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."

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.

This meant a (treat deal to Mr. Barrett, as Mr. Booth was playing an engagement nt another house here at the same time."

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 South Side, was held nt J. Frank Slegel's dancing academy last night.
