The Plot Thickens.
In last week's issue of this paper we
mentioned the probability of a close fight
for the Republican nomination for school
director in the North ward between Mr.
prediction was fulfilled. In fact the plot
thickens. Anyone who has been a close
student of the local political situation will
understand our statement that probably
no phase of local politics has been as
complex as the selection of nominees for
school director in the North ward.
The trouble dates back years and to
follow it from the beginning down to the
present time would take columns of our
space so that we will not undertake to
recount all the various divisions and
dissensions of the Republicans of the North
that led up to the downfall of Mr. QuiG-
LEY on Saturday night.
Off hand, the casual observer might
say that the new school building had
something to do with it. Possibly it had,
but at the most it could have been very
little, for while there is no denying that
there has been dissatisfaction over its
construction we are of the opinion that
the great majority of our taxpayers realize
that it has gone too far now to back track
and that there is no other alternative
than to accept what has been done and
make the most of it. In fact this deduc-
tion is further supported by the re-nomi-
nation of Mr. HEINLE, without opposition,
by the Democrats of the South. If there
was serious trouble in the North over the
new school building for Mr. QUIGLEY sure-
ly some should have developed against
Mr. HEINLE in the South from the same
cause.
Some advance the theory that Mr.
QUIGLEY was defeated for the re-nomina-
tion because of the fact that he is a trustee
of the Academy. In all probability, if
this argument was used against him, it
made some votes for Mr. COOK, but if it
did it is a serious reflection on the good
sense and liberal mindedness of those who
were affected by it. There isno competi-
tion between the public schools of Belle-
fonte and the Academy. They are not in
conflict in anything. The public schools
are free and supported by a tax levy. The
Academy charges tuition and is support-
ed by its voluntary patrons. Asa matter
of fact the people of Bellefonte and Cen-
tre county should understand that the
Academy is more of a public school than
the public schools themselves. It was
created by Act of Assembly long before
the public school system of the State was
established and to-day it is as much the
property of the people of Centre county
as any township school house init. The
property is not held by any private cor-
poration and is controlled by a board of
trustees whose selection was provided for
by the Act of Assembly above referred
to. This statement is made for the in-
formation of those who are prone to
imagine a rivalry between the two institu-
tions of learning when there is not and
cannot be any. Knowing, however, that
there are such persons in our community
we repeat that Mr. QUIGLEY'S identifica-
tion with the Academy may have been
worked for some votes against him in
this contest.
Over and above these and other rea- |
sons that we might refer to we are still |
inclined to the belief that the fight was a
personal one; engendered by local dis-
sensicns in the North over this office years
ago, fanned into a blaze when the “Big
Five” upset the long established order of
things on the school board and kept burn.
ing by numerous little clashes between
the factions who have never thought to
look for a hole in which to bury their
hatchet.
The contest is over and Mr. COOK has
won by a majority of two votes. The very
slenderness of the majority will probably
prove another casus belli in the North.

SATURDAY'S PRIMARIES. — Last Satur-
day's primaries were characterized by
two contests which excited more than
passing interest, that between Henry C.
Quigley and Charles F. Cook, for the
nomination for school director on the Re-
publican North ward ticket, and that be-
tween John M. Keichline and James H.
Corl, for the nomination for justice of the
peace on the Democratic ticket in the
South and West wards. In the former
case Cook won over Quigley by the nar-
row margin of two votes while Keichline
won over Corl by twelve of a majority.
On the borough ticket the Republicans
made no nomination against P. H. Gher-
rity for overseer of the poor while the
Democrats endorsed Edward J. Gehret as
borough treasurer. In the the North ward |
th= Democrats made no nomination against
W. H. Musser for justice o the peace.
On the borough ticket the Re:publicans
nominated Cheney K. Hicklen for auditor
but he withdrew in ordsr to make the
fight for school dire:tor in the South ward
“and John Curiin was put on in his place.
The tickets nominated by both parties are

STATE COLLECE TO HAVE AN APPREN-
TICE SCHOOL IN ALTOONA.—The annual
meeting of the board of trustees of The
Pennsylvania State College was held in
Harrisburg on Tuesday evening and they
endorsed the movement for college ex-
tension, which includes a night school in
! Williamsport and an apprentices’ school
in Altoona. It was also decided to sup-
port the train for instruction in safety
appliances to be run through the mining
regions of the State.
The trustees re-elected General James
A. Beaver, Bellefonte, president; H. Walton
Mitchell, Pittsburg, vice president, and
Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the college,
secretary. The executive committee was
| also re-elected and the following instruc-
tors were chosen: Homer Clouker, Still-
water, Okla., and H. A. Dodge, Burlington,
Vt.; assistants in animal nutrition; J. W.
Gregg, Philadelphia, assistant in horti-
culture, and C. A. Hogentogler, Hoben-
i sack, N. J. ,assistant in civil engineering.
The apprentice school, which was en-
| dorsed by the trustees, will be started in
‘one of the departments of the Altoona
shops about the middle of February, and
will be constituted of thirty students from
the fourth year apptenticeship in the
shops.
Instruction will be given two afternoons
each week during the term, beginning at
1 o'clock, and each session being of two
| hours’ duration. Instructors from the
| engineering department of State College
will give the members of the class in-
| struction along the various lines that will
! be taken up. During the next two weeks
