Hamilton.
The following verses were written by
Joe W. Furey, formerly associate editor of
this paper, on the death of Hon. Wm. L.
Hamilton, the lamented associate judge of
Clinton county, who died in Lock Haven
last Saturday.
A man of mental fire and might,
Samsonian strength and Anak height,
With books acquainted, thoughts that burn—
Such was the man the people mourn.
Why was it he was called just now
While earthly honor crowned his brow *
Let us not ask—behold the Light!
The ways of God are always right.
He sat to vindicate the laws,
To judge aright the righteous cause—
To frown on evil, to help the good,
This noble man most constant stood.
And now this prince of right hath gone
Where gleameth the eternal dawn ;
Where music rare from golden bands
Is harped by angel voice and hands.
The family mourns, the public grieves,
To thus enshroud him ’neath the leaves,
Just as the winter mealts’away
And spring resumes her gracious sway.
But where he is no summers wane,
No joy is ever damped by pain,
Oh, what a joy it is to know
He’s where unfading flowers grow.
Spring Mills.
The Penns Valley camp Sons of Veterans, had
their second anniversary supper in the town hall
on Wednesday evening last. It was largely at-
tended.
Thos. Jamison one of the” candidates for the
nomination tor Justice of the Peace, met with a
very severe accident on Saturday last. While
driving in the neighborhood of the! Beaver Dam
school house his horse became frightened and
turning suddenly upset the buggy, throwing Mr.
Jamison violently to the ground breaking one or
more of his ribs besides receiving other injuries.’
The contest for the nomination for Justice of
the Peace is becoming decidedly lively and in-
teresting. Col. J. Jamison is very active and
leaving no stone unturned—if there is a vote nun-
der it to assist him in securing the nomination.
That, obtained, in this Democratic Gibraltar is
tantamount to an election. Wm. Pealer is also
very busy and his friends are by no means idle,
Both of these gentlemen are sound Democrats.
Very able and are highly esteemed in this com-
munity. But the political tide seems to be run-
ning in favor of WB. Herring, a gentleman of un-
questionable ability, of large business experience
anda true Democrat. The opinion is general too,
in fact I hear it expressed repeatedly—is that in-
stead of giving everybody a little cheap law to
pocket fees, and keep the community ina con-
tinual turmoil and commotion, any of these men
would act similarly to the predecessor, and urge a
peaceful adjustment of any difficulties, and make
plain the folly, absurdity and expense of appeal-
ing to court to settle trifling disputes, which
really require only a little common sense, judici-
ously administered to adjust in the magistrate’s
office. This is an important matter and should
be well considered.
The tax collectorship is also becoming quite
warm, if not a trifle exciting. H. P. Rossman,
present incumbent, is working like a beaver, and
his friends are making every effort for his re-
nomination. Apparently Roland Gentzel is not
urging his claims with any particular force, or
else is covering his tracks with considerable skill.
Jeremiah Snavely seems to be forging straight
ahead, and of late has displayed remarkable
strength. The point of having the tax collector
reside in our village, instead of three or four
miles in the country is a point well taken, and
has added largely to Mr. Snavely’s strength. The
current seems to be running entirely in his favor
with an impetus not easy to stem nor change.
Andrew Corman and Jefferson Heckman for
supervisors have no special opposition. As yet
’ the Republicans have no candidate mentioned for
any of the offices, at least none appear on the sur-
face. Of course a nomination is simply an empty
honor, except in Democratic blundering.
High Valley.
Jess Snyder trapped two wild cats while
out cutting a car load of oak poles last week.
Penns creek is in driving order now and
Daniel Crader is keeping a sharp eye on his
bridge.
John Frankhouser, the boss on the Eisen-
huth job at Siding 36. will have his pay day
on time. He never fails.
George Eisenhuth, real estate agent, has
finished up his log job, and is now ready to
take up some other business.
Samuel Alter is busy hauling prop timber,
but he reports that the roads are so bad that
unless they get better he will have to stop or
kill his team.
