THE PTTTSBUBG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, AUGUST 80. 1891.

THE
j or
Xow that everybody li getting-back to the
city with the tan of the seashore and moun
tains on face, neck and hands, the few that
have stayed at home are trying to settle
within themselves whether they have had
as pleasant a summer as the supposed lucky
people who have been away. As for the tan,
that can easily be obtained. There are sev
eral preparations sold by druggists that will
produce the required shade npon the flesh,
nud if one docs not care to use such prepara
tions, it is not difficult to get the real thing
by walking about the streets of Plttcburz
without a sunshade. A few days of per
sistent -n alking in the sun, without regard
to the possibilities of sunBtrokc, and with-
out caring whether one Is fried alive or not,
will be certain to produce a good share of
tan npon the most stubborn skin. Then one
can shine as a comDlete specimen of the
summer resort habitae, and keep one's fash
ionable reputation without difficulty.
But how about the pleasure of going
away, compared with staying at home?
There are many sensible people who will
say that it is foolish for people to submit to
the inconveniences and discomforts of sum
mer hotel and boarding house life when they
can have all the pleasures of the country,
and nose of its discomforts, by spending
their summer evenings on their own porches
in the East End, while being among their
lriends and business during the day. They
will say that a business man wants to be
within touch of his business even in sum
mer, or he will be miserable. It is all very
well siyinc that they snbuld go away and
forest it. They cannot forget it, and it they
stay away they are worried until they re
turn and know Just what has been done in
their absence. The same way with tho
thrifty housekeeper, to a certain extent. She
is anxious to know how her house is getting
along whether burglars have broken in,
whether her canary is being properly cared
for by her neighbor, and whether the boys
have broken the shutters and windows.
When the balance of pleasure is struck at
the end of the summer season it is possible
the result will show that the stay-at-homes
lmve not had so znucu the wont of it,
after all.
Saving the I-lltle Ones.
Ladles with time on their hands cannot do
better than devote some of it to the benefit
of tho poor waifs of the city who never
know wh9t it is to get into the country, save
with the aid of the charitably disposed.
The Fresh Air Fund has engaged the atten
tion of many of the good women of this
part of tho country.and the lives they have
saved can hardly be computed by those who
have not given tho matter much thought.
?.w it is proposed to purchase a farm in the
mountain district near Pittsburg, where
babies can be taken when it is evident that
tlicv need good air and fresh milk. A num
ber or cows will be kept theie, and their
milk will be brought into tho citv for the
Eitenance of the babies who are obliged to
rraiam t home. Money is needed for this
excellent scheme, and the young girls of
the city cannot do better than devote some
or their time to gathering subscriptions
therefor.
Doesn't Concern Decent People.
Somebody has tried to make people believe
that a bag to hold tobacoo Is part of the cos
tume of some decent girls. The girls are
f aid to be in the habit of smoking cigarettes.
Women that smoke cigarettes are not gen
erally discussed in the columns of respect
able paper or in respectable society at all.
What they wear or do not wear can be of no
concern to ladies.
A Pretty Trifle.
One of the new fads in the way of trinkets
Is a silver box to hold postage stamps. It is
in the form of an envelope with a red stamp
in the'oomer and a Pittsburg postmark.
The box is a pretty trifle, and, besides, is
useful. Lucrr-rE LoiutE.

