FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 18H8.
Tlero is no flection on band just
cow, and thoreforo wo feel at liberty
to disoass a subject whioh wo bellovo
needs a thorough ventilation.
There la no county of the same size
in tho state of Pennsylvania whom can
didates for publio oflico aro compelled
to give as llttlo monoy to tho county
organization as in Columbia. Thero is
no county in tho state whero thoy do
givo as little. Tho result is that very
ofUio tho county ohatrmati at tho end
of a oamnaiun finds himself out of
pocket. Thopo who aro defeated for
nomination will not pay anything, and
those who aro olootod. of course thero
arc exceptions, smilu at tho chairman
when ho asks them for funds to pay
tho bill that he has oontraotod in their
bohalf. Tbo chairman aires his timo
and labor for two or throo months, ho
biros halls, bands, horses and wagons to
carry speakers about the county,' raakcu
speccbes lumselt wucn overyooay else
refuses, and has all tho worry and ro
vponsibility without any compensation.
except tho honor,and then at tho end
of tho fight bin tho bills aro to bo
paid and he uks for funds from the
successful candidate?, be is told that
they havo no money, or that ho has
been too oxtravagant,or ho is asked what
he has dono with all ho has already
bad, witli an inuendo that perhaps no
has not accounted for all of it. Such
are the pleasures of tho Chairmanship
of tho domooratio party In Columbia
county. Wo have heard from tho lips
of one who was often put at tbo head
of the party in this county now de
ceased, tho honor of being chairman had
cost him as high as two hundred doll
ars in ono campaign; wo have heard
from another that ho had lost as much
as three hundred dollars in tho same
pwition. And this not because money
was expended profusely or unlawfully,
but because tin successful candidate
"tfused to pay their assessments and
.ad the gall to let tho chairman stick.
There is no uso of mincing matter.
Tho party organization is kept up for
the benefit of those who seek public
oflioe and they are tho ones who should
pay the expenses of tho campaign.
Tho chairman should refuo to contraot
any bills until ho has sufficient money
in hand to see him through, and if tho
candidates nominated by the county
convention do not pay theso assess
ments in advanco the standing commt
teo should havo power to deolare the
places vacant and to name other candi
dates. That is the way it is done in some
adjoining counties and if such a rule
were adopted here it would no doubt
have a good effect
Another matter that requires men
tion is the indifference shown by
candidates after they have securod the
nomination. In this county this is
equivalent to an election, and so all the
effort is expended in getting nominated.
Thousand! of dollars may be spent be
fore a delegate election, and every
woman shaken hands with and every
man treated to a drink or a cigar and
every baby kissed, but no one overheard
of candidates exerting themselves to get
out the vote at the general election.
They grow apathetic and willingly per
mit others to do all tho work, and the
analhv continues throuchout their term
Wo know of one man holding an office
a fow years ago worth S2500 a year,
who contributed tho enormous Burn of
sixteen cents in a presidential year.
Wo know of another in the samo year,
whoso salary was aboutSIOOO, who suu
scribed one dollar and afterwards in
creased it to three dollars under strong
importunity. Civil servioo reform may
sav that public ofneors shall not con
tribute towards election expenses, but
common sense teaches that if thofe
who reap tho reward of publio offices
do not help to pay the expenses of
political campaigns no body else will
Those who refuse to pay are tho ex
ceptione, but the exceptions have been
too numerous in past pears.
Asleep at His Post.
A wreck occured on the Reading
Railroad, nt West Milton, just across
the Susquehanna from Milton, Thnrs
day morning of last week, about 3
o'clock. The first and second sections
of freights that left Williampoit
about 1 o clock, collided near West
Milton, and the engineer of the second
section, Wallace Nattross of hhamo
kin, was killed.
Just as the Becond section was ap-
nroaohing Hew Columbia the nremnu
went to the engineer and told him to
"waken up," finding him very drowsy.
Ho approiched him a second timo and
told him they were nearmg west jsiil'
ton and that tho water station was a
short d'stanco below, iie then seem
ed to realize his position in a measure,
but awoke in a dazed ttate and blew
thn whistle to stop. At this time he
was running at tho late of tlxteen
miles an hour, when the approach to a
station is, according to railroad rules,
not moro than four miles an hour.
The flagman of the first section, ex
pecting the second tcction to make lis
acpearanco hurried back to do his
work, but as tho headlight on tho loco-
motive was not Hunted he could only
tell by tho noiso and rumbling of tho
train when and where it was. It is
said that his lights wero poorly sup-
Elied. On came the second section,
owever, and the fireman finding his
chances for lifu under the condition im
possible, leaped to tho ground, saving
himself. The engineer, however,
stock to his post, and when found he
wss dead and had his hand on the lev
er, although most buried in the debris
of the wreck. When dug out his low
er law was found to bo broken, and t
wound of some four Inches in length
on tho back of hi- head, and his body
entirely scalded.
It is said by railroad employees that
in tho forty-tight hours while on duly
ho had but two hours ot sleep.
Tho result of tho wreck to tho Read
ing Railroad Company was the total
destruction of tho second engine and
the piling np and brt nkiug ot foiuo
sixteen additional coal and lumber
cars, on account of whioh tho freight
was delayed for ten hours.
The coroner's jury gave tho
following verdict! '"Hint tho engineer
failed lo do his duty on account of
icant of sleen. and that the flacrman
should have taken moro precautions."

TEAOHEfiS' INSTITUTE.
