SATURDAY MORNINO ACQUST IS, 1871.
OpeningofNewSchool-house
A Gala Bay in Lehighton
In accordance with nottco given our
new, commodious and baadsomo School
building was dedicated on Monday last.
The day was floe, and a largo concourse
of people wero present on ttio occasion.
At 2:110 r. m. the assembly was called
to order In the largo ball ot the School
building, by our efficient County Super
intendent, H. F. Hofford. Kov. L. B.
Brown, paBtor of the tho Parryvlllo M.
E. church, opened tho exercises by a
very appropriate prayer, earnestly Im
ploring divine blessings upon school,
teachers and people.
Followed by singing by the Lehighton
Choir, under tho leadership ot Bev. D.
K. Kepncr, with organ accompaniment
by Prof. A. P. Horn. Tho organ used
on the occasion being nPackard Orches
tral, ot the sweetest toue, kindly loaned
by Jr. Horn, the agent, for the occa
sion. R. F. Hofford then addressed the au
dience. After explaining that several
of tho speakers had been unavoidably
prevented from attending, he said this
was an' occasion on which he felt proud,
nnd ho thought tho entiro people of Le
blghton should also feel proud It was
nn Important epoch In tho history of tho
Lehighton School district; that all should
feel a just pride In the eneigy of our
School Dlrectois In providing so noble
Board and Is a credit to the people,
and magnificent a School building for
tho acommodation ot our children a
building that reflects honor on tho
In training tho children, tho physical
wants as well as their moral and Intel
lectual culture should be looked after,
and to this end, one of the principal
things was a well ventilated and com
modious School building; he asked was
it right that we spend so much of our
means upon the beautifying of our
homes, and 6cnd our little ones to
cramped-up, illy ventilated School
rooms? Should wo not bo willing to
fcpend a little for tho purpose of making
the School-room attractive to them? It
was unjust to tho teachers and unjust
and cruel to tho children not to do so.
He concluded with a beautiful eullglum
on the benefits of--tho common ooliool
systom to all our people rich and poor
were tucre upon oue universal equality.
Tho Furt Allen Cornet Baud, of
Welssport, who had kindly volunteered
their services for tho occasion, then de
lighted the assembly with oue ot their
choice selections; followed by the Le
highton Choir.
Prof. J. Rowland, of Parryvllle, then
addressed tbo meeting, no said, though
unexpectedly called upon, he deemed it
necessary to say something, in order to
show his intense lntorest in the cause of
education. Too much, he said, could
not be said In praise of tho Directors
who had raised so noble an edifice. Ills
remarks were principally addressed to
the children, and wero delivered in
peculiarly happy and comprehensive
manner.
Prof. S. A. Harnett, the principal of
Schools, then made a few observations;
asking the co-operation of parents in
tho work before them; that with their
co-operation they would endeavor to
inake the best schools as well as tho
best school building In the county.
The Lehighton Choir then tondered
ncholco piece, and tho afternoon session
adjourned with musio by tho Fort Allen
Cornet Band.
The hall In tho evening was densely
filled, there being not less than 1000
persons assembled to enjoy thooccaslon.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30
o'clock by 11. F. Hofford, O. S. Bev. E,
A. Wiggins, pastor of tho M.E. church,
of Maucli Chunk, opened tho exercises
In a very elegant and appropriate pray'
er, followed by singing by tho choir.
