Prefent, Brown, Bittenbender, Garrison, Rin ker, Townsend and Little. The President stated the object of the meeting to hear read the communication recently received from the County Supt. and to give the same the required consideration : and directed the letter to be read. The letter is as follows : Jersevtown, Pa., 13 July, 1894. R. R. Little, Esq,. Bloomsburg, l'a., Sir: Your Secretary's report of teachers elected for the com ing term received. I am obliged to object to the employment of Mr. L. P. Sterner. 1st. Because of all and singular the objections given and known by your Board against his recommend ation for State certificate. The Department has assured me that these objections are proper, regular, legal and sufficient. 2nd. Because Mr. Sterner has not a legal and sufficient certificate to license him to teach in the school. I have positive written evidence of these facts, and more to come, and proper objections to his teaching in the schools will be filed at the proper places, at the proper time, and the laws will be enforced. Please notify your Board by spec ial meeting, or legally otherwise, that unnecessary delay and trouble in your schools may be avoided. Resp., Wm. C. Johnston, Co. Supt. Moved by Rinker, seconded by Townsend : That the objection of County Supt. Johnston, dated July 13, 1894, be filed, and inasmuch as the communication indicates that the State certificate, granted to Prof. L. P. Sterner, and publicly presented to him a few weeks ago, by Dr. J. P. Welsh, does not afford sufficient evi dence of Mr. Sterner's competency to teach i and that the official claims to be in posession of facts and informa tion from the State Department, tend ing to impair the validity of the same certificate, it is also directed that a copy of the letter of the County Su perintendent be sent to the State De partment, together with a statement that Mr. L. P. Sterner was appointed as the Principal of our High School for the ensuing school year, upon the credit of the State Certificate held by him, and upon our knowledge of his efficiency as a teacher. That, as at present advised, and not knowing of any power held by the County Superintendent to declare the certificate of Mr. Sterner " not a legal and sufficient " one, and from anything further appearing in the ob jection interposed to the action of this Board in employing Mr. Sterner, we see no just reason why we should re consider our action, and make choice of another teacher. We are reluc tant to adopt a course which would result in probable injury to our schools and in wrong done to a citizen and faithful teacher, who has the respect of both pupils and patrons of our school. That a copy of the County Super intendent's objection, and the action now hail thereon, be reported to the Department of Public Instruction, and the County Superintendent. Upon vote being taken, the Presi dent declares motion carried unani mously. High School Bld'g, July 20, 1894. The following letter from Dep't of Public Instruciion was read : Commonwealth ok Pknnsylva- J nia, Department of Public -Instruction. ) Harrisburo, July 19, 1894. Roh't R. Little, Esq. Dear Sir: Inasmuch as I am a member of the State Board that voted Mr. Sterner a certificate, I wish to say that the vote of the Board was unani mous and that Mr. S. holds a legal certificate. In your communication, Mr. John ston says that the Department has given hhn certain assurances. We have not the slightest objection to having Mr. J. submit to the Board of Directors all that he has from this De partment bearing on this question. Let him submit the evidence. Yours truly, Henry Houck, Deputy Supt. Pub. Ins. At the recent session of the County Institute, Dr. Schaeffer, State Supt., was waited upon by the Board of Directors, and they were assured that the letter of Deputy Supt. Houck was authoritative; and that neither himself, or any other authority in the State, from anything he knew, could take the certificate from him. Robt. R. Little, Sec'y. LEMOCEATIO MEETING AT BENTON. A Democratic meeting was held at Benton on Saturday afternoon, Octo ber 27. The day was a most delightful one and after the arrival of special train north the speakers were escorted to the ground and meeting opened by Wm. Chrisman, County Chairman. Officers were elected as follows : Chairman, Hon. Iram Derr, Vice Presidents, S. A. Goodhue, J. P. Hill, J. K. Grotz, J. J. McHenry, E. J. Flynn, J. C. Wenner, Chas. Gibbons, B. D. Cole, Dan'l McHenry, J. Swartwo'ut, R. C. Tohn ston, A. W. Wilkinson; Secretary, Chas. A. Schaffer. After music by the Benton Band W. H. Rhawn Esq. of Catawissa made a very strong speech and dwelt at some length on the past life of the Hon. C. R. Buckalew. After music by the Derr's drum corps Hon. C. R. Buckalew took the stand and was greeted with great applause. In his usual earnest and quiet manner he defined the evils of the McKinly bill and also handled the Silver question in a masterly manner. To the satis faction of many soldiers who had learned to doubt his feeling toward them, he declared that as an American citizen he was a friend to the soldier. The next speaker was Fred Ikeler Esq. who is an orator and covered the ground in a manner that did him great credit. His theme was " the Hard times and who caus ed them." During, the course of his speech he was interrupted by the ap plause of the enthusiastic crowd. Mr. Steadman was the next speaker who declaimed on the revenue of our country. His address was clear and he was certainly a master of his sub ject. It is estimated that there was about 1000 people in attendance and from the enthusiasm displayed we think there is little doubt of the whole ticket, slate congressional and county, being elected. In the evening of the same day a large and enthusiastic demonstration was held at Jamison City. A large delegation and the Benton Band went np from Benton on special train. The crowd was large and enthusiastic and speakers were : John Harman Fred Ikeler and W. If. Rhawn Esqs. It is not necessary to say that North ern Columbia County is well organ-' ized for the whole ticket.
