Atlanta, Ga., May 8, 1882-
To the County School Commissioners and
Members of the County Boards of Educa
tion—Qamsea: I propose to hold three
Teachars’ilnatitutes in Georgia the ap
proaching summer. Teachers’ institutes
are temporary schools for instructing
teachers who are themselves actually en
gaged in the work of instruction. Many
of our teachers ere poorly qualified for
their work—so muih so that in many cases
the public do not receive an equivalent for
the money expended. The host of the
teaohere can be improved.
In onr institutes we expect to devote the
time mainly to the following subjects, via:
spelling, reading, penmanship, English
grammar, greograpby and arithmetic.
One teaohor will be pnt iu charge of the
first three branches, and one in charge of
each of the others. There will thus’ be
four teachers legtllar’y employed at each
institute. The most experienced teachers
on aooonnt of pensions.

A report on certain ohangee in the by
laws of the constitution, was brought in by
Mr. Kerfoot,of Baltimore,some very valua
ble and useful ones,calculated to add to the
efficiency of onr two great boards. The
difficulty hitherto has been to reach
the masses of our people, and we
think we are beginning to effect that
by new methods. Somehow, there has been
a dissatisfaction for several years with onr
methods as being insufficient to reach and
arouse the laity and obtain from them oon-
tribu tions commensurate with the numbers
and ability of oat denomination. And aa
one grand/step towards a change which it
is hoped will result beneficially, a commit
tee hu recommended the removal of our

| Nuavnxu, May 12.—The oommittee on

yesterday morning, upon which Bev. O. B.
Blue moved to strike out six and insert
three. A long discussion ensued, testing
through yesterday and to-day, and the con
ference adjourned till to-morrow, when
the discussion will be renewed. The proba
bilities are that the motion to strike out
will not prevail, and that we will have six j
new bishops. (Jf oourse everybody is on
tip-toe now to hear itho they will be. One
brother who favored a smaller number
than six, said he doubted whether there were
six men who wonld make good bishops.
In reply Bev. Dr. Hinton said he had no
doubt there were plenty of good men who
would grace the bishop's chair. He said he
believed that wherever there wu an Elijah

the various educational institutions at the.
