prico of tho Weekly World Is $1.00. On
receipt of 2.20 wo will send the two pa.
perB to any address In tho county, for one
year. Clubs of flvo persons at onu post of
fice can get them for $10,00 If ordered ut
ono time. This Is a very liberal oiler, and
Is made for tho purpose of extending our
circulation and not because there Is any
money In It.
Wo do not bcllovo In tho chromo busi
ness. All the county newspapers aro pub
llshed at rates so low that tho margin of
profit Is very small, and unless all subscri
bers pay up, tho loss Is nearly equal to tho
profits. Wo consider that our readers get
the full worth of their money out of this
paper at $1.00 a year, and we cannot af
ford to give every subscriber i gold watch
or a piano, at that price. But wo will do
this i Evory subscriber who will pay up
all arrearages and ono year in advanco will
rcccivo for ono year, Oood Cheer, n monthly
paper dovotcd to tho Interests of homo and
family, and containing much valunble

ConiuiiSHloucrH Appointment.
The now board of county commissioners,
Messrs. Pohe, Parr and Mendenhnll, took
possession of their office on Monday morn
ing Inst. There was a large attendance of
applicants for tho clerkship, and their
friends, and the commissioners were sub
jected to a large amount of pressure on
every side, to Induce them to appoint this
one or that ono. There wero twenty-three
applicants for the place, but a number of
them made 110 effort to securo tho Appoint
ment beyond sending in their names. The
real contest was between J. D. Bodlne, A.
F. Tcrwilliger, J. B. Casey, W. Krlckbaum,
G. A. Herring, M. F. Eycrly, W. B. Allen,
and F. B. Hartmau. At tho first session
on Monday no result wns reached, but on
Tuesday the suspenss was ended by the
selection of J. B. Casey for clerk, E. It.
Ikelcr was appointed solicitor, and W. W.
Banett, Janitor. For tho latter place there
wero four applicants. It was a difficult thing
for the commissioners to make n selection
from so mauy, most of whom wero well
qualified for the clerkship. Mr. Casey has
filled the position for six years, and thor
oughly understands the work of tho office.
His retention was probably the best thing
the commissioners could do, under the clr
cumstanccs.

prepares us for complet. It is a
complete, harmonious, sy luc aud
symetrical development of a human being,
The means by which the human being Is
so developed, or tho school, the press and
nil kinds of human enterprise. He recom
mended a good bit of hors sens to teachers.
Prof. Noetllng thought that teachers
spent too much time in teaching oue
branch. He attributed tho failures of
many pupils to the teacher's inability to
reach their minds nnd awaken nnd build
up mind power In the child. The succes
of a teacher should not Jbo mesuicd by the
amount of text book knowledg he crams
into a child's mind, but by the amount of
mind power ho developcs, The dul pupil
he would cal Blow and attributes this slow
ness to the teacher's Inability to reacli his
mind. The tenchor must represent the
same tiling in many different ways to dif-
fercnt pupils. The succesful teacher is he
who can teach slow pupils. Tho slow
pupil becoms more prominent in public
than the bright one. "lteview every day
and let part of every recitation Ue a re
view," Is one of the Prof's, maxims before
his classes. He also spoke of punishment,
nnd thought that the word "punishment"
sounded too harsh. In its stead ho sug
gested "correctly help." Do not punish
through revenge. Let the child under
stand that the punishment or correctly
help Is for tho child's good. Be persistent
Iu breaking up bad habits.
Dr. Groff spoke of tlio value of tho llvo
several kinds of food, The air ho called a
food and the one about which wu wer
least particular. Tho difference between
air and other food is that thu former goes
directly to the blood, while the latter goes
first to tho stomach. Bad air has billed
ruoro pcoplo than nny other cause. Wc
cannot llv on one kind of food alone. Ho
discussed the use, and particularly tho
abuse, of condiments aud stlmulcnts. Thu
teacher to Interest his pupils iu physiology
must know thu entire subject first. Ho
must know more than there Is in u school
book. He said that In somo packing
houses the sick hogs and those that hav
died In the pens of disease, wer treated ns
the healthy ones, Milk is tho only perfect
food. Germs of diseases ur carried in
milk. In families whero a contagious
disenso exists, the disease can bo carried
from there In milk. He careful where you
buy your milk,
Prof. Sanford resumed his tallcoufonlcs.
They enable tho child to discover new
words for himself and glv him the power
of tho letters ot tho ulfabct. He udvUes
the use of tho diacritical marks. The let.
ters both printed nud script should bo
parted in somo conspicuous placo in tho
school room. He would continuo the
word method til the child had lerned 150
werds. Tho words should bo frequently
reviewed aud combined Into many sen
tences. Let the child get tthe thought for
himself.
Thu first speaker ot tho afternoon was
Prof. Wilbur, who continued Ids talk on
civil government. He would teach thu
pupil tho Umts, places and manner of
electing nil tho officers of the township and
tho length ot the term of office of each.
He would also teach the sumo thing of the
county and thu Stute. This should bu
taught in all schools of the proper grade,
Prof, Sanford then epoko on primary
reading ami writing. He thinks the best
way to tench wrltlug Is by having tho pu.
plls traco the letters nt first. Tho Prof,
was thcu called oft for rcrcs, after which
Dr. Everett, private Becrstary to thu Gov.
cruor, was Introduced. Ho epoko ot our
public school system and of thu Interest
tho Governor took In thu public school
teacher.
Prof. HarrUon, ot tho Lthigh Unlver
sity,tclted"Into thu Valley ot Death Itodu
thu Six Hundred," and was enthusiastic
ally applauded.
Prof, Sanford continued his rcmnrks on
writing. He thinks that nil can becomo
tpod writers. Tench your pupils to write
their names first ot all, llav a caro to
pen. holding. Copybooks 1 nnd 2 would
be of 110 use In this system, Cut extracts
from papers nnd have pupils write them 011
the hoard. Thus you tench reading ami
writing nt ono time.
Prof. Bnlllct, of Col. Parker's Normal
School was then Introduced. IU spoke of
machine education. Tho body should be
come a machine. Tho hand makes letters
nnd words automatically iu writing. Tho

