It Won for Them Re-Elcctlons to the Ofllces of City nnd County Superintendent of Schools Last Tuesday Some of tho New Ideas They Introduced M. J. Walsh foi President of the Diocesan Union of Scranton Giand Recorder Geoige H. Plcice, of the Knights of Malta. Piofessor GeoiKc Howell, who last Tuesday wus accorded the honor of a unanimous re-election to tho ofllco of city superintendent of schools, lias made nn Ideal lit ad for the clty'n public school system and his ic-elec-tlon was a, ptopor ti Unite to his olllc lency. Piofessor Howell Is an enthus lst in the cause of education, nn en thusiast In the best and real ense tf that much abused wold Ho has the rnie faculty also of mousing the in terest and enthusiasm of those whn are lusoclntcd with or me subordinate to him. Tho value of this iiuallty only those who have had occasion to close ly study the school system of tho olty and its needs can fully appreciate. Since Professor Howell has been sup erintendent a number of innovations have been introduced by him aside fiom doing a. largo amount of good In the way of systematizing school work genetally. One of his innovations was the inttoductlon of a utilfoim couise of study The syllabus was pteparcd by him to meet the spocl.it needs of the schools of this city. One of tho benefits of ihls system is this: A pupil can leave a school In Noith Scianton and ciiier one In South Sciunton nnd llnd no difference whatever in the course of study. He will li.id the class In South Scranton ptactlcnlly nt the same point the one he left in North Sctanton had reached. No tlmo Is lost by the pupil. Tills Is of great ad vantage to ch'ldien whose patents move from one part of the city to another dining the couise of a term. Another Innovation that Is tho result of Piotcssor Howell's wise direction of the schools Is the banking system. AVhen Hi st suggested the Idea cieated no little amusement nnd poisons wete not wanting who said It would never bo a success, that In fact It was not feasible. They were bad prophets. Not only lias the Idea proved entirely feas ible, but It is the biggest kind of a success. Tho pupils of the city schools have now In the banks almost $10,000 they saved dining the short time the system has been In operation. By tho close of the present school year Super intendent Howell hopes to be able to buy for the pupils $10,000 worth of the bonds of the Scranton school district, which pay 4 per cent Interest. Within ten years Superintendent Howell Is confident all the bonds Is sued by the school district will bo owned by the school children of the city, and will have been pui chased with the money saved by means of the school banking sjstem. This Ir one of the most prnctlc.il steps townd securing the beneilts of higher educa tion for the masses ever taken In this city. The school bank account will pave the way for hundieds of children to a college or university eoutse after the pupil has been gi actuated from tho high school. More than this It gives the young minds nn idea of the aluo of money nnd encoutages habits of thrift that will cling to them In after yeais when they have engaged In the real conflict of the battle of life. Professor J. K. Taylor was re-elected supeilntendent of countv schools Tuesday, llo has tilled the office wit.i great elllclencv for the Inst six ve.it0. and his ro-electlon is a just tecognl tlon of his valuable services foi tho Improvement of the schools ot tho county. He had opposition Tuesday, but he easily vanquished those who contested with him for the honor. Pio fissor Taylor's six years of haul woik foi the Improvement of the county schools won for him the high regard of a large percentage of the dltectots nnu mado his election a certnlnt Duilng the peiiod Superintendent Tujlor has been in ofllco he has lntio duced new Ideas that have brought the county schools to the highest degico of usefulness they have yet attained A uniform course of study has been introduced, the gtaded system em ployed so tar as possible, county ex aminations for pupils established and many other Innovations Introduced with a view to giving the pupil In th sparsely settled country dlstilct o tar ns possible the same advantages as his moi e favoied bi other In the city. There has been a distinct impiovement In tho teaclieis, too. This was seemed by local Institutes, and the mapping out of .i couise of study foi teachei hold ing provisional coitltlcates which was followed by an examination to deter mine tholi fitness for a ptofesslonal ceitiflcate. Tills course of study and subsequent examinations have shown many teaclieis In just what they were deficient and has Induced them to take the normal school couise. Theie are now moie men and women teaching In tho county schools who have had a thorough pieparation for their wink than ever before. Better woik and better lesults naturally follow.

To those who ate not Knights tho following condensed history of the or der may be of Interest nt this time. In the May number of the Century magazine, F Mai Inn Crawford, In his new novel ". Cruel," pays "at this time wns formed the Older of St. John's Hospitalers, which exists even to this day and now known as tho Knights of Malta." The history of the Crusaders and Knights of St. John of Jeiusalem has been written bv many learned and able historians of the past sK hundred years, the number of such writings being over one hundied, and published In several languages. The history is that of a fraternity of hospitalers which afterwaids became a military society, and nt last a. sovereign order, Instituted from motives of charity, and prompted by a zeal for the defense of the Holy Land to take up atms ngatnst th infidels nn order which, amid tho noise and clashing of swords, nnd with a contlnunl war upon Its hands, was capable of Joining tho peaceful lr tucs of religion with the most distin guished courage on the field. OPENED A HOSPITAL. In 101S the society ot St. John tho Almoner opened a hospital In Jerusa lem, near the Holv Sepulchre. From this point three divisions begin, re spectively. Knights of St. John, Rhodes and Mnlta. With the latter wo have to deal They get their title fiom tho fact that in 1330 Chnrles V. of Ger many presented the order with tho Isle of Maltu, which has since continuously remained In their possession nnd over which floats the banner of the ciosg of St. John. The order Is iciy strong in this city and county. The first commandcry of the order Instituted was Electric City commandery. No 177 On Nov.

Following is a summary of the piin ciples of the order In general "The Older of Knights of Malta Is a body of men banded togethei, under most binding forms, to comfort one another In th practice of the Christian icliglon, to offi'f mutual assistance in the time of ned to promote Piotest iint unity, to defend the Protestant faith against all foes whatsoever, to defend civil and religious liberty; to exeiclse the fullest tolctatlon and ihiuity toward all men; to piaetlce benevolence, and to maintain a uni versal Piotest.int fiaternity "It Is neither a national, politlcil nor sectailan association. It Is tho most ancient knightly order In exist ence, and is the legitimate descendant of the illustrious, icllglous and mili tary order of the middle ages, heir to Its greatness and fully endowed with nil Its ancient rites and ceremonies It Is fraternal, and its obligations bir.d to secieey und mutual protection. It Is milltuty. but drilling and uniform ing are optional. It Is a religious cr dcr, and welcomes all Pmtes'nnM, oy whatever name known, who love our Lord Jesus Christ, to enlist und"r Its banner.
