In an able address to the Directors Dr. Flickinger said in part: No officer in the county has a higher duty than the school director. Education con sists of the development i>i till of man's nature. The discressionary power ofa director is almost unlimited. Lead your district for if we wait until public opinion pushes us forward we shall never make any progress. Do not make criticisms in presence of the | school. Vocal Solo, Miss Frank Huntley. INTERMISSION, i The Child in Art. Prof. Barnes. The early drawings of the child were pre sented by means of charts.

Miss Woodward continued with a story of a Tree, beginning with the way different seeds arc distributed and continued throughout its entire growth.

FRIDAY A. M. Devotional exercises, Res'. Pugsley. Music, Institute. Prof. Yetter closed his remarks on the subject of Music, and was followed by Prof. Bastian who gave an interest ing address on"The Successful Teach er." He said in part: L—The result is the whole object in all kinds of work. 2.—The measure of the result gotten should be the test of a teacher's suc cess. The successful teacher is one that does not work merely for the compen sation he derives but also for the good he can do the boys arid girls. In finding a birds nest Miss Wood ward gave us many good points some of which are as follows: You should dress as nearly like the surroundings as possible. Go very quietly through the woods so that the birds may not hear you. Try to gain the confidence of the mother bird. Do not take the nest until the birds have left it. Never touch the eggs nor blow your breath on them, since in many case 3 the mother bird will abandon the nest, With the report of committees closed a most successful Institute. B. G. WOODWARD, See'v.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24,1901. Institute Notes. The Institute:—The Institute was an unqualified success in the work done and in the results attained. The writer has attended similar gatherings in the largest counties in the stato and in his opinion little Cameron snffers nothing in comparison with them. The Superintendent:—ln Miss Mattie M. Collins,Cameron county has an edu cational leader who is unexcelled. Abreast of the most advanced ideas and progressive methods in the cause of popular education she is laboring to bring our public schools to the highest possible standard of efficiency. In pur suance of these ends and at no slight expense the most eminent educators are secured as Institute Instructors and every possible advantage is afforded the teacher for intellectual stimulus and professional advancement. The Instructors:—The Instructors wore all men and women of wide ex perience and ripe scholarship, in fact specialists in their several departments of learning and the opportunity of hear ing them was indeed exceptional. The Music:—The music was a de lightful feature. The fitness of Prof. Yetter to lead and instruct was ap parent to all. A superb voice, pleas ing personality combined with a thorough knowledgo of the subject gave him a ground of vantage and the Institute promptly responded to his touch. Maro:—The largest audience of the week, witnessed the Maro performance and was mystified with his marvelous feats of magic and charmed with the witchery and thrill of his wonderful music. Director Day :-The attendance Direc tors Day was not as large as the oc casion deserved and the instructions given merited. Those present evinced a sympathetic interest in the proceed ings and doubtless profited by what they heard. In general. The instructors from abroad were very favorably impressed with Emporium and its people, fre quently expressing themselves to this effect. The teachers were a well dressed and well behaved class, a credit to them selves, their friends and their profes sion. The absence of more than one hund red town residents at the Pan-American militated against the evening atten dance, nevertheless the audiences were of good size and were representative in character. The vocal SOIOB of Miss Frank Hunt ley were received with every manifesta tion of pleasure. Mies Wykoff accom panist was very acceptable in her dif ficult role. Continues to Enlarge. W. D. Johnson, the lumberman, who conducts oxtensivo saw and shingle mills in this county and Elk, continues to increase his work in this county. In order to facilitate his business at this place, he hasrjital thrse store rooms in Parsons' block and fitted the same for offices. The force of clerks have been moved from his store to the new offices, whore the PRESS scribe found all hands busy under the direc tion of H. 11. Cloyes, general manager. Three book-keepers are now employed, viz: Miss May McMahan, of Olean, Miss Marie Nangleand Philip Schwoik art of Emporium. Mr. Frank Johnson of Grontonia is clerk at the store. Quite a Delegation. Last Saturday was a great day for Emporiumites at Buffalo and a large number of our people attended the Pan-American Exposition.

Dispatch-Mr. Butler, the violinist, was not a disappointment, and his numbers were greeted with the enthusaism they deserved. Mr. Butler proved that he could make his instru ment speak in sweet and tender accents as well aa strong, and in the Laub- Wilhelmf polonaise his distinguishing facility of execution shone pre-eminent.

There will be but little timber and few logs to be taken to the markets from the regions drained by the West Branch and what there may be will likely be transported by rail. For next spring's drive there is only about 20,000,000 feet from West Keat ing and the entire drive will not have more than 40,000,000 feet.—Renovo News. Society Notes.

From the Blue lodge a square and compass of roses and carna tions; a beautiful crescent and pillow from his employees, and several hand some tributes from members of the family and near friends. Edwin P. Dalrymple is gone; as the cold earth shuts from our sight all that is mortal, let us remember his kind and generous acts, of which there were many.—Port Allegany Argus. Announcement.

HARRIETT WADDINQTON, aped 13 years,wife of Thomas Waddington,died at the family residence on East Alle gheny Avenue Extension, after an ill ness of several weeks. Hopes had been entertained for several days for her recovery and her death is a sad blow to her husband and large family of children. Deceased came to Emporium seventeen years ago, with her family, from England, and has been a faithful wife. Her death is indeed a terrible affliction to the husband and seven children—one a babe of only a few weeks. The funeral will be held from M. E. church to-morrow (Friday) at 2:00 p. m. Interment in Newton Cemetery. *•* MORRISEY. JAMES MORRISEY, aged 76 years died at the family residence on West Fifth street this (Thursday) morning, of pneumonia. Deceased, who has always been in robust health and never sick a day in bis life, was taken down about one week ago and his advanced age being against him his death resulted. Mr. Morrissey came, to Emporium in 1864 and remained in the employ of the P. &E. R. R. as section foreman up to within a year ago, when he was placed on the retired list. He was a quiet, good citizen and universally respected by our people, young and old. By industry and good management he accumulated considerable property, in addition to raising a large family often children, to comfort the aged widow in her affliction. The funeral will take place from St. Mark's church, Saturday at 9:30 a. m. We have been intimately acquaint ed with the deceased since our boy hood and always respected him for his many excellent traits of character. Honesty was his guiding star and no man ever knew or hoard of one mean or little transaction emanating from him. We firmly belived in his unsullied character and his upright, christian life, more valued than gold, is left as a living example for those behind. People's Course, Nov. 4th. Chicago Abendpost (translation) — Miss Rapp scored another victory at the Schiller Club before an .audience of highly cultivated as well as talented musicians Miss Rapp's pure soprano voice, so well trained, was greatly en joyed. Two songs by Meyer Helmund and"The Last Rose of Summer" met with tremendous succsss, and the enthusiastic applause may well foretell that some day we shall hear again and again of this young lady whose talent and voico are well known throughout the city and praised by all.
