THE FOREST REPUBLICAN.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1901.
(JUAT TICTORIOl'S.
I At tbe Republican caucus at Harris
burg yesterday, the stalwart wera In
control anl orgaiiitcd the legislature by
electing Mr. Marshall Speaker of the
House, and Senator Snyder President of
thn Senate. Of the doings of the joint
convention last night the following
special to the Oil City Derrick says:
Colonel M. S. Quay was practically re
elected United States Seuator to-niglit
when Uie Republican caucus of 123 mem
bers voted unanimously lor him. Two
absentees sent word they would vote for
biin, one man in caucus did not vote and
there are at least two others who will
Jump to him at the first opportunity, al
though they, did not go into caucus,which
altogether wilt give him 1 votes.
In mucus, tjuay on the ballot received
119 votes, John Pair ell two votes and
John Stewart two votes, but the two latter
names were withdrawn and all went for
Quay.
The opposition went all to pieces since
the Quay people organised the Legisla
ture to-dav, and it is uow conceded that
Quay w ill be elected on the first ballot on
January 15.
Mr. Bryan's total electoral vote iu the
Northern statea is significant 13.
TBKjob of reorganizing Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Bryan on a common basis is not
making much headway.
A West Pointer cares nothing fur
subsequent casualties if be can only
oome out alive at the end of bis first year
of tbe military academy.
It is much to the credit of the battle-
scarred freshman at West Point that
none has asked the government for a
pension at the end of the first year.
In round number', the Republican
plurality in tbe popular vote is 863.1 CO
and it breaks the record of all national
elections in that respect by UO.OUO votes.
As the kidnaper is iu a peculiar sence
general enemy in society, tbe hunt for
one should be continued until he is run
down aud given the limit of punishment.
Tiik new century will begin with the
Republican party in control of all de
partments of the government and the
greatest general prosperity the country
has ever kuo n.
Tkh nations are knocking for damages
at the door of China, If this is the out
oome of Confucianism Minister Wu
should modify bis praises of it as a syS'
torn for national guidance.
Mr, Clevkl kd's opponents in the
Detucratio party continue to Insist that
tbey are right, but it is to be remarked
that Qrover also thinks he. is right and
has been President to boot.
It will be noticed that the English pa
pers objecting to tbe amended Nicarauga
treaty do not get down to particulars,
They seem to be unable to specify the
clause or clsuses that are wrong.
If the reorganization of the Democrat
ic party depends on Mr. Cleveland's
magazine articles and Mr. Ilryan'a ed
itorials a considerable time must be
allowed to clear away the brushwood.
Ambassador Choatk takes especial
pains to inform the American people
that there, are no larger unsettled estates
in England, and if they insist ou being
swindled they will bave to go back to the
old reliable gold bricks.
Two weeks before the election tbe Re
publican State Committee in New York
published a forecast of the result by
counties, which gave a plurality for JIc
Kinley over Bryan of 143,900. The ac
tual figures are 14:',80. which is close
enough, with a margin on the right side.
Cunorkss has Its work well along for
this period of the season. Theexpirntion
will come, by limitation, on March 4, but
from present indications all the really
urgent legislation will be enacted before
that time. A creditable degree of speed
has been shown by our lawmakers in the
past few w eeks.
The Senate has passed a bill appro
printing J25fl,0n0 for a government build
ing and exhibit at tbe South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposition,
to be held at Charleston next year. It
will be an important aud valuable exhi
bition, mid the House should approve the
bill without dclav.
On retiring from office Gov. Pingee
says: "I've got a big list if ingrates,
hypocrites and boodlera who hsve pre
tended to be my friends aud then be
trayed me," remark indicating that
Pingree had chosen bis associates un
wisely and that he has thought of him
self rather than of the State of Michigan
In the Sixth Americau Congress, the
first to assemble in Washington, John
Randolph, a member of the House, re
ferred to the army as "a handful of raga
muffins, catiug up the people's substance
under pretense of protecting them from
a foreign loo." In the light of lator
history Mr. Randolph made a Pettigrow
of himself by that foolish language.
There is one soulless corporation, says
the Springfield (Mass.) Union, and that is
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Down with
the trusts. Down with monopolies, say
we. What is the Pennsylvania Road go
ing to do? Why, on January 1 it is going
to place 400 of its employes on the retired
list with pensions for life. There seems
no way of hock ing these corporations and
they keep right on grinding down the
poor laborers.
' Tub London Times quotes loiters from
Japanese merchants and others concern
ing the conduct of the foreign troops in
China. These all agree that the Ameri
cans are by far the lst. They are al
ways gentlomen. Next iu estimation
come the Germans ; after them the Eng
lish, who are described as "petty pilfer
ers.,' The French, say the writers, are
ravishers, while the Russians are called
the worst of all, and described as wanton
murderers.
