The new shaft for the soldiers' monument
was placed in position Saturday by com
rades of K. P. Cummin- Post, G. A. R. Tbe
present shaft is believed to contain the name
of every soldier from this county who fell
ia battle or dW-i of disease while in the ser
vice of the Fnion. The original monument
detained the names of on!y about one-half
of the county dead heroes. The mistake
occurred throusb friends of the dead failing
to famish the names to the proper com
mittee. A party of seven State aireots, representing
a large number of tire insurance companies
having risks ia this county, met with the lo
cal county agents at the Park H-tel, Thurs
day, for the purple of adopting a uniform
county rats lor future risks. The new rate
adopted w-U not go into rSed before the 1st
of January, at wha.a time it is intimated
there will be a oonaideraole increase on k1
fire insurance riata. A rumor is aioat that
a number of the most reliable Compaq
have decided to cancel ad policies in uwns
unprovided with fire protection. Ws do not
believe that ail of the compaaie will taa
this step, altboua one or two companies
bave canceled their p Nicies in this place.

A decision of considerable interest was
Landed down by the Supreme Court at
Pittsburgh, last Wednesday. The case was
an appeal from the decree of the O-p bans'
Coart of Somerset county, which bad con
firmed the auditor's report ia the distribution
of tLe estate of Samuel P. M iller, deceased, a
resilient of Summit township.
Samuel P. Miller died in February, 1SS,
leaving a widow, and a number of children
and grandchildren. In lv6 he made hi
last will and testament, in which Le says.
rr oUn, " I will and bequeath to my
daughter Barbara's son, Albert, (qua! shares
of my estate, real and personal, with my
other children, after the amount given his
mother is deducted ; bat if said Albert
should die before be Las any heirs, then his
share shall revert back among my other
heirs."
Tbe executors appointed in the will tiled
an account, showing s balance in their hands
of $1-1,1-t 5t; for distribution. The account
was confirmed and an aud.tor was appointed
to make a distribution, and the auditor held
that the share of Albert, the son of Barbara,
ho died on married and without children,
went to bis father.
Counsel for tbe esLite filed exceptions
to tbe auditor's report, claiming that the
share of Albert, be dying without any heirs.
that the word heirs meant children! should
go to the other children of the lertator.
The Scprvnie Court reversed the decree at
the cost of the appellees.

Teachers Institute.
(Ci.uf ,-a fUM Pape )
introduced and read the report of tbe meet
ings of the Krectors, which will be found
elsewhere in this paper.
Supt. Berkey, after addressing the Insti
tute a few minotes. had tbe following names
announced as members of the Committee
on Permanent CtrtiScates: J. E. Speicher,
E. E. Pritts, C. F. Livecgood, C E. DicVey
and E'la K. Voge!.
Thursday morning's session opened with
teachers' work under lead of E. E. Dickey.
Miss Lottie Kriseinger read a paper on "A
Good School." W. H. Kretchaian, Wm.
Reed, E. E. Dickey, J. D. Mccse and Supt
Berkey discussed 'The use and abuse of
text-books, both ia primary and advanred
schools." Prof. Meese resumed his talk on
Drawing. ARer topical talk by W. H. Mar
tin and others on '-Character Building," an
intermission was taken.
The getiersJ work of tbe Institute was then
opened by reading from the Scriptures and
prayer by Pr. Schsffer. Sopt. Berkey, his
face wreathed in sm-les, said that he was
happy to announce that every teacher in
Somerset county but 3 were now present at
the Institute, and two of these three were
accounted for. This is most creditable io
the Superintendent as well as the teachers.
Prof. Ben net, of Johnstown, waa intro
duce 1, and after saying be had heard much
of tie teachers of Somerset county, proceed
ed to talk about Drawing. He said drawing
was the education of the eye and hand. He
illustrated the free, easy motion the hand
should have in drawing. With an educated
brain, a skilled hand and eye, drawing will
be a sarcess. Tbe imazinatioo also must t
developed. Without imagination, like mon
keys, we can only imitate. Prof. B. then
talked of drawing in straight lines, broken
lines and curved lines, illu;ratic- with
sticks and diagrams. The eye most be
trained to measure distance and observe
proportion. Thing" must not be drawn as
we know tht m, but as we see them as they
look to the eye. He insists that drawing
gives habits of neatness and is a great aid ia
learning to write. Many models in wood,
plaster and paper were shown.
Just here for a tew minutes the Institute
was turned into a barnyard, or something
like it, by tbe singing of the song "My
Grandfather," into which all the grunts,
quacks and barks of the animal creation are
introduced.
Dr. Schaffer then gave the Institute a talk
on rivers. He followed the drop of ws:.-r
from the cioud to it place in the river: then
told bow a glacier supplied the river Rhine

