If ems of Institute Work in Red Wil
low County.
The first institute , as sonic now at
tending may remember , was held in
August , 1880 , at Indianola , in a small
room hired for the purpose. There was
only one instructor the County Super
intendent , C. L. Nettleton , and no lec
turers. There were ahout twenty teach
ers in attendance , and at the time there
were twenty-three districts in the county ,
The one instructor was u host in hiinselt
and had the gift to inspire and quicken
the minds of the teachers. Each teach
er was interested and one expressed the
general feeling in the remark. "It makes
mo regret my school days. " Since then ,
these summer schools have been regu
larly held , increasing the interest in
study and self-improvement among the
teachers , and also creating : i certain
esprit de corps that adds to their influ
ence. There has also been a change in
the community. The indefatigable
teacher and superintendent led and
aroused public opinion and the profes
sion of teacher was dignified through
the interest and value attached to his
labor. When the lute Superintendent
began his work the districts numb'ered
less than twenty , at the close there were
about sixty. As a result of his efforts ,
the community felt the ufgcnt need of
better teachers , and the teachers them
selves , the need of higher qualifications.
In a great measure he had determined
the character of the schools and given
a bent in a new county that can't be
lost. After six years of blessed seed
sowing he was called to his rest and
others reap where he labored. Gone ,
but not forgotten. In many hearts his
loss is mourned as that of a personal
friend , tried and true. May 1 be par
doned a short in niemoriam of one who
gave of the best that was in him to the
school work here. It needed a man of
intense convictions and great earnest
ness of purpose to pioneer the way in a
new countiy , when the physical condi
tions of life are absorbing , and the ten
dency is to live on with narrowing ideas.
It was his constant aim to raie the
standard of excellence , to stimulate
to right being and doing. Lefc him
speak for himself in a few quotations
from papers read before associations :
"Let us then be lifted up to the ap
plication of what we ought to strive to
be and to do. ' '
"The mind can never open into its
largest compass and power under any ,
but the broadest and highest motives. ' '
"Let us understand our work in all
its minutia and be influenced by such
motives. "
"First with and for ourselves in
grounding in principle our guides of ac
tion and in proper preparation before
entering a calling so arduous and so im
portant. "
"Would that we might be filled with
aspirations , calm , living aspirations that
are not dampened , much less quenched ,
by the routine of common yet sacred
duty that enables us to feel that in every
detail of our labor is our blessing. "
"Let man as man be our watchword. "
' 'Every work has its superior motive.
Let our's be humanit } * , not money. "
A fellow teacher pays this tribute to
his memory : "I have looked forward
to the time when I might listen to the
kindly humor and honest , fearless truth
speaking of the good man. whom God
has called. So eanest always , so anx
ious to be right and do right , and withal
so kindly and warm hearted. " He lives
to-day , a friend worth having , a man
worth knowing , and surely through tears
even it is a blessed thing to see that the
life he lived , the work he did. the influ
ence he exercised was to a sure and no
ble purpose and that we do him a wrong \
tnd God a wrong , to speak of him as |
lead when his works do follow him. |
'Gone from earth's kin past beat , past breath
[ nto the life that is mis-called death. "