Spread the news everywhere that the
WATCHMAN is the most reliable, newsiest
paper published in the county. It costs only
$1.00 a year, when paid in advance, and will
be sent to any address in the United States
for that price.
If the Georgetown correspondent really
wants to know how we turn out so many
good Democrats over here in High Valley
we'll give him a pointer. First of all, this is
a clean place. Ws don’t allow any human
rubbage about here. No jail-birds, or town-
ship bummers or tramps are harbored. So
you see we sow our seed on clean ground,
where toads and bull frogs can’t destroy it,
and when men are raised under such condi-
tions they are invariably Democrats.

only a few ‘invited guests. The bride is a
splendid young lady. The groom is well
known in this end of the county as a hus-
tling thresher, having run a steam engine
for years and giving good satisfaction.
Luther Smith, of Johnstown, Wm. H., of
Spring Mills, Michael, of Potters Mills, and
Mrs. Alexander, of the same place, assembled
at the old Smith home, the early part of the
week, and enjoyed a partial family reunion
with their adored mother. Lowel, of Lew-
istown, was present in his best frock coat to
see that everyone had full and plenty and
that tobies in abundance were sent skyward
in smoke. They are all hale fellows well
met and a credit to their mother as well as
to their country.
A serious accident befell our old neighbor

his horse frightened and ran away. Mr.
Jamison was thrown out on his head and so
severely injured that, several stitches were
required to sew up the gash in his head. He
was also bruised badly and had three ribs
broken. The doctors are confident of being
able to pull him through and his friends are
looking after his political interests.

THE LODGE AT BOALSBURG.—Last Thurs-
day evening was a red letter day for the
Boalsburg lodge, No. 894, I. 0 O. F. It was
the twenty-sixth anniversary and the event
was celebrated with a fine banquet well
prepared and temptingly served in lodge
hall. The rooms were handsomely decorat-
ed with the colors of the lodge and the tables
were beautiful with plants and flowers.
Covers were laid for one hundred and it was
necessary to crowd in a few extras so popular
are the lodge and its feasts. Twelve gallons
of oysters, fifteen gallons of ice cream,
chickens unnumbered and other good things
galore disappeared like magic and everyone
enjoyed them. John Wieland presided at
the organ and rendered some choice selec-
tions. H. B. Harrison was toastmaster while
Rev. A. A. Black, Prof. Hower and others
spoke of the good fellowship of fraternal
gatherings and of man’s duty to his fellow-
man on broad gage lines. The order at
Boalsburg is most prosperous, it does not at-
tempt business on the hap hazard policy as
last year it increased its membershin 30 per
cent,
Centre Hall.
There being nothing of particular interest
to report about town this week I have given
all the space at my disposal toa full report
of the district teachers’ institute which met
here last week. So many topics of general
interest were discussed that I have handled
them somewhat at length.—CoR.
The teachers’ local institute for district No.
2, opened in Grange Arcadia Friday evening.
The weather was unpropitious, but with all
that there was a very fair attendance of
spectators during the evening session. Few
teachers were present, however, during any
of the sessions. It might be said here that
there 1s an apparent apathy bordering on
contempt among many teachers for these
local institutes. Teachers who could easily
have been present were conspicuous by their
absence, and some of them in attendance—too
many of them—acted the part of the drone.
They couldn’t even be prodded into saying
something. It is at local institutes that pa-
trons of the public schools have an opportun-
ity to play the part of the caliper and correct-
ly size up the caliber of the average school
teacher. Is this fact the cause of non-at-
tendance and non-participation? There is
good reason to come to that conclusion.
After the devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. W. Rhodes. Walter M. Kerlin wel-
comed the teachers in a nice little address.
This was seconded by Miss Anna Bartholo-
mew, teacher of the primary borough schools,
perhaps one of the youngest teachers in the
district, but who has been unsually successful
in the school work. J.L.Holmes,of State Col-
lege, responded. When he made reference to
Centre Hall as the town well supplied with
water plants he was met on the instant with
rounds 6f applause.