How children should be taught to talk,
read and write, was the subject of aa ad
dress by Frof. Brumbaugh. The Professor
thinks children are restrained too much ; let
them talk ; let them talk even in school
sometime ; don l put a cur, in me Dot i.e.
It ia a child nature to talk, 115 much as it is
to eaL The eye of the child can be reached j
ia teaching language to children through j
words, sentences and maxims written ; tue
ear, by reading to or tciiing tbe child stones
which he can write out. Children should be
made write aboul objects that are shown
and described to tbem. Prof. B. illustrated
the method by holding up an alligator scale
and giving a long history of iL
The afternoon session was opened by Ptr.f.
Stephens, of the Mt. Pleasant Institute, and
bis address on Education in America was
an exceedingly interesting one. He said
the man who allows his youth to slip by
without securing an education makes a mis
take that is almost irrejrabie in after life.
Thousands of middle-aged people ia this
country made that mistake, and will always
have cause to regret it. There sre 1 ...jW, u
children of school age in tbe L'niti-4 States.
l.M','.iuO of these are ia Pennsylvania, and
the State has appropriated $ each to edu
cate them. By a diagram Frof. Stephens
attempted to illustrate the number of pupils 1
ia the common schools and the number in
higher institutions of leamic. The space
devoted to tbe latter was so small as to be
almost invisible. He then gave a very clear
definition of the various kinds of higher
schools the academy, seminary, parochial
school, the college and tbe university. He
said the highest of these, except the univer
sity, which i intended fur specialties, are
schools of drill and routine. He likened
oar colleges to the German Gymnasium.
He hooted at the idea that college-bred
young men wore not fit for the highest com
mercial pursuit, Andrew Carnegie to tbe
contrary. He said that Pratt, tbe oil mil
lionaire, said that every responsible position
in his vast business was under control of a
college graduate. He was in favor of com
bining industrial with mental training.
Some very uccessful men have been trained
outside of college, but every man ia the
higher profession who has not bad a college
training is handicapped to some extecL As
to choosing a college, he said, select the or.e
with the largest endowment, for there you
get the most for your money.
Prof. Brumbaugh had halted in his Jour
ney Around the World, the day before, at
the Red Sea. He now resumed it at that
point, and passed on to the great coffee dis
trict of Araoia, and crossing the Indian
Ocean toCal-rutta, in India, he went to Sin- !
gapore, near the equator; around the isth
mus and on up to China, Ja 1 -an, tbe Sand
wich Islands, San Francisco and Somerset
to Sew York, the joint of starting. A
hotter trip was then taken through that
wonderful land of Siberia to Novgorod and
St. Petersburg, and on to IWUa and j
Pari. j
Prof. Bennett, of Johnstown, now re- j
sumed his talk on Drawing. He illustrated
the making of curv.-s and ovals on the
blackboard. Wire was a good model to j
use ia making curves. As to the circle, it
could only be made accurately with an in- j
strument The oval, the double oval and
the Pop combined were illustrated, and j
their combinations as used ia writing
shown. Tbe capital letters are only cni
binatiocs of ovals and loops. All writing
is only straight and carved lines in combi
nation. The elbow is to be used as the joint
of rest in making curves. A utraight line
model, as a cube, baa in it all the lines of aa
ordinary bouse. After straight line work ia
drawing, comes curves. White models
should lie used to Wacb sbsdmg, as only
these show the shadow dearly. Draw ob
ject! as yoa tee them, not as yoa know they
are ; this is perspective.
Dr. Schaifcr, a man of braics. thea tali-d
of the brain. He said you must build the
brain, just as yoa build a bouse ; but don't
make any mis-akes, for ia brain-building
yoa can't go back and make corrections. If
a doctor made a mistake be could bury it ;
if a lawyer made one be could bang it ; but
the teacher who spoiled a brain was dis
graced and the child rained. The idiot and
the dude had light-weight brains. Wcman s
brain averaged five ounces lighter than
man's ; bat there is sach a thing a quality '
as well as quantity. The doctor then showed
bow recent experiments had demonstrated
that each Eaculty had its appropriate loca
tion in the brain. Much of this was learned
from vivisection. Now epilepsy, paralysis
and other diseases are cn red by an operation
on 1 be brain.
At s a. m. Friday the last session of the

paper on the Chart Class. Supt. Berkey
answered the query. Should teachers be pa.d
fur attendance on tbe Institute? by ylng
that the law made no provision jt such pav.
Prof. Brumbaugh then put the qu- y. Is
there any lyreffl of rainfall ia thel".. ted
S-ates? and it was answered in the negative.
Dr. fchaffer then pat the query, Dos the
farmer belong to the lower class? The
answer was the fact that be was a farmer

