County Teachers’ Institute Held In-
teresting Sessions This Week.
Over three hundred teachers were
in attendance at the seventy-seventh
annual teachers’ institute held in
Bellefonte this week. The first ses-
sion was held on Monday afternoon
when Rev. Frank B. Hackett, of Belle-
fonte, led the devotional exercises.
This was followed by a feast of songs
under the leadership of Mrs. M. R.
Krader. Greetings to the teachers
were extended by assistant county su-
perintendent H. C. Rothrock, who urg-
ed prompt and regular attendance up-
on the part of the teachers. He then
introduced as the first speaker Dr. L.
H. Beelar, of Chicago, whose subject
for discussion was “What’s the Mat-
ter with Education?”
Dr. Beeler submitted four proposi-
tions, as follows: America is the
most criminal nation on earth; our
country too free to the refuse of oth-
er countries; teach in present gener-
ation what you want in next genera-
tion; more teen age boys and girls in
schools of correction than ever before.
Dr. Beeler made the statement that
notwithstanding all the above more
money is now being spent on educa-
tion than ever before. Public schools
are more perfect than ever before.
Dr. J. F. Marsh, of the State Board
of Public Instruction, discussed teach-
ing as salesmanship. He advised the
teachers to study the physical and
nervous make-up of their pupils, their
ancestry, etc. Every individual has
twelve things to consider: Fear, an-
ger, curiosity, manipulation, play, in-
itiation, construction, ownership, ri- |
valry, fighting spirit, get something
to eat, and gang-spirit.
TUESDAY'S SESSION.
On Tuesday the institute split up
into three parts, the rural section be-
ing held in the court house, where Dr.
Beeler discussed the psychology of
the school subjects; Dr. Lee Driver
made a general address and Dr.
Marsh talked on the laboratory of a
rural school.
The grade section was held in the
High school auditorium where Miss
Zoe Thrall, of the Indiana State Nor-
mal, talked on geography in the
grades. She enumerated as the phys-
ical needs food, shelter, clothing,
tools, heat and light. To secure these
needs we must follow such occupa-
tions as farming, herding, hunting,
fishing, lumbering, mining, manufac-
turing and commerce, while among
the higher needs for music, art, liter-
ature, religion, government, and sci-
ence. She then related what deter-
mines these needs and stated that ge-
ography is the influence of the phys-
ical environment upon life. Discus-
sion of the same subject was contin-
ued by Dr. Marsh, while Dr. Beeler
continued his talk on the psychology
of the school subjects.
' The High school section was held in
room 13, at the High school building,
with Mr. Pletcher presiding.
Tuesday afternoon’s session was
again consolidated in the court house
where Dr.’ Driver lectured on “Jim,
That’s Good.” He showed how a
teacher may get into the life of a pu-
pil and make him what he should
grow to be. Dr. Marsh continued his
talk on teaching as salesmanship. He
stated that in the average school the
percentage of pupils who start in the
fifth grade and graduate from the
High school is comparatively small,
while the percentage of those who go
through college is still further re-
duced.
In his discussion of the subject,
“Ov~ Prowl Problem a National
Problem,” Dr. Beeler asserted that
the farm is the most important single
productive unit on earth, and the far-
mer the most important producer. He
also stated that the farmer is the only
person who does not set the price on
his products. The spirit of the Amer-
ican farmer must be Yevived. He
must be taxed fairly and judiciously,
and all other phases of American life
must be taxea similarly.
'WEDNESDAY’S SESSIONS.
Wednesday morning’s’ sessions of
institute was divided into three sec-
tions, Miss Thalls, Dr. Beeler and Dr.
Marsh being the speakers at the court
house.
A new instructor in the person of
Dr. J. A. Foberg, of Harrisburg, made
his first talk to the grade section in
the High school building. His sub-
ject was teaching mathematics in ele-
mentary schools. Dr. Marsh talked
on English composition and Dr. J.
Freeman Guy discussed the newer
view-point in teaching reading. He
advocated starting children to read at
the age of six years, but to be careful
not to harm the health of the child.
The afternoon session was held in
the court house and one of the inter-
esting talks was given by Miss Thalls
on “China, the Nation of the 20th
Century.” She stated that China is
one of the civilizations that has ex-
isted for thousands of years and pre-
dicted a great future for that coun-
try. Among its ancient and interest-
ing objects of man’s handiwork are
the grand canal, the great wall, sus-
pension bridges and the mariner’s
compass. Its people discovered the
art of making gunpowder, paper,
porcelain, the printing press, silk,
while the Peking Gazette is the old-
est daily newspaper. China is rich in
coal, iron, tungsten, lead, zinc and
copper, but lacks transportation.
In talking on the problems of de-
mocracy Dr. Beeler said that there
must come a new condition of affairs,
a new fellowship, before world wars
will cease. There must come a new
philosophy of work, a new interest in
education. A christian religion must
come to the world before we are safe
in the spirit of democracy.
Institute sessions yesterday were a
continuation of discussion of the var-
ious questions brought to the atten-
tion of the teachers on previous days,
the afternoon diversity being special
talks by members of the boys’ potato
clubs of the county; who had a splen-
did exhibition of their work at the
Y. M. C. A. In the evening the Bus-
iness Men’s association entertained
the boys and their sponsors at a po-
tato supper at the Y. M. C. A.
The final session of institute
will be
held this morning. 2

