Bellefonte, Pa., September 9, 1921. ALL ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. ——Sunday evening’s hard rain was badly needed, but it came too late to save certain garden crops. A little daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Walker last Thursday morning, has been named Mary Cath- erine. A little daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Swartz, at Tus- seyville, on August 27th. It is their first child, notwithstanding the fact that they have been married fourteen years. Following the continued ex- . tremely critical condition of Mr. Dag- gett all during the week, the an- nouncement yesterday morning of a slight rally was very pleasing to his hosts of friends. Lot owners in the Treziyulny cemetery in Boggs township are re- quested to cut the weeds and grass and clean up their lots. Other portions of the cemetery have been cleaned up by those in charge and lots should be made to correspond. — A fire on the roof of the Mrs. R. S. Brouse home on Thomas street at noon on Wednesday called out the fire department, but the flames were extinguished before the firemen ar-| rived. The fire started from sparks from the flue, and a small hole was burned in the roof. “Oh, Oh, Cindy,” is a musical production of the revue type. The libretto, music and costumes are the property of the John B. Rogers Pro- ducing company. The leading talent in Bellefonte will take part in its pro- duction here Wednesday, September 21st. Proceeds for fire equipment. The Millheim Business Men’s association, which by the way, is a real live wire organization, visited Bellefonte on Monday evening on their way home from a run to Tyrone and had dinner at the Brockerhoff house. Reservations had been made for sev- enty-five and just seventy-two were in the crowd. Acording to a statement issued by registrar A. H. Espenshade just 1105 new students have been granted admission to State College this year, and over one thousand boys and girls qualified for entrance had to be reject- ed because of inadequate accommoda- tions. new students admitted. Mr. J. Herbert and his troupe of colored minstrels, gave one of the best performances in the opera house on Monday evening of any minstrel troupe appearing in Bellefonte in re- “¢ent years. It was a clean-cut, fun- making entertainment, and while the hcuse was not as large as it should have been, all present enjoyed it. : Rev. R. M. Campbell, of Grays- ville, on Sunday notified his congrega- tion that he will retire from the active ministry in two weeks. Rev. Camp- bell is now in his eightieth year and has been preaching for fifty-three years. He has been on the Graysville charge nineteen years and evidently feels that he has done his work and is entitled to retire. business at the old stand. With big programs of up-to-date motion pic- tures every evening in the week Belle- fonte people will have the advantage of good, clean entertainment. Watch the weekly programs published in each is- sue of the “Watchman.” The State College Times last week got out a special edition com- memorating the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of that tewn as a borough. State College was chartered August 29th, . 1896, and at that time had but 300) population while the attendance at the College numbered 300 students. To- day the borough has a population of 3.000 while the attendance at the Col- lege is also about 3000. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Decker, of Bellefonte, announce the marriage of their daughter, Helen Sears Decker, to John F. Smith Jr.,, at Cumberland, Md., on September 6th. The bride was one of the graduates at the Belle- fente High school in June and is well known in Bellefonte’s younger set. The bridegroom is the youngest son of former register of Centre county, J. Frank Smith, and served in the navy during the world war. One of the season’s society events of Punxsutawney will be the | wedding of Miss Ellen Swartz, of that Place, and Dr. Ira Pratt, of Coates- wille, which will take place at the home of the bride, Thursday, September 15th. Miss Swartz is the only daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Swartz and was a member of the class of 1921, Swarthmore College. In her short va- cation periods spent at home she has always been one of the most popular members of the younger set. They will make their home at Coatesville. An illustrated lecture with lan- tern slides will be given in St. John’s parish house this (Friday) evening at ‘7:30 o'clock on the subject of the great cathedral which the Episcopal church is slowly erecting on the beautiful Mt. St. Alban, in the city of Washington. When completed this will be one of the most beautiful shrines of Christen- dom. The lecture is simply to inter- est the public generally in this reli- gious and artistic enterprise, so there will be no collection and no appeal for funds. The lecturer will be Miss Sa- rah Van Gundy, a teacher in the ca- #hedral school for girls, in Washing- fon. Ninety women are among the Labor day, the Granger’s picnic | and teachers’ institute are things of | the past, but the Scenic is still doing : TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE LARGELY ATTENDED. Interesting Questions Discussed by Various Instructors. There were comparatively few ab- sentees among the three Lundred or more school teachers in Centre county at the opening session of the seveniy- fifth annual teachers’ institute in the court house on Monday afternoon. The institute was opened with music conducted by Prof. Griffiths, after which Rev. George E. Smith led in prayer. Superintendent David O. Et- ters addressed the institute briefly, urging the teachers to be punctual in attendance and give their entire at- tention to the instructors. He then introduced as the initial speaker Prof. P. M. Harbold. Prof. Harbold began his discussion of the recent progress and growth in American education with the state- ment that Centre county was the orig- inator of the county institute. He stated that the American high school is this year celebrating its one hun- dredth anniversary, having been start- ed in Boston in 1821, being the out- come of the Latin grammar school and the old-time academies. Philadelphia | was the second city to establish high i schools, then New York, Baltimore, i Charleston, Cincinnati, and Hartford. The greatest growth in the high i schools came in the period from 1890 | to 1918 when the increase was 452 per cent. The largest high school in the i country is in Los Angeles, Cal. The liberality of the high school courses is quite noteworthy. Pennsylvania has {made wonderful strides of late, hav- ling at this time about one thousand high schools. Such schools afford the | largest opportunity for community | service and should receive our heart- | iest support. | After a brief song service Dr. D. A. i Anderson, of State College, was intro- duced. He spoke on teacher’s qualifi- | cations and stated that the teachers {are meeting all requirements. Ele- mentary education is for all. Reading |is a basic study and can not be neg- |lected. It is not only an essential but !the chief tool. The main end in ele- mentary education is achieved if the ! child acquires a taste for reading good | literature. Teaching to read implies { imparting the ability and creating the i desire to read. Knowledge is of two | kinds, by personal contact, and by in- | formation through the experience of "others. In the beginning reading is chiefly“ technique. The next step is when the child becomes interested in what he reads. The methods must be adapted to the many conditions which arise. There are two kinds of read- ing, oral and silent. Oral teaches technique. Silent should be given much time and attention, as ninety- five per cent. of reading in later life is silent. i sa TUESDAY MORNING SESSION. Following the song and prayer serv- | ice on Tuesday morning Dr. Harbold spoke on better English. The indif- ference of the Pennsylvania German to language sense is felt in our schools. Do not give books too early, as the child must then conquer the : written words as well as the sense of language. Dr. Anderson in his period stated ‘that any one who desires to become a ‘leader must master English. The teaching profession is the formative force. Society has decreed that the , teacher must be better equipped and trained than the doctor and lawyer. i It is not so important what the pupil ‘will do as what he or she will be. i Teaching brings the highest recom- pense of any profession. To get best ' results teacher training is necessary. | Physical and moral fitness are essen- ‘tials. High ideals, attendance at ed- {ucational institutes and institutions, {any means whereby one may improve | for the work. After a brief song service Supt. J. {Y. Shambach was introduced and i spoke on compulsory attendance. He said that schools are for the children. Get pupil, parents and teacher into the ‘right frame of mind so that the “Gold- en Rule” may be the common motto. He explained the law in regard to reg- ular and punctual attendance. Begin legal proceedings promptly. Do it firmly and courteously, and if this is done there will not be so many cases to consider. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Speaking on improvement in service at the afternoon session Dr. Anderson said the present is a meritorious time. Teacher’s efficiency ought to be rated. This should be done in part by the | teachers. Prof. Griffiths entertained the insti- tute with two beautiful vocal solos, after which Dr. Harbold discussed written English and stated that a great majority of pupils dislike writ- ten English, principally because the teachers dislike it. Welcome every opportunity to write. He cited in- stances of expert writers who practic- ed writing the English language until they became efficient. English is one of the hardest branches to teach. Watch the individual pupil to ascer- tain the time when he is ready to break forth into the study and under- standing of English. Supt. Shambach explained the new school register and monthly report cards. WEDNESDAY MORNING. Following the song service and prayer Supt. Etters introduced Dr. W. D. Lewis, who talked on English com- position. The art of composition is the effort to produce a desired reac- tion. The aim: Expression in speech and expression in writing. The con- tent: What are we talking about? The method: By interchange of ideas. The aim of education is to teach peo- ple to do better the desirable things. tional forces in rural life. If we wish to be broad rather than narrow rural life gives us this opportunity in the variety of experiences. The most im- portant thing a teacher can do is to let the boy and girl know that his life reaches out to theirs. { Speaking along the same line Dr. Harbold told the institute to teach children, not the subjects to save time. Combine subjects wherever possible. Combine interest with education to get the best results. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Continuing his talk on the rural schools Dr. Anderson contrasted the “little red school house” of years ago, with its poor system of heating, light- ing and ventilation, to the present day rural schools. He stated that schools should be the centres of a richer com- munity life and the teacher a leader in the community. At the song service Mrs. Morris Krader favored the institute with two appropriate solos, after which Dr. Harbold spoke on materials in teach- ing. He told the teachers to get in- formation from the community life that will interest the children and use it in examples, etc. Lack of space prevents us giving a detailed report of yesterday’s exer- cises, but they were just as interesting and beneficial as the talks of previous days. The institute will close with this morning’s session and the teach- ers will have two days in which to as- similate the many good things they heard before starting work on their school term. Public Health Education Features for the Autumn. Miss Eleanor “Weston, who, in her | role of “San Tan,” the health clown, “has delighted and instructed hundreds isnawered the last voll call during the ' of the school children of Pennsylva- | nia during the last two years, gave her ‘last performance, Thursday morning, i before the teachers’ institute, to dem- | onstrate the unique methods now be- i ing used to induce children to play the health game. While San Tan’s retire- "ment will cause a wail of regret from the little folks who looked forward so eagerly to the hours of merri 1ent she gave them in school, her understudy will, no doubt, soon win their favor and the health fairy bring them fas- cinating, new fairy-health-tales. Some of the proposed heatlh features to be | carried out this autumn are: i Health trailers, from the State | Health Department, which will be shown every month at the Scenic. One of the best was the “Fly,” shown Wed- nesday night. October 3rd, in the op- i era house, there will be a Public | Health night of free movies given by i the Red Cross and Tuberculosis com- | mittee. At this time will be shown films depicting the activities of the Red Cross and of the Tuberculosis so- ‘ciety. During the week of October 17th to 24th there will be in the schools, lantern slides from the State Health Department on flies and ty- phoid. November 1st to 8th, will be devoted to tuberculosis with lantern- slide views of Cresson, Mont Alto and Hamburg. December 12th to 17th, the schools will have slides on first aid and school hygiene. ee Pe = nan me Big Assembly of Sunday School Workers at Altoona. There is unusual state-wide" inter- est in the coming annual assembly of Sunday school workers to be held in Altoona, October 12th, 13th and 14th. Every county will send its quota. Del- egates are appointed irrespective of their denominational affiliation, for all Protestant Evangelical denominations will participate. : The program contains such names as Margaret Slattery, Boston, Mass.; Wayne B. Wheeler, Washington, D. C.; Lyell M. Rader, Chicago, Ill; Charles Stelzle, New York, and many others of national repute. Centre county should be well repre- sented at this important gathering. All pastors, superintendents, teachers, and adult students desiring to attend should write for credential cards to Darius Waite, corresponding secretary for the Centre county Sunday school association. A credentail card will guarantee admission and a seat at all sessions. Tate—Myers.—Samuel Hess Tate and Miss Mabel Myers, both of State College, journeyed to Boalsburg last Wednesday evening where they were married at the Reformd parsonage by Rev. S. C. Stover. They were attend- ed by A. L. Burwell and Miss Ruth Swabb. Immediately following the ceremony the young couple left by au- tomobile for a wedding trip to the western part of the State and upon their return will locate on Barnard street, Sta.e College. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred My- ers and the bride-groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tate. Their many friends extend congratulations. ——John Cort and his all-American chorus of singers and dancers will pre- sent the wonderfully clever musical comedy, “Listen Lester,” at the Gar- man opera house next Monday even- ing, September 10th. The scene is laid at Palm Beach and the scenic set- tings are rich and correct in detail. Mr. Cort selects his chorus on merit and the girls can sing and dance most bewitchingly. A dozen new and catchy songs, comic situations and laugha- ble climaxes feature the performance. “Listen Lester” will appeal to all the- atre goers, both old and young alike. Don’t forget the date, next Monday evening. Dr. Anderson discussed the educa- | Annual Reunion of Centre County Veteran Club. The 48th annual reunion of the Cen- tre county Veteran club was held at Grange park on Wednesday. The I. 0. O. F. band, of Bellefonte, furnished music for the gathering. Owing to the death of the president, the late John Hamilton, vice president Hen- ry Meyer presided. Rev. J. Max Kirk- patrick invoked the divine blessing and Rev. Roy Corman delivered the address of welcome. The chair then appointed the following committees: On Officers—T. A. Snyder, John Noll, W. H. Bartholomew. Place of Meeting—J. W. Sunday, W. E. Tate, C.