The Committee on Music reported cum

The committee on resolutions submitted
its report through the chairman. Mr. C. E.
IKckey.
Ia substance the resolutions, (li recognlx

spproved of holding the County Institute
before the holiday season; (Si expressed af
fectionate memorial of Prof. Replogle, late
principal of Mt-yersdala schools.
The report was unanimously a.lopted.
Although Dr. Sctaffi-r did not announce

and how to find it. If a man preserves 'bis
dignity, integrity and self respect, he is a

The legend calls this giant St Cbnstother.
Every teacher can be a St. Christopher.
The report of books sold to teachers by
the Educational Committee was then read.
For his farewell address, Prof. Brumbaugh
selected Discipline as a subject. To disci
pline is to govern, to direct. First, then
you must awaken the powers of the child ;
and second, yoa must direct tbem ; and this
is where the teachers great responsibility
conies. Vaotin, he aaid. " education either
form a maa or enchains a devil."' Knowl
trli is power, but it is power !br evil as well
as good ; look out which way yoa direct it.

aked. When is a man educated? and an
swered, when he is able to do well one sin
gle thing. What a maa knows is not the
test, but what he djes. Prof. Brumbaugh,
seamed reluctant to say gocd bye to the
friends with whom he had made such a
pleasant acquaintance during the last live
days.- But the hour had come and with r
heartfelt farewell he made his ."inal bow.
Short speeches for the remaining minutes
before 12 M., were thea in order.
Prof. Speicher, in a few words, approved
the change of time in holding the institute.
Whea called on lor a speech, Prof. Spren
ke!, who has bad charge of the music, made
bis by sinking very feelingly, " Forgive and
ForxeL"
Prof. Meese made a speech of encourage
ment to the teachers.
Someone represeut-nj the citizens of Som
erset mm called on for a speech, and Rev.
Harfcey responded by praising and congrat
ulating the teachers.
Properly, Supt. It.-rkey made the last
speech, in which be 9uraaied up his high
opinions of teachers and institute.
-God be with yoa till we meet agaia,"
was tbea sung, and with a benediction by
Ilev. Harkey, the Institute djourat.-i.