Thursday's sessions.
Prof. Harrison begnn the morning's ses
sion with it talk on pronunciation. He
showed how many people mispronounced
through carelessness, as : God hlesh you,
Let mo klsh you.
Prof. Balllct was the next speaker. The
following nrc a few of the things ho satd t
Tho teacher Is of greater consequence than
books and apparatus and fine buildings. The
teachers are as a rulo unfit to teach. It is n
wonder that thcro aro nny pupils that like
school. Tho deslro for knowledge Is born
with thu child j but Is crushed out of him
by poor teachers. Teachers go on the plan
that the child wns created for the text book
and not tho text book for the child.
Teachers give the child too mud. to lcrn
and cajole them Into lcrnlng It by offering
them tho choice of two evils 100 per cent
or a less per cent. When this Inducement
falls tho evils nr Increased. The child Is
kept in. This fails, and Hogging Is the
last resort. But the lessons become so re
pulsive to tho child that he would suffer
anything rather than learn them. The
teacher Is n sort of caterer. Knowledg Is
food for tho mind. Tho mind craves
knowledg as eagerly ns the stomach docs
bred and meat. If the child had Its food
mcsurcd out day after day;as it lias its les
sons nnd wer required to ent It all with the
(nine regularity as Its lessons, food would
become repulsive to the stomach and no
amount of pcrsuaslst, such as keeping In
and flogging could Induce the child to eat
its food. Teachers ar bad cooks they cook
too much nnd compel those for whom they
cook to eat It nil nnd hecanso they cook
food not suited to the condition of thosu
for whom they cook. He thought It wrong
to compel a pupil who was lit for promo
Hon to wait til the regular time for promo
tion. He should be promoted as soon us
ho is qualified. The object of thought in
gi'ografy wns too frequently the map. The
map was lines and dots and colors nnd no
more to the. child. The dots wer not cities
and towns with streets and houses. The
rivers wer crooked lines.
Prof. Sanfoid spoke on geografy for ad
vanced pupils. He thought that teachers
taught too much geography. He thought
It of little importance to know many places
outsidu of one's own state, nnd the farther
the placo is from one's home the les geo
grafy need bo known of It. In his schools
the dcscrlptiv parts are used as supplemen
tary reading.
Dr. Waller spoke on school discipline.
The teacher must cultivate in ids pupils a
habit of prompt obedience. To do this
you must give frequent rccreatlv exercises
to keep tho pupils busy. Reverence for par
ents aud Buperiors'inust be developed. Pu
pils should be taught mercy ; but the
teacher must hav all the traits of .chnrnc.
ter that he would develope on the pu-pll.
l'rof. Heck was tho first speaker of the
afternoon session. His subject was Local
Geography nnd History. He snld that few
young pupils were interested in the study
of geography and history; because in geo
grafy the object of thought was the map
nnd not the real mountains nnd rivers and
towns nnd oceans ; in history the event is
too remote. The Imagination is the most
important faculty by means of which we
learn.

