The Liberal Lyre Seward County Friday June 12, 1891 Seward Normal Institute The Seward Co. Teachers Institute opened Monday June 8 with a large attendance and the interest shown by the teachers tend to make this one of the best institutes in the state. It is true that in this sparsely populated county we do not expect the number of teachers as in the more populated counties' but we say we can arouse the interest & enthusiasm as well as they. The interest taken by our worthy instructors Professors BEESON and STICKLE and county superintendent Miss MILLS, will be well remembered by our fellow teachers, and when at the close of the institute we can heartily say our time was profitably spent, and in conclusion we can add that "Well begun is half done." The following teachers have enrolled: Lizzie GLECKLER, Hattie GLECKLER, Sallie McCLURE, Mary WIRT, Edith CAMPBELL, Mrs. S.A. KLINE, Wesley HANNUM, Ollie DAVIS, Anna DAVIS, Kate SAUNDERS, Mamie WAGGONER, Mrs. Geo. CALVERT, Stella PYLE, Pearl BROWN, Mrs. Gertrude CARR, Fanny HOOPER, Willie GLENN, Mrs. Ella KINNEY, Frank WAGGONER, Lee LARRABEE, John SWINDLE, Mrs. Geo. MILLER, Anise KROUSE, Minnie KROUSE, Hattie GILLUM, Maude WEMPLE, Etta HENLINE, Onil HENLINE, Minnie PERKINS, Junia ONG, Jennie VanNESS, Fran ONG, Mabel MEARS, Rowen CHASE. Notes: Mrs. Henline, Mr. Robert Hannum & Geo. Calvert wer called at the institute. The Misses Gleckler, Wirt, McClure, Campbell, and Mrs. Kinney and Kline are attending the institute from Stevens county. The classes in Philosophy and Bookkeeping are small. The class in calisthenics is learning the West Point Drills.
