We feel it ourduy to take exception
to the communication from Frog Fond
-for last week, concerning the Teaclier'o
Institute at Tualatin, Washington
county. In the first place it shows a
lack of courtesy and respect, to their
hosts. As an unbiased onlooker, I must
speak accordingly. Washington county
waB reuresented by about; 20 teachers,
while Clackamas was represented by
four, one of whom offered no remarks;
one spoke in a pleasant, easy manner,
as the spirit moved ; one read several
copied clippings from journals on pen
manship and the fourth spoke a nice
little piece he had taken a fortnight to
memorize, In the meantime the teach
ers of Washington county barkened with
tbfc greatest respect, speaking whenever
an opportunity was given them and al
ways freely and to the point; as the
sou I feelelh, so the mouth speaketh.
Ve must give special credit to remarks
by Miss Thompson, teacher in the dis
trict where the institute was hold, and
the able way in which she up-held her
district and the patrons thereof. There
are others whom wo could mention that
did admirably, hut we deem it unnec
essary to mention further than to say
that the people of Stafford feel an in
justice has been done to their teacher
by intermingling her name in a report
that brings discredit lo the profession
and insult to our neighbors. -A

ami all would have his mail at the main
route. This would pave us lots of time
and labor. Some of na now have to go
many miles to the postollice. All that's
needed to obtain this benefit is to get up
a petition and forward it to the post of
fice officials. Let some of us start up
the matter and Bee that it is carried to
the end. Tne government has brought
the opportunity within our reach. Let
