The following is from the Dally
News : From recent reports it is hard-
ly probable that the Nittany furnace
will resume operations for several
months at least. The fires were banked
several weeks ago with the hope of
starting when spring opened. [here
is a large stock of metal on hand at
present and there is nothing to encour-
age those who were employed at the
furnace.
Dr. Sparks expects to come to Btate
College permanently early in May, if

at Birmingham. He will also deliver
the address of welcome to thy Penne

their meeting at State College in July.
A reception to the teachers will be giv.

In his testimony before the commit.

assume that this Is an exceptions! or

pursue much the same methods of de-

name of Protection. If the stand-pat-
ters who control Congres will not per-

they will consent hereafter to a sub-

One Hundred and Thirty-eight of the Two
Hundred and Eight Directors Attend
the Conventidn
Superintendent David O. Etters was
elected to succeed himself as superin-
tendent of the public schools of Centre
county for aterm of three years, the
salary being that fixed by law, which
is approximately $1680 per year in Cen-
tre county.
One hundred and thirty-eight of the
two hundred and eight school direc
tors responded to their names when
the roll was called, and esch director
cast his vote for the superintendent s
re-election, a compliment not lightly
received by the beneficiary, as was
expressed in a neat address before the
convention adjourned.
The body assembled at eleven
o'clock, Tuesday, in the Court House,
and an organization was effected by
electing I. L. Foster, of Btate College,
chairman ; Henry CO. Quigley, Esq.,
of Beilef ute, secretary; Warren Ward,
of Ferguson township; and B. W,
Bmitn, of Centre Hall, tellers,
After the election of the superinten-
dent, Becretary Quigley, after arguing
the case as he would before a jury,
moved to increase the salary of the
superintendent to $2000 per year. Ex-
Senator Heinle followed in an indorse-
ment of the Quigley sentiment. P. J.
McDonnell, of Fleming ; Capt. C, T.
Fryberger, of Philipsburg, and several
others, expressed an opposite senti-
ment. A yea and nay vote was taken,
and the chair declared the motion lost,
whereupon Becretary Quiczley called
for a division. A rising vote was then
taken, the result being as first an-
nounced by the chair,
A motion to make the salary $1800
was also defeated.
The salary of county superintend-
ents of schools is fixed by law, but the
school directors, in convention assem-
bled, have the undisputed right to in-
crease in any sum the salary fixed by
statue, such increase to be taken from
the money appropriated by the state
to the county.
question :
That the salary of each county super-
intendent of common schools, elected
hecording to law, in the year one thou-
sand nine hundred and two, and there
after, shall be ten dollars for each of
the first one hundred schools within
bis jurisdiction at the time of his elec.
tion, five dollars for each school above
one hundred and not over two hun-
dred, and two dollars each for each
school above two hundred : Provided,
that the salary of a county superin-
tendent shall in no case be less than
one thousand dollars per anoum, nor
mot? than two thousand dollars per
annum : And provided further, that
in all counties having twelve hundred
square miles of territory, or a school
term exceeding seven and one-half
months, the salaries of sald superin-
tendents shall not be less than fifteen
hundred dollars : And provided furth-
er, that a convention of school direct.
ors, assembled for the purpose of elect.
ing a county superintendent, may vote
him a salary greater than the amount
he would receive by this act, such ip-
crease to be in all cases taken out of
the school fund appropristed for the
eounty thus voting.
As was indicated by their voles, the
directors had entire confidence in the
ability and general fitness of Prof
Etters for the office of county superin.
tendent, and the refusal to increase
the salary must not be taken as an in-
dication of either dissatisfaction with
his work nor lack of appreciation of
his efforts, but the opposition was be-
cause there was no disposition to add
tax to increase asalary fixed by statute.
A possible contributary cause to the
overwhelming defeat of the measure,
was the fallure to move honestly pre-
sent the matter both before and in the
convention by some of the advocates of
an increase. Of course, Buperintend-
ent Etters had no part whatever in
this part of the program.
