Undertakers Xnat Have Lieenie.
Representatives of the Sate Board of
Undertakers, who were in session in Ilar
risburg yesterday, had a conference with
Deputy-Attorney -General Elkin, with
reference to the new law governing un
dertakers in this State. Subsequently
the Board held a meeting and ad pted by
laws and rules. It is intended to have
licenses in the hands of all undertakers
Itefore iMviulier Tth, and ail who have
none by that time wlil be required to
undergo an examination, for which a fee
of j'il will be charged. Between eight
hundred and nine hundred undertakers
in the State are expected to comply with
the law. Tho license will cost f !: each.
Telling a Cow's Age.
A cow's ago is indicated by her horns.
At the ago of two a ring of thick material
form at the ba:se of each horn, and one
ring is added every year after this lie
comes apparent. To find the age there
fore, count the rings and add two. In
the cise ;f a bull, however, the first ring
does not appear until he is five years old,
and one annual ring appears after that,
so to the number of rings on a bull's
horn five must be added. The result
attained is, however, only approximately
correct, fir not only is the time of ap
pearance of the first ring uncertain, Imt
occasionally two ring appear in one
year, and then again sometimes a year is
omitted, no ring being formed. A dis
honest dealer can also change the spuar
ent age of the animal by tiling off some
of the rings from her bonis, no that com
plete reliance on this sign is sometimes
very deceptive.

I.rkeVf aml 0,i,erS5 that it was unneces-

that on former occasions has proved
more or less annoying. All seemed to le
animated by a desire k learn and if any
teacher returned to his school at the end
of the week finding that he had not been
greatly lieiietiled he has himself u blame.
Tho general public was, also, highly edi
fied and lamented.
A pleasing and commendable feature of
the Institute was the presentation of a
valuable gold watch to County Superin
tendent Berkey by the teachers. The
presentation speech was made by R. R.
Sanner, principal of the Continence
schools, just lieforc final adjournment
Friday. Mr. Sanner said that the teach
ers desired in some ullauti-.il way to
acknowledge their appreciation of tho
service rendered the schools of the coun
ty by the retiring Superintendent, and to
signify their regard for him as a tel low
teacher. Superintendent Berkey accept
ed the watch in a few well chosen re
marks in which he spoke feelingly of his
nine years' service as a public ofliwr
and of the confidence he always reposed
in his Ccilow-leachers.
It is not in the province of a country
journal to give a full and comprehensive
write-up of all the many excellent ad
dresses delivered during the week, and
owing to private obligations which en
forced the writer's abseuce from several
of the sessions he will be unable to hint
at many of the noteworthy features of the
Institute. Our rejsirt last week closed
with Tuesday afternoon's session.
Mr. II. II. Emmet, the Indian orator,
who occupied the Opera House stage
Tuesday evening, held his large audience
spcll-liouiid by the magicof his eloquence
and the earnestness of his plea for justice
to a despised race. The speaker was a
typical specimen of his race, tall, wiry
and graceful. He spoke so rapidly that
at time his words were uii.iitided and
their meaning was thereby rendered un
intelligible, but his auditors were so in
tensely interested in his story that a pin
drop could have 1koii heard all over the
house at any time during the two hours
he was talking. The speaker divided
his lecture into four parts. After tracing
the origin of the North Americau Indians
and dwelling iqvoil their tribal relations,
social aud moral, he lie (fan a vigorous
arraignment of tha I'nited States govern
ment for its mistreatment of his people.
He recited in graphic detail the barbari
ties indicted iqioii the red men by their
white brothers and succeeded in arousing
the sympathy of his audience to a very
high pitch. He scouted Gen. Sheridan's
famous observation, "The only gisxl In
dian is a dead Indian," and pointed out
that the Indian is the only species of
mankind upon whom our government
retuses to bestow tho right of franchise,
while the satno government make
American citizens of the refuse and ig
norant element of all other nations on the
glols?. He showed, by reading a decision
of the L. S. Supreme Court, that an In
dian can not bring an action at law in
any court in the country, and contrasted
their condition with that of th-ir breth
ren in British America, claiming that thu
Canadian government is more just in all
of its dealings with tho red man. Mr.
Eminett believe that the true solution of
the Indian question is to treat the Indians
as citizens, make them amenable to the
law, and give them the right of
franchise after they have demonstrated
their capacity for citizenship.

