The Texas Institute

By Mrs. Ella E. Hughes

FRIDAY, September 15, the Texas teachers' institute closed. Twelve took part in the closing exercises.

Miss Lottie Farrell and Miss Ida Nelson assisted during two weeks of the institute. Professors Hughes and Curtis were with us the last two weeks. Professor French, Miss Ada Phillips, and myself were here all the time.

An earnest spirit of work was manifested by all present, and we trust that the enthusiasm shown at the institute will be a blessing to the conference this year through good schools taught by the teachers.

The attendance was not what it should have been, considering the expense and the effort that was made by the conference to forward the church-school work. Those who were here testified that they had been blessed. They wished to thank the conference for what had been done for them.

If there are any churches still desiring church-schools, I should be glad to hear from them. There are several teachers yet unemployed. Let us not be discouraged in the good way, but follow out the plan laid down by the Lord in the education of our children.—Mrs. Ella E. Hughes, Supt. Texas Church-schools, in Southwestern Union Recorder.
