The criminality of all unskilled workman was forcibly dwelt upon. The unskilled physician was charged with loss of life, the unskilled lawyer with loss of his client's cause, the un skilled teacher with a higher response bility, the loss of mind Even as the value of the immortal soul is greater than that of t"ie m wtal body.

The Institute was - opened by read ing a selectidn from the Bible by Prof. Claxtcn in which the mission ol man was set forth. As before announced he discussed the duty of the public school teacher. In his discussion he showed it was as much the duty of the' public school teacher to work jup the interest of tne school as the private school teacher. He said the teacher should be on hand at least ten days before the school begins to publicly announce the opening of the school to get the house in readiness to see the patrons and to organize. The best way to announce the opening is to have printed or written notices posted at all public places ! and also to have it announced at nearest church on tne preceeamg Sunday. , The house could be got in read, j glve fcis views of how the bible shottU jgest boys and girls meet the teacher I books or sections instead of by chap.)