W. H. Kretchman, principal of tho

when questions lieariugon sch-sd matters

title of a topic for discussion referred to
W. W. Cupp, R. R Sanner, Clarence L.
Shaver and II. S. Rhoad. Tha speakers
agreed with great unanimity that the
question at hand was hackneyed, but at
the same time all dropped some valuable
hints to their fellow teachers. Several of
the speakers advanced tho proposition
that scholars should not lie compelled to
prepare lessons after school hours, but
should do the work of preparing text
book lessons in the school-rooin. M ossrs.
Sanner and Shaver favor a lilieral use of
newspapers and periodical in the family
circle in order that the children may ac
quire general knowledge and thereby a
broader education than they can Missille
secure from the study of text-books alone.
M r. Shaver spoke at greater length than
any of tha speaker win preceded him
aud demonstrated that he is one of tho
ino-t fluent and practical talkers among
the teachers of the ouuty. Prof. Speich
er, of Meyersdale, also, spoke upon this
question.
Miss Janette McKinley, of Meyersdale
read an excellent pajier on "Home Influ
ences in School Discipline," in which
she made it clear that if the best result
are to lie attained in school tbe pupil
must have the helpful assistance o f home
influences.
Tho regular session was opened by
scriptural reading and prayer by Rev.
T. J. Bristow, of the Presbyterian church.
Pr if. Moesa give an interesting talk
o:i "language and Literature," which
was followed by an address by State Su
erintendent Sehaeirer, who occupied
the period assigned on tbe program to
Dr. Waller, of the Indiana Normal Su
perintendent Berkey having previously
Mated that Dr. Waller was detained at
home on account of the death ofhis eldest
son. Superintendent Schaefl'er took for
his subject "Make the Pupil Think,"
aud Is-foie be had concluded his remarks
he had set every person in the large au
dience to thinking in an entirely differ
ent channel from any in bich their
thoughts had ever before flown. There
are three essentials, he said, to lie observ
ed in starting the mind to thinking in a
proper channel. There must be projier
material for thought ; the liest instru
ments of thought, and the right stimulus
for thought. The Dr. illustrated his re
marks with a numlier of historical anec
dotes licaring on the subject.
Prof. Tompkins continue.! his remarks
on "Mental Science," after which he
answered a numlier of queries relating to
school management. Prof. Tompkins
has the happy faculty of answering a
mass of miscellaneous questions relating
to all jsissible phases of school work with
a corrertnen and facility that plexscd
aud satisfied his auditors.
At the afternoon session Prot Speicher
delivered a capital address on "Tbe Bible
in the Public Schools." Notwithstand
ing the animated discussion thit ha
been going on in the public press for the
past two years oil this question, and the
adverse decision of a Common Pleas
judge, the speaker fearlessly announced
the stand he had taken aud earnestly ad
vocated the use of the Bible in every
school in the land. Mr. Speicher was
followed by Superintendent Schaefl'er,
Prof. Whittaker, of the Lock Haven Nor
mal, and Prof. Tompkins, all of whom
imparted useful information and offered
helpful suggestions to the teachers.
Dr. A. J. Palmer's lecture Wednesday
evening on "Company D : Tbe Die-No-Mores,"
was of exceptional merit and in
terest. The lecturer prefaced his re
marks by saying that tbe conipany of
w hich he profiosed to speak derived its
queer sounding title from the fact that it
was composed of very young men who
had enlisted from a boys school in New
Jersey, and w hose favorite song bad lieeu
the good old Methodist hymn "We
Are Going Home, to Die No More."
After a rather ludicrous description of
the position the commanding officer oc
cupy in liattle and how the credit for vic
tory is always bestowed upon them,
while the heroic conduct of the private
soldier is unrewarded on the tablets of
history, be gave a vivid description of
the assault made uion Fort Wagner, in
Charleston Harlsir, on July 13, 1WVJ,
where fifteen hundred men, out of an
assaulting force of two thousaud, perish
ed. Five only of the "Die-No-Mores"
survived and they were captured along
with the remaining survivors and taken
to Richmond to languish iu the prison
pen on "Belle Island." He paid a glow
ing tribute to tho heroism of the men
who suffered in Southern prisons, hun
dreds of whom laid down their lives
rather than desert the flag, when by so
doing they could secure their liberty.
Out of forty thousand Union soldiers con
fined iu reliel prisons only ninety took
the oath of allegiance to the Southern
Confederacy. Tho letrturer stirred the
hearts of all who heard him with his elo
quence, and in turn moved them to tears
with his pathM. The Kithjo-t matter of the
lecture left an imperishable impress on
the minds of the audience.
TlIl'UsUAY SESSION-..
The teachers' hour was disjiensed with
at the morning session. After Rev.
Hiram King had conducted devotional
exercises, ami Prof. Tompkins had deliv
ered another of his excellent talks, Su
Iierintendeut Stewart, of Greene county,
was introduced. He spoke on education
al matters iu general. Prof. Byron W.
King.occiipied the next period' with in
struction on language, literature and
