Sumter Ikw act an example which It will bo well for the other counties of the state to follow. Sumter always leads. She has organized a teachers Institute and pays the teachers for every day they atteud it An important step toward securing better and more effective teach ings in the county schools was taken at the initial session of the Sumter County Teachers Irfstitute, which was held at the Jacksou-street school house yester day morning at 10 o’clock. In the absence of County School Com missioner Moore, Supt. Bizien of the city schools called the meeting to order. It took the teachers but a short while to sottle down to work. About twenty-five teachers and many visitors were present. All were Interested in tho work. The first exercise was the reading of a paper by Miss Lannio Adamas on tlie subject of teaching spelling. The paper was well prepared and was on the right line, judging from tho discussion that followed in which several of the teachers took part. The next question was “the right manner of teaching reading to young classes." Prof. L. H. Carter, by appoint ment, bandied the subject right skill fully, advocating strongly the word method combined with the alphabetic. Although Mr. Carter bad but little to say of the sentence method, it appeard that the better way was a happy combi nation of all the methods, taking what is best In all. “How to teach geography in the first, second and third year of that study," was the burden of an elaborate paper by Mrs. Emma L. Guthrie. The paper was such as to cause the teachers that heard it to follow tho correct plan—suggested by her. Prof. J. P. Nelson, who is the princi pal of the school at Andersonville, was invited by the chairman to give the class bis views as to thejbest manner of econo mizing time in the organization and teaching of ungraded schools, stated that he had not collected any thoughts on that subject, but was, however, will ing to do his best under tho circum stances, Then Prof. Bizien, for half an hour or so, by asking question after question, succeeded in getting from Mr, Nelson a vast deal of Information whioh, if heeded by teachers, will do them a great belp in the future. After a short recess the work was re sumed and those present enlisted os members of the institution. The follow ing teacbors were present. Misses Lannie Adams, Annie Ansley, Lizzie Lasseter, Anna Perry, Minnie Phillips, Carrie Shropshire, Norma Stewart, Ida Stallings, Susie Taylor, Mesdames S. E. Mask, D. T. Wilson, E.L. Guthrie. Prof. L. H. Carter,JMr. Warren Culpepper,Prof. W. B. Merritt,Messrs. S. S. McMahon, R. E. Mann, J. P. Nelson, George Winkler, J. L. Wilkinson, C. C, Shepherd, Prof. A. J. M. Bizien. Prof. George J. Winkler’s task io-wlt: “How to Teach Notation and Enumera tion,” received due attention and the discussion having drifted toward tho merits or demerits ofthe decimal system quite a skirmish took place among the educators. The last subject was “How to Teach English.” Prof. W. B. Merritt spoke at length on that subject, every one of his remarks being practical and well point ed, and If all teachers who were presont will follow tho instructions received from him there is no doubt that all tho schools of Sumter county will bo beno- fitted. All in all the first meeting of the in stitute was a grand success. The pros- senco of so many tachers at this first meeting promises a largo attendance at tho next meeting, which is to take place in the same school house on August 13, II and 15. All teachers should bo pres ent at those meetings, which cannot but be beneficial to them. This is especial ly true since the county board has agreed to pay them for the time they aro at tending tho institute. The patrons of those schools which aro now in session should bo willing for tho teachers to at tend tho school. A UANOUROUS POLICY.
