Are "agin" The Institute

A petition is being circulated among the teachers of Calhonn county, asking the legislatura to repeal the law compelling applicants for certificates to pay an annual iee for the support of institutes. It is asserted that the fee creates a fund for plnuder by a oirele of school men who reoeive their appointment from the state superintendent of public instruction. Men, already under pay from various institutions, are appointed to hold institutes in different portions of the state at 25 per day and expenses. The poorest talent is paid $50 per week of five days, and all expenses for institute work. AU teachers are assessed from 50 cents to $1 for the purpose of supporting tbe work, which is often on the "fad" order and practically worthless to teachers. The petition has 100 signatures already and will be signed by every teacher in Calhonn county. The movement is also taking root in other counties. -