Dr. N. B. Beber was then Introduced
and spoke as follows : In the spring of
of I860, on tho evening of tho 26th day
of March, the first School Board ot tho
Borough of Lehighton met for organiz
ation In Dr. N. if. Beber's office. Tho
members ot tho Board E. A. Bauer,
fli. jr. iiellman. a. A. Bantee, U. M,
Sweeney, T. 3. Beck and N. B. Beber
wero all present. Tbo organization
was completed by electing Rev. E. A,
Bauer President, N. B. Beber Secretary,
and M. F. Iiellman Treasurer. After
holding several meetings and discussing
tne scnooi question, it soon Decamo ap
parent that there wero two tmrties in
tbo Board. Accidently tho majority
were In favor of good schools. Bitter
and angry wero the discussions on tho
.subject ot respectable schools and school
buildings, which finally resulted In tho
majority deciding to purchase two lots
And to erect a two-story brick building,
consisting of a main building, contain
lug two rooms, with a wing attachment
wiui one room on cacti uoor, mating in
all six rooms in the building; so erected
as to icake it convenient to build ano
ther wing attachment for two rooms
more wuen the population required It,
The lots wero purchased,' proposals re
ceived and contract awarded, all sanc
tioned by tho Board, but riot regularly
and officially signed. Unluckily two of
tho majority wero olected for tho short
term, and tho year being out, two now
Directors were elected In favor ot no
school houso nnd four months' term,
backed up by a strong rcmonstranco
against building. Tho contract was
nullified end tho contractor ordered to
discontinue work; tho digging for the
foundation then douo remains to this
day. Thus matters went on a little
longer, until finally necessity compelled
tho Directors to provldo more school
accommodation. A two-story frame
was then built, with Just room enough
to accommodate tho pupils. This af
fair cost about one-third as much ns tho
two-story brick building under consid
eration about ouo year before. Two
years after nioro school room wai re
quired, and It we could not have been
accommodated by Mr. A. S. Chrlstino,
ot the Carbon Academy, another affair
undoubtedly would havo been put up.
Again, school affairs wero allowed to
drag along for a year or two more.
Our children wero crowded and cooped
up in unhealthy rooms sometimes
moro like cattle pens than school rooms.
The school men being In tho minority,
no more agitated the school houso ques
tion until tho election of 18G0, whon
another grand effort was mado at tho
polls to elect men who wero In favor of
eight months school. By hard work
and with the assistaiuo of somo of our
prominent citizens, among whom our
bard-working County Superintendent
was tho most prominent, who without
fear, favor or affection remained all
day at the polls battling against ignor
ance and superstition. After tho clos
ing of the polls and counting of tho
votes, ono ot the grandest victories was
announced that ever took placo In Le
highton. Fifty-seven majority for an
eight months' term 1 The school men
wero Jubilant 1 Tho anti-school men
took alarm, nnd Immediately agitated
opposition to a now school house. So
our children were compelled to Inhabit
tho small school rooms, with dilapidated
furniture, in a tottering building that
shook to its very foundation when
Young America moved away fiom
school. Not a summer vacation passed
around but what dissatisfied Young
America came near battering down that
pile that never looked unlike anything
else moro than a school house. A few
years more of unsuccess to the bcliool
men dragged slowly along, willi an
eight months' term, until another tri
ennial election took place. At this
lime tho condition of our schools was
disgraceful In the extreme; from 60 to
80 pupils in rooms 18 x 27. somo on
things called benches and desks others
under, and tuo building propped aud
stayed for fear of falling. It was only
a miracle tnai funerals wero not sud
denly and greatly multiplied.
In 1872 ignorance and superstition
came out with a bold front. But tho
school men, on tho platform ot a $25.
000 school house, also mado their ap
pearance, determined to win and noth
ing else. Hard and stormy was tho
contest a lew lsnocK-downs, without
serious lnlury, occurred, just enough to
snlco tbo contest. It was only caualled
In 1800 no 1'retldential election over
agitated tho people more. With 20
majoiity, success again crowned tho
efforts of the school men, who Immedi
ately prepared to erect the monument
wo tins day dedicate. Wltli consider,
able troublu a location was finally dec!
ded upon, and after every obstacle and
every opposition was exhausted, wo
broke ground, with not enough money
to pay a cay a teaming, ueiug comnei
led to clvo a $1000 bond as part pay
ment for the lots. Let us now take a
view of the state ot affairs. After all
this bad been done, another year was
hurrying on, another election had Just
taken placo ; tho nowly elected mem
bers wero supposed to bo anti-school
men, but the contiact was signed, seal
ed aud delivered, aud tuo contractor or
dored to go ahead, which bo did almost
at tho risk of his life. Not a cent In
tho treasury, but with authority to bor
row money, and with enough backbono
and grit, tne Building Committee pre
pared and determined to accomplish
what they had undertaken. At first
tue money camo in slowly ; tno anti-
school men bad circulated reports that
tho Board had no authority to borrow
money ; out tins increased opposition
only increased tho determination of tho
Hoard. Finally, all opposition was
overcomo, and this pile of brick, inortar
and wood gradually took on a symmet
rical iorm, mat lorru mis uay ou will
prove an honor to thoso who conceived
its construction, a biessiug to tho rising
generation, nnd another step forward lu
iuo grana marcn ot progress.
