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.

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

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)

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

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,

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.

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.

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- |

The Grange Encampment.
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.

ment of the laws can be secured by

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.

——Vote for J. M. Keichline for tax
collector. He will collect the dupli-
cates each year, and that will reduce
the high taxes. High taxes mean high
rents. As the taxes go up so goes up
the rents; as the taxes come down, so
come down rents. 85-1t
