and can be made in every respect a more advanced and perfect Institute. 

 To our mind, the ideal system is the holding of a two or three-day 

 County Institute in each county, supplemented, in the more populous 

 counties, with One-day meetings. We would strongly advocate the con- 

 tinuance of the plan of passing the County Round-up from place to place, 

 and the holding of One-day Institutes in the country, or in the smaller 

 villages, at places which have not accommodations for the regular County 

 Round-up. We would advise the placing of the One-day Institutes in 

 such a way that they will stand on their own feet; in other words, they 

 should not be placed simply to encourage attendance at the County Round- 

 up, although this, no doubt, will be one result.
