The Anaconda Standard

It Was a Success
The Gallatin Teachers' Institute Did Good Work.

Special Correspondence of the Standard
Bozeman, Nov. 16.-The teachers' institute closed its meetings to-night with a most interesting evening session at the opera house, one of the pleasantest features being the maiden effort of the Entre Nous orchestra. This orchestra has 10 pieces and is the result of the earnest efforts of its members for nearly a year in practising, by hard work and a perseverance, which is very uncommon and most commendable in those so young.
The seven boys and three girls comprising this orchestra range between the ages of 12 and 18, and their music given to-night showed great care on their part, and was loudly applauded and once encored by the audience.
The other music at the evening session was excellent, and the address by President Reed of the college was given in the usual strong, masterly manner of Mr. Reed, which held the large audience in their places until the last word, and was a most fitting end to this year's institute, which has been the finest, the most instructive and entertaining of any institute of former years in this county.

Remarks, County Superintendent
Music
At the close of the afternoon session County Superintendent Kay was presented with a beautiful gold-headed cane by the teachers, and this mark of appreciation from these, his co-workers during the past two years, touched the heart of the retiring superintendent, whose earnest endeavor has been to advance every grade of the public schools. This year's institute has shown a considerable advance over those of former years, which is of conducting these meetings, as instituted by Superintendent Kay.
In his remarks at the close of the evening session Superintendent Kay gave a sketch of the common schools, spoke of the physical, mental and moral qualifications of the pupil, the need of a system of instruction adapted to them, the necessity of the teacher's possessing not only knowledge, but skill in teaching and tact in governing and of the potency of love in guiding children and inspiring them to greater effort. He gave some report of his stewardship, speaking of the classification of the country schools, to which he had given considerable attention.
