The teacher' Institute held in the M. E. church last Friday evening,
Saturday (afternoon) and Sunday evening, was a decided success. The
inclement weather interfered with a number of speakers from a distance being
present, still the attendance at all the sessions was good, and Saturday
evening the church was crowded. The complete program as published was
carried out. Space will not permit of a detailed report, but we can
truthfully say all acquitted themselves with credit. The music was good,
and Miss Bertha Kemp, the efficient teacher, deserves much praise for the
successful manner she arranged and carried out the program at the institute.
Charles H. Brooks presided. Among those from a distance who were present
were Prof. A. M. Steyer, of Connellsville; H. B. Cunningham and Wm.
McLaughlin of Scottdale; Rev. D. M. Steyer and Chas. Gans, Stauffer; J. C.
Begley, South Union; Frank Johnson, Moyer.