I do not feel llko having performed
my wholo duty without paying soino
triuute to tne momory ot our departed
friend and fellow member of tho ioard,
JU. Uranvlllo Ulauss, whoso vnluablo
services only terminated with his life.
To him as much as to any member of
tno .uoarci are wo indented lor tne early
success ot tho school party. Ho served
as oecretary or tno scnooi Hoard tor a
number of years, was first and foremost
in the ranks. When tho question ot the
new school houso was considered, with
tottering stops he wended his way to
tho school ground to assist by his pres
enco and his advice, He always feared
the opposition would be tod great, aud
In his greatest weakness rendered the
greatest assistance,. Fearing that we
would not be able to ralso money suffi
ciently soon, shortly before bodied, he
requested that his life insurance money
be invested In School Bonds, when ho
might havo invested elsewhere Just as
safe; thus, when our peoplo were alrald
to loan the School Board money, he, by
bis example, dispelled all fears and
doubts always having been looked
upon as ono ot our best financiers. Ho
U dead. Ho has passod away. Ills
last service, to his honor be It said, was
to provide the best means for tho edu
cation ot the poor man's children.
Fellow citizens of Lehighton, wo meet
you hero this evening, to annouueo that
the work In which wo havo been engag
ed Is finished, and this edifice Is at last
ready to shelter our children within Its
walls. It Is not tho business ot the
Committee to dilate upon Its own labors,
nor tho manner In which thoso labors
havo boon performed, nor would good
taste permit them to descant on tho fit
ness of our edifice for tho purposo to
which It Is designed. It Is capable ot
speaking for itself, through 1U propor
tions and its style. It these fall to im
press you, any words ot mine would
prove worso than useless.
Fellow citizens, wo havo just cause to
congratulate each other upon the com
pletion of this edifice, with picasuro
wo perform this ceremony: in ueiiaif or
tho School Board and tho peoplo ot Le
highton, I request that this edifice bo
set apart nnd dedicated to tho business
and purposes of Education.
Well may wo congratulate eacn otner,
the borough of Lehighton is favored
with an harmonious school uoaru
never before so harmonious sinco a
borough united on tho platform of the
best schools for our children. AVe may
also congratulate ourselves upon having
secured so excellent a corps of teachers
not excelled by any In tho c6unty,
and best ot nil, wo, the people, are, uni
ted all parly feeling on tho subject or
education has died. Wo can, this day,
Join hand In hand, woik shoulder to
shoulder, aud inaugurate n new era
tho era of good schools and tho best
school accommodations, second to none
intho county; bringing Liltlo Carbon up
to a higher standard second to nono la
the State. (Applause.)
Ho was followed by ltov. E. A. Wlg-
g!ns,of Jaucli Chunk, who charmed tho
largo audience Willi his eloquenco for
fully ono-half hour.
Rev. G. W. Townsend, of Packerton,
then took tho stand, and spoke eloquent
ly and well upon "Education ,uud its
relation to Christianity."
Daniel Kalbfus, Ejq., of Mauch
Chunk, was then introduced, and prov
ed to bo In one ot his happiest moods;
ha spoko eloquently to tho littlo ones
going right straight homo to tholr
hearts, causing their faces to beam with
with smiles of Joy by his happy hits
at characters. Ho took his beat amid
tremendous applauso from parents and
children.
Prof. Barnctt, then addressed a few
words to tho parents earnestly asking
them to send their children to school,
punctually and regularly.
The singing ot tho choirand tho play
ing of the cornet baud between tho dif
ferent addresses tended much to tho in
terest of the occasion.
Tho evening exercises closed at about
ten o'clock, aud proved to ba ono of
much pleasurable enjoyment to nil who
participated.
Philadelphia Letter.
PniLAiELi'niA, August S, 1874,
SEA-SIDE CHARITIES.
