“Smiling” Bobby Jones opened
her three night’s engagement at the
opera house last night and those who
saw the show speak very highly of it.
“Smiling” Bobby captured the audi-
ence at once and while she is a cleve:
little star she has surrounded herself
with a very capable company. The
stage settings are superb and the
plays are worth seeing.
The “Watchman’s” Pleasant
Gap correspondent exemplifies his
versatility this week with an article
entitled, “A Sermon on Corns.” We
call attention to it because of the fact
that his “sermon” is based on “a very
prepossessing lady” he saw walking
on the streets of Bellefonte one day
recently and it is quite evident that
the correspondent is of a very observ-
ing nature. But we’ll wager our last
year’s hat that nobody can guess who
the young lady was.

was a member of an auto party from
Spring Mills, the driver being Lucien
Snyder. Their car went over the same
bridge where the Krape girl, of Pot-
ters Mills, was killed less than a year
ago. Snyder escaped with minor in-
juries and an eight year old boy,
asleep on the rear seat of the car, was
not even wakened by the fall of the
car. When the water began to close
around him he opened his eyes in
amazement, then scrambled to the
bank unhurt.
COUNTY TEACHERS HERE THIS
WEEK.
Big Attendance at Annual Institute
Held in the Court House.
A very large percentage of the two
hundred and seventy-five school
teachers so far listed in Centre coun-
ty enrolled for the opening session of
the seventy-fourth annual teachers’
institute on Monday. It was just 2:05
o’clock in the afternoon when the in-
stitute opened with the singing of one
stanza of “America” followed with
the song “Joy to the World.” Rev. E.
J. Dunn led in the devotional exercis-
es after which Rev. E. C. XKeboch,
Methodist minister of Harrisburg,
who has very ably filled the position
of musical director of the institute,
gave a short talk on the advantages
of singing in the public schools.
County superintendent David O. Et-
ters addressed the institute briefly,
explaining why it was considered ad-
visable to have the institute at this
time instead of during the school
term. He also asked the teachers to
give especial attention to the talk of
W. M. Denison, on school attendance,
The first speaker introduced was Dr.
A. J. Kinneman, of Bowling Green,
Ky., who talked on “The Unknown
Teacher.” Illustrating his subject he
took the rural teacher, who is not one
of the community, and in contrast de-
scribed the teacher who is bigger than
the four walls of his school house. He
gets outside, becoming a leader indus-
trially, socially, religiously and mor-
ally, with the result that he makes an
impress not only upon the lives of his
pupils but the entire community. The
teacher has the opportunity to assist
materially in establishing a cleaner
community life. Take a big heart in
going into a school community and
bring comfort and good will to the pa-
trons as well as the pupils, then you
will not be the unknown teacher but
the useful teacher.
Th= next instructor introduced was
Miss Nellie E. Turner, of Tidioute,
Pa., who talked on reading in the
grades above the primary. Miss Tur-
ner said we cannot build a method on
interest, on imagination, or on spirit.
It must be on facts. There are prob-
lems to be gotten out in reading the
same as in other branches of study.
She illustrated her meaning by ex-
planatory talks on various sentences
showing how to create the pupils’ in-
terest in the subject matter and thus
make of reading an interesting study
instead of a perfunctory performance.
She also urged the teachers to see
that their pupils while reading stood
on two feet, in an upright position,
and net lagging on one foot.
Tuesday morning’s session was open-
ed with devotional services by Rev.
Alexander Scott and after a short
musical session John Payne, who has
oversight over the vocation school
work in Centre county, was introduc-
ed and talked briefly on the intents
and purposes of the vocational school.
He stated that the vocational school
was started as an experiment-in 1913,
when five of them were located in dif-
ferent localities of the State, and he
predicted that within the next ten or
twelve years every child in the State
will have educational advantages
twelve months in the year, the sum-
mer months being devoted to active
vocational work. At present many
High schools have vocational depart-
ments. Mr. Payne advocated the con-
solidation or centralization of schools
as a means of securing better work-
ing results.
Following the singing of the “Old
Folks at Home,” Miss Turner review-
ed the work of Monday afternoon in
regard to reading.
TUESDAY SESSIONS.
Dr. Kinneman’s talk on Tuesday
was on the school theory and practice.
He said that the way a teacher per-
forms in the school room is determin-
ed to a large extend by the attitude
of mind of the teacher. The absolute-
ly necessary factors to a school are
teacher and pupil, and organization.
The school is the spiritual organiza-
tion of pupil and teacher for the
learning, development, progress and
enlargement of the one under the di-
rection of the other. The teacher does
not send thought over into the pupil’s
storehouses, but present and interpret
signs and symbols so that
the children may understand and
grow into good and useful men and
women.