As employe in the Census Office at
Washington says that many ludicrous
misunderstandings occurred while the
count waa in i rogress. Among the quer
ies on Uie blanks furnished lo tbe enum
erators was one which was indicated thus:
"Length of rosideuce." This w as expect
ed to show how long each person had lived
in the place where he resided when the
census was taken ; but when the reports
came in it was lound that acme of the
enumerators had misunderstood the na
ture of tho question, and bad answ ered it
iu flgures-"20x,,",76 feci", etc. Evi
dently they had measured the length of
the residences of tbe peopl e they counted-
Attorney Gkm ral Ukiiios made a
strong argument beforo the Supreme
Court against the contention that the
"oustitulicn keeps paco with the lla,i in
getting into new territory, but he spoiled
some of tbe effect of his address by say?
big "lam hoie in a feeble and humble
way" to support tho executive branch of
the government in its position on this
question. Tho "feeble and humble"
should have been left out. Tho xeeulivo
branch of the United States Government
is neither feeble nor humble, the Attor
ney General is part of it and its legal rep
resentative, and its condition on the issue
involved is in line with tho position
takon by such eminent anthers as Mar
shal, Webster, Benton, Jefferson and
many other destinguished men. An
official of tho United States Government
in the performance of his duty is not
called upon toabasa himself before any
man or body ol men on earth. .Sr. Louis

Profiting; by American Prosperity.
Even Europe's crown wearers are in
terested in American prosperity. Many
of them, it is known, bave made heavy
investmsnts iu United States securities
nl one sort and another. The Russian
Czar, tbe German Kaiser, the Kings of
Italy, Belgium and other European
countries, aa well as Kruger, the ex
bead of the extinct South African Repub
lic, have large sums of money, in some
cases well up into the millions. In rail
rosd bonds or stocks and other kinds of
American properties. These personages,
aa well as 7ti,000,000 Americans, are very
much interested in the prosperity which
the Republican party has brought to the
United States.
Very soon after the opening of the new
year about $173,000,000 will be disbursed
in New York as interest or dividend'.
Some of this money will go to its Euro
pean owners, but the great bulk of it w ill
go nta the pockets of Americans. Not
all of it which goes to Europe, or which
is owned by Europeans, will be takon
out of the country for any considerable
length of time. Most of it will be invest
ed here again, on tbe knowledge that it
will bring more money. The United
States is by far the best country in the
world In these dsys of Republican pros
perity lor everybody, American or for
eigner, to Invest money in.
These are "flush" days in the indus
tries and f ommerce of the United States.
In most of the great activities new rec
ords have been made this year. All the
lsrgor Industries are busier than ever be
fore. Apparently it will be hard for lsH)l
to beat inoo's exhibit In tho industries
and commerce, but the continuous in
crease which has been under way shows
no sign of interruption. The coming
spring will probably beat last spring in
tho amount of its business, and the other
seasons are likely to score advances on
the corresponding times this year. The
wave of prosperity ia touching a higher
mark than was ever reached before in
the United States, but the opening year
of tbe new century stands a chance to see
sn advance on even the present records.

COUXTf TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Forest county enters the twentioth ren
tury with an educational force of ninety
seven teachers in its public schools few
er wium can tell anything of a teacher's
institute of a quarter-century ago. Of the
ninety-seven teachers, ninoty-two were
present at the annual institute of the
teachers of Forest county, which was
held in the court bouse at this place last
week. Tioncsta was glad to welcome so
many of the county's host of loyal and
trained educators a division of the vast
army npen whose nobility and faithful
ness largely depends the destiny of our
nation. We ware especially happy to
have with us as instructors Dr. W. W.
Black of Illinois, Prof. Sherman Davis,
of the Department of Pedagogy, at
Blooinington, Ind., Prof. Louis D. Eich
horn of Btufiton, Ind., who conducted the
music, and Miss Elizabeth Lloyd or Dar
by.Pa. Dr. Black needs no introduction
to the people of Forest county, as no in
structor is more widely known, or favor
ably remembered than he. As bo an
nounced at tbe beginning of his lecture
on Monday afternoon, he and the other
instructors had come to the teachers of
Forest county to worg eut with them the
problem of life, and he began with "Man
as a Being of Education." Dr. Black be
lieves the school is a problem of study as
much as any branch and must be studied
by the Uacher who continues the study
while teaching. To make his idea clear
he compared tho school with the govern
ment of our country. He said that if a
person were going to be President of the
United Statea he would have to study the
elements of government to see what a
tivity in tho three departments of gov
ernment relate to each other. A general
knowledge of the functions is not suf
ficient, but he must have an intimate
knowledge of the basis of functions. In
every teaching process there are three
phases 1. The ohild. 2. The study or
material. 3. The teacher. These ele
ments may be had without having a
school. The materials of a building are
to be found on plain and mountain, but
before we can have any structuro the
materials must be related iu such a way
as to accemplirh tho purpose for which
they were created, And, in order to have
a school, the three phases are to be prop
erly rolatod related in such a way as the
act of learning is going on to the grestost
advantage. The school is a process and
not a fixed thing. Every Individual re
peats the history of its race. There was
a time in the history of man when tho
war-like element predominated and
when might made right. Tho problem
of tho borne, then of the school, is to take
the child with its tendencies and not to
suppress them, but to take wtih his
tendencies and to lilt him out of the sel
fish and animal into a higher condition
that will benefit humanity. To hold
China In tact and to civiiit its people
is just such a problem as confronts the
the civilized world. A man's value to
the world in thought and action depends
on what be contributes to tho world. A
man who does not help the world pn
ward has blocked the w heels of progress
There are two kinds of paupers in this
world. The plebeian who Is kept
at the expense of others, and the young
man or womai in the palace who Is kept
by the father. Environment makes the
man, but he can choose his environ iient.
