PLI3ASING JtHCITATION A pleasing reeitutlon by MNs Coia M Grlllln was warmly encored, but h o declined to respond, much to tho c reappointment of her dellsiiled nudl 1 r.. The temalnliiK eenlses weie nd dresses by Piofet-sor (Seoij;o W. hll lips, principal of the high school, and Dr. N, G. l)rumh.iut;li. Professor 1'lillllpH was tendered a veritable ovation when his name was announced. When the applause had subsided, and he had p.tcefully bowed his acknowledgment, lie stated that he would not muke an address as he had expected to do, for tho reason that lie found himself placed on a pro gramme that contained double tho usual musical numbers, and if ho spoke at length, he would have to ties-pass on tho time of Dr Hrumbaugh and that ,1o felt would not have a tendency to make him popular with the teachers. Briefly, ho touched on a few phases of the question assigned to him, "Ad vantages of a High .School Education." Kulllclent answer, ho paid, was found to the question, "What is tho advant uge of a high school '.'" In a glance at the men who have received their learn ing in the Scranton high school sena tors, ippiesentatlves, edltois, lawyers, and men in all tho higher walks of .lire. Refeiilng to the pupils who had just left the stage, he said that. If tho Sctan ton high school could turn out each year a class as large as that, it would icvol utlonlzo the city, and If eveiy high school in the union tould do likewise, it would revolutionise the country. Parapluaslng Lincoln's woids, he said that this Is a government of the masses, for the masses and by the masses. In times like these the masses need tialned men and the high school, the peoples college, Is the channel tlnough which the masses are l cached. Enthusiasm In our high schools, ho said in closing, would accomplish tho gicatest good for our country. HISTORICAL, PENNSYLVANIA Dr. Brumbaugh had "Historical Pennsylvania" for Ills final lecture. As Is his wont, he said bomethlng and, as those who have heard him will be ready to testify, he said it well. The burden of his argument was that Pennsylvania has been shabbily Heat ed b the historians. New England heroes are almost deiled while equally greater and of times greater heroes of Pennnjlvanla, are not even known of In their own state. There was a Pennslnnla tea party thirty days before the Boston meeting was held Under the leadership of Wil liam Bradford, the patilot printer of Philadelphia, 8,000 men of the Key stone state passed resolutions declar ing against tris. on tea and sent a com mittee, undisguised and in broad day light, boarded the tea ship "Poll" coming up tho Delaware and ordeied Its commander, Captain Aeis, to turn back to England. Ho was given tho alternative of tleelng as he was or with the uid of wings, made lrom wild goose feathers fastened on with tar. He IIpw as he was. Theie was a general laugh when the lecturer asked: "Did any of ou ever hear tell of Paul Revere?" An e.ptct nnt silent o reigned when ho Inquired If any of them hud ever heaul of Caesar Rodney. Vet Rodney was by right he said, the rider-hero of tho revolution. Ho was a member of col onial congress from Delaware, then a province of Pennsylvania. July 1, I77G, Franklin and his pro-declaration friends found that the two Delavvaie delegates present weio divided and that It would requhe tho vote of the third to throw the state in line for tho dec laration of independence. Tho third was Rodney. He was at his home In Delaware, suffering from a cancer in the face, which three ears later eat his life away. SECURED A DELAY Harrison, who had tho independence resolution In hand, secured a delay lir Its consideration, A messenger was sent with all haste to Delawaio for nodne The congress was to tako up the declaration nt 10 o'clock on tho morning of tho iouith. It was tho morning of the third when the mes senger reached Rodney. Without a tlDught of the pain that camu from hla terrible adllctlon In such a hard ship ho mounted a trusty horse and set off for Philadelphia, eighty-nine miles distant. All day and nil night he lode, being out of tho saddle only long en ough to diango horses and fat, and at twenty minutes after ten. the anxious watchers at the door of tho state house rushed into Independence square to help an exhausted dust-envered man from a panting, foaming horse The resolution was presented, Delaware's needel vote was for It, and the declaia tlon of Independence nan that day promulgated. Peter Miller, of Effreta, Lancaster county, who translated the declutatlon Into the court languages of Europe; William Teriuant, who founded In i Bucks county the first school of di vinity the United States knew; Christo pher Hauer, of aermantown, who print ed tho first Blblo to bo published In America; David Rlttenhouse, of Noi rlstown, who made tha llrst accurate calculation of tho sun's distance from the earth nt the time of the transit of Venus In 17C9, and Andrew Elll cott, whom Spain accepted as a com missioner to IK the disputed boundary between Georgia uml Florida, were cit ed as a few of the characters who deserved a place In history, but who unfortunately In this regard vveie Pennsvjvanlnns. Ho asked the teachers to acquaint themselves with the history of ho proud, old Keystone state, and while tho text books tell tho pupils or the glories of New England, supplement the stories of their valor with some thing of the valor and achievements of Pennsylvaulntis own heroes. EVENING LECTURE. In the (veiling was heard a blilllnnt Cuban lecture by Colonel George Nox McCain, the same that was delivered by him duilng the Penn Avenue Bap tist church lecture couise In the early part of the winter. Colonel McCain, as cot respondent of the Philadelphia Pies, spent many years In travel and historical research, devoting the larg est share of his attention to South American countries. The present In terest In Cuban affairs caused him to give particular attention to a study of tho history of that beautiful but un happy Isle n ml as a reiult he- has evolved a most Interesting story which, when presented as Colonel McCain can present a subject, makes indeed a rate treat. Tho audience tilled the hall to over flowing and was at all times, as may be imagined from a consideration of tho lecture and the lecturei, u most at tentive one. Most Interesting Indeed were the de scriptions by btfieoptlcon and vivid wot il painting of tho places In Cuba now ns familiar to us as Is our own country, nnd of men, like Garcia, Maceo, Gomez, whose names aio almost as much household words ns those of our ow n national heroes. A plctuie of the Maine evoked tumul tuous applause, and shortly nftutwards, when the Hotel Jnglatprra was thrown on the c.u ..si (lnj mentioned as tho stopping place of General FItzhugh Lee, there was another outburst of tho most enthusiastic cheering. It was a lecture that can not be but of great help to the teachers. MRS. CONNELL CHEERED. She Unconsciously Ployed a Part in the I.ee lleiuonitraliiMi. Mis. William Connoll was a patriot ic part of the ovation given General Lee at the Shoreham in Wishlngton Tues dav evening. A special dispatch to tho Ntw Yoik Journal mentions n, ser ies of incidents ns follows: "At 9 SO o'clock the rancuilll band played a spirited overture, which brought General Leo to the window. Mts. Council, whose apartments were kindly donated for the occasion, pro duced a laigo American fUg, and as sho appealed to adorn the balcony she was warmly cheeied. "As Gcneial Lee camo into view and took his pluce In the balcony handker chiefs and hats were thrown Into the air, the Alarine band plived 'The Star Spangled Banner,' lockets were touch ed eff, bombs wore exploded anu crowds Indulged In ear-splitting huz zas and cries of 'Lee!' which lasted ful ly five minutes. "This v.as but a. faint demonstration to that which followed ns tho band played 'Dixie,' and tho hurnhs might easily have been heard at tho capltol, while the Confederate veterans tool: no treble pait in the dmonsttatlon and noise." V. fll. I. MEN ENROLLING. Supremo Council Akn lor le Names ol oliimcnrR. At a meeting of John Boyle O'Reilly council ot the Young Men's Institute at Its rooms on Lackawanna avenue, Tuesdnj night, a communication was lead from the headquatters of the order announcing that the supreme council was calling on each subordinate coun cil to send a list of members who would be willing to volunteer their services to the government in the Impending war with Spain. There was a lengthy discussion, after which It was resolved that It was the sentiment of tho society that inasmuch as every member, on joining tho or ganization, took nn oath to support the Hag of the nation, tho council in a body should otter its sen vices to the government and that the secretary should be instructed to send as a re sponse to the communication of the supreme council the entire membership list of the John Movie O'Reilly council Nn dellnlte action was token further than to submit the mattei to the mem bers and move to have It considered Jointly by the different councils of the city and vicinity. Rev. J. J. B. Foeley, spiritual director of the council, was present and made a speech, dining which he said that If the council went to the front its spirit ual director would be Its chaplain.

AFTEUNOON SESSION. The afternoon session of the super intendents opened ut 2 o'clock and closed at 4.30. Tho loading topics dis cussed were examination of teacheis, teachers' ceititlcates, professional reading, teacher Institutes, teachers' summer schools and normal si hools. Some conclusions reached In these 'discussions with practical unanimity arc as follows: First That teacheis should not con tinue to teach through a long sorle of jears on tl.u lowest grade certlllcale, but should advance from jear to jear by pri vate stndj until they teach the profes sional and lln illy the permanent certifi cate, and tint the provisional e.crliflcato should bo limited by lnw to thico or lUo j e ars. hecotid That tho professional ccrtill cato (good for threu eais) should lo granted onlj to teacheis who have ac qulicd skill In tho art of teaching and who have made a ciieful study ot tho hlstrnv of education, school management, methods ol teaching, and some academics branches, such as algebra, oU govern ment, rhctoilo and general hlstor.v. Third That tho county Instltuto has been a leading factor In educational prog ress in Pcmrsvlviinla, nnd furnished an excellent opportunity for Improvement to all teachers who wish to ndvanco in pio fcsslonal knowledge. Four th That summer schools for teach ers giving them a. chance to review their studies and add to thulr store ot knowl edge are an Impoitnnt aid and bhould be liberally p itronlzcd. rirth That profe ssional or normal school training for those who are pie paring to tc.ieh Is very desirable and should be encouraged STANDARD SHOULD BE RAISED. That the stand ird ot graduation In nor mal schools should bo rah eel, nnd the normal school dlplom i should be granted only to those whoso knowledso of tho siiblects and fitness for teaching aio such as to command tho lespect of tho com munities w hero thev may teach. Tho superintendents expressed tho belief that teacheis In the live coun ties represented arj most deficient In their knowledge of arithmetic, gram mar, history and spelling, and that the chief fault in these schools is the tendency to memorizing and mechani cal teaching without developing in tho pupils the power to think.
