On Tuesday next the school directors of Carbon county win be called upon to elect a man to tho most responsible posi tion confided to thejr trust, viz., tho super intendent of public schools. Tho directors have three candidates from which they are to choose a superintendent. These can didates have varied qualifications and claims to the position; but. in thU article we will speak of the preeminent qualifica tions of our worthy townsman, Prof. J. L. Pottelger. He has been preeminently suc cessful as a teacher and principal, and he is preeminently qualified to fill the Import ant position of supervising the schools. Through his efforts and under his super vision the . schools of Weatherlv have reached a standing second to none In the county, tins school lias graduated more pupils than all the other high schools In the county' combined "have graduated, and the superintendent remarked at the lifj. commencement' that Prof. Pottelger's last class was "the strongest class that ever graduated In the cQiiuty." Prof, Pottelger was one ot the leading advocates lit the cou ty for supplementary reading In our ichools, and I, think I on, safely say that the Weatherly scools have more supple' mcntary reading td-day than any other dis trict in tho county. . While he is Intellec tually and professionally qualified, he' can also lay claim to JioitAl. qualifications. ills uiiiiu is not so versatile nor his con science so flexible that he ran advocate a moral reform one day anil plead for some thing that Is In direct opposition to it the next day as ono or the candidates has re peatedly none. fror. rotlclger Is a man of I'liiNcirLE, and, as such, he docs nit waver In his opinions on moral measures as he would were ho a wucv man. In all his relations here, both as teacher ami as a private rltlzcn, he has shown himself to ne a christian gentleman. Ills work here and elsewhere In the county .deserves recognition and cannot bo conscientiously Ignored In the choice of a candidate next Tuesday. His fellow teachers in this town commend him to the directors of Carbon county. Alpha.

A great deal has been said on' Ota subject pro and con, but much more could yet be said. I have refrained rom giving my. views be fore, but fceL' that I ought to attest my knowledge of one of tho caudldates. I have known Prof. j. L. Fottelper, of tho Weatherly schools a number of years and know somo of his qualifications. I know that In scholarship he Is the equal, If not tho superior of the other candidates, He Is courteous and gentlemanly In his Inter course with all men. While ho Is quiet and reserved, he has good executive and ad ministrative ability. In short, possesses all the requistte qualifications to make a careful, Impartial, firm and thoughtful superintendent. His school work In tills cognty stands ad inlttedly as the very hlgliejtjand lie Is con stanlly developing new strength. We see a good example .of his helpful power In the Institute pamphlet which has bconpubllsh- ed for the last threo years. The publica tion of the proceedings of the County Insti tute In this form was his Idea, and all that part of the work concerns thp Institute was his work for the first .and second years of its publication.. Last year tho work was dona by Prof. Bovan and himself. This' publication has been of very great service, to the teachers In preserving, In bucIi con venient form, the Instruction given at' the' County. Institutes.- ' Then. too. the."' benefit of dividing the 'Institute'' lnld sections Is, to a largo extent. 'rluo to his advocacy of It for a year or m6ro before it was adopted. In his opening ad dress, ,at. Lehlehton, last fall a year ago, Profi Pottelger urged tho benefit ami Im portance of doing part of tho Institute work In tbjs manner. His Idtas, on, this matter may be seen by referring to the In stitute Proceedings of 18S5, I sen, inserted n tho lasi Institute Pamphlet by Prof- Snyder, a clipping from a county .paper at tributing the Origin of tho Idea to the county superintendent. Tho paper that first published It may have been mistaken In its Information, but Prof. Snyder, who Inserted It, could not have been. With "due deference to our superintendent, I must say tills Is hardly hqnest or honora ble. "Honor to whom honor is due." In teacldng and school supervision, Prof. Pottelger Is no novice. Ho lias held many Important positions and Is holding now a responsible position, where much of his time Is given to supervising tho work of the teachers. He has taught In almost all grades of work frora primary and ungraded to high school, and knows tho essentials of good work in all grades. He has within the last few years visited and studied the school system of Ilazleton, Tamaqua, Reading and Philadelphia. He Is there fore capable of judgius; tho work of 'a school-room accurately and of making broad comparisons. Iu view of these things I should say that Prof. Pottelger is eminently qualified for tho position,- and his thorough, careful, and conscientious work in ths positions he has held Is aburdant assurance as to the manner he would fulfil the duties of super intendent. Teaciieii. LnmoiiTON-, April 28, '87. Mn. EDixort: In a fow days the school directors of Carbon county will be called Upon to elect -r proper person as county .superintendent of schools forthenextthrce: years. A good deal has been said nnd wrltten.on this subject .and It is a slgnifl-l cant faqt,:that nearly all thp teachers', df-1 rectors and patrons of . the-sehoolswbo haye written articles for the paper, have expressed themselves as opposed to tho re election of the present Incumbent. I know of only one teacher who has taken up the cause of the present suRerliHendect and, judging from his waitings, he, evidently, only writes for the pleasure It affords him to see his productions In print. A man that comes from a back-woods, county should wait until he Js'suflicicnUy