Chairman Wagonseller then introduced as
the speaker of the evening Enoch Perrine,
Litt. Dr., professor of English in Bucknell
University. His subject was “Some Prov-
erbs—Not Solomon’s.”” He endeavored to
disprove the correctness of the common prov-
erbs, such as ‘Early to bed, early to rise,
makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
“To be forewarned is to be forearmed.”
“Where there is smoke there is fire.”” To
show the falsity of this proverb, he stated
that newspapers often created a smoke by in-
sinuating that others were guilty of all man-
ners of evil, while if the truth was known
those who were slandered and abused were
the superiors—there was smoke but no fire.
His lecture were well gotten up and in the
hands of a really funny man would be excel-
lent.
After the opening services Saturday morn-
ing by Rev. J. M. Rearick, Miss Estie Ocker
recited the ‘North American Indian.”’ The
first subject for discussion was ‘The import-
ance of placing good books in the hands of
pupils.” N. N. Hartswick believed that the
Legislature should pass laws which would
compel school boards to purchase libraries.
Every teacher should have good reference
books, but not for the use of the scholars, as
that would be an imposition. He said it was
the duty of the county superintendent to
recommend books and that he was guilty of
neglect so far as advocating up-to-date equip-
ments.
F. A. Foreman said that having good books
in the hands of pupils is in itself a co-opera-
tive educational work. That the boy is a ca-
det in the military academy of life. They
should gather in the ideas of social life, the
principles of true etiquet and respect for
others. The good books he reads will give
him knowledge of better life with his prac-
tical life. Ideas of life are at all times form-
ing in the minds of boys and girls. Yellow
backed literature is pernicious. They polute
the imagination, cultivate the bad habit of
concealment, and lay the foundation for
leading a double life. The home should be a
school for christian ethics. . The books chil-
dren read must create and foster lofty ideas
and personal character; fixed purposes; man-
ners at home, on the street, in the recitation
room and in the church. The literature a |
child reads should warn against all vulgari-
ty of speech, show the charm of modesty and
the value of reality. What royal companions
books are! ‘The pictures on, the wall are
mute, but the books on the shelves of the lis?
brary are eloquent. The school is the light-
tower of the home. Blessed is the home
where the charming and inspiring stories of
“Tom Brown at Rugby” and “Tom Brown
at Oxford’ are read aloud.
J. L. Holmes, of State College,told how his
school secured a library, and said that Centre
Hall could have one as well. A committee
was appointed for the work, which collected
one hundred and fifty dollars. Entertain-
ments were resorted to. By reading good
books he said some good will be assimilated.
Children who form the habit to read will not
be found on the streets. Started to read,
children will have a great start in life. The
public school library should consist of poetry,
general history, etc., suited to the tastes of
all. He related the evil effects of reading
dime novels by saying that five of his pupils
who made such literature their standard of
excellence landed in the county jail or state
reformatory.
Prof. John D. Meyer, principal of the
Bellefonte High School was called on by the
chairman to give his views. He said that
literature is one of the best means by which
we can broaden the mind of a pupil. Since
education is culture we should bring about
this culture, or education, by the broadest
means possible. The library in the school is
of incalculable value,and every teacher should
be provided with a library composed not only
of a dictionary and a few other reference
books, but of books which will lead the child
to see life in its higher spheres and also give
to him inspiration in his school work. Every
child should have some knowledge of the
literature of the different nations, because
that literature gives him the very essence of
thought of the different people. We have
examples of this in the work of the German
writer Goethe, of the French writer Moliere,
of the greatest of all English writers, Shakes-
peare, and of our own Longfellow.
It is hard to outline definitely the books
suitable for the different grades. In the pri-
mary grade fairy tales would be most suit-
able ; for the intermediate, fables and short
historical stories conld be used to good ad-
vantage and for the grammar and high
school, fiction of the best class, and those
books which will elevate the pupil and in-
struct him in those things which will be of
practical value. Teachers should insist upon
their pupils reading outside of school, but
should ever be watchful what he is reading.
In his own experience, Prof. Meyer found
that those pupils who read can better com-
prehend the studies they are pursuing and
can much better express their thoughts in
good English. A teacher can and ought to
create a literary atmosphere in his school.

