Excerpt from The Status of County Teachers Institutes in Pennsylvania If these arraignments of institutes were isolated examples, they might be passed by unnoticed, but of late years expressions of a similar nature have become sufficiently frequent to arrest attention. The feeling is beginning to spread that institutes have served their usefulness and should be discontinued. It is no doubt true that institutes, as they are still usually conducted, are an anachronism. They arose in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, before the normal schools had made such headway and when summer schools for teachers were unknown, to supply a distinct need in the training of teachers.
