Marion County Institute

The annual teachers institute of Marion County convened at the academy Monday 
morning and has been in session the entire week.

Dr. W.J. Reese, county school commissioner is presiding.

Prof. J.P. Nelson, principal of the Oglethorpe school is acting in the capacity 
of expert.

The following teachers are in attendance: Misses Hattie Foster, Mary Postell, 
Willie Kemp, S.N. Overby, Ozella Roberts and Alice Webb.  Profs. J.M. Collum, 
W.M. Pound and W.P. Daniel.

Prof. Nelson lectures at the Institutes daily dividing his time between the 
white and colored institutes.  He gave many reasons why those who attend the 
institutes would be greatly benefited by the discussion of the various subjects 
which come before the body.  The questions given in the Syllabus were discussed.

The attendance of teachers, especially at the white institute, is small.  Those 
present, however, are enjoying the meetings and thoroughly imbued with the 
work.  They are eager to catch any new ideas advanced to a more successful 
management of the school room.

It is a fact that the colored teachers take more interest in the institute than 
the white teachers.