kindred studies. At the conclusion of
his remarks institute adjourned in ordei
that the teachers ami directors present
might attend Thanksgiving Day services
in the Lutheran church.
The teachers and dircHors met in
joint-session in the afternoon. M. J.
Prills, Esq., of Somerset, delivered an
address on "Co-operation of Directors
and Teachers." O. O. Saylor, principal
of the Rockwood Schools, was tbe first
speaker on the question "How Can we
Improve Our Schools?" His remarks
were of a practical character and he im
pressed Isith teachers and directors with
the fact that he has been an intelligent
student of pedagogy and is one of the
uuist thorough and liest qualified teach
ers in the county. Tho question was
further discussed by memliers of the con
vention. Prof. Tompkins lectured the
teachers and directors on their duties aud
ottered a number of valuable suggestions,
which if carried into effect, must result
in advancing the educational interests of
tho county. Trot Whittaker, of the
Lock Haven Normal, and Prof. King, al
so, ssike at this session, and tho Orpheus
Club, of Meyersdale, rendered two of
their choicest selections.
The evening entertainment, given by
the "Mozart Sextet," of Brooklyn, was of
a high order, in fai-t, an intelligent critic
was heard to remark that it was the most
artistic, and rclined musical performance
ever given in Somerset. The program
was a classical one and the music, there
fore, "almve the heads" of many in tho
audience. Every numlier was loudly
applauded. Miss May Whitney's vocal
numlicrs were specially tine.
KKinAV MoIt.M.SOl SKSSIOX.
E. E. Pritts, principal of the Somerset
schools, presided during the hour devot
ed to teachers. Five minute speeches
was the order and D. L. Wiand, of Jen
nertown, wxs the first to ropond, be
sjieakiug in the interests of the "Teach
ers' lineal Institute." S. G. Shelter spoke
on "The Grading of the Schools," and
P. E. Weinier on "Fixing of Teachers'
Wages."
In a neat five minutes speech, R. R.
Sanner, in Is-halfof the teachers, present
ed Superintendent Berkey with a valua
ble gold watch. That gentleman was
taken entirely by surprise by this unex
ected move, but soon regained his com
is su re and accepted the present with a
few appropriate remarks.
Superintendent Berkey delivered in-strm-tioii
on "Tho Teachers' Term Re
port." Devotional exercises conducted by Rev.
Houpt, opemsl the regular program.
Prof. Tompkins delivered hi final ad
dress in which he took oo-asion to com
pliment the teachers upon their intelli
gence and the eagerness they displayed to
acquire knowledge. The committee on
resolutions offered the following :
II ir,li;- , That we most heartily con
gratulate our County Superintendent
upon hi very successful management of
school affairs during his term of office,
and that to him, in a great measure, is
due the advancement that has taken
place in the school of our county.
Ilwilrrtl, That it is largely due to his
able and untiring efforts that the present
session of our Institute has been so in
structive aud entertaining, and that we
express our undivided appreciation of all
his efforts in this direction.
fl-ulrr,t. That we recognize in State Su
perintendent Schacffor, an earnest and
competent leader of educational forces of
our State.
Iiiitolriul, That we commend the re
cent scliool legislation in our State, and
that we see in this a means toward secur
ing better schools aud more intelligent
citizen.
Hrxolml, That we extend our thanks
and appreciation to all instructors and
others who in any way helped .i instruct
and entertain us, thereby making this
session of our institute one of the best
ever held.
Rexitlml, That we appreciate the work
of tbe directors in their convention by
co-operating with them in all the work
they have done, and that this great inter
est iu the schools, shown by their volun
tary attendance, without renin nei at ion,
should receive our hearty commenda
tion. Uetuilml, That we extend our thanks
to the county press for its impartial and
extended account of the proceedings of
this institute.
The other committees having reported
and there Iieiug no further miscellaneous
business, closing addresses were declared
in order. Revs. Bristow, Harkey, and
Barnett, sioke feelingly of the pleasure
and profit they had derived from at
tending the various sessions. Messrs. O.
O. Saylor, J. C. Speicher, SupL Berkey
and several others also spoke briefly of
thelicnefit the institute had lieen to teach
ers and the educational public generally.
In fact theclosing exercises wcre more in
the nature of a love feast, in which all
agreed that the thirty-ninth annual ses
sion of the Somerset County Teacher's
Institute was the most succcessfully car
ried out in every detail and would result
in more practical good than any previous
session. Prof. King recited several hu
morous and pathotic selections, after
which the Institute united in singing
"God Be With Us 'Till We Meet Again,"
when the institute was declared adjourn
ed. St'MMART OF ATTEXPASCK.
Of the .T.Vi teachers employed in this
county, 291 were enrolled a memliers of
the Institute, and all hut five of these
were present at every session. The ab
sent teachers were Miss Emily Miller
aud Miss Katharine Coulehan of Alle
gheny, Miss Mattie Colliorn, of Lower
Turkey foot, and Mr. C. M. Chritner. of
Summit. Twoof the absent ones Mis