Tuesday afternoon, following an op-
eration the day previous for an ob-
struction of the bowels. He was in
his store as usual on Friday, was tak-
en sick on Saturday and by Monday

ville on March 6th, 1856, hence was 67
years, 7 months and 17 days old. Dur-

taking establishment at Spring Mills,
in which they were quite successful.
Mr. Smith was a member of the
Lutheran church, the P. O. S. of A.
and Ladies Temple of the Golden Ea-
gle. In politics he was a staunch
Democrat and had always been one of
the best and most dependable party
workers in Pennsvalley.

Hannah Poorman, .of Tusseyville,
who died many years ago, but surviv-
ing him is one daughter, Mrs. Win-
dom Gramley, at home; one grand-
son, John Gramley, two brothers and

Six Men Arrested for Bootlegging
Held for Court.
John Haldeman, Fred Meyers and
Jeff Tearney, of Bellefonte; “Idaho
Bill” Musser, of Miles township; Paul
Gasper and Emro Pachicko, of Snow
Shoe township, the six men arrested
by state police about two weeks ago
on the charge of bootlegging, have all
been held in one thousand dollars
bail for trial at the December term of
court, though any or all of them have
the option of going before the court
at any time, entering pleas of guilty
and accepting any sentence the court
may see fit to give.
© In fact it was generally supposed
that the bootlegging cases would come
up at the special session of court held
last Friday and the court house was
crowded all day, but the cases were
not called. Friday afternoon, how-
ever, all the men arrested were noti-
fied to appear for a hearing before
’Squire Woodring that evening. Mr.
Musser was the first man to respond,
and he waived a hearing and gave
bail for his appearance at the Decem-
ber term of court, stating, however,
that he would probably appear earlier,
enter a plea of guilty and submit to
the sentence of the court.
Haldeman, Meyers and Tearney all
demanded hearings and the full squad
of state police was on hand and one of
them, William P. Henshel, told of.
having come to Bellefonte in August
and spending most of his time since
in the county, gathering evidence
against bootleggers. He testified to
having bought liquor from Haldeman,
Tearney and Meyers, and had the
liquor with him in a suit case, all
properly labeled, as evidence. At the
conclusion of the hearing the three
men were held for court, William
Kline going on Haldeman’s bond and
A. C. Gingery on the bonds of Meyers
and Tearney.
The two men from Snow Shoe
township could not be reached in time
to have them at the hearing but the
state police told of their arrest and
exhibited the moonshine confiscated,
and S. D. Gettig, attorney for the men,
offered to secure bonds for them.
The six members of the state police :
who figured in the arrests were Capt.
Paul B. Stout, William P. Henshel,
the operator who spent two months in
Bellefonte gathering evidence; Chas.
E. Miller, Edwin Stroman, William
M. Lewis and Charles Freudenberger.
At the time the arrests were made
it was the general opinion that they
were the result of a sudden invasion
of the county by Pinchot’s squad, but
such is not the case. The properly
constituted authorities of Centre
county were back of the raids. It
was through information furnished
from Bellefonte that operator Hen-
shel was sent here to get the evidence
and the raid was made with the full
knowledge of the law officers of Cen-
tre county. And it is just possible
that the end is not yet.