Miss Turner occupied the first per-
iod of Tuesday afternoon, explaining
and illustrating the use of connecting
words in reading, such as “and,” “or,”
“put” and “if.” By an understanding
of the proper uses of the words on the
part of the teacher the pupil can be
made to see why emphasis is placed
on certain words and not on others.
Dr. Kinneman’s afternoon talk was
on which way are we going ? Illustrat-
ing the meaning of his subject he said
that each generation must make some
progress; master the achievements of
previous generations then add its
own discoveries and inventions.
WEDNESDAY’S WORK.
On Wednesday morning superin-
tendent M. F. Jones, of Wellsboro,
Tioga county, talked on thrift. The
big thing in the teaching of thrift
is the development of the right char-
acter in the child. He told of two
schools he had visited, one a model of
neatness in every way, which showed
thrift in all its phases. The other
one just the reverse. He advocated
making the school a business prop-
osition, where everything is done in
the best way, promptly and cheer-
fully.
Miss Elizabeth B. Meek gave a
short talk on the modern health cru-
sade and following a period of music
Dr. Kinneman talked on progress as
a continuation of his theme of Tues-
day afternoon. Wednesday afternoon
Dr. Kinneman talked on management
in the school room. In addition to
the regular instructors yesterday Dr.
J. L. Seibert, of Bellefonte, addressed
the institute briefly on health work
in the schools. The institute will
close with this (Friday) morning’s
session.
—Enforce the Traffic Ordinance or
repeal it. !
——A little son was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Edward J. Decker last Wed-
nesday.
———The public sale of the Ammer-
man property on Bishop street has
been held up pending the establish-
ment of the correct lines. The hun-
dreds of bottles of Vintena in the cel-
lar are still there, awaiting a decision
of the Department of Justice as to
how it can be legally disposed of.
—— Next Monday will be labor day
and while there will not be any special
demonstration in this place, Belle-
fonters will have the choice of going
to the big Nypen band picnic at Hecla
park or to the big gathering out at
Snow Shoe. Most people, however,
will likely go to Hecla, where there
will be two concerts by the Nypen
band.
—The Scenic has been a popular
place of diversion among the school
teachers this week, and has been
crowded every evening. Manager T.
Clayton Brown went to considerable
trouble and expense to put on extra
good programs every evening for the
benefit of the teachers. Of course,
his regular programs are always in-
teresting and worth seeing and you
will never make a mistake by going to
the Scenic. :
—M. A. Landsy last Thursday deliv-
ered an exceptionally fine oil paint-
ing of David Chambers, which now
adorns the walls of his home at Clar-
ence. The painting was from the
Philadelphia studio of Antrim & Land-
sy, and while these well known ar-
tists are celebrated for their fine pic-
tures, either in oil or pastel, the paint-
ing of Mr. Chambers is so true to
life and realistic that those who have
seen it felt almost as if they were
standing face to face with Davy.
——Owing to the fact that the reg-
istrar at State College has this year
been compelled to refuse admission to
about one thousand young men and
women, friends of the College have al-
ready started a movement to bring
before the next Legislature the ques-
tion of the enlargement of that in-
stitution to such an extent that it will
be able to meet all demands made
upon it. To do this will require a
number of new buildings and conse-
quently require a very liberal appro-
priation upon the part of the next
Legislature.
——Some unknown miscreant piled
some logs over the Nittany valley
state road on Sunday night at a point
near the road going into the Nittany
Country club. The driver of the bus
coming from Lock Haven to Bellefonte
did not notice the obstruction until he
was too close to stop but he managed
to yell to his few passengers to hold
tight and then he struck the logs. The
big bus went over the logs but it
was with a jolt that sent the passen-
gers bumping against the roof. Who
put the logs across the road, or what
the object was in doing so, is of course
unknown.
Sl ta he
Building state highways these
days, with the wages and scarcity of
labor is no cinch of a job. Take the
little contract in Bellefonte. borough.
The work has been dragging along all
summer and as it looks now the job
will not be completed this year. In
fact the concreting on Bishop street
is not yet done, and it will probably
be several weeks yet before that small
stretch of road is thrown open to the
public. Of course the contractor was
held up in his work by the sewers that
had to be put down by the borough,
but the shortage of labor has been one
of the biggest drawbacks.
The Internatnonal Engineering
and Construction company, of Scran-
ton, began last week on the pouring
of the top dressing on the Bellefonte
to Pleasant Gap State highway. The
dressing is a mixture of small stone,
cement, sand and asphaltam. When
rolled it becomes very hard and
smooth and Bellefonte kiddies were
not long in discovering the fact that it
is an ideal place for roller skating.
In fact it beats any ordinary rink all
to pieces and as long as the road is
closed to traffic it is a splendid place
for the children to play, but when
opened up it will be just as uangerous
as it is now safe and delightful.

