"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 16,1901. The Kindergarten. The difference between the kinder garten and primary school must be clearly understood. In the kinder garten the child discovers for himself; in the school he is given ajtask to per form. A child of four must receive in the kindergarten physical, mental, social and ethical development. That is, it must train the senses and body, teach ing him cleanliness and help to form I correct habits. It must teach the child j that another child has the same rights ; as himself, loading him to an under • standing of obedience, right, unselfis'n j ness and justice. Among the advantages of the kinder- j j garten to the public schools, the child j reads better and more naturally and i certainly writes and draws better. He is more considerate of others and more cheerfully obedient. He has gained i self-confidence, less tearfull and shy, or } less turbulent than the child who has j not been to kindergarten. The kinder ' garten is a school for the child, adapted to child nature. If it is tho duty of the slate to take charge of the child of six, j it is equally its duty to take charge of ! the child of four. The kindergarten is the natural bridge between infancy and the primary school.—Copied. Opening of Summer School. The Cameron County Teachers' Summer School will open Monday 1 next, May 20th, in High School Build ing of Emporium. This school is in | stituted for the benefit of the teachers and other young people of this section and it is hoped that it may have the ! patronage of a large number of teach j ers and others. i Owing to the great distance from j any higher school of pedagogy and i academic training this school should j be an established institution and should : receive the hearty support of all friends ! of education in Cameron and surround i ing counties. Miss VanValkenberg, a member of the faculty of the Summer School feels ; that she must have the time to herself j ! the next two months and has asked to i jbe relieved. Her place will be filled j by Chester E. Renn of Bucknell Uni- ! ! versity. Mr. Renn is a Normal School graduate and has been connected with ! | school work the past eight years, four of which he was principal of schools, i During the past two years he has been doing University work. He is a man of wide experience, thorough scholar ship and is an excellent instructor. The Baccalaureate Service. The baccalaureate service at the i First Methodist Episcopal Church last ! Sunday evening attracted a good sized audience and was an interesting occa sion. "Truth"was the theme of the sermon preached by the Rev. Robert McCaslin and his handling of it was most able, making a very favorableim- ! 1 pression upon those present. The , Rev. J. M. Robertson made the open- j ing prayer, while Rev. O. S. Metzler had general charge of the services. i The combined choirs rendered some choice music and this with a violin | solo by Miss Grace Walker formed a , delightful musical program. Harried. i Last Sunday morning Mr. George Ray, of Bradford and Miss Rose Far rell of this place were united in matri mony by Rev. Father Downey of St. Mark's Catholic church. Miss Mame Farrell, sister of the bride, acted as bride's maid, while Mr. J. B. Mulcahy took the place of best man. Miss Farrell is a very popular young lady, and has a host of friends, while tho groom is a stranger, he is highly spoken of by I his acquaintances. The young couple • departed on 11:55 train for Philadel | phia and other points. We wish them | a happy future. Established Business For Sale.

His remains were removed to the undertaking establishment of Geo. J. Laßar, where they were prepared for burial.

MeCauley, who rendered a verdict that deceased i came to his death while attempting to jump onto a freight train. It is reported that Mr. Burnham was a member of the Maccabees of Straights Creek and if so, will be a God [ send to the poor wife and children, who certainly will need the sympathy ( and aid of our citizens.

Some weeks ago Mr. Lewis suffered a stroke of paralysis and has been rapidly failinp ever since,at times suffering much pain. We have been unable to get full particulars. Starting Flower Seeds. The best way to start flower seedß early in the house is described by a wo mon writer as follows: Take a dozen large potatoes, cut them in two length wise, and with a spoon scoop out the inside, leaving only enough to hold the rind firmly. There is no wase in this, for you can use the potatoes for the table. When you have them all scoop ed out fill the shells with very fine soil. If you start your seeds in town, you can get a basket of the right kind from the florist. If you are in the country mix it yourself of leaf mould or any or dinary rich soil and a third of sand, to insure drainage. Remember the first sustenance of your baby plant is as all important as healthy nourishment for infants. Then sow your seeds accord ing to directions, and stick a tag with its name on each potato with a pin. The potatoes should be kept on plates with a little water in them. Now, place your seeds on a table in front of a sunny window in a warm room. For ! a day or two keep them covered with a ; wet square of muslin. After that keep the wet muslin on them only at night, and if they look dry spray them with an ! atomizer. You will be surprised to see ; how quick they will come up. Leave i them in the potatoes until they are quite strong, then transplant to'boxes or pots, or, if it is late enough, to the open bed. There is some virtue in the potato itself, or perhaps it is only be cause the rind keeps the earth moist, but I have found seeds come up quicker and are stronger in that way than in any other.