Dr. A. A. Willits. whose reputation as a
lecturer is ai wide as tbe continent, on last
Tuesday evening, in connection with the en
tertainments, supplied for tbe Teachers' In
stitute, delivered a lecture on "The Model
Wife." Dr. Wil'its lectured here some ten
years ?o on u Sunshine," and his audience
was delighted- It was dei'ghled again on
Tuesday evening, but protably, al.-o, just a
little bit disappointed. Dr. Willits is get
ting old. We don't know his age, but be
nrist be in the seventies. His lecture was
fail of magnificent bursts cf eloquence, as
well as quiet wnslble advice.
We must not omit to mention, ia connec
tion with the lecture, the soio of Prof.
Spreckei, "The March of the Woods.-' and
tbe song " Doboiink." with "swinging in
ihe Grapevine Swing" for a recall, by Som
erset's favorite song bird. Miss Mamie Chi.
On last Wednesday evening the Ariel
Thomas Company gave, as one of the series
of Institute entertainments, a Concert in the
Opera House. The program of instrumen
tal and vocal music, together with the hu
morism of John Thomai, was none too long.
The quarteiie is aa exceptionally gKsl one,
and although they were handicapped with
what we considered rather poor selections,
the audience would have cb.erfui!y llsned
aa hocr longer, of Mr. Thomas' special
part ia the program we have little to say ex
cept that we think it was a little overdrawn.
But the audience as a whole was pleased and
the Concert wis considered among the best
ever heard here.
Rev. Th&oiaa Dixon ia a lecturer hereto
fore unknown in Ibis vicinity. He was en
gaged by Supt. lJerkey to deliver a lecture
011 last Thursday night at the U.iera Uou-e.
llis subject as " Backbone," and he pro
ceeded 10 show how men of backbone were
the men who succeeded. He waa most elo
quent in occasional passages, but he drop
ped so abruptly from ihe sublime to the le-d-culous
a to sumewLat mar bis perform
ance. But with ail thai the audience teem
ed to Lang 03 every word. Hi is one of the
class of lecturers from whom every moment
yoa exrct a surprise, aad you are forced to
fallow bira.
Without any disposition to dispense " taf
fy," we can say with the utmost candor that
the Teachers' Institute, whose sessions were
held last week in tbe Court House, was from
every point of view the most successful in
the thirty-live jears of their institution.
For this we are largely indebted to the un
tiring efforts of Prof. Iteikey, the County
SuperintendenL He spent about sixteen
hours of each of the five days of the session
in unwearied, watchful Lard work, to say
nothing of the preparatory Iabr involved.
A man may do everything and yet fault-finders
are to be expected, but we have heard
of none in this case.
To aa bservar.t person there has been a
wonderful change ia the appearance, man
ners and general make-up of tbe Teachers of
Somerset county. Ten or fifteen years ago
wben a teacher was called up in the insti
tute to spetk he was diffident aad embar
rassed ; be stood Hit oc one leg thea on the
other, and talked in a hrsitatiog, schoolboy
isb manner. To day moat of them can
eiand up erect, face thvir audience, and de
liver their thoughts in a mauly way, and in
good English.
Tre enly objection we can find to last
week's Teachers Institute is the unimport
ant part the female teachers tee -a. Except
for set performances, so Ut as we know not
one of them opened her mouth, unless it
was to do a little whispering ,Qj that is al
ways pardonable in the sex. Thla ! not
right. Girls can talk on ail other occasion.
W tiers they have so much at stake they
ought to bsvs their say. and at tbe next Ia
alitnie we want to see ttem have it.
Ttacf.ers' Institutes have not only helped
tbe teschers intellectua ly, bet perscna.-'y as
weli. As a cliss the leathers w uo assembled
here last wesk, were aa well drrswi, as easy
In manner, expression and can-age, on the
street and elsewhere, as the sains caxber c'
people assembled ssr wii cn a similar occasion.
There are people whose thoughts succeed
each other so rapidly thai they almost ehok
their utterance. Dr. Winship. cf L-osioa.
who talked befre the Institute las week, is
one of this kind. He thicks rapidly
that his toe gue can not cU i.ser his aords
fast enough. He said that this came from
his acx.ety to say a great deal in hide time.
Tbe short-band reporter who undertook to
repott him verbaium would have a Bappy
time of u.
We feeJ that we shocld have allowed a du
ty to pas undone had we failed so commend
Superintendent Berkev 's good judgement ia
he selection of instructors tor the late
Teachers' Insiitute. Dr. Winahip, of Bos
ton, who unfortunately was able to spend
only two days here, is a man who is rowa
as an ed orator from Maine to California. If
the teachers assembled here last week failed
to improve tte opportunity his lectures af
forded them of absorbing a part of the theo
retical and practical knowledge of teaching
possessed by this man, it will be a source of
life-locg regret to them.
Dr. W. C. Schaffcr has a reputation for
doep learning which is more than State-wide
He shows the scholar ia every lineament of
hi face. Ia psychology and the higher sci
ence, both mental and physloa!, he has lew
supcricrs anywhere. He bas devoted his
wtole life to teaching, and what h don't
know about it is probably not worth knowing-
Prof. Brumbaugh is a youn; man and full
of the Ere and enlhcsiaam that belongs to
that period. Ia teaching be bas sounded
tbe very depths. He bas been pupil, teacher
of common aad high schools, superintend
ent, and is now a professor with -jm years'
experience.
Prof. Brumbaugh is one of tbe most ear
nest, practical instructors we ever bad the
Pleasure of listening to. He loves h; prc-
fe.-sion and every person asd thing connect-
ed with it. The opportunity of hearing
such a maa is of more value to the teacher
than reading a library of bock son pedagogy.
Prof. Sprenkle. who directed the ramie
during tL Institute, bus a sweet voi-e. is a
pleasant gentleman, an 1 ucdtrs'ands music
thoroughly, but be rather lacks the power
to awaken the musical enthusiasm of aa as
semblage like a Teachers" Institute. But
music is only an incidental of such occa
sions, and perfection all the litre and in all
departments is not to be expected at an
Inst.tute.
Tha Directors' Association.
The directors of the county are moving
forward ia the line of school-work. Wben
tbe fact ia taken in 10 consideration that ail
their work nd time is given grataitously,
then their facte fu! convention here last
week is evidence of the progressive and
generous spirit which prompt many of them.
According to previous arrangement, the
Dire-tors' As-ocintion was called to order at
!.- p. to. 00 Tutsday, inihe Somerset Opera

necessarily absent.
The rjll waa called and about forty direct

bly increased during the two sessions.
M. J. Pritts F--q of Somerset, made the
opening address. He called attention to the
privileges and responsibilities of director
ship and the need of being thoroughly in
formed in the several line of daty. Eis
address was replete with practical suggest
ions sad progressive ideas.
Short addresses were made by D. Comp
toa and Joha Blake, of Eiklick. aloogimi
lar lines, the latter putting everbody ia gocd
humor by his genuine Scotish wit and his
happy hits.
Dr. Kuhlcia.i, chairman of thecommitlce
on Constitution and By-Laws, next made a
