Turns the Office tf Superlntcntcnt of

THE CHANGES OP EIGHT YEARS
Professor Phillips Briefly Outlines the
Work That lias IJccn lkino Since lie
JKcamo Superintendent of the
Schools of Scranton.
Aftsr eight years of faithful, con
scieniicus worK us superintendent of
the public schools of this city Pro
fessor George W. Phillips retired yes
terday to make way for his successor.
Professor Gtorge Howell. Falling
health made It necessary for Mr. Phil
lips to resign and give up the work he
was so enthusiastic in pushing for
ward, and Mr. Howell was selected as
a worthy successor to him.
The new superintendent will enter
upon the duties of his olllce at once,
although his commission will not ar
rive from tdarrlsbun; before Nov. 13.
In the meantime he can perform all
the duties pertaining to his olllce save
signing certificates. Yesterday the re
tiring superintendent removed his ef
fects from the otllce, in the Municipal
building, that his successor might take
possession at once.
Mr. Phillips retires from office with
the tatUfaction of knowing that he has
done a great work for the advance
ment of education, in Scranton. Its
public schools were never before on
such a hili plane of usefulness. He
had much new, and in a sense mission
ary wtirk to cVj, when he first entered
otllce, but obstacles were surmounted
or.e 'by one, and his successor Hints
the road for further advancement made
straight and plain. .
Was Elected In May. 1887.
Mr. Phillips was elected superintend
ent of schools in .May, 1SS7, and In the
following month, along with a commit
tee of the school board, consisting of
F. L. Wonr.ser, John II. Fellows, M. J.
Kelly, H. A. Kingsbury and Oeorge H.
Thompson, he visited a number of cities
of the state to ascertain from personal
observation ho.w schools in these cities
were conducted.
"From the experience gained by three
years' service In the schools as teacher,"
said Mr. Phillips, in conversation with
a Tribune reporter last night, "Iknew
that one great obstacle In the way of
advancement was thnt the school sys
tem of the city n-eede'J to be mapped out
upon bronUer lines, and 'this could only
be affected by a comparison with the
worse done hi other cities. Upon the
return of this committee changes were
nt one entered upon, which enabled the
board of control to secure more efficient
service with a reduction In the teach
ing corps of twenty-seven. Independ
ent of the saving of the money to the
school district which was a number of
thousand dollars per year, subsequent
expense has fully demonstrated the
wisdom of the step.
"A review of ithe past olght years of
my admlalstnatlon is what you want,
you say? Now, that is somewhat difll
cult owmg'to the many-sidedness of the
subject. When you consider that there
was not an Individual desk In tiny
school room, not a single Improved sys
tem of ventilating or heating, not a
number table in a primary room, not
an (Object to aid the primary teacher
In Illustrating her work, you- can
Imaglno what a herculean task was be
fore any one looking to the advance
ment of the schools. In the past eight
years twenty school buildings have been
erected, or provided for, at a cost of
marly, or quite, three-quarters of a
million dollars.
Lrcetion of the High School.
' "To see the erection of our high
school alone Is sulllclent recompence for
any administration. All our new
buildings are modern In design and well
suu pted for the purfloscs Intended.
Just here, let me remark, tha.t with 'the
expenditure of such a great amount
of money there has been no whisper
of a Job, or cmrruption.
"The schedule of salanles prior to my
term of office was based upon t'he grade
taught. That is, the lowest Falury was
paid In the primary grade and wus in
creased grade by grade. You can read
ily see how 'this caused a constant
change wher.evre a vacancy occunred,
as each teacher wished to be advanced
for the $5 per month difference on sal
ary. The board at Us first or second
annual meotlng after my election so ad
Justed the schedule that all teachers In
the common school department should
be paid alike according to term of ser
vice, except the lowest, or first prim
ary grade, where such teacher was paid
an advance over other grades, as more
patience, painstaking work was re
quired, and to offer an encouragement
for 'teachers to remain in this grade.
