MISCELLANEOUS DOINGS OF BOROUGH -CouNcIL.—Eight members were present at the regular meeting of borough coun- cil on Monday evening, Dr. Brockerhoff There were no verbal communications and under the head of written communications the re- port of the boiler inspector regarding the inspection of H. 2 T boiler at the water works was read. In the main the boiler is in good condition, but a few repairs were suggested. A letter from the Portland Cement company was read inviting council to be present at the lecture on good roads and pavements given by a representative of the company at the court house yester- day morning. A request was received from the Civic club for permission to flush the paved streets, both on Allegheny street and at the bridge, and the matter was referred to the Street committee. street for a pavement along that thor- oughfare was also referred to the Street committee. The Water committee reported order- ing a car load of coal direct from the mines to be delivered about the first of April, at a cost of 2.20 per ton. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented the report of the burgess for the past two weeks with his check for $7.00 net fines collected. Chairman Harris, of the Street com- mittee, advocated purchasing a one-horse street sweeper, a log drag for use on such thoroughfares as High, Lamb and Water streets, and securing a horse and | cart at once to clean up the streets. The | two latter were referred to the commit- | tee with power to act. | The Water committee recommended | the same rate for water rentals as last year, which is 90 per cent. of the sched- | ule, and council approved the recom- ! mendation. Mr. Lyon inquired as to how often the Y. M. C. A. authorities had the right to | fill the swimming pool, as he was in- formed that it was now being filled three | times a week. The ordinance governing the same was referred to and it states! that “the pool can be filled not over twice a week and advance notice must be given the Water committee of the inten- tion to do so.” The Water committee was instructed to notify the Y. M. C. A. authorities to keep within the contract. The question of alleged back rental due from the Yeager Swing Co. was re- ferred to the Finance committee for some kind of an adjudication. Sigmund Joseph’s term as a member of the board of managers of the Pruner orphanage having expired on March first, he was reappointed for a term of two years by president John S. Walker, and G. Fred Musser was reappointed for one year. The finance committee presented the bond of W. A. Ishler, water rent collec- tor, for $5,000 with the Bellefonte Trust company as security, and the same was approved by council. The committee also asked for the renewal of notes as follows: One for $2,000 dated March 17th for six months; $500 March 17th, s:x months; $500 March 21st, one year; $1,400 March 21st, one year; $5,000 March 26th, six months; $1,200 March 29th, six months; $2,000 March 31st, one year; and $4,000 March 24th, now held by the Bellefonte Trust company which will probably be taken by an individual. The Special committee reported that they had inspected the Phoenix mill and found it badly in need of repairs and that they had received the following bids: Theodore B. Haupt, $331.00; M. R. John- son, $323.44; Rhoads & Knisely, $367.30; W. B. Steele Jr., $355, and W. R. Scholl $47.00 for jacking up the mill and re- placing rotten posts. The committee recommended a concrete floor. The -i. president referred the matter back to the committee with power to act, when Mr. Seibert again brought up. the ques- tion of a new turbine wheel, urging ‘the necessity of securing it at once and im stalling same when other repairs are be- ing made. He also objected to a concrete floor in the mill on the grounds that any repairs in the future would be hard to make. Mr. Lyon stated that he talked to Col. Reynolds and he was satisfied with a concrete floor. After twenty minutes discussion the matter was re- ferred to the Special committee and Wa- ter committee to thresh out, and with power to act. Then came a general and animated discussion of miscellaneous questions - which lasted another quarter of an hour without results, after which bills to the amount of $649.79 were approved and council adjourned.

She was aged thirty-one years and had been a sufferer from rheumatism for several months. Because of her sun- ny disposition she had a host of friends and her beautiful life and patient suffer- ing were an inspiration to all who were privileged to know her. She was a life- long member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She is survived by her father and mother and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. George Spears, of Providence, R. I.; Mrs. James Hipple, of Morristown, N. J.; Harry T. and Mrs. N. R. McNaughton, of Karthaus, and Paul and Jane, at home. The funeral took place from her late home on Monday afternoon, the services being conducted by Revs. Cobb and Cook. Six cousins acted as casket-bearers and interment was made in the Keewaydin cemetery. | I LoscH.—William Sanders Losch died very suddenly last Wednesday morning while working around the barn on the Olewine farm in Spring township. Heart failure was assigned as the cause. De- ceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs.. Isaac Losch and was born in Dauphin county. At the time of his death he was 59 years, 10 months and 3 days old. He had been a resident of Centre county for thirty-five years. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Henry Snyder who survives with the following step-children: C. W. Sny- der, G. S.