——The Business Men’s Association
of Bellefonte wishes in this public
way to express appeciation to the
public at large for their generous pat-
ronage of their first annual picnic
held at Hecla park. They also wish
to state that they had nothing to do
with any of the concessions on the
ground and received no benefit from
anything except the afternoon danc-
ing privilege in the pavilion. In con-
nection with the association and the
interest it has shown in furnishing en-
tertainment for the people of Belle-
fonte community, it might be
said that they paid out over
five hundred dollars for the
summer concerts given in Bellefonte
by the Wetzler band, of Milesburg,
the last of the series of concerts be-
ing given last week.
PILOT MAX MILLER KILLED.
Crashed to Earth in a Burning Junker
Plane.
Max Miller, one of the most expert
pilots in the government aerial ser-
vice and who was so well known in
Bellefonte, met a tragic death at Moxr-
ristown, N. J., on Wednesday morning
when the Junker plane he was driving
caught fire and crashed to the ground
on one of the main streets of Morris-
town, instantly killing the pilot and
his mechanician, a young man named
Rierson, of Troy, Idaho.
Pilot Miller left Hazelhurst field,
New York, about six o’clock on Wed-
nesday morning with a cargo of mail
for Chicago. According to the story
of residents in the neighborhood of
Morristown, N. J., he was flying com-
paratively low and seemed to be hav-
ing trouble with the motor, as the
sounds of considerable - back-firing
were heard by the people below. Then
in an instant the plane burst into
flames and almost simultaneously it
went into a nose dive and crashed to
earth on one of Morristown’s main
streets. Both the wing gas tanks ex-
ploded and the wings of the plane and
the mail bags shot up in the air a
hundred feet.
Miller and his mechanician were
buried beneath the wreckage, and
there was just enough of fire to burn
their clothing and disfigure the faces
of both so that they were unrecogniz-
able, but communication with the gov-
ernment field at Hazelhurst establish-
ed the identity of the men beyond
question.
Quite naturally everybody in Belle-
fonte was shocked to hear of the
tragic death of pilot Miller. To him
belonged the credit of establishing the
aviation field in Bellefonte. It will be
recalled that Mr. Miller was the path-
finder for the Wilson aerial mail route
from New York to Chicago. Lock
Haven was originally scheduled as the
landing place in this part of the State
but after Mr. Miller tried out both
Lock Haven and Bellefonte he unhes-
itatingly recommended the Bellefonte
field as the better place. This was
two years ago and ever since, espe-
cially since the establishment of the
aerial service sixteen months ago pilot
Miller has been closely identified with
Bellefonte people.
He was one of the best pilots in the
aerial mail service, a fact demon-
strated on more than one occasion.
The fact will now be recalled how last
summer he safely brought his plane
to earth a short distance north of Un-
ionville when it caught fire in midair.
At that time he made a nose dive of a
thousand feet, smothered the flames
and escaped the smoke cloud, then
glided safely to earth with a badly
wrecked motor. Only two weeks ago
he had another thrilling escape when
he was compelled to make a forced
landing in one of the Junker planes in
the woods near Houtzdale owing to a
clogged gas feed pipe. He drove his
machine between two trees and, while
the wings were ripped off and the
plane almost demolished, Miller es-
caped without a scratch.
He was a pilot who never lost his
head in case of trouble and because
of this fact it is the belief of his
friends here that when his plane be-
came enveloped in flames on Wednes-
day both Miller and his mechanician
were overcome with the fire and heat
and they didn’t have a chance to save
themselves or the plane.
Miller, who was about thirty-two
years old, was a native of Stockholm,
Sweden where his mother still lives.
| Mr. Miller's wife lives in Washing-
ton, D. C., and he will be buried there
tomorrow.
while the Watchman doesn’t wish to
intimate that there is anything faulty
in the construction of the Junker
planes, it is rather a significant coin-
cidence that on Tuesday W. L. Smith’s
plane caught fire just as he was land-
ing in Chicago. Fortunately he got
down all right, though his hands and
face were slightly burned.
A Special Return Train for the Labor
Day Celebration at Snow Shoe.
The promotors of the big celebra-
tion that Snow Shoe is staging for
next Monday, Labor Day, are going to
make it as convenient as possible for
people on this side to get back home
after the joys of the good times that
are promised are at an end.
A special train has been chartered
to leave Snow Shoe at 11 o’clock Mon-
day night and run clear through to
Bellefonte. By this arrangement per-
sons can leave here at 9:05 in the
morning or 1:45 in the afternoon, have
almost a full day of the big doings
on top of the mountain and return at
a seasonable hour.
Remember, that Snow Shoe has a
reputation for entertaining visitors
well.