John S. Spearly.
Possibly to John S. Spearly, above
all candidates on the ticket of either
party, should be given credit for hav-
ing made a success in life over obsta-
cles that would have discouraged most
of us. He is a son of Charles and
Anna Spearly and was born at Snow
Shoe, December 25th, 1871. His
mother having died when he was a
mere boy he was sent out to work
on farms for his board and schooling.
For fifteen years he worked on farms
in Buffalo Run valley farming for the
Brennans, Breons and Reuben Crust.
When large enough to stand the
gaff of such work he went to Tay-
lor ore mines and put in three
years at the munificent wage of 80
cents a day. After that he went into
the quarries of the American Lime
and Stone company, where the wage
was then ten cents an hour, and work-
ed there eighteen months; leaving to
enter the employ of C. Y. Wagner, at
the Roopsburg mill. After four years
in the milling work he rented one of
the Reynolds farms and after ten
years bought it, He has been living
on the farm ever since.
He has been school director, regis-
tration assessor, assessor and tax col-
lector of Benner township; having
held the latter office for the past fif-
teen years and every time since his
first election he was returned to of-
fice without opposition. That is a
wonderful record in itself, but when
it is known that all of his duplicates
but two are settled in full, with only
small balances due on them, and that
he has never had a tax sale there
must be general admission of his at-
tention to business and tactfulness in
doing it.
As we intimated in the beginning
Mr. Spearly is a graduate of the
school of hard knocks. He knows how
hard he has worked to get what he
has and because of that can be relied
upon to be most prudent in handling
the money of the tax payers if elected
Commissioner.
He is a member of the Evangelical
church and has five children.

High Scores Being Made on the Y.
Alleys.
From all indications bowling is
going to be a fast sport this winter.
The Y. alleys have been in use four
times as much this season so far than
last. October shows a 300 per cent.
increase. Scores are higher and the
record of last season of 227 by Shu-
gert has been outdone several times.
Paul Reber made 234 last Saturday,
beating Doc. Shusters’ 233 record of
the previous week. Charles Roth has
been in charge of the alleys for over
a month and the players appreciate
the excellent condition he keeps them
in and attribute part of their success
to their fine shape. Coco pit mats
have been supplied for two of the pits
and a new set of pins will be on hand
for the opening of the League.
The representatives of the teams in
the league will meet this (Friday)
evening to outline the schedule of the
sixty league games to be played this
season, starting Friday, November
2nd. Twelve teams will enter, six in
each division. The American Legion

will have to go some to hold it this
year.

James W. Swabb.
The senior of the two splendid men
who are aspiring to be Commission-
ers of Centre county is James W.
Swabb who was born in Harris town-
ship September 20th, 1863.
Though he has never been in pub-
lic life it might be said that he is one
of the best known men in Pennsvalley,
where intimate association has given
opportunity of measuring his sterling
integrity and general usefulness as a
citizen.
Mr. Swabb has farmed all his life.
The only public offices he has filled
have been as auditor of his township
for twelve years, three terms as Jus-
tice of the Peace and clerk to John A.
Rupp when he was Register of the
county.
He is a most affable man, up to the
minute in general information and
ideas of doing things. Being a far-
mer he is naturally very practical and
his business experience in other lines
than that of agriculture fit him most
admirably for the office he seeks.
Centre county would go far before
finding a man better qualified to give
the 'Commissioner’s office more intel-
ligent and practical attention. He is
of the type that is not swerved from
duty, knows the county and its needs
and can be trusted to get a dollar’s
worth of return for every dollar of
public money expended.
