524 Document No. 9. [Session
In conclusion, I wish to say that in each county in which I con-ducted
an Institute, I was deeply impressed with the earnestness
and anxiety on the part of the teachers to receive instruction and to
get new ideas and new methods of teaching. The attendance at
each Institute was remarkably large, and the work was most grati-fying
as to results. It was my earnest endeavor to make the work
of a most thoroughly practical nature, and to give the teachers only
that kind of insitruotion which could be practically applied in our
county schools.
I can not refrain from recommending that the General Assembly
be asked to make some provision for holding regular and systematic
county Instituites of not less than two weeks session in every county
in the State each year.
To hundreds and thousands of country teachers, the Institute is
the only normal instruction they ever receive in preparation for
their work, and some provision should be made for them to re-ceive
this at least. I am impressed more forceably each year with
the wonderful possibilities of teachers and with the great work
they have to do. I am impressed also with a realization of the
need for better and more systematic preparatioin, and trust that the
time is not far distant when the profession of the teacher will be
recongized to be, what it really is, one of the grandest callings on
earth, and that the teacher shall be recognized and rewarded SM
he deserves.
Respectfully submitted, Frank H. Cuetiss.

Pilhlic Instruction, Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir:—I have the honor to submit herewith a brief report of
the work done by me, as Institute Conductor, in the counties of
Robeson and Cumberland, during the month of August just passed.
These Institutes were for the teachers of the white race only, and
were of one week's duration at each place. The work in Robeson
County was done at Lumberton, beginning on Augusit 20th, and
closing on Saturday, August 25th, at 12:30 o'clock.
There were enrolled only thirty bona fide teachers out of a possi-ble
total of eighty-three, but the daily sessioins were regularly at-tended
by a number of the best citizens of Lumberton, and much
real live interest was displayed by all who were present.
The morning sessions began at 9 o'clock, and closed at 12:30.
This session was devoted to the close study of the regular subjects
taught in our public schools, the plan of work being so arranged