"Then, too, the board saw that it was
unjust to make a distinction for equiv
alent service botwen the male and fe
male teachers, and now pays both alike
when occupying similar positions.
Whll the salaries of principals and some
subordinate teachers are too low, yet
every year, for the past eight, teachers
In some grade, or department, have hud
their salaries advanced. I have not
spoken of the material progress of the
schools, not because that is of not the
first Importance, but because these
changes or improvements are the ones
most readily observed. This 'brick and
mortar' estimate is the one too often to
be applied.
Have Kept Abreast with Advancement.
"While I would speak of the profes
sional side of the work with some hesi
tation, yet by comparison, I believe the
teachers themselves have kept abreast
with the extreme advancement. Year
by year the standard of qualifications
for techers has been raised which
should, in time, produce a marked im
pression upon results obtained In the
schol room. The introduction of form
study and drawing has produced a
greater change in the broadening and
enlargement of the horizon of both
teacher and pupil than they now, per
haps, fully realize.
"If teaching is ever to become a pro
fession It must progress along lines
that cannot be successfully carried on
by those not of the cult Penmanship
In the past two years has been greatly
Improved, owing to d change In the sys
tem formerly In use. All the branches
of the school room show more intelli
gent expression, yet, I believe, we must
operato 'line upon line," subject by sub
ject, until the teacher Is fully compe
tent to present every branch required
according to its true importance and
relation.
"The training school will do its best
work only when adequate and special
preliminary provision u made for those
purposing to enter. With the enlarge
ment of the city, and the enriching of
the course the training school will in
crease more and more In importance
and usefulness.
"The new high school, under the effi
cient corps of Instructors, will be the
strongest agent In reform all along the
line. As all 'roads led to ancient Rome.'
so the influence of the high school
should be felt by every teacher and pu
pil, bringing both to a higher apprecia
tion of what good Instruction and a
good education means. I leave the of
floe with many misgivings because, de
spite all that seems fair upon the sur
face to the casual and superficial ob
server, there are so many Improve
ments that should be made and must
be accomplished before our schools can
reach a state commensurate with the
Importance of our city.
Moon Mora Might Have Dean Dons. .
"Were I permitted to begin the work
with my present experience much more
might have been brought about. I sur
render the office wit'h the most kindly
feelings toward all with whom I have
associated, and especially toward the
teachers through whose loyalty and
wllllnmeaa to Derform every duty so
plished. They deserve greater consid
eration at the hands of the community.
The time will soon come, I hope, when
expenditure of intellectual power shall
receive a more adequate compensation.
. "As to my future plans, I would say
that my health la the first considera
tion. I want to be absolutely free from
ary restraint upon my time or Inclina
tion, and so have accepted the position
of manager of a life insurance company
for the eastern half of Pennsylvania,
with headquarters In "cracton."

Play That Are Hilled to Appear in the
Theater of the C.tj.
Ilooley'a theater, in Chicago, is one of
the motoric p.a bouse in mis eountiy.
.minus u'lNclu's career wus speru tneie,
una in reviewing o,u reconectiuua of tout
pluco tne other uuy, he said: "X.aui a
uuuU or memories me name of l-loj.ey'
ttitatcr brmud uii;tl the t;uou oiu unit's
when we played in that popular I may
say without vanity comuinatlon caned
liooley's Coin til y company. Tilers wca
Uliuam II. Crane, Harry Muruock, the
popuiiii- and enthusiastic young comedian
who was burned to death in the Urooklyu
tire; Nellie Muiiein y, lamous fur her cnar
ai'torli.jtlon of liht comedy rolea; Nute
Salisbury, one of the beat character ac
tors of the time, and others whom tne
public have apiiluuiltd on every stage In
the country. We opened the theater with
'ld Astruy,' which was then new, but,
unlike the methods of today, we were ex
pected to play ail sorts of pieces at a mo
ment's notice. Saturday nights, as the
leading man, I had tho privilege of nam
ing the piece to be produced, and the lirjtt
play I selected was 'The Merchant of
Venice,' in which I played tho part of
Shyiock. It was favorably received by
the press and my friends. Succeeding
Saturday nlfthts 'Hamlet' and 'Othello'
were put on with such success that 'Hum
let' was reproduced by request on several
occasions. In the year following I went
to California with tho same company,
and there I still continued th; special per
formances Saturday nlxhts, playla
nichellcu,' 'Othello,' 'Hamlef nnj
'Homeo.' I then returned to Cmcago as a
member of the t'nlon Square company,
after which I played with Lawrence Har
rctt at Hooley's theater. On the third
night of the engagement Mr. Barrett
said: 'O'Nelil, this is the happiest nlirht
of my life. 1 havo been coming to Chl
capo for fifteen years, and I have for thi
first time seen the 'standing room only'
sli;n displayed In front of the theater.'
