TI1UK.SIAY, MARCH 2, U)S
A. Prodiey of lB;ioranco,
Whenever any criticism i9 made
of the management of our public
schools, or any suggestion of in
efficiency 011 the part of their in
structors, the latter are always
prompt in resenting it.
It ia a well known fact that less
attention is given to the matter of
our public schools by the people
generally than to any other enter
prise which is maintained at the
public expense. It is equally well
known, especially to those who are
fitted by education to form intelli
gent judgment on the subject, that
much of what is too frequently
called instruction in many of our
public schools is nothing more nor
less than what is generally known
as an ''education fad."
Criticism of modern methods of
instruction is too often justified by
facts. Agitation agains' these
"methods" is going on with great
fury in New York City at the pres
ent time. One father declares that
his boy is now ready to be gradu
ated, yet he does not know the name
of a single general who participated
in the Civil war, the time or place of
a single battle in either the Civil or
Revolutionary war, the capitals of
five states in the union, the name
of a single member of the presi
dent's cabinet, the route of a single
trunk line whose terminus is in
New York, Hobokeii or Jersey
City, the names of the five boroughs
which constitute the city of Greater
New York, the location of the capi
tal of the state or the uame of the
present governor or how to reach
Hoboken by ferry. Yet this pro
digy of ignorance lives in Harlem,
stands well in his class and passes
for a bright boy among his fellows.
York Gazette.
Urges New Hospital Building-
Representative R. Scott Ammer
tnan, of Montour county, appeared
before the Appropiiatious Commit
tee of the State legislature and ask
ed that the sum of $251,450 be ap
propriated for a new hospital for the
insane at Danville. The present
bospiul in that town, declared Mr.
Ammerman, is in a deplorable con
dition and should be razed to make
way for a new and modern build
ing. In outliring conditions at Dan
ville, Mr. Ammerman said that 2co
out of 1200 patients in the hospital
for the insane are compelled to use
the corridors for lack of accommo
dations. The hospital, he said, has
accommodation for but 800 patients.
Many of these, said Mr. Ammer
man, are compelled to sleep in parts
of the building under -which are
worn-out boilers which may ex
plode at any time. Homicide pati
ents, he stated, are confined in
small rooms, the building is not
equipped with electric light, and
watchmen and other employees use
torches in the course of their work.
One bath must do service for 250
patients, said Mr. Ammerman. The
sanitation, he continued, is in keep
ing with many othei delects out
lined in bis address.
Here's a hint to barbers. The
Philadelphia Record quotes a garru
lous barber as saying: "Lead pipe
will keep your razor sharp. Get a
shct piece of smallest, softest lead
pipe your plumber has in stock and
keep it handy when you are strop
ping razor. Tbe scheme is to rub
the strop with the pipe. Apply the
pipe just as you would strop the ra
zor, to the unfinished side of the lea
ther. Strop your r9?or on that side,
wind up with a few passes on the
finished side of the strop and you
will have a first-class edge on the
tool. I never took the trouble to
get a scientific explanation o f the
virtues of a lead pipe as au aid to
whetting, but it is all to 4he good
in that respect."

Bunting Ashes of John Paul Jones
Ambassador Forter has some
reason to believe that he at last has
discovered the remains of John Paul
Jones. Kver since he has been in
Paris, Mr. Porter abiy seconded by
Arthur lieilly Blauchard. secretary
of the embassy, has been following
every clue that has fallen in his
way in the effort to locate the re
mains of this peerless American
sailor.
Not long ago Mr. Porter came
into possession of seme information
which warranted at least the hope
that the sailor's skeleton- now re
poses beneat,h the foundations, or
within the cellar of some of the
dilapidated old flats which stand on
the ground once occupied by the
cemetery where the body was sup
posed to have been buried. If these
clues are to be followed, it will be
necessary to demolish anywhere !
from one to a half dozen buildings. J
It has been suggested that even
if the remains were found in the
work of excavation it would not be
possible to identify them after this
lapse of time as those of John Paul
Jones.
Mr. Porter, however, thinks
otherwise, pointing out that the
American sailor was buried in a
lead coffin, a very unusual means of
interment at that date, and one
likely to preserve the body in fair
condition for an indefinite period of
time.
March Lippiucott's Magazine.
Lippincotf s Magazine for March
opens with an admirable novelette
from the pen o f a United States
Army officer, Captain Archibald W.
Butt. It is entitled "Both Sides of
the Shield" and is placed in the
Sou;h at period about thirty years
after the War of the Rebellion.
Caroline Duer contributes one of
the eight short stories in this num
ber. This is enticingly called "A
Wingless Victory." For subtle in
genuity it is a masterpeice. In hon
or of Ireland's patron saiut, Vincent
Harper's contribution i s named
"The. Second Nocturn of St. Pat
rick," audit overflows with the wit
which has made that country fam
ous. Mrs. Israel Zangwill, under
her maiden name, "E. Ayrton,"
writes a dear little story of an
American boy and calls it U. S. A.
In Paul Laurence Dunbar's irresis
tible humor there is always an un
derlying pathos. This is the case in
"The Churning of Grandma Pies
ant.' ' An added charm to the story
is the fact that "Grandma's" sweet
individuality is "taken from life, for
she is a neighbor of Mrs. Dunbar's
in an Ohio city. "The Dam at
Mill No. 3," by Julia B. Foster,
shows both strength and original
ity. A country-story by Louise
Hardenbergh Adams is well called
"A Home Provided." The num
ber closes with a clever sketch of
cowboy life called "Stag - Hound
Bill," by Caroline Lockhart.
Two excellent papers are "Recol
lections and Letters of Sidney Lanl
ier, by Milton Harlow Northrup,
and "Where Famous Actors
Learned Their Art," by A. Frank
Stull.
The pages of "Walnuts and
Wine" are as vigorous and side
splitting as always.
The following letters are held at
the Bloomsburg, Pa., postoffice, and