Philadelphia Is noted for its charitablo
Institutions, ami although our city has
numerous homes for thu poor and afflict
ed, soino of our charitable disposed citl
zona havo erected what ml nil t bo term
ed summer homes at the sea-slile, for
tlm ii5n of the noor. Tho Chlldicn's
Seashoro Home at Atlantic City, N. J.
is a creat charity, and Is doing an im
menso amount, ot goou. it is as its
namo Implies, a homo for small child
ren, who aro taicen lucre uunug tne
summer months, to escape tuo neat and
dust or our city. It Is well know that
infant mortality Is greathero during tho
heated tei m.children dying by the score,
whoso lives aro sacrificed for want of
fresh air, nnd tho Children's Seashoro
Homo has sayed tho life ot many au
Infant which lias temporarily been giv
en in Its chargo by its parents.
At Asbury Park, ueur Long Branchy
N. J., our Womou's 6'hrlstlan Associa
tion has recently erected a working
women's hotel, which has been opened
for tho entertainment of worthy work
ing women, who willba received at S3
per week for boarding and lodging.
The hotel, by next season, will be able
to accommodate too boarders. Above
2000 visitors wero present on tho occa
sion of tho opening. Mayor Stokley of
our city presided, and considerable
speech making and excellent singing
formed tne opening exercises, a inrgo
amount of money was donated by thoso
present, to aid tho now enterprise,
which has tho best vlshe3 ot all for its
success.
DR. CHARLES F. MATLACK,
who was tho first American physician
to openly practice and advocate homeo
pathy lu tha State of Pennsylvania, died
recently nt his residence In this city.
Dr. Matlack was born In Moorestown,
N. I., In 1708, and afterstudylng phar
macy, entered upon tho study of medi
cine and Its practlco under Dr. Joseph
Parrlsh, graduating ns a physician at
tho Unlverslty.ot Pennsylvania in 1820.
Until 1833 ho practised in tho allopathla
school, but at that timo had bis atten
tion drawn to the subject or Homeopa
thy, by seeing brief notices of It in
medical Journals and through meeting
with foreign copies of Hahnemann
works. Ho subsequently practised tho
system and defended it against the as
saults ot opponents.
TUB AUDUCTED CHILD.
Charley Ross, still engrosses the atten
tion ot the public. Tho largo reward
offered tor bis recovery has put every
one on tho alert to secure him, and it Is
somewhat ot a risk to appear In publlo
with a small boy with Uaxen ringlets.
Arrests aro made hero every day, and
a number ot would bo detectives had
visions of greenbacks beforo their eyes,
aud wero much disappointed to find
they had been on tho wrong scent.
Whether tho child will over bo recover
ed is much doubted, as thero is not yet
tho slightest cluo discovered as to Ills
whereabouts.
A REFORM NEEDED
There Is consideiable complaint ex
pressed that our Fairmount Park Is a
rich man's Park, aud not for tho bene
fit ot tho poor man. There Is too much
truth In this complaint, as tho Park
seems to have been mado a resort where
the poor man feels out ot place. Tho
numerous restaurants which abound,
charge enormous prices for their refresh
ments, much higher than Is charged by
any of our principal city restaurants.
I Most of the Park is given up to carriage
roans, ana a peaestnau is uueiy to bo
run over at any moment. There is no
cheap modo of transportation, and the
majority of our people never seo tho at
tractive spots in tho Park, they being
Inaccesslblo to thoso on .foot. Twenty
five cents, which is charged as admis
sion to the Zoological Garden, dobars
many from visiting It, and a poor man
fluds It an expensive luxury to mako a
visit, whore bo should bo entertained
and amused at a small cost.
OUR EXTORT TRADE.
for July shows an aggregate export ot
domestic produce valued at $3,007,010.
Very nearly ono half of this was petro
leum, there being 11,203,270 gallons
shipped, which were valued at nearly
1,G00,000. Wo also sent out $700,000
worth of bread stuffs, $330,000 of pro
visions, nnd $228,000 of tobacco these
being tho chief exports. About one
third of tho export was sent abroad in
.American vessels. Our shipping lntor
est Is growing In lmportanco aud bids
fair to rival Now York at no distant
day.
Yours truly, Modoc.