INSTITUTE SOTES.
A delightful feature of Tuesday ami
Wednesday nights' entertainment was
the music furnished by the "Orpheus
Club," an amateur organisation, of
Meyersdale. The Club is made np of four
young ladies and three young men, who
manipulate the piano, mandolin, violin,
guitar, and banjo, very cleverly indeed.
The faces of the young ladies were as
pleasing to look upon aa their music was
to hearken to.
The Herald was right when it said
that Superintendent Berkey would
signalizo his retirement from the County
Superintendent-)' by making the Institute
oflSH tho best in tho history of tho
county.
State Superintendent Schaoffcr taught
scIkniI in this place and is always a wel
come visitor. . Hi several address) lie
foro the Institute showed the scholarly
'raining of a master mind. Every period
marked an in.sinlrovertililo truth and
was inspiration to the tea. hers.
Perhaps ne reason for Prof. King's
great popularity with Somerset county
teachers is the fact that he is a native
Somerset eountian and is a family con
nection of some of the numerous King
families in Upper Turkeyfoot and Mid
dlecreek. His father removed to West
moreland county when Byron was a
small lad.
That the music this year falls below
the standard is not due to any lack of
skill on the part of the teachers, many of
whom can sing lietter than the conductor
brought bore to teach them the "do-ra-ine-jas."
The watch presented Superintendent
Berkey is a solid gold bunting case
valued at 1)0.
The Hotel Vannear parlors furnished a
tryst ing place for the school "marius" aud
their gallants after the lectures.
Without wishing to detract from the
reputation of any of the many excellent
and distinguished instructors who have
appeared liefore Somerset County Teach
ers Institutes in the psst, it is but just
to say that Prof. Tompkins, of the Illin
ois University, who was here throughout
the week, and spoke at every session, was
tho peer, if not tho superior of any of
them. His addresses were chock-full of
practical, common-sense information, and
they fell upon appreciative ears.
School Directors' Convention.
The sixth annual convention of the
school directors of Somerset county met
in the l'rMhyterian Church, at 10 a. m.,
Wednesday, and was called to order by
Supt. Berkey. 52 directors were present.
A temporary organization was effected by
electing I. D. Ieydig, of Northampton
township, President, and W. H. Sannr,
of Somerset, Secretary.
John R. Scott, Esq., delivered theopen
ing address. After welcoming the mem
liers of the convention to thn county
seat, he made an urgent appe-il for uni
form action on the part of the directors of
the county on all matters pertaining to
their official duties. He announced him
self a strongly in favor of uniformity of
text-lsMiks and pointed out the many
evil result that have obtained from I
non-uniformity. Before concluding his
address he offered a resolution, which
was adopted, calling for a convention of
dins-tors to take permanent action on this
question. Mr. SMtt's remarks were in
accord with the advanced ediK-ational
sentiment ot the day aud showed that he
ha carefully considered the beat inter
est of the schools of the county.
"Sch.ml Supplies What to Get ami j
How to Distribute Them," was the sub
ject of a discussion opened by Joseph
Horner, and debated by N. D. Hay, No
ah Scott, Mort Welfley, J. C. Gnag. y, J.

giene in the Schoolroom," was ably dis
cussed by Dr. Pollard.
"The Directors' Part in the Compulm
ry Atten.laucc Law," wa discussed by
Hon. W. II. Miller and Hon. A. J. Col
born, who explained the duties imposed
upon directors by the act of assembly
mentioned.
State Superintendent Schaeffer ad
dressed the convention on general educa
tional matters, and urged upon it the
necessity of establishing district high
schools. He said that he wanted to see
the Pennsylvania Uy fitted to earn a
much as tbe Massachusetts and Mary
land boys, which he is now unable to do
on account of his defective common
ach'Hil education. He referred with pride
to the advancement that has taken place
in our school system since its adoption
and declared that he would not rest con
tent until the Keystone State had the bent
common schools in tho Union.
At Thursday morning's session L. M.

Directors' Part ill the Lwal Institute;"
Superintendent Berkey spoke on "The