‘Home Study’’ was a subject that received
considerable attention. Borough school di-
rector John T. Lee opened the discussion by
saying that children should not have much
home study until after they had had three
years of school. Not enough care can be
taken in the methods of instructorsin the be-
ginning. Minds of little ones are often over-
taxed ; health impaired. A child wrongly
started is difficult to undo and all the time is
wasted. He advocates that studies for chil-
dren be limited ; home studies should be lim-
ited. He said that children are wrongly as-
sisted by parents. Parents do the work and
children are allowed to copy. When too
much time is used in home studies there is
no time to be devoted to reading.
Chairman Wagonseller seconded these re-
marks in toto.
The writer insisted that the home study
should begin as soon as a .child can talk.
Useful things should be taught in place of
foolish phrases. That teachers did not have
time to give much personal instructions;
much of this kind of work could be done at
home ; that children should not be sent to
school to learn their a b ¢’sand ab’s—all that
should be taught at home.
George Glenn spoke about home study with
reference to teachers. He stated that there
are no teachers posted on all the branches
unless he studies at home. There are new
theories springing up every day—some are
good, some indifferent. Those who hold
college diplomas and depend on them will in
time be compelled to yield to those who are
willing to apply themselves to hard work for
self advancement at all times. The normal
or college man is as far above the untrained
teacher, as a rule, as the mechanical
draughtsman is above the common mechanic,
but without home study he will sooner or
later fall below the mark. It is important
that the teacher's mind be quick. This
quality may be gained and retained by
thoughtful, earnest, study.
David Tate believed that home study was
necessary. Pupils should be sent home with
work to do. Parents will be more likely to
see that they do the work and in this way
keep them from bad associates. He thought
home a better place to study than the school
room, because the pupil could be alone and
think and reason without being annoyed by
companions.
F. A. Freeman did not believe much in
home study, because the pupil will then not
have anything to occupy his time in school
but mischief.
J. L. Holmes said that teachers should
learn to know their scholars. One was able
to do at nine years what. another at twelve
would stumble over. He had little belief in
home study.
Chairman Wagonseller gave home study a
black-eye, so far as relating to children who
had not over three years of school.
The writer asked why, if this was his be-
lief, the primary scholars of Centre Hall
were permitted to carry bundles of books
down the street every day of sufficient weight
to cause them to become bow-legged. Either
the methods employed or the beliefsadvocat-
ed should be changed.
The answer was made that some people
were not content without carrying some-
thing.
[The one thing to be looked after is that
these children don’t always carry their
knowledge under their arm.]
Dr. G. W. Hosterman, who has always tak-
en an active interest in public schools, asked
whether recitations were so arranged that
scholars would have time to prepare their
lessons during school hours.
D. R. Foreman replied that to a certain ex-
tent this could be accomplished.
Mr. Leathers, who has had considerable
experience in teaching, said that no one
should get the impression that scholars
should have only three or four hours study
each day. Much time should be devoted to
home work.
Prof. Meyer said home study was the most
important, and that it was almost impossible
to arrange recitations to allow time for prep-
aration. During the night the mind digest-
ed what the scholar has studied.
* #0 o®
‘How can we best get pupils to express
what they know’’ was the last subject before
noon. D. R. Foreman said it depended upon
the tact of the teacher to get the best expres-
sion, out of his scholars. Different pupils
would require different methods. F. A.
Foreman : When you get an idea from a boy
or girl, follow it up by questions. Mrs. De
Widdie : If the teacher can present an idea
in an enthusiastic manner, children will be-
come enthusiastic and endeavor to answer;
they will catch fire from the enthusiasm. W.
M. Kerlin : The foundation to get children to
tell what they know is laid in the primary
room. Read stories to them and have
them re-write the thoughts in their
own language. D. K. Keller indorsed Mr.
Kerlin’s idea. Mr. Leathers: The idea to
get scholars to tell what they know is a won-
derful thing. Impediment of speech and
backwardness are hindrances. Get such to
ask questions and keep them interested.