This meant a (treat deal to Mr. Barrett,
as Mr. Booth was playing an engagement
nt another house here at the same time."
Mr. O'Neill will be e! tho Frothingham to
night In "Viritinlus" and tomorrow night
In "Monte t'rlsto." Ho Is supported by a
line company.
Illnek Sheep Tomorrow Night.
Next Saturday evening at the Academy
merriment will relgu supreme, the occa
sion being the lo;iK-lookud for engagement
of lloyt's enormous success, "A Black
Sheep.'' This is tho luteal work of this
popuiur playwright, und it Is the unani
mous verdict of the critics everywhere It
lias been presented that of all tho many
successes that Charles Hoyt has produced,
"A Black Sheep" Is by all odds his best
work, and has already proven his great
est linam-lal success. Tho presentation of
"A Black Sheep" la a sumptuous one.
All the scenery, of which there Is three
scenes, has been especially painted by the
celebrated scenic artist, Arthur Voegtlln.
Milton Aborn Opera Company.
"Said l'asha" will be the opening bill to
be presented by Milton Aborn and his
clever associates Monday evening, Nov. 4.
This opera abounds in beautiful music
and sparkling comedy and affords Mr.
Aborn an excellent opportunity to display
his ability. The sale of seats opens this
morning at the box office of the Academy.
It would be well to secure seats at once,
as the demand for choice seats Is very
great. Two matinees will be given, on
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons,
when children will be admitted to any
part of the theater for 10 cents. "Marl
tana" will have Its first presentation In
this city at popular prices Friday evening
of next week.
Rush for tho Brownies.
There was an unexpectedly large de
mand for seats for the three performances
of Palmer Cox's "Brownies" at the Kroth
ingham next Monday ami Tuesday even
ings and Tuesday afternoon, when the ad
vance sale was commenced at the Froth
Ingham box olllce yesterday morning. Per
sons who saw "The Brownies" on the oc
casion of Its first xislt to Scranton will
want to see It a second time, for the won
derful spectacle has been greatly changed
and Improved since last seen here. New
music and new and elaborate scenic and
electrical effects have been added to the
piece, and tho cast now Includes a number
of comedians and vocalists who were not
seen here when the extravaganza was
first presented. Miss Inex Mlcuskar, a
soprano of charming presence and rare
talent, Is one of the new members of the
company. Uuring the past summer she
was soloist with Sotisa's band at Manhat
tan Beach. The Richards, the four sensa
tional acrobats whose daring iperform
uncos thrilled Srrantonlans, will also be
seen with "The Brownies." The spectacle
will no doubt attract three packed houses,
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
IIIXP 1 OR WORTHY AM) NEEDY.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A visitation of the kindergarten
and night schools, planted and sustained
by the executivo committee, of which Col
onel It. M. Boles Is chairman, and A. W.
Ukkaon Is treasurer, uniting our peoplo
of foreign tongues, hus reveuled the fact
on which this pica Is founded.
Many of the little children who have
been crowding these schools will have to
abandon them as soon as the stormy
weather comes for want of sutllclmt
clothing to protect them. Girls of from
4 to 12 years are to be found by the dozen,
clud in a single gown of calico, out of
which the winds of summer have blown
both "starch and lilling," und translucent
enough for Uamuscus curtains. Boys,
with nothing but "shorts" short enough
to reveal about all the sturdy legs and
feet they have.