On re-assembling in the afternoon the committee on the election of officers reported as follows: President, S. B. Miller; first vice pres- ident, Henry Meyer; second vice pres- ident, D. B. Brisbin; secretary, W. H. Fry, all of whom were elected. The committee on place of meeting i reported in favor of Grange park, on : ‘ Wednesday of the annual picnic week.

Reports from Grange park, Centre Hall, indicate that the forty-eighth annual encampment and fair of the Grangers of Centre county is on a par with former years. All the tents in the ground are filled with campers, and some applications had to be turn- ed down. The stock exhibit is fair while the display of various lines of farm machinery is as large, if not larger, than in former years. One of the biggest surprises on the grounds is the fruit exhibit. Reports ‘have been current all summer that there is scarcely any fruit in Centre county, but the exhibit at Grange park is one of the finest ever seen there. This is especially true of ap- ples, evidence that the crop is not an entire failure. Owing to an unusual demand for space in the columns of the “Watchman” this week we are compelled to forego any extended re- port of the big gathering. But this does not mean that it is losing inter- est with the public. The attendance has been up to former years, the crowd yesterday being unusually large. The program for the week was identical with that published in this paper last week. The picnic will close today with a public sale of stock, im- plements and various things. Any one interested in this sale should attend. Logans Clear Eight Hundred Dollars. The very threatening weather on Monday doubtless kept many people away from the old-time picnic of the Logan fire company held at Hecla park, but notwithstanding the weather a fair crowd was in attendance, espe- cially in the afternoon. With base- ball, various other sports, dancing, etc., the crowd was well entertained during the day and far into the night. The total receipts of the picnic amounted to about $1,500, and after paying all expenses the firemen were $800 to the good. The committee in charge desires the “Watchman” to ex- tend thanks to the people of Bellefonte for so cheerfully and liberally contrib- uting supplies for the picnic. ——A just and impartial enforce- ment of the laws can be secured by your voting for J. Kennedy Johnston, for the office of burgess, at the com- ing primaries. 66-34-3t ——We’re selling more shoes than we ever did before. Why?

Altoona Young Man Drowned at Ingleby. Byron F. Krumrine, a young news- paper reporter whose home was in Al- toona, was drowned on Sunday after- noon while swimming in Penn’s creek at Ingleby. The young man went to Paddy mountain on Friday to spend two days with a party of friends in camp there. Sunday afternoon he left the camp for Altoona but reaching In- gleby he decided to take a swim in Penn’s creek before proceeding on his way. He went into the water alone and a short time later campers along the stream heard cries for help. They hurried to the place where Krumrine had been seen going into the creek but he was not in sight. Fearing the worst they began a diligent search and his body was found a half hour later. All efforts to resuscitate him failed. Undertaker S. A. Campbell, of Millheim, took charge of the remains and sent them to Altoona on Monday. Byron Foust Krumrine was a son of E. C. Krumrine and was born in Har- risburg almost twenty-six years ago. When eleven years old the family moved to Altoona and it was in that city he got his preliminary education. While attending school he worked in the mail room of the Altoona Tribune and later became a reporter on the Al- toona Times. In 1916 he entered State College but when the United States entered the world war he enlistd for service and was given a lieutenant’s commission. He was later made an instructor and was detailed at various camps in this country. After the sign- ing of the armistice he returned to Al- toona and became a reporter on the Altoona Tribune. Last January he severed his connection with that paper and went to Harrisburg as a reporter on the Patriot. Last week he resign- ed that position to go to Philadelphia as a reporter on the Evening Ledger and was taking a few days vacation when he met his untimely death. His father and one sister survive.
