It was finally agreed the question was purely a political one. S.vpr.il Bloomsburirers motored to Lewisburg last Saturday to see the State Bucknell game. They saw an interesting, though one sided contest, Bucknell being tilla ble to do anything against her op ponents who won by the score of 33-0. The interest of the game, and the good weather brought out a large crowd. A remarkable case has been brought to light at Wilkes-Barre. Several days ago a woman was de tected in the act of shoplifting in a department store, but slipped away before the police could be called. She left behind her two small chil dren, a boy and a girl. Both were taken to the United Charities, where they stoutly refuse to tell their names or where they live. They are being held in the hope that the woman will return for her offspring.

Those who bidievc that nature gives various warnings in the fall when the winter is going to se vere are predicting a strenuous sea son for snow and ice and lo.v tem perature. I hey say that the wild birds which stay in the north through the winter have usually thick plumage. The shells of nuts are reported to be heavier than they are when a mud winter h coming, and the chestnut burrs are .also of the "old fashioned winter" kind, if these weather prophets are correct. Fur bearing animals are mote warmly clad, according to the same wise acres, than they are before "open" winters, and the hones of gese make the same prophecy. All of which goes for what its worth. The more the weather is watch ed, and the more the scope and im portance of the weather records be come the clearer is it that just as there are many radical and often violent changes now, so there have been fcr centuries.

Peary Ins been voted a gold medal by the National Geographic Society for having reached the north pole. The board of managers of the society iu meeting accepted unanimously the report of its subcommittee of scien tists who had examined the explor er's records and proofs and found them to he conclusive of his claim that he had reached the pole. The society decided that the question of whether any explorer reached the north pole prior to 1909 shall be referred to a subcommittee of experts, with authority to send for papers or make such journeys as may De necessary to inspect original records. This indicates that the society proposes to pass upon the lecords of Dr. Frederick A. Cook as soou as possible. The inquiry of the society into Dr. Cook's claim will be thorough and exhaustive. "We will spare no expense iu getting at the truth." said President Moore. "The com mittee will be instructed to proceed to Copenhagen to examine the rec ords of Dr. Cook in the event that those records do not reach the United States within a reasonable time."

SclnefTer, State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, in his annual report, intimates that an attempt to revive in the next Legislature the school code, which was the centre of the bitter est struggle of the last session, will be unavailing. He seems to think that the weakness of the code plan is that it is impossible to provide lor the varying needs of the school districts throughout the State by any general act. The Superintendent sounds a warning against running the prac tical education fad into the ground, and pokes a little fun at the advo cates of agricultural teaching in the schools. He approves the new em ployment certificate law. The natch-discussed supremacy of Pennsylvania in the matter of money voted to the schools is shown to be not altogether justified by the facts, and a number of other interesting matters are brought to light iu the report, important feat ures of which follow: "It will be wise for the friends of educational progress to discuss whether it is better to attempt to legislate by a complete cede or by the classes into which school dis tricts have been or may be divided, or by subjects or topics which re quire new legislation. To attempt legislation by a comnlete code is the ideal method, but it is not al ways feasible because it masses all the opponents into one body and requires concessions to individual districts which would otherwise be unnecessary. To legislate by each of the four classes into which school districts have been or may be divided permits the larger cities lo get what they need without dis turbing conditions in the rural dis tricts. To legislate by subjects or topics provokes least opposition, and hence may be the most eflec tive method in the end. Should any act of Assembly relating to a single topic be declared unconstitutional, it would not disturb the entire school system. "A complete code might simplify and unify and harmonize details which are now in contradiction For a time this would be very ad vantageous, but 111 no long time changes and amendments would be made, involving a return to the status in which our school laws are now lOiind. ir is generally agreed by our leading educators that we need modifications in the laws relating to high schools, supervision of schools, registration of teachers certificates, medical inspection, school holidays, truant schools and normal schools. "Legislation of great importance to the schools was enacted at the last session of the Legislature. The issue of employment certificates to pupils who are between 14 and 16 years of age will, after January 1, 1910, be entirely in the hands of those in charge of the schools. To avoid the necessity of issuing two certificates, one under the mining act and the other under the factory law, a special form of certificate was prepared with the assistance of the Deputy Attorney General. "The law requires that the cer tificates issued by those in charge of private academies and parochial or denominational schools shall be reported to the proper public school authorities, hence full lists will be open for inspection by those who are anxious to prevent the illegal employment of children. "It will henceforth be less diffi cult to secure compliance with the laws regulating compulsory attend ance and employment certificates, because the officials who are re sponsible for the schooling of the child will henceforth issue the em ployment certificates to minors between 14 and 16 years of age.

Bloomsburg, Pa. One Actress's Experience. Surely the actor may be forgiven his frantic desire to appear on Broadway after an experience like that of the actress who tells her story in the ' Woman's Home Com panion for November. It must have been a deep devotion to art which could survive an experience like this. The most amazing was my dis covery that the ancient ban against the players, which existed iu Rome and persisted with the Puritans, is still in force in certain places in enlightened America." A New England hotel-man told me that "many a player's pretty flat in New York is furnished with towels marked 'Hotel Majestic,' and spoons stamped 'Hotel Newman.' " l m afraid there's a grain of truth in what he says. But I've seen ash-trays and such things in some college rooms that wouldn't bear too close inspection. I've never heard, however, that college-men were refused admittance to every hotel in town, as "undesirable citi zens." et that actually happened to me in a certain town in Ohio. When I reached the town in question it bears the same name as the seat of a famous university I was ill. I climbed into a car riage at the station with my maid, and told the driver to take us to the better of the two hotels the town boasted. "It's no use, miss" he said. "They won't neither of 'ein take you." I was dumbfounded, and persist ed in my request. The driver, however, was right. Not only would neither hotel take me, though I fancy I didn't look disreputable even if I did look ill, but neither would so much as give me supper. They could not cater to "show people," the proprietors said. I then told the driver to go along the streets, stopping wherever there was a sign of a boarding-house. After rt while, the driver informed tne bruskly that he'd "got to feed his bosses an' get back to the de pot," so my maid and I were dumped out into the cold, dark, muddy streets, with two heavy hand-bags, in a strange town.
