be the only thoroughly successful
one they have uttended.—Local.
If If
A Worth county teacher was over
heard to say that the Institute at
Tifton was of more practical value
to the teachers than all three of the
sessions held at Albany combined.
The experts selected were better
adapted to institute woik among our
country teachers, being men who
have practical knowledge of country
school teaching.
. 1 If
The tenehers in attendance not bene-
fitted by the exercises of the institute
were those who just stayed long
enough to register their names and
then went home.
If If
Gov. Northen and Commissioner
Brad well were both well pleased with
the accomplishments of the annual
teachers’ institute held at Tifton and
were delighted when the body voted
to make Tifton the permanent home
of the annual institutes for the five
counties represented and such others
as would join them.
1 If
A Lowndes county teacher said the
visit to Cycloncta experimental farm
was worth more to him than the cost
of his attendance upon the institute.
1 If
An Irwin county teacher writes:
“I am one of the number from Irwin
county nnd was highly pleased witli
the meeting, and can say that we, as
a body, felt under many obligation to
tiie people of Tifton and vicinage for
the kind hospitality received ut their
bunds. 1 am sure that not a teacher
who was present will ever regret hav
ing gone.” i
1 If
A Colquitt county teacher says:
“I came to the Institute because it
was compulsory—I was prejudiced
against them—bill I go away feeling
that my attendence has been time and
money well spent. I go home more
in love with tiie profession of teach
ing, pleased with tiie benefits to be
derived from institute work and with
a strong determination to attend the
session next year if I possibly can.”
‘l 1
Prof. E. C. Merry, of Atlantigsaid:
“I have heard so mnehof south Geor
gia and particularly of progressive
Berrien county—one of the few in
Georgia where the teachers have re
tained the monthly institutes since
the repeul of the law establishing
them—that I was glad when Commis
sioner Bradwell asked me to come
down here as a substitute to I’rof.
I .aw to n 13. Evans, who had been se
lected us oue of the instructors. My
brightest anticipations have been rea
lized,, and I shall be giad of an op
portunity to come again.
T 1
Prof. M. B. I’utten, of Willacoochee
arrived Thursday morning and was
glad of the opportunity of hearing
Gov. Northcn’s address, Hnd believes
the teachers of Coffee comity will
join the combination next vesr.

Prof. J. M. Uniliiamc, of Jasper,
Fla., here as an expert,, said ho hud
attended many institutes us instructor
and could conscientiously say that
the one at Tifton was the pleasantest
of them all.
IT IT
Commissioner Zunt regretted that
there was so few of the white teach
ers of Lowndes county in attendance.
It will not be so another year, when
they come to realize wlmt they have
lost- I have been benefitted, edified,
myself and 1 believe the teachers pres
ent from my county have been and
will be glad to come again next year.
H 1
Prof. Smith, representative of the
Valdosta Times, arrived at the twelfth
hour; but lie was in time to express
his congratulations and to escort the
fair young teachers of Lowndes coun
ty back to their homes.

As far as the Gazette could as

OUR MIDSUMMER FAIR
Given n Good Semi Off by Hie Old Hell a*
ble Macnti Telefcriipli.
The next fair will be open on July
10th.
This has only been decided on in
thelast, day or two and this announce
ment will no doubt carry with it great
surprise.
But it will not be the” Dixie Inter
state Fuir, but one that will serve to
give the people of this section a fore
taste of tiie pleasures to *be had at,
Georgia’s big exposition next fall.
It will be a midsummer fair and
will be open at Tifton by the enter
prising people of Berrien, Worth and
Irwin counties, on or about the date
mentioned. The people of these and
other counties adjacent are united in
their purpose and will make a show
ing that will be the marvel of the
good country folks round about and
equally asnrprise to their city cousins.
There will be exhibited at this fair
a magnificent display of pencils,pears
plums, grapes unu all kinds of vege
tables and grain. In fact, it will bo
a represeimtive exhibit of the prod
ucts of these rich counties, with, of
course, a ladies’ handiwork depart
ment attached.
This section of Geoigfn around
Tifton is more happily situated in the
matter of its fruit crop than almost
any other fruit section. The big
freeze of the late spring did not lay
waste the young fruit as in many
other localities, and there will be, it
is understood from authorities down
there, an nvalauehe of fruit for mak
ing the finest exhibit in this part of
Georgia.
A building in shape of a Maltese
cross, 40x80 feet, is being erected now
in which the display of fruits will be
made. So it can bo seen that (lie en
terprising people are not going to be
meagre about their preparations for
the event. They never do things that
way and there is every reason to ex
pect a grand success of this under
taking.
A large number of people at the
North who during their visit South
have become interested in fruit cult
ure will be given special rates and
invitations and it is expected that sev
eral large parties will take advantage
of the low excursion to visit, the fair
and look into the possibilities of south
Georgia’s resources.
The people of the surrounding
country will, of course, attend in large
numbers, and altogether it. promises
to be a splendid success.

The death of Mr. J. II. C. Morris,

The race for state senator, in the

that Vuldostu politicians arc writing

will be acceptable to Lowndes county;
in other words, trying to dictate the
man. If this be true, it will act its it

The TciicIici'k’ Institute.
Prof. A. Q. Moody, of Boston, Go.,
one of the most, eminent mid practi
cal educators of the state, makes the
following strong plea in behalf of
teachers institutes and the laws under
which they operate:
“In the first place, the law, which
created the institute, makes it ob/i
gatory on every teacher to attend,un
less providentially hindered, under
penalty of it fine or even forfeiture of
his license, all in the discretion of
the County Board of Education. But
there iB a better and higher reason.
“Teachers, as in all other profes
sions, should be especially trained for
the work they have to do. There are
no special training schools for teach
ers in Georgia, and these County in
stitntes, as far ub they go, are intend
ed to take the place of normal training.
“To say that teachers cannot be
benefitted by attending the institutes
is to ussert that the younger teachers
can receive no improvement from the
combined wisdom and experience of
those who have made the art of sne-
eessful teaching the business of life.
“That some are not profited by their
attendance, must bn admitted, but
they belong to that class of teachers
who feel no interest in their profes
sion outside of the mere money con
sideration nttached to it. iSueh teach
ers belong to the profession, but they
have no business in it.