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG.
To the Public
I take this moans to confirm the
report already made that I am a can
didate for re-nomination for the of
fice of Register and Recorder of Col
umbia County, at the coming Dem
ocratic Convention, subject to the
rules of the party as regularly adopt
ed. I make this announcement of my
candidacy not because all the people
all over the county have demanded
that I should, nor because I am the
only man fitted for the place but
because I want the office. I know
how AND DO THK WORK as well as
it has ever been done before. I have
been a loyal Democrat all my life
and now as editor of a Democratic
newspaper I am in a position to ren
der better service to the party than
ever before. I believe if a person
wants au office he should say so;
and with the help of friends I will
make an earnest effort to secure the
nomination this coming June.
My duties are such that I may
not be able to make a personal call
on all the voters, hence I take this
method of asking you to vote for
me.
I wish also to say to the voters
that TIIKRE is not now and NEVER
has been a Democratic rule or a-
mendment to the effect that no one
shall be a candidate, or elected or
eligible to serve more than two
terms as Register and Recorder, or
rrothouotary, etc. Furthermore I
hold a certificate from the County
Chairman to the effect that I am
properly registered as a candidate
for said office in accordance with
the rules of the Democratic party.
Sincerely,
it J. C. RuTTER, JR.

Even though a farmer raise hii own horse
feed it is worth money, and if he can accom
plish hit work with a saving of twenty-five
per cent in horse feed it is the easiest money
he makes. It has been proven by scientific
tests that the "LeRoy Plows" are lighter
draft than others. This means a saving of
horse feed. They are easy to hotd, thus
they are man savers, they "turn the earth'
just right, and good crops follow. Surely it
is to your interest to use the improved and
warranted "Le Roy Plows." You can buy
them as cheap as the old style makes. The

GRANGE NEWS.
Cy J, T. Ailman. Press Correspondent ant!
Secretary Penn'a State Grange.
Two years ago many patrons and
others as well had the pleasure of
hearing Bro. A. Ii. Morse, of Maine.
If several Pomona granges will ar
range meetings and give Bro. Morse
an invitation he will attend them
with but little cost to any one.
There is enough possible pleasure
and profit in this to prompt tbe hope
that action will be taken.
The State Grange endorsed the
series picnic idea. So anoiher se
ries will be held during the com
ing summer. The Executive Com
mittee has placed the whole matter
in the hands of our Worthy Mas
ster W. F. Hill. He will begin
work early so that all details may
receive careful attention'
These picnics have done good dur
ing the past two years. They can
do much more good and will do it if
a few essentials of a successful pic
nic are observed. The counties
that want to be included should send
their applications to Brother Hill as
soon as possible. His address is
Chambersburg, Pa.
It is urged against direct Legis
lation that, in this country, the
purchasable vote holds the balance
of power. If this is so and there is
no remedy, it does not require a
prophet to foresee the future of the
Republic. If it is so, and we do
not believe it, it must not necessarily
remain so. The honest, intelligent
people are largely in the majority.
They simply need t get closer to
gether. This the farmers are do
ing through the grange. A man
with evil intent in his heart and
graft in his pocket would be woe
fully out of place in a grange
meeting.
GRANGE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS
The State Grange has made trade
arrangements with various business
houses in different parts of the State
where members can purchase al
most anything they want i n the
house, or on the farm at reduced
prices. Those who wish tc avail
themselves of the oppottutmty thus
ofiered c a u save a snug sum on
their purchases in the line of gro
ceries, hardware, implements, fertil
izers, binder-twine, dry goods,
shoes, notions, clothing, &o. Mem
bers are not required to deal with
these houses. While we can, in
most cases, effect a considerable
saving on our purchases, yet we do
not by any means claim this feature
to be the principal object of the
Grange. This branch of the work,
however, is well worthy of a full
and careful consideration by our
membership when wishing to make
purchases.
BETWEEN THE ACTS
The Philologian Literary Society
ot the Normal School will present
Between the Acts" in the Audi
torium Saturday evening next.
This is a delightful comedy. The
dialogue is clever and spirited, the
movement of each scene is brisk,
and the keen interest in the in
trigue of the plot is not allowed to
flag for an instant. The Philo
logian Society presented this same
play once before, and tbe success of
it was most pronounced.