The first on the program for the afternoon
service was a recitation by Miss Mabel Keller,
“The Night Dream.” It was rendered in
her usual good style.
“How teachers should employ the time
out of school” was the subject opened by
Chairman B. M. Wagonseller. Outside of the
ministry, he said, teaching is the noblest
eaipleyment. ' Three features to be trained
‘are intellectual, physical and spiritual. The
teacher has to do with the mortal soul. If
the character of the teacher is not noble what
can be expected. The teacher above all oth-
ers needs general culture. The teachersare
not teachers of special branches. Work along
‘the lihe of self improvement at home. Invest
in magazines and books, and digest the mat-
ter therein. The young person who has not
had the experience, should observe and think
out the thoughts contained in current events.
Teachers spend much time in places of loaf-
ing. Leaders of though, of action, men who
pretend to train young men for future citi-
zenship, loafing! In these places most of the
wrong is concocted. Teachers leave their
school rooms and before they reach home, be-
gin smoking. How can such teach abste-
nance from tobacco and liquor when they use
them themselves. Anything that will not
attend to upward advancement should not
be done by teachers. Too many young peo-
ple take the wrong view of the teaching pro-
fession. They think that it is the easiest pro-
fession because he has but six hours work.
But no; the teacher should devote his whole
time to his work. This thought has entered
the minds of so many young people who look
at it from a pecuniary point of view and
spend their time after school hours to no ad-
vantage to themselves or others. They should
read, study, work along those lines that will
advance character.

‘How to secure the attention of an unin-
terested child” was the knotty question
opened for discussion by Andrew Gregg, who
said that the child should be studied individ-
ually. Children may besimilar yet there are
many differences. If only ten or fifteen
minutes time to individual work could be
given much good would be accomplished, but
to give that time even is impossible. The
regular routine work must be gone through
or there would be complaints. A teacher
should be well equipped for his profession; he
must know much more than his scholars.
You can’t fill an empty vessel out of an
empty vessel.

D. K. Keller, one of Potter township’s able
teachers, spoke on ‘‘How to teach current
topics.”” This subject means, he said, how
shall we teach passing events. The teacher
must study the passing subjects and give it
to his scholars in a lecture. He advocated
that each school should have a suitable paper
come to it, and that every teacher should
make a diary of the important events of the
day. Schools should be provided with liter-
ature boiled down. Teachers should, how-
ever, teach current topics that they know
something about—teach the names of local
offices and who fill them, their compensation,
etc. Reviews are very useful to accomplish
teaching the subject under discussion.
D. W. Geiss said the subject would have to
be studied according to the time at hand.
Name topics a few days previous to discus-
sion. Allow pupils to ask questions and thus
secure interest. At present the war in South
Africa is the most interesting and instructive
topic.
#* *
The subject that called forth the hottest
discussion was one that was applicable to the
home schools and was participated in by oth-
ers than teachers, namely, ‘‘Co-operation be-
tween teachers and parents.’’ Professor
Meyer said that it was a teachers’
duty to study pupils outside as well
as inside of school, and to do this he
should when possible visit the home of the
pupil. It was also the teachers’ duty to speak
to his patrons when he met them on the
streets and talk with: them concerning their
children under his care, and thus show that
he manifested an interest in them.
The writer stated that teachers as a rule
only called it ‘‘co-operation” when parents
and all others concerned endorses the meth-
ods of teachers. If a suggestion was made
that necessitates a modification, or erasure of
a method or whim the action is called by al-
together a different name. Co-operation is
to an end, and to secure the highest possible
attainments of the public school the co-opera-
tion of parents must often be directly oppo-
site to the ideas of the teacher in charge.
Citizens have a just right to rebel against
wrong methods employed in the school room.
J. J. Arney corroborated the former speak-
er, and added that if the co-operation of the
parents were desired he thought it the duty
of teachers to court it by going to them and
asking their advice.
“The Dukite Snake” was the title ofa
poem recited by Miss Anna Bartholomew, in
a most pleasing manner.
This is not the “‘official”’ report of the in-
stitute. These notes were prepared especial-
ly for the WATCHMAN.