It is with reluotant feet that tho teachers
and pupils will wend their way to their re
spective schoolhonses to-morrow morning,
for if all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" what a grand effect must 'an "all
play" programmo have, which has been the
lot or the school folks for tho past nine
weeks. Nevertheless, it will only be a few
days before both teachers and pupils will
take hold with tho vim that has made tne
Pittsburg schools of world wide fame.
The opening of the school year this Sep
tember is expected to mark one of the most
important events In the history of Pittsburg
scnoois, namely, tne introduction oi mo
Lloyd or Swedish sy tem of manual training.
The experimental school will be formally
opened at the Forbes School September 7.
Its cost when compared to tho systems em
ployed in other cities makes it eminently
practicable, and the success of the Pittsburjr
school will be watcned with interest by all
prominent educators.
Superintendent Luckeywhen questioned
as to the prospects of the coming school
year In Pittsburg, answered: "Elegant."
Continuing, he said: "At no time in the
history of the Pittsburg schools has the
city been so free from epidemics of all kinds
as now, and I look for a remarkably great
turnout of pupils next week. Ever since
the grip siege in the spring with Its train of
evil effects, the attendance in some dis
tricts has been irresmlar. bnt during vaca
tion the grip patients have had plenty of
time to recuperate, andVwe have every pros
pect of an exceedingly big attendance."
The Improvements Made.
All the school buildings of "the two cities
have been treated to brush, paint and other
brightening effects for their occupants, and
some have received additional touches. The
Grant school. Third ward, has new floors and
new seats almost throughout the building.
The High School class will hereafter be
located on the second floor instead of the
fourth. The Hancock school, Fifth ward,
has been entirely reseated, but it is the
teachers and pupils of the Franklin school
who will be superlatively happy. The
handsomest bnildlng in the States, If not in
the United States, will be their domicile in the
future. Other districts, durintr the vear. have
'been taking steps to accommodate the ever
increasing attendance, mo uaKiana scnooi
Board are now in possession of a large lot
near Linden Grove, on which a large build
ing is to be erected tne coming year. The
citizens of North Homestead of the Colfax
District, Twenty-second ward, have peti
tioned the Board of Directors for a new
scboolhouse. Three rooms have been added
to the Greenfield avenne school, Peebles dis
trict; likewise to the Hnmboldt school. An
addition to the lower building of the Luckey
school will be ready this fall. Both the Al
len and Homewood districts have each large
buildings in course of construction that will
not be ready before the end of the school
year.
Death's Vacation Harvest.
To the majority of teachers the vacation
has been full of brightness and pleasure, but
around some of tho homes the dark angel of
death came for his harvest. Two bright
lives of the profession were called to solve
the mystery of our after life Miss Lindsay,
of the Grant, and Miss Gardom, of the
Forbes schools. Among tho teachers who
lost near relatives were Miss Lizzie Ed
wards, the well-known primary teacher,
-whose name is a household word in the
homes of the little ones of the Hazelwood
school, who mourns the loss of her father.
From the far away west the brother of Miss
Nellie Fox, of the, Mt. Albion school, came
in the soring to die among his loved ones in
vacation. Earlier in the summer she lost
hef mother. Miss Aggie Glover, of the Soho
school, mourns ner iatner.
A number of strange faces Iwill bo seen at
to-morrow's opening of school in Pittsburg.
Marriage, retirement, both voluntary and
involuntary are tne reasons, xne cnano-es
noted are: At the South School, Second
Ward, Miss Wilson and Irene Jones succeed
Miss Haley and Grace Coles, the latter hav
married; at the Grant, Miss Uncks was
elected to the position of Miss Lindsays,
deceased; in the Hancock School, Miss Kelly
was married. Miss Crowley being the new
teacher. Prof. Sullivan will be the princi-
Sal of the Easton School Instead of Miss
enmont, Miss Nann Mackrell will be
principal of the Moorhead sohool. Eleventh
ward, in place of Mr. Johnston; Professor
Dewar succeeds Miss Hancock as principal
of the Springfield school. Twelfth ward.
There are two additional teachers in the
Mlnersville school. Thirteenth ward, and
Miss McMulIen is a new principal. In the
Oakland schools Miss Hivelywas married,
Miss Alice Alderson being elected to the va
cancy, while in the Lawrence school, Fif
teenth ward, Miss Fundenberg goes to the
High School as teacher of history, and Miss
Payne will be assistant principal.
Miss Fox was elected to a position in the
Howard schools. In tho Knox School,
Thirtieth ward, Miss Melsinger resigned
and Miss Welch gets the position. Miss
Emma McElwaln is a now teacher in tho
Lincoln School; Professor J. R. Elwood fol
lows Professor McKee as principal of the
Colfax School. In the Peebles School Miss
Mitchelen was married. The other vacan
cies noted, but whose names nnd those who
succeeded could not be learned in time for
publication, are: Two resignations In the
Howard School, two in tho Humboldt, one
In the Mt. Washington. Two additional
teachers were elected in the Mlnersville.
The AUegheny Schools.
Superintendent Morrow,of the Allegheny
City schools, is still absent in the oountry,
though he has made occasional visits to his
office. Secretary Scandrett has returned
from his visit to Catawba Islands, and gives
Interesting information about the Allegheny
schools. Tne changes in the executive heads
are: Prof. Daniels, who was for 17 years
principal of the Second ward school, re
signed and will have charge of a private
school In the East End; Prof. E. E. Miller, of
tne men c-cnooi,gots ine .rrincipaisiup. irror.
Miller's position at the High Sch ools will be
filled by Prof. J. E. Morrow: Prof.Kallen
bugh, of the Third ward, will be principal of
the Eighth ward schools, and Prof. Woods
orthe Third, Prof. E. P. Johnston, late of
Pittsburg, will have charge of the Seventh
ward Bchool, Prof. A. H. Gilchrist holds
forth at Bellevue. In the High School Prof.
Nolln will be teacher of Latin. Prof. Hoods,
the last incumbent, is reading law. Prof.
Farrar is an additional teacher.
Tho Allegheny schools do- not
open till Thursday morning. It is
expected tho High School will be tested
to its capacity, 330 pupils. The attendance
has increased 25 percent in the last year
"It is only of late," said Mr. Scnndrett,"that
the people of Allegheny could recogniize
our High School. Two years ago; we had
such poor accommodations that the people
after their children finished the ward school
course were sent to private schools. Now
the High School course is considered a nat
ural sequence to the ward. At the present
rate of increase other High School accom
modations will soon have to be secured. A
plan has already been presented. As the
school is in operation but four hours during
the day it is suggested that there be two
corps of teachers, one class of pupils to be
in school from 8 to 12, nnd these- to be suc
ceeded from 12 to 1 by a set of new teachers
and pupils."
The great pleasure to the Allegheny
teachers Is that tho new sohedule of salaries
will go into effect this month, and these
teachers will be the best paid In the coun
try. This will entail extra expense of $15,000
to the city, but the Increased State appro
priation will not only offset this, but enable
the Board of School Control to be free ot
debt and decrease the millage, after next
June. Fully 15,000 Allegheny school chil
dren will be enrolled Tuesday morning.
The Country Schools.
Superintendent Hamilton, of the Allegheny
county BChools, was being congratulated on
all sides on the success of his big Institute.
When approached by a Dispatoh representa
tive anil asked about any proposed changes,
he said: "Hereafter I will not be In my office

cording to our attendance we should have

too much. In Butler county It is but to."
When asked what will be done with the
school appropriation which was increased
by the last Legislature, he replied, "Alle
gheny county did roceive about $75,000. She
will now get two and one-half times that
amount. Of course we do not receive any of
it till after next Jnne. Increased salaries
for the teachers! What delightful news this
will be to the county teachers! A longer
school term and better school facilities are
among the uses that the directors may de
cide to do with the increased appropriation."
The Cookinj; Department.
Miss Ballon, of the Public Cooking School,
arrived from her home In Boston Friday. I
During next week she will be busy forming
her classes forthe coming term. The school
