2' THE SORAINTON THIBUNE-MOSXAY. AUGUST 29, 1898. GLANCE AT THE . MAYFIELD SCHOOLS IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS CON CERNING THE SYSTEM. Peoplo of That Community Are Awakening to the Needs of Their Children Policy of the Board of School Controllers Improvements That Have Recently Been Made. Special to the Scranton Tribune. MayflcUl, Aug. 28. Tomorrow our schools open and tho long vacation is at an end. This vacation lias brought more work for teachers and directors than previous ones. There are many reasons for these additional labors. The people of this community are awakening to the needs of their chil dren. They demand the best training, tha best discipline, and the most mod ern text books. These demands are not peculiar to this community; they nro now found In every well regulated town. They are simply In keeping with the universal law of progress. Moreover they are more easily made than filled, It Is true of every line of business nnd particularly true of school worlc Keenly alive lo the pressing needs of the situation, the Muyllelrt directors decided that they would employ, when ever possible, only the highest gride of teachers to keep themselves In touch with the wants of the hour by pursuing a cournc nf professional reading of the very highest order. The tontrollors have planned a course of study well calculated lo re duce the time to be spent nt the nor mal schools to n minimum. Many peo ple of smnll means are thereby enabled to have most of the teaching done here. While the diploma, after but lit tle additional work, Is granted by higher Institutions. Pitch Is commend able In every respect. Our school, therefore. Is shown able to do a high grade of work and, nt the same time, Is a means of economy to many. On the other hand It has been the outspoken policy of the board to letaln nil Its old te.Khers, when such Is pos sible, and when good work Is done. It Is also their policy to discountenance the employment of teachers who have provisional certificates. While some have been and are now hired, the opin ion Is that tne day Is not far distant when only a permanent certificate or a normal dlsplonm will be considered. They mean to conduct this branch as all other depirtments on strictly bus iness principles. The best qualifica tions must be presented for the money paid. No other business was ever a surcpss when otherwise conducted. The work done during the past year, generally speaking, is most commend able, and It would be to every one's Interest to take a peek Into the build ing while school Is In session. Patrons then could see what they now only hear of. It would be encouraging to your children and to the tenehers In charge. If parents wire so little, who should care moi-' It is a thankless task to be a dlroe. when you do not pee parents taking even a momentary Interest In what is costing days and weeks of time, labor and nnxiety. DUTY OF-A DIRECTOR. A school director who docs his real duty does not do It perfunctorily, but does It with a zest, a spirit, a deter mination, and nil thinking, observing people so speak. Now. parents, can you not do as much for your own chil dren as n stranger, an outsider? Speaking of Improvements, let It be salj that the people of, this borough have a school bouse which is not ex celled in this or any other county, nnd has hut two or three equals in this county. You have the most modern, tho most Improved, the very best sys tem of heating and ventilation that Is within the power of money to pur chase or the Ingenuity of man to In vent. The first cost has been more than that of many other systems, but tho expense ot operating It and main taining It has been and Is the mini mum. A twelve horso-power engine, a fan capable of handling 12,000 cubic feet ot nlr per minute, and a system of steam pipes that will heat that same air, together with the flues for con ducting the air to the rooms and from them to the outside, briefly describes the plant. Every child is guaranteed 20 cubic feet of pure air per minute. That is the result or actual tests made, and Is In keeping with tho demands made by all hvgenlc conditions. Throughout tho building the same temperature prevails, and every effort has been and will be made to care for the health of every child. Th board has recently coated the tloors of the building with a dustless oil, so that all dirt or dust may remain on the floors until removed, the air Is not filled with the nauseating particles of flying dust. In fact, there are n hundred little conveniences that are provided for, nnd are all secured for the comfort, the convenience and education of the child It is the purrose of the board to make the school a pleasant nnd enjoyable place. While all these things cost money, they nre real necessities, and tho child who can see nnd enloy a green lawn, the shade of trees, a iilee play room, the best books both for study and recreation, ennnot fall to be Greatly Influenced thereby, THE TEXT HOOKS. Antlquuted text books this year were discarded, and ones constructed nlong the lines laid down by the government exports were adopted. Of course, there are many who won der why no graduates have been turned out during the last four years. A school's success Is never measured by the number of Its graduates, but. by the standing, by the woik done by Its pupils. This school was placed upon a sound basis three years ago. Before graduates can be turned out, there must be pupils or students prepared to pass the necessary examinations. Such have not been found, and. until such do exist. It is folly to ask the question, "Where arc the graduates?" To regrade a school, to fashion a good course of study, to secure tho best teachers, to provide the most mod em text books, and the most natural conveniences, has been the work of the lust few years. The promotions made last year throughout tho schools will see a. grad uating class next June. There Is some thing jnore than boolt knowledge nec essary' for graduation; though power la the prime necessity. With respect to tho expenditure of tlpj money collected, there Is not u con Herv.itlve business house In this whole community that more curcfuliy guardH Its funds, and makes closer and better cellmates for nil things to be pur I'has'd. Citizens, everything connect ed with the school system of this bo rough Is opcii for your Inspection, and It Is your duty to Inspect. Attention Is culled to the law regard ing the vaccination of school children. All children heretofore not successfully vaccinated must be vaccinated, and a physician's certificate, stating that the same has been done successfully, must be presented before admittance to tho schools will be granted. " OLYPHANT. The contract for tho construction of a sewer through the central portion of the town was awarded to Flannlgan nnd O llara, of Scranton, ut Saturday night's meeting of the council.

Tho bears mani fested considerable confidence that a re action In tho prices of stocks was duo today and they sold at tho opening ad vance and carried prices at one time ma terially below last night's close. They had un their sldo n disposition by many holders to lako profit. Hut tho demand was so considerable as to absorb all of ferings nt tho decline and tho bears were forced to cover quite heavily, lifting prices sharply above the lowest and in many cases above last night. The drop In Sugar nt tho opening was an unset tling factor nnd a determined drive against People's Gas firmly knocked off 4 from the. price of that stock. It was evi dent ulso that thcro was an abundant supply of stock of tho Grangers and of Northern Pacific to be had on any con siderable advance In ptices. A number of prominent stocks showed vigorous resist anco to tho declining market nnd wero potent factors In effecting the rally. Most conspicuous wero tho Union Pacific. Tho common rose 1 on tho opening demand and sold down nearly a point on tho re action, Tho preferred stock was firm above last night's figures. Tho closing was somewhat Irregular, some stocks showing effects of renewed buying while others Mirrored from continued profit taking. Total salts, 2S7.000 shares.
