From Philadelphia there were large
delegations of toughs, all armed with
slapjacks, revolvers and loaded canes, |
ready for any kind of bloody work.
The Philadelphia Quay delegation
wore silk badges on which was a cross |

and underneath the inscription, “Hog |

had delegations of armed thugs, There

cus was disoppointing, Still claims of
victory were as stout on one side as
the other and the outlook for a split in
the party became alarming.
The administration leaders
came convinced that it was necessary
to make a compromise. At midnight
five men from each faction met and
held a confere nce.
The conference lasted until 5 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The roll of del-
egates, or rather the contests were gone
over. Quay delegates from the First
ward, Philadelphia, were admitted
and the rest of the roll was permitted
to remain as published. Quay got the
best of it on the roll, Then it was
agreed by the Quay people that they
would go into the convention with

Masic Teachers and Certificates,
|
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
| tion Schaeffer has given an important
| opinion involving the right of certain
| persons to teach in the public schools
| of Pennsylvania. He decides that a
| teacher of music, drawing and other
| special branches, must hold a certifi-
| cate from the proper school authorities
| covering in addition to these branches
| the legal branches which include or-
| thography, reading, writing, geogra-
phy, English grammar, arithmetic,
history of the United States, physiolo-
gy and hygiene. This question has
arisen during the summer vacation in
many school districts of the state. The
opinion of Superintendent Schaeffer
will probably have the effect of throw-
| ing out of employment several tesch-
ers of special branches who are nol
competent to hold such a certificate.
