Teachers Institute.
MONDAY.
The annual session of the Teachers
Institute opened with a large num
ber of teachers present. Prof. J. D
Smith, principal of Martin Institute,
is the expert. Rev. H. F. Branham
led the opening prayer, and after a
few remarks from the county school
commissioner, Misses Kate Randolph
and Crawford Daniel were elected
secretaries. No other work except
that of organization was attempted
during the morning session.
In the afternoon several short
talks were made on school manage
ment. Judge Ross led the discussion,
and was followed by Messrs. Lord,
White, Foster, Hawkinß, and the
expert.
A motion was carried to have only
one session daily, lasting from 830
a. m. to lp.m.. Eastern time.
TUESDAY.
The first thing on the program
was Arithmetic, which was ably dis
cussed by Mr. Black and the expert.
Mr. Smith thought that the primary
grades should be taught without
a book, and insisted upon teaching
the larger boys such practical things
as measuring land and lumber. Mr.
Black gave several “don’ts” to teach.
Mr. Sharp illustrated his method
ot teaching Spelling on the black
board, and Mr. Smith threw a bou
quet at the old blue back, and fa
vored giving prizes for the most
head-rounds.
At recess Photographer Hower
made a picture of the teachers.
Mr. Moore read a letter from the
state school commissioner, stating
that there were five scholarships at
Peabody.
In reference to the examination
Saturday, he said that Arithmetic,
Geography, Physiology and Spelling
would come in the forenoon, and the
other subjects in the afternoon.
The county school commissioner
requested each school to send a rep
resentative to the declamation con
test at Gainesville next December.
At roll call a number responded
with quotations.
Messrs. Hood, Black and Lord
discussed History, and Miss Bonlah
Venable read a paper on How to
Teach Reading, and Miss Crawford
Daniel one on How to Secure the
Co-operation of Patrons. Miss An
nie Hawkins read another on How
to Gain Attention, and Mr. Ellis
White ended the program with a
short talk on English Grammar.
WEDNESDAY.
The county school commissioner
made a talk on Decimal Fractions,
and requested the teachers who
stand the examination Saturday to
be careful about the use of the deci
mal point.
Mr. Smith explained longitude
and time, and then took up percent
age.
Mrs. Berry read a paper on Geog
raphy, and was followed by Miss
Lollie Bull with one on English, and
Miss Mary Lou Cargill with another
on Reading.
After recess, Mr. J. F. Shannon,
representing the board cf education,
made a splendid talk. All the mem
bers of the board were present ex
cept Mr. Garrison, who was sick.
Mr. Shannon began by saying that
he had never taught, consequently
was one of those who knew just how
it ought to be done. He thought
Eng ißh the most important study,
for girls, and stressed the
importance of the teacher setting
a good example for his pupils. At
the olose of his ta’k he requested all
those who could do so to attend the
University Summer School at Athens.
Mr. Smith took up the rest of the
time with a very interesting lecture
on School Management.
The Institute so far has been very
instructive, aDd perhaps the largest
number of teachers are present that
have attended in several years.
Sheriff Stevens is authority for the
statement that the young ladies are
unusually goo I looking.
An educational rally will be held
some time daring the summer, and
all the schools will be suspended for
that day in order that the teachers
may attend.
Elocution Uecital.
This (Thursday) evening at the In
stitute ohapel, Miss Wallace of
Gainesville will give an elocution re
oital She is a graduate cf Brenau,
and has been connected with the
oratory department of that school for
several years. The music for the en
ter ainment will be furnished by the
Jefferson Cornet Band Admission
25 and 15 cents.
Georgia Teachers to be Examined.
Four thousand teachers of Geor
gia will be examined Saturday. That
day has been fixed by State School
Commissioner Merritt as the time
for the examination, and every coun
ty school commissioner in the 137
counties of the s ate will be ready at
7 30 o’clock next Saturday morning
to begin the examinations
The questions have been forward
ed by express to the commissioner*
this week, and will be in their hands
by tomorrow. Great secrecy is be
ng observed in handling the ques
tions, as for the past few years some
parties have secured copies in ad
vance and sold them for a considera
ble sum to those who were to take
the examinations.