Tho annual session of the Columbia
County Teacher's Institute mot in
the- Opera Houbo Monday Deo, 17,
1888, at 1 ;S0 p. m., and was opened
with musio and devotional exercises
by Dr. Leverett. Tho addrcBS of wel
come was delivered by Rev. Manhart
and was very interesting.
Prof. Neff, of Philadelphia, was
then Introduced, and said that having
been introduced to the teachers of this
county so often It might be thought
that ho would come before them with
out any embarrassment. But it is
said to be a very serious matter after
all, for teachers naturally expect im
provement on tho part of the instruc
tor through time and experience. He
said be ihsired to talk on what might
be termed tho right and the wrong in
this matter of reading. Teaching
reading is really teaching language.
To givo a ohild power to read is really
giving him power to intorprot the
thought. There is a right nnd a
wrong way of teaohing this snbject.
There are some counties in this state
where every teacher is doing, lbeolute
ly the wrong thing. This is a very
serious thing. The right thing and
the wrong may b Btated in this way.
Yon may set about in a reading class
to show pupils how to get out the
thought, or how to get into themselves
the thought of the lecson. You may
teaoh expression, or you may teaoh im
pression. Probably nineteen-twent-leths
of the teaohera in the United
States are teaching expression instead
of impression. It is absolutely wroni;
to try to teaoh expression in a readiug
lesson. There aro ihreo reasons why
this is so, Tho first reason is that the
power of potting thongnt from books is
natural with us. Seoond reason is,
tho relation of thonght getting in
other branches of study. Tho power
of getting thought from books enables
the child to study Geography, History
and all other studies. In the reading
class wo show pupils how to study
everything else. The third reason is
the relation of thought getting to ex
pression. Tho best way to teaoh one
to read a pieco U to give Buch instruc
tion as will enable ono to understand
all that is contained in the piece. If
we teaoh first how to expreu what is
contained in it, we are doing wrong.
Thought getting has nothing to do
with oxpreBsion in tho true seuso of
the term. If a person has a fairly
good voice and is full of a subject and
is pnt on a platform beforo an audi
ence he will be a successful speaker
though he may know nothing of the
laws ot expression.
Wo oannot put any power in a pupil
wo can simply develop what is in thorn.
Do teachers toaoh reading In other
places in the manner that I am talking
about? In Philadelphia a courso of
lectures is being delivered this winter
on thought getting. It is not a now
thing. We do not all io-biih the same
power of thought getting, flow many
different degrees of this power are r p
resented in tho audienco beforo me; if
I could show you the oondition of your
minds there would bo many moro thnn
ypil think. Very fow peoplo havu
rower of interpreting thought correot-
Prof. Cope of tho Normal School
next talked on "Arithmetic." Ho said
that ho did not enter upon tbo discuss
ion of this subject with the viow of re
newing tho controversy carried on a
few years ago in tho newspapers. Ho
had no part in that controversy. Wo
have, he said, students corning into
COLUMBIAN AND
oar Institution who have boon over tho I
Buuji'uv ui nnuimtniu ngaiu anu again
and who arc able to work for tho answer,
but when askod for reasons wo very
often find them saying "wo havo never
been taught to give reasons." I am in
favor of what Is sometime called the
statement method, and sometimes the
common sum method. In 'oomparing
it with some other methods, I am forced
to tho oonoluslon that it is tho simplest
and least mechanical, Tho statement
asks a child to put down tho known
conditions of a problom and then to
reason toward tho result. Tho Prof,
illustrated by numerous problems tho
advantage of tho method, and its
adaptations to the developments of its
reasoning faculty and how practical it
is in its relations to problems connected
with tho dutie of lifo. Ho showed
how it oan be used when over tho rota
tions of quantities a.'o considered, and
by numerous illustrations and strong
arguments gavo reasons for tho faith
that is in him.
TUKSUAT MOItNINU.
Devotional exercises, after which
Prof. Nefl occupied tho floor and con
tinued his interesting and instructive
talk of the day before, saying :
''Tbo child has been feeding his mind
before h comes to school by observa
tion. After that tho teacher foods it
from hooks. Thero aro a few point
connected with getting thoughts from
languago which you should understand.
You aro to show the ohild how to feed
the mind in tho new way. You oan't
go at it blindly, you must understand
Physiology. If you look at an object
you get a mental picturo of it. Whero
does the picture come from, your mind
photographs it. Roughly wo say it
comes from tho object. Supposo in
stead of looking at the object, wc write
a description of it on the board. Whero
docs the picture como from when we
describe it. It comes from things you
1 . f . T. I.T.- - . !
nave seen uuiure. it id u uouiuiuauun
of different things you have seen before.
When you get mental pictures 'rora
observations, that picturo socms to go
into your mind from but when
you get a mental picture from books
it is bunt up of what was in tbo mind
before. Language does not put any
thing into the mind, it simply builds up
ideas into new forms that were there
before. Language Is a proscription for
a thought. The ingredients aro in tho
mind, pupils who stand up and simply
read the words have not tho thought.
We should nover allow a pupil to read
aloud until he has satisfied yon that he
has the thought. When your pupils
come to recite a history lesson and they
stand np and recite words of the book
they are not giving tho thought, for if
tboy had the thought they would use
their own language. Langnago and
thought aro two different thing-". The
great evil ot tho age is putting
language into tho mind instead of
thought. Tho languago of the books
does not tell moro than one-third of
what you must know to get the thought
the pupil then who gets the language
oi the books never gets the thought,
The thought from the book should be
as dear as the thought we get from
observation.