CENTRE COUNTIANS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER | FLORIDA.—Centre countians are going to i put another Bellefonte on the map and it is to be located in Lake county, Flori- | da, about a mile and a half from Lake | Weir. At least that is what they will do | if their enthusiasm and money hold out long enough. Ever since E. H. L. Page, D. I. Willard, Thomas H. Harter and G. | Willard Hall returned from a trip to | Florida last week they have done little ! talking on any subject except the won- derful opportunity that awaits the home seeker in that State. t- On Monday an exhibition of Florida fruits, with many photographs of fruit . farms, fine country residences, etc., was ‘placed in one of the windows of F. P. Blair & Son’s jewelry store. The same ; morning E. H. L. Page, representative of | the Lake County Land Growers Associa- : tion, got busy and in one hour disposed , of a number of options for land in what ' is to be known as the Centre county set- { tlement. This land ordinarily sells for ' i $50 an acre, but because they expect to (sell a large amount of land to Centre | county people the price has been put at $35.00. They have also selected a site for a and every man who buys ground in the colony will be given an acre of town lots for $35. The WATCHMAN force is indebt- ed to Mr. Willard, Mrs. M. C. Gephart and Mr. Harter for a sample of the oranges and grape fruit grown in that State, as each had a liberal supply ship- ped to them here. Another excursion was run on Tues- day of this week and among those who went on it were Representative C. L. Gramley, of Rebersburg, and Samuel H. Donachy, of Bellefonte. . "ANOTHER COURT DECISION.—On Wed- an opinion and decree in the case of the Anthracite Lumber company vs. John Tonér Lucas, in which he awarded the casq was a bill in equity brought by the plaintiff to have the court adjudicate a disputed claim. Mr. Lucas, the defend- ant, had been engaged by the plaintiff company to cut and deliver lumber on a tract of land owned by said company in Snow Shoe township. Finally a dispute arose over the amount due the defendant for the work. Not being able to come to a settlement they decided to take the matter into court for adjudication. When first heard the court made Mr. Lucas an award of about $3,500. A motion for a new hearing was made by both the plain- tiff and defendant and this was refused by the court but on account of an error in his first award he increased the same to $4,459.86. It is likely the case will be appealed to a higher court. es , more discouraging to see them hesitate ' to pick up a note; but oh! did you ever fail town which is to be named Bellefonte," . be painting our houses every so often, or ‘nesday Judge Ellis L.

On the evening of March tenth, there occurred in our High school building a very interesting talk on “Vocational Ed- ucation.” The vocational was very care- fully defined and treated with reference to its adaptability to grammar schools, (pre-vocational,) High schools, trade schools, etc. By this system children ! will soon be able to choose, say at the age of fourteen, that particular vocation for which they seem to be especially fit- ted. Then upon entering High school, | their life work can be taken up, and at the age of eighteen or thereabouts, they will be self supporting. The trades taught in the different High schools will be dependent upon the industries of that particular town—if we have a demand for carpenters, carpentry will be taught, or if brick layers are needed, brick ma- sonry will be taught. In this way, grad- ually all the trades will be taught, and it is occasion for regret that we may not have them all taught from the beginning. I can well understand the feeling of ! the youngster as he finds for the first time, the sense of achievement, when he plans the article that will be finished by his own hands. I can well understand the cramming for a Greek “exam,” the one instant of relaxation, when it comes over him, “What is it worth any- how?” This same Greek language of these same Greeks, is now spoken of as a dead language—their art and architecture is alive and resplendent in every noted city in the world—has their. literature and philosophy ever been surpassed, and is not Socrates still the greatest of teach- ers? We cannot elude the fact that their practical was an inspiration to their language, and their language an inspira- tion to their architecture. Surely the men who built these temples of Greece were inspired by wonderfully beautiful thoughts—much more beautiful than ours, for we can scarcely copy. It is discouraging to see the fingers fumble the keys of a piano, and it is still to receive inspiration from a well ren dered piece. : We study Egyptian history; there are so many dynasties, the pyramids are so high and so many feet from the Sphinx, they embalmed their dead and put them in mummy cases—these cases were elab- orately decorated. How do we know that these cases were elaborately decorated? Because some of the colors used have withstood the rays of the bright Egyp- tian sun for centuries. If we knew the secret of this preservation, we would not retouching the masterpieces, losing the color and the technique. I think it was the Phoenicians who burned their enemies’ ships at sea by the use of the lens. This was once present- war and destruction. Scientists ‘tell us that could we harness the rays of the sun, it is impossible to estimate the en- ergy that would be thus derived, or its benefit to mankind.” Why didn’t this thought come with the “Phenoecian ships,” instead of the thought of destruc- tion? On the other hand, can