Teachers whose license have ex-
Dired, and those who desire to be
come teachers, or teachers who want
a higher grade license, will take the
xamication. Commissioner Merritt
has been engaged in preparing the
questions for some time past. This
rear they are said to be exceedingly
difficult.
It will be several weeks before the
e-ults of the examinations are an
no nn ced.

University Summer School.
The Athens Daily Banner on Wed
nesday of last week issued one of the
handsomest special editions it has
been our p'easure to read in a long
time. I* was a “Souvenir Edition,
Georgia Uaiversity Summer School,”
which school opens in Athens July
1. and lasts until August 8 The
faculty of the Summer School will
consist of forty-four talented educa
tors, and it is expected that the
school will open with fully eight hun
dred teachers aB pupils.
Will Tou Help Us?
On account of the destruction of
the house of worship of Chestnut
Street Baptist church, and the great
demolition of property of many of
our strongest financial members by
the tornado, we make this appeal to
our brethren and friends that
pecuniary assistance would be very
much appreciated by our stricken
membership. We feel that, as al
most every one knows the situation,
no argument is needed to obtain the
assistance so much needed for the
Master’s cause.
Contributions may be sent to J C.
Otwell, pastor and chairman build
ing committee, or to Dr. J. A. Wynn,
pastor cf First church and chairman
assistant committee. Thanking you
in advance, I am, yours fraternally,
J. C. Otwell,

Death of Frank 0. Mays.
Frank 0. Mays, a well kaown
traveling salesman for a New York
house, died Friday morning at his
residence, 55 Garnett street. He
had been ill for several weeks.
The deceased is survived by a wife
and five children. The latter are
Rev. H. B. Mays, of HartweP; Percy

Miss Moiua Michael Becomes Matron in
Orphan Home.
Miss Moina Michael, of this place,
has accepted the position of matron
in the Baptist Orphan Home in Hape
ville, and left for that place Monday
to begin her work. Miss Michael
held this position a. few years ago,
and was so successful in the work
that the authorities of the home have
been endeavoring for some time to
induce her to accept the position
again.
Miss Michael is one of Monroe’s
most accmplished young women.
She has had wide experience as a
school teacher, and has always been
eminently successful in the manage
ment and training of children. She
is admirably fitted for the position
to which Bhe has been called, and will
doubtless accomplish much good in
the noble work of caring for the
orphan children.—Walton Tribune.
It is quite probable that Judge
Logan E Bleckley, ex-chief justice
of the subreme court of Georgia, and
one of the ablest lawyers in the state,
■vill soon remove his place cf resi
dence from Clarksville, where he has
lived for many years, to Athens.

Our Object and Our Plan.
Jt was the olj ct of the fouudrrs of the Southern Mutual L fe Insur
ance Assiciauon u devise and put into operation a plan of life innurat.ee that
would put this wise and popular means of providing for the support and
comfort of ones wife and dependent children alter he is dead, wnnm the
reach of ail cla ses of peoplt—those of small as well as those of large means,
mechanic, the farmer, the preacher, the teacher, as well as the banker,
the merchant and the manufacturer.
Our Plan for Doing This.
To this end, while retaining every feature of the old line companies neo
essary to safe, sound life insurance, and making with ihe State Treasurer
all the deposit of securities for the protection of pol cy holders required by
law as they do, we have eliminated every item of expense in the operation of
our Association not actually necessary to the tflioiency of the work and the
prompt payment of our death losses’.
Our officers and agents woik, not for extravagant salaries—for we pay
no fixed salaries to any of them, —bui lor a reasonable commission on the
work done by each for the Association. It he does but little, he is paid but
little; if he does nothing, he is paid nothing. We have discarded the fallacy
of collecting from policy-holders premiums twice or three times as great as
are neceesary to pay reasonable expenses and actual death losses, for the
purpose of accumulating a surplus in the trt asury as daogerous as it is un
necessary, and by our plan of co-qpera'ion, by which one c ntral (.ffice does
for each of our branches the work which, if they were separate and inde
pendent companies, each would have to do for itself, we have reduced oper
ating expenses—the greatest Bource of outlay, death payment alone except
ed, of legitimate life insurance—to a more nominal amount to each branch.
