No. 1 of tho Dullols HIkIi School Jmtrwtl, a monthly pnpor ul Itshed In tlio Interest of the Dullols high school, reached our exchange table last Thursday. Tho Jmtrnnl Is certain ly a credit to ltd projectors. A choii ahow seems to be a much hotter drawing card In Ueynoldsvillo than a (food lecture or concept company. Tho lectures In the public school rinir-o are well attended, but If a lecture out side of tho regular course Is announced there la always sure to bo a hhiuII uudi pnee. A mlnlstrol ahow; would pack the opera houae. A pantaloon factory that would have paid out annually t:U),n()0 In wages, would bavo located at I'nnxsutawney If tho citizens of that town had given tho company a lot and M.OUO In cash. The lot was secured and f.1,200 by subscrip tion, but the other I.HOO could not bo rained and tliu pantaloon factory located at McKeesport, whore their propoaillon was accepted. The Indiana county Republican pri mary election was held last Saturday, and John 8. Fisher, Esq., defeated Dr. Morrow In the senatorial content Fishers majority over Morrow was about 2,500. Mr. Fishor received tho Jefferson county nomination at the pi marv election held February 20th. Ho had almost 2,000 more votes in thiscoun ty than Morrow secured. Though a man may be honest, law abiding, moral and industrious, still unless he takes part In the affairs of tho city, town or borough In which ho re sides, says the Oil City Itlizzard, he is not a good American citizen. In order to be a good American citizen a porson must Interest himself In tho affairs of the municipality, and put forth his bent efforts in tho direction of bettering tho condition of hia fellow men. EDUCATIONAL REUNION. The furlousness of last year's business boom seems to have about run its course and prices are likely to settle now to something more permanent and lasting. Business transactions have been consid erably handicapped the past year by tho fact that prices wore so changeable that they could only be quoted for one day at a time and wholesale houses could not issue a price list to their pa trons that they could guarantee to bo good for a woek. Ex. ' A bill has been pasaed by Congress providing for coinage of tho 3-ccnt piece, which was discontinued some years ago. To remove tho objection attached to the old coin, viz.: the mis taking of it for a dimo, the coin is to bo unique. .It Is to be made of nickel, the the size of. the bronze cont, although thicker. In tho center is to be a holo one fourth of an Inch in diameter. This will make tho coin easily distingulsha able by sight or touch. If by error or mistaken identity any one should get a letter which plainly belongs to some ono else it should be returned Immediately to the postoflluo, says the Ridgway Advocutc. Frequent ly people of the samo name get tho mall Intended for the other ono of tho name. The postmaster is warranted in delivering the mill to either ono of the name, but his responsibility ceases with delivery and If tho wrong person keeps the letter that person is held liable for any inconvenience or damage done the rightful owner. The new mercantile tax law is going to add to the revenues of the Stato, as shown by the returns received at the Auditor General's Department. Under the old law there were about 01,000 dealers who paid the tax, but under the present law about 150,000 dealers will help to swell the Treasury' reoelpts Formerly the income from this source was about $i(K),(MK) a year. Thu new law will probably bring in about tl.200,000. One dealer who last year paid $70 mer cantile tax will this year pay (750. Another paid 81,000 last year; this year ho will pay 820,000. Harrisburg Tele yraph. The Inorease in Jefferson coun ty is about double to what it was before. Held in Assembly Hall Saturday Inter citing Topic! Well Handled. The educational rounlon held In As sembly Hall Saturday, March 17th, was presided over by A. J. Postlowalte. John Bauer being vice-president and Miss Jeasln SmelUer secretary. Itev. A. J. Meek, of tho Reynoldsvllle Bap tist church, conducted tho devotional exorcises. "Tho Successful Teacher" was dis cussed first by C. W. Dickey, who gave the standards of success for various times. Good conduct, ohcdlonco, and Industry were formerly marks of aucceaa; later a show of Intercut by tho pupil was the teacher's aim: now a preparation for an examination by the acquisition of a nnmlxT of dry facia seems to bo a stan dard. All of these are not real aucceaa. The teacher must seek an approving conscience and approving God. Tho unfolding of life and the teaching how to live it is the true aim of the educator. He who Is himself noble, kind and trim, n model for the pupil, one who will train the hoys and girls to be men and women, ho is a success. Tho thots given by Miss Stauffor on this subject accorded with Mr. Dickey's with emphasis on thu subjects of natural aptitude, special preparation and strong will Mtwer In disciplining. Several apt illustrations from observation were giv en showing how tho lack of these quail ficatlons prevent good teaching. Miss Sneddon said tho teacher should en deavor to have a harmonious dovolo inentof the powers. Tho tencher can influence, not maku character. Ho should bo thoroughly alive and so have a live school. 1 he Ladles IJmirtctte rendered a pleasing selection. KiismcII Kudolph discussed the subject of vocal music us a branch of study in the school. Ho showed its valoo as an educational and as a physical factor. The Institute Quartette thfln gave "The Chlmpaii7.ue and the Monkey" and in response) to an onooro, "Jack and Jill Messrs. Kramlich, Longwcll and Bauer each expressed it as his opinion that vocal music should have a place in our school curriculum. The afternoon session was opened by a selection by the Institute Quartette, who wero received with tho usual en thUHiusm. llielr second selection was "I've Lost My Bow-Wow." Hul it. Longwcll, of thu Drockwayvlllo schools, gave an interesting talk. Ills remarks were for tho pupils, parents and teachers. He urged the pupils to be ladles and gentlemen; tho parents to help teachers; and tho teachers not to 1)0 discouraged, but to lie encouraged by tho presence of the helpful pupil. Miss Christine Brown pleased the audience by her reading of a selection in negro dialect, and tho Ladies' Quar tette gavo another selection. T. X. NetT discussed the old and now methods of bclling. His idea was that a union of tho two "prod need tho best results, Dr. Foust, Prof. Lenkurd and Hov. G. H. Vlbbert each briefly dis cussed tho subject. In response to an invitation Hov. G. II. iobort, of Massachusetts, gavo a vory interesting talk on Scientific Tempprnnno. He says it is acknowl edged that alcohol is a poison. Tho drinkers of it in small quantities look healthy they lire not healthy and can not endure hardships as can temperato persons. A surgical operation generally proves fatal to them. Tobacco has the samo effect. A porson so poisoned can not think doeply, for this reason girls are becoming the best scholars at the universities. Alcohol and cold have tho samo effect on tho body, they drive out tho heat. The Institute Quartette rendered two pleasing selections. The length of tho school term was discussed by Messrs. London, Foust and Hawk, they being tho directors present, Mr. London said tho length of term should meet the demand of the com' munity. At present seven months sat isfies the demands of tho township. Dr. Foust approves an eight month term for rural districts and Mr. Hawk thot nine months should be given to the children. Prof. G. W. Lcnkord then described tho Savings Bunk system which has been introduced into the Reynoldsville schools. He gave the history of the institution In various plaoes. The best results are habits of frugality which are established and a knowledge of bus' loess which are acquired. Tbe Institute Quartette gave Its last selection after which Dr. Foust gave a talk on the habits of teachers as eon- forming to their teachings. After giving a vote of thanks to the two quartettes and Miss Brown for the entertainment given, the Institute ad journed. Secretary. West Reynoldsville Council Meeting.
