Montacute Institute, South Australia
NEW INSTITUTE AT MONTACUTE
On Saturday last, 29 June, the foundation stone of the new Institute was laid in the presence of a large number of residents by Mr. F. J. T. Pflaum, M.P., who referred to the great benefit an institute would be to the residents of the district, enabling them to enjoy social intercourse. It was a place where they could meet without entering into party politics, and where they could work for the good of all. He also spoke of the advantages that would accrue from the library.
The land on which the building is being erected is the gift of Mr James Hunter, senior. The foundation stone was also a present, being given by the Literary Society.

MONTACUTE INSTITUTE OPENING
There was a large gathering at the Montacute Institute on Saturday afternoon, when the Hon. A. H. Peake, Mrs. Peake, Miss Peake, and Mr. Pflaum, M.P., arrived to open the new institute. The foundation stone was laid on June 29, 1907, by Mr. Pflaum, and the building is solid, and of attractive design. In addition to a spacious hall it contains a library and reading room. The school children, in charge of Mrs. Moore, were drawn up to receive the visitors, and were complimented on their smart appearance.
Mr. Peake was presented with a silver key, and in declaring the institute open, he complimented the community on having had the courage and enterprise to erect the building at what, to them, would be a considerable expense. He counted institutes as among the best and most useful institutions.