Tho sharp winds of today painted these
members all colors and shades. Ugh!
Our committee, of visitation have been
shivering half a day In the steam heat of
the city from the vision of these children
today. So anxious to learn, they come
barefoot from households too poor to
clothe them, and too manly to beg for
anything but work and wagc3, yet with
out friends except us straightened as
themselves. Bare heads, shoulders,) legs
and feet make a wretched picture on the
face of approaching winter when they be
long to such children of the honest work
ers as we visited today.
Now, there are garments, outgrown or
half-worn and fashion superanuated
half-worn and fashion superannuated
the closets of our good people of this city
which Ood has blessed to wrap up In
comfort all these children of the worthy
strangers. I believe those who have them
would be glad to contribute them and so
relievo themselves of the necessity of
holding them to dole out to the army of
tramps which marches and counter
marches through our streets with the
seasons, and are sure to rain down with
winter storms.
With this conviction this appeal Is made
to all who aro looking for the opportunity
of real charity. Please send whatever you
may llnd It In your heart to give to the
residence of Colonel Boles, as Mrs. Boles
has consented to take charge of all such
garmonts as may bo made, useful to such
families and see that they are appropriat
ed In such a way as not to harm the self
respect of those virtuous and poor
strangers. The missionaries who live
among and work for these children will
distribute them. What kind of clothing?
All kinds outer and under, hats, shoes,
stockings, dresses, caps and coats; not
fancy, but warm; and of all sizes, from
the toddler of 2 years to the boy and girl
of 12. . Nor yet keep back a blessing from
the tolling mothers. 8end all to Mrs.
Boles, Clay avenue. Very truly,

v:as a night op social gaiety
Party Given by Mrs. T. U. Wurtins at
Her Homo on Monroe A.cnae
fiance of tho Columbus Council.
Caledonian Celebration.
Last night was Ilollowe'cn. Between
the hours of tunset and midnight was
thi? time, according to Scotzii tiiper
stltlon, when witches, devils, fairies
and otaer imps of earUi and air should
have held their annual holiday. The
imps were abroad all right, but whether
they Included the kind that LOLliy
Buir.3 cans about or not is a ques
tion. There may have been witches putting
evil ideas into the heads of old and
young; there may have 'been little green
devils pulling one's hair er whitkers,
and there may have been lovely pink
fairies doing deeds of kindness. None
of these were visible, po.-slbly because
tho night was so dark and wet. But
there were modern imps of the 1S!5
vintage, Scranton variety, who revelled
in mixing fifteen puzzles of their nelgh-bDi-'s
gates, throwing beans, working
tie&-taoks and pci forming other evo
lutions too numerous to mention.
Young America, certalrAy had his
fling, as broad a fling as went with a
wet skin and chilly bones, but there
were others who observed the e'en after
the sensible customs which have in
deed make it hallowed. Especially
the Scotch residents cf the city signal
ized the holiday In sensible fashion.
They gathered in family or octal par
ties In many a home, but sat not with
bated breath and nervous aicin, as did
their lor.j-ago ancestry, on the watch
for things satanlc which they hoped
would not appear or for pleasant clfs
whose presence they desired. The
Scotch of last night bobbed for apples,
played blind man's bluff, ate and sang,
and did other things best calculated to
make Hollcwe'en a period of pleasure.
Many native Americans, too, made
the early hours of the night a period
of sociability. There were several
house Ilollowe'cn parties and maybe
same theater parile. Anyhow the
young boy, the old boy and thope of
the gentler sex enjoyed the festival in
Ways which pleased them most.
A Hallowe'en party was given last
night by 'Mrs. T. H. Watklns, at her
home, on Monroe avenue, for her guest,
Miss iDowns, of Germantown. Tho
affair was very Informal, Those pres
ent Included young people, married and
single. The popular Hollowe'en games
were played.
The third annual social of Columbus
Council, Young Men's Institute, of the