Each individual has for its purpose the
good of its kiud. The more he bucemcs
acquainted with this worl I tho. more
power he has. Tho world is full of activ
ity. Man has impulses common with
this activity, and these make the hi!J a
means ol education. The school has this
problem to make tho transition in the
child from instincts and impulses to a
thinker.
The problem of the schoolroom must be
as definitely in the mind of tbe teacher as
the woodwork of the piano is in the mind
of tho workman. Ou Tuesday evening:
Dr. Black gave his lecture ou "The Mean
ing and Valuo ol School Education,"
which was full of help ill suggestions to
tho teacher, and plainly showed that it
depends on the getter whether it is worth
while to toil for an education or not.
Thursday alternoon ho gavo a lecture
on "The Problem of Job". As nr. Black
looks at it, the themo of the book of Job
is Solf-reliauce. Job lived from w ithin
aud was true to the best sense of rinht.
Uo was selt-rcliaut because he relied on
the justice of God and had not violated
any of the great laws of life.
Dr. Black's work was happily supple
mented by that of Prof. Sherman Davis,
a young man of ouergy and culture.
Prof. Dayis, after graduating fro.n one
of our best Universities, took a degree at
the University of Marburg an Lahn in
Germany, and his bright, scholarly lect
ure on Monday evening on "School Lite
among tho Germans," gave the audience
a glimpse of student life in the Universi
ties of Germany, With fin- descriptive
powers he portrayed Gerinanyasacharm
ing piece of Naturo's handiwork, and Us
massive atone structures as relics of tho
time w hen the nations of Europe w ere in
their infancy. He also showed t ic his
tory of this great nation to bo a strange
mixture ol tragedy and comedy. Prot.
Davis took as his themo for the week's
work, "Lilo Relation iu Education."
He began by telling how a scienti-l
has devoted twenty-five years to the study
of the eyes of blind fishes, because he
discovered that at sometime there whs a
connection between tho subterranean
cavern and tho sea. How long, no
one knows. Iu some way this
connection was broken and now feelcis
bavo covered by papilla so sensitve
that these fish recognize a friend as well
as an eueiny. Tho purpose ol this scien
tific study is to learu how tho sightless
eyes differ from tho normal eye. And so
we in order to work out tho relation of
life in education must in some way get
some basis of understanding ourselves.
Wo interest ourselves in w hat the world
is interested in. When anarchy
reigned in the animal world, people were
interested in war. When Christianity
came into the world and the law of hive
touched the lives of men, they became
interested in that. If religion touches our
lives it is best to be religious. In an in
teresting way, Prof. Davis showed how
race impulses were displayed by the
toad, squirrel, chick, and horse. A child
has more impulses than any other ani
malhas come into tho world with more
instinct. Talking is a raco impuls ni d
the child has an immense desire to ac
quire a vocabulary. Until eight thi
impulse is strong and it is unnatural lor
a child not lo whisper. At this period,
teach the language. "Strike while the
iron is hot." In tho sanio way ho ex
plained bow tho desire to distinguish
color, to enjoy fine pictures and ! ear
should be satisfied at the time of har
mony. Tho boy is muscle hungry. Jle
loves to git into daimer. for the sake of
agility and he should have an opportunity
to exercise this muscular co-ordination.
Race impulses satisfied at tho right lime
have given to us the standard of right
and wrong. Nature studies should be
taught in the school because our ances
tors lived iu the woods. Tho boy loves
the woods and should be taught how to
preserve our forests. Ho is interested in
conquest of animals and should culti
vate them. The law of self-preservation
should begin in primary grades. Boys
snd girls are interested in books that
got near to nature. They w ill be more
interested in these than tho trashy novel.
The problem of the boys and girls is to
have them find their place in life. The
t acher Is to guide rