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.

adjourned at 11 a. tit. to visit tho city
Institute, where tho supeilntendents
listened to nn earnest plea for higher
education by that learned and eloquent
Dr. Martin Brumbaugh.
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.