By these means we are enabled to offer to the public life insurance as safe
and as sound as is offered by the best of the stock companies at actual cost,
and this actual cost is less than half of the amount paid by the public for
the policies of the stock companies, which have enjoyed for so many years a
monopoly of the business.
Some Comparisons.
The average annual premium collected for ten y* are past by five of the
leading stock companies for a poJic, of a thousand dollars insuring the life
of a person forty years old is $32 20, while the average amount paid out by
them on death claims has been sll 14 on each thousand dollars of insurance
written by them These figures are taken from their own two n return*,
and are therefore correct. The difference of $21.06 between the $32 20 col
lected out of their policy-holders and the $11.14 paid out on death losses
goes to pay big salaries to officers—sometimes as much as a hundred thous
and do lars a year to one tfficer—and other extravagant and often unneces
sary expenses, and to pile up danger ju - surpluses inviting extravagance and
peculation, while at the same time their stockholders grow rich at the ex
pense of their unsuspecting policy-holders. We avoid all this, and give our
patrons insurance as safe and as sound—indeed safer, for our company can
not break; stock companies can, and sometimes do—as they do at an aotual
cost of only a little more than one-third of what they demand.
How Do We Do It?
To sum up in one little sentence all that we have said and answer this
enquiry in a word, we do it by co operation and by el:mii sting all unnec
essary expenses, and dividing necessary txpensep, all of which are usually
borne by the company, among our numerous branches Our motto is,
E. Pluribus Unum , one imide out of many; one central i ffice n Atlanta, aid
ing and directing and sustaining numerous local branches iu all of the most
important counties and cities and towns in Georgia and the neighboring
states. As the counties in the state constitute the state, so the lc cal
branches of the Southern Mutual Life Insurance Asscciation constitute the
Association One county alone is wttk and can do but little, and that little
usually at great coBt; but all the counties united together forming the Btate
are powerful, and can do much and do it well and cheaply through their
central head, the state. The home t ffice of the Southern Mutual in Atlanta
is the central head, the agent and adviser and supporter of all the branches,
each of which is within itself a complete Life Insuiance Company having
ice own president and directors, who direct and control it? local sffairp, and
collect from its own members, and pay out to the widows and dependent or
phans of its deceased members all the money required to meet all actual,
necessary expenses and death lossep, and no more. This money does not go
to a h me effice in Chicago or New Yoik, a thousand miles away, nor even
to our own home office in Atlanta, to be paid out, one-third in extravagant
salaries and expenses, one third on death losses, and the remaining third to
swell a large, unnecessary and dangerous surplus inviting extravagance and
peculation, but every dollar of it remains in the community which paid it in,
and goes to pay actual reasonable expenses and to the widows and orphans
of those who pay it in.
This is our plan, these our methods. Our by-laws are so plain and
simple that the most illiterate may understand them. They bind all alike -
the director, the agent, and the policy-holder The assured knows what
he will have to pay, and what his wife and chilJren v ill receive when he
dies. There can be no extra charges. The total cost to the assured can
never exceed the sum of the admission fee, the death assessment and the
annual dues. The admission fee (paid but once), is for membership in Class
I, $3 00; in Class II $4.00; in Class 111, $5 00, and in Class IV, $6 00.
The annual dues, to be paid to the home cffice once each year after the
first, are for Class 1,75 c; for Class 11, $1 00; for Class 111, $1 25; and for
Class IV, $1 60.
The death assessment, to be paid only when a death occurs, and then
only by members of the branca in which it cccurs, shall be $1 15 on each
member of that branch, and can never be more.
The shove constitute the entire cost of insurance in this Association. It
is the cheapest, the surest and the best insurance ever offered to the people
of this or any other country.