tention to tlio cellular construction of
eviry part of the body. Ho next dissected

section with interesting explanations, He
frequently touched upon the subject of by.
glene.
TL'EoU&Y EVENING,
.Miss Gulo recited "Robert of Lincoln"
and "Green .Mountain Justice."
Dr. T. Everett then delivered a lecture
on "Tho Men who Win," There is a place
n the world for every person. The men
who succeed do their best In little things
as well as In greater ; they aro not vision
nry ; they ns a rulo come up from the low
er classes of society, honesty urging them
to intense exertion. All things coino to
him that is willing to wait ; honest plod
ding perscveiing work must succeed. Hon-
csty succeeds much better than dishonesty.
Sympathy nnd grit am elements of success.
Some men wait for.good luck, forgetting
that opposition nnd difficulties make men.
The men, who havlug found out their call
ing concentrate nil this power upon it, sue
ceed.
In business, don't loose your individual
ity ; don't worry ; advertise, but honestly .
avoid rash speculations ; keep out of debt;
be cheerful nnd make friends.
If you have delicate sensualities avoid
politics. Political scandal and slanders,
however, havo no effect upon a mind that
has the proper Independence.
Tho tpeaker next Bald a few words to
tho ladles, expressing li Is desire to see
every lady hava u chance to demonstrate
her ability. Hu held that to follow any
continuous lino ot work for any consider
able time, bIio must not marry ; women's
position In society Is changing ; they have
tho ability to bo self supporting and tlio
tlmu is coming when they will havo thu op.
poitunity.

that tho proper ciilronmeuts must bo placed
around mind that it may educate Itself)
nny thing that gels tho mind into habits ot
thinking that It would not other wiso have
gotten into educates. Therefore natural
features ot a country, callings or profes
slons, stututo laws, social contact, public
sentiment, responsibility, bereavement,
difficulties, In short most circumstances
educate. As tho mind developcs Its voca.
bulary means more to It. This lecture
gavo evidence ot considerable originality of
thought and tho thoughts wrc clearly aud
forcibly stated. Ona thing that was espec.
tally worthy of notice was thut when thu

Joint Hnyder'H Annual Report.
EnnoiM CoLUMniAN:
Friemh and Mlow CidVns : As the year
of 1884 has closed upon 111 witli all Its
cares, turmoils and strifes, nnd through
tho tender moreles of God I have again
been spaicd to transmit to your many
readers my annual report ot the Borough
of Bloomsburg. I did not expect, when I
gave you tue report of 1883, even to ad
dress you again on this subject, as I am
now living on borrowed time I have en
entered my 82nd year, und standing on the
verge of Jordan waiting tho Master's call.
This has been nn eventful year, tho Prcsl
dcntlal contest lias been an exciting one
and a close ono. It now remains for the
minority to submit to the majority ; let tbe
true followers of the meek and lowly Jesus
take tho President-elect with thorn to the
throne of Heavenly grace, that ho may bo
guided by the Divine Spirit in all his of
ficial acts the greatest good to tho greatest
number. The effectual fervent prayer of
the righteous availeth much. The great
question of our country may bo summed
up in two words, "Capital" and "Labor."
Each ono should havo their respective
rights belonging to them. I would say
that in a life of 81 years I have never seen
tho Industries or our country and foreign
ones so pnralyzed as at the present time
now, there is n cause for all this being
entailed upon the toiling thousands In our
Industries throughout our land, and that
cause is combined capital. Party spirit
serves always to distract the public coun
cils and enfeeble tho public administration
it agitates tho community with ill-founded
jealousies and false alarms kindles the an
imosity of ono part against another, for
mcnts occasional riots, insurrections, and
opens tho door to foreign infiuenco and
corruption which finds a fasllated access
to the government Itself through the chan
nels of parly passlous ; thus the policy aud
will of the country are subjugated to the
policy and will of another. Tho good
Lord 11113 bestowed upon us ns a nation an
abundant crop, said to bo the largest yield
we ever nau, and it benooveth us as a na
tlon to give Him our united thanks for
His mercies and blessings conferred upon
us as n people and a nation. It has been a
year of disasters with great loss of life, but
not so large as that of 1883. The flro rec
ord of 1884 surpasses anything on record
except tho Chicago fire. It Is computed
tliu actual loss by tire In 1884 amounts to
over sovcnty.four millions of dollars,
l'hero 1ms been somu slight shocks of
earthquake ut several points, without nny
serious damage. As a nation we nro at
pcaco with all foreign countries. May tho
blessings of God rest upon us as a nation,
and direct our rulers In authority, in what
ever they do. Do It with an eye single to
the glory of God, nnd the welfare of the
nation ut lnrge. Our town Is Improving,
notwithstanding tho depression ot bus!
nc6s. Three substantial brick buildings
and four frame houses have been erected ;
tho main sewer of tho town from the Nor