domesti cated before ho makes our" Atmosphere hideous with bis brags. Tho State Superintendent's comments on the law, In regard to the, eligibility of a pcison-for tho county superintendency, should leave the present incumbent without a single supporter for re-elej tlon. Is the present superintendent a mqdel of a true teacher? Is ho prevaded by that self-sacrificing .ami philanthropic spirit, and with what Rlchter calls "an almighty love" which characterized that great teacher, Pestalozzl, whose pattern we should emu late, and whose fif?t and last thought was how ie might (also the debased and suffer ing among Ids countrymen to a higher level of happiness and knowledge, by be stowing upon them tho blessings of educa tion? I am- told that . professional politicians have been working for" a certain canJhUte; This Is a rascally state 'ot things for the nineteenth century! This ollice has noth ing to do with politics, and tho candldato who solicits you to vole for him because he belongs to a certain political parly, or be cause he has shown you several favors, thereby, simply confesses that he Is not worthy of your vote. , Tieeinlnent fitness for Iho position is the only consideration for which votes should be solicited. The fatal fde that threatens the schools Is poll tics. The question of momeut In filling a place Is one of jsfi.uencu; the ope who lias that wins. This shameful spectaclopf a uiuiucr t.-aiiii iiur own ouspring is C0n stanlly enacted. thp people create the Btimwis, nuu ujL-ii in turn uevJiurs lucm. We ask the directors to leave nnlltl pn. tlrely out of the question In fillirlg-the highest office within their gift. Ask your selves this the question, Is there a teacher among the candidates who is eminently qualifleld for the position and who will gjve his whole .time to the duties of the oftlce, and thus raise our schools toanoblerplane? Philip of Maccdon thanked the god', not for the birth of Alexandra, but that Jie was born when Aihtotla was alive, that he might be taught by him. Prof. J. L. Pottelger Is Jn every way fitted for this oftlce and the directors should unanimously elect him. lEAgniiji. New Maiionino, April 21, 1S87 The argument of law and other work In which Mr. Snyder, our present county sup erintendent Is engaged In, Is not an argu- mept raised, as he claims, by thoso who aro' his enemies,. In the school laws of Pennsylvania, on page 127, section 208, we read the following: "Persons who will be engaged In other professions, while at tempting to discharge tho duties of this oflicc, should nut receive the support of ill rectors." This shows clearly that In the ininds of those who prepared tho school laws of Pennsylvania It was evident that a man engaged In another profession cannot fill the office of superintendent of schools with any satisfaction whatever. In the ; above quotation It does not stato "while discharging" 4c, but "while nflempfnj- to discharge tit WJe of .tbh) offlci!.,,r7 Those of ns who kfcow tlirong'b experience, btClre. what It Is to be a professional man, knw well that law and tho duties of a county superintendent aro enough for two men of extraordinary, ability. If 1t wero notji Important to guard against, the election of such men who are In other, professions, Hon. E. E. Hlgbee, Superintendent of Public Schools of Pennsylvania, would not have written an artlclo beating directly on this subject. Tho few superintendents In this State who hayo other professions like Mr. Snyder, .caused Dr. Hlgbee to write an artlclo on this subject. It Is written for doctors, lawyers and ministers, who are. In pfllce and are trying to be reelected on the first Tuesday In May Every director ' In tho county .should read the Stat,e Superin tendent's artlclo In tho Pennsylvania School Journal before he goes to the con vention. Any one who reads, ills article cannot conscientiously support T. A. Sny der. , Much has been said of late In the papers of Mr. Snyder's success and ability. Since he Is In oftipe our .schools have made no .progress , whatever, except In towns, and what advancements are made there Is due to the- principals. Is he fully able to show a teacher by actual teaching the methods as., they are given in Qulncy Methods? Some of our best primary teachers asked him again and again to show thim by real teaching howtoaoply thoso mathods In the school room. He never did It.JIe condemns somo of their very best meilipds or tuo very (act that lie probably docs not understand them. A mania work always speaks for Itself. Bnt as Soon as ho cannot 'show good rn suits directly In. thp ,w.rk difie by hlmselC. b.o resorts, to some other means. Does Mr. Snyder try to keep up his record In some such way? I presume most of the teachers and directors have tho pamphlet cbntalning the proceedings of our last Institute; In it you find clippings from some county papers stating that the,plan the Instltuto was ah original Idea -vlth the superintendent. Mr. Snyder knows as well as we do that Institutes were conducted hi this mannef for quite a number of. years.- The Insti tutes in tho States qf Illinois and Iowa are conducted In a similar way. Schuylkill county, Reading and Allegheny City have been conducting their institutes In this way for three or four years.. If he. wero a man he would net try to make teachers, directors and the people of the county be lieve that ho Is the author of the plan In which our Instltuto was conducted last year. Again, If Mr. Snyder should be reelected ho will serve only one term longer and then we will be obliged to elect a new man. By this ho clearly tellies that In three years he can mako more In the profession of law than one thousand dollars. Shall the chil li rcn of Caibon county be robbed Intellec tually for the sake of giving a young law yec.a living until his practice piomlscs him a livelihood? Graduate. Packkhtojt, April 27, '87. Ed.