we real- ize the'influence that a step further’ in the ordinary lesson would mean to the average child? History suggests that in some ancient country, glass was made that did not break, but would bend. In later years we may stop to think of the great usefulness of just such an article. And so we might go on stating fact after fact in history, bringing out the idea that our present system is not so “worse” after all, if only there were more think- ing and not so much stuyding. It is be- A ing suggested by some European coun- try, that two half days a week be set aside for thinking; but supposing you had to think on Wednesday afternoon! It is “three more pages for tomorrow,” so many pages for the year—amount seems to be the standard. The vocation- al seems to be the solution of this. It is said that when Wisdom came from heaven, she lodged in the tongue of the Arab, the head of the Greek, and the hand of the Chinaman. China was once the birth place of the inventions, just as America is now. Paper was invented there in the third century of ourera. If ! Europe had enjoyed communication with China, it would have learned the art of printing many centuries before it did— think of the result. In massiveness, the great wall of China is the greatest struc- ture the world has ever known—think of its beauty (?) and its purpose! i In your mind, compare the two coun- tries, Greece and China, and their influ- ence on our own country. The beauti- ful thoughts of the Greeks, they were not content to keep unexpressed, but with skillful fingers gave their culture to the whole world. In our larger cities we will have the Liberal and the Vocational, so that by including the Art schools, a child will have almost an unlimited choice. How- ever it has been noticed that the money making proposition, before or early in the twenties, does influence this choice. We might also consider the fact that by having the two entirely separate, the practical courses will not receive a cer- tain inspiration that they would receive if they worked in co-operation with the ideal or liberal course. In our smaller towns, for a while at least, there will be this co-operation among the students of both courses ex- erting an uplifting influence—but gradu- ally there is a wall growing ' up between the two, and many things point to the fact that ultimately the vocational will be the only course. We will figure this way, that if this body of ours can be put on a paying ba- sis at eighteen or twenty,—why graduate from High school knowing what we want to be, then take four years in college in preparation, some experience and then at say twenty-six or eight, charge a profes- sional fee. This is just the point how many in this age can take the time, how | many will take the time to follow the longer course? The dollar is the stand- ard—merit is decreasing in importance every day, The professions are losing the idea of merit—are literature and art slowly falling into line? It seems almost fortunate from some view points that the dreamer or ‘laggard’ as he is some- times called will have no place in this keep alive, get there proposition so that our hopes although decreasing are not entirely gone, for a period as sweeping and as uplifting for America, as was the Rennaissance for Europe. Florence, the cradle of the Rennais- sance can claim as her own a list of mas- ters, of which a nation might be proud— let alone a single city. Among the list are numbered,—poets, statesmen, astron- omers, historians, reformers, discoverers, painters, sculptors, architects—no other city in the world except Athens was so honored. These two, the thought and the hand have come down through the ages together, and where they have worked to form a thing of beauty—giv- ing a joy forever to the countless genera- tions to come, they have also made their particular period one of the brightest periods of history. Please do not misunderstand me—I am entirely in favor of the Vocational Train- ing for children and have always been in favor of it, its powerful influence for the good of the nation as a whole can not be estimated. Sometimes, however, I feel that the normal interpretation of this system, is that it is merely a hand to mouth proposition, a solution for the present. Such an interpretation could not help but have degrading influence. Value is put on the number of schools that have adopted it—and of course at this period it would be impossible to have any other standard, as time can be the only test. A hand seems to point to the schools that are not up to date enough to place this in their curriculum —could there be a possibility of that same hand at a later date pointing to our per- iod of history and saying here is where it all started? A man engaged in a pro- fession that requires the ideal as well as the practical, talking with a group of his colleagues in New York not so long ago, said, with reference to his particular work. “At present we are going back- ward, not to lose ground, but to gather momentum for a leap across the chasm which lies before us.” Now I may have an entirely wrong view point on this whole proposition,— then too, I can only see through one pair of eyes, hear with one pair of ears, express my thoughts in a very crude manner when it comes to words and be- yond all of this is the fact that the peo- ple who are engineering this job know a whole lot more about it than I could ever hope to know; but on the other hand I can not help but feel (for I have stopped, looked and listened all along the way)— that the practical cannot be more thana half century fad,unless it is guided by the liberal, without which the practical will be nothing more than a thought. “History repeats itself” and “Human nature was the same yesterday as it is today.” “Ride as fast and far as we may, we carry the past on our crupper, as immovably seat- ed as the black care of the Roman poet.” The influence of Greece thus comes down to us like waves of brilliancy which still travel although the star is no more. Why not consider these people,—in what de- partment did they not excel? Is it their sculpture that you could question? Is it their language? Is it their property? Is it their philosophy? And from this glor- ious period of history we learn not to re- gard the past men, their thoughts and deeds as dead are useless. The past has made the present for us, and now we are fashioning the future. One lofty senti- ment will beget another, one valiant deed will inspire a second, and a great achieve- ment is a stepping stone to loftier heights. What is said of Athens today may be said of America tomorrow,—“no portion of the earth can give more inspiration than Athens.” So great and far reaching will be the influence of this new or vocational sys- tem, that it seemed almost wrong that it should start with merely a commercial solution for the present and very little thought of the beautiful. Do you remem- ber the story of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, who lured the children from the towns of Germany with beautiful music up into a cave in the mountain side? In vain the parents prayed and cried but their chil- dren never came back. Are you willing to trust your children, for they will be very young, with this strange Piper, who carries on his shoulder a bag of gold, and who plays the most wonderful music which breathes of ease and contentment. “Oh yes, indeed we are?’’ I hear you say. But is it for us to answer this, will we be here to see if they reach the mountain top, how many in this day and age, will or can reach the mountain top? To me it looks as though the average life may be just this,—quickly we learn what we must be, then we jump into it, probably early in the twenties we will look back—to see if we have chosen aright, if in this line we can be of the greatest good to our fellow men. This can only be for instant, competition has already begun and we must keep our foot hold. Soon the bank account starts and then away we go. In this strenuous age, probably early in the sixties we be- gin to realize that we must leave all of this and man is sorely tried because he can not take it with him. That should not worry anybody. The thing that should worry you and me today is this—if we do go tomorrow, will we leave nothing but gold. ar Bucy WRECKED BY Auto Bus.—On Saturday afternoon there was a collision between one of the big auto busses and George Noll’s buggy and the latter got the worst of it. Mr. Noll, who lives above Pleasant Gap, was driving north on Spring street and the bus was coming down High. They reached the intersec- tion of the street about the same time and the driver of the bus and Mr. Noll both thought the other would give the right of way and neither doing so the bus hit the right hind wheel of the bug- gy, smashing it to pieces and throwing Mr. Noll out of the vehicle. Fortunate- ly the horse did not run away and Mr. Noll was not injured, but his buggy need- ed repairing before further usage. LAST MEETING OF STUDY CLASS.—The last session of the Study Class for this year will be held on Tuesday evening, March 24th, at eight o'clock, in the High school building. Miss Elizabeth M. Blanchard, president of the Woman's Club and Study Class, will be prepared to talk on “The Purpose of Life.” It goes without saying that those who attend will hear a very great deal that will be well worth while. Don’t miss this op- portunity. Many regrets are being ex- pressed because the time for the Study Class to adjourn has come. It has been both instructive and enjoyable and the concensus of opinion is that it is an es- tablished feature of Bellefonte. ee CHAUTAUQUA ORGANIZER COMING. — Miss Anna Oppenlander, director of the Junior Chautauqua, will arrive in Belle- fonte on Friday morning, March 27th. She will speak to the “grown ups” and also to the Junior Chautauquans, so please remember the date. She is espec- ially fitted to carry on her work and those who heard her last year will want to do so again on this date. Take your friends so that they may enjoy what Miss Oppenlander will say. Later information in next week’s paper. EE EXIT THE GROUNDHOG.—As a weather prognosticator Mr. Groundhog had it all over the weather bureau this year, but thank goodness his reign came to an end on Tuesday. And just to prove that he didn’t exact every day that was coming to him he let up last week and from Fri- day until Tuesday night of this week we had nice weather. The kind that took the snow in a way that did not raise the streams sufficient to do any damage. Tuesday night, however, it brought rain and Wednesday snow and rain, and the temperature being normal it was about as disagreeable under foot as it was pos- sible to be. But Spring begins tomorrow and everybody can take consolation in the fact that winter weather can’t las much longer. a KOKANOVIC—DRAKUBIC—Stogan Koka- novic and Miss Annie Drakubic, both from the Whiterock quarries Italian settlement, were united in marriage on Monday morning by justice of the peace Henry Brown, in his office in the Lyric theatre. The bridegroom conducts a boarding house at Whiterock and is not only quite popular among his country- men but is held in high regard by all who know him. He and his bride were given a big wedding celebration on Mon- day evening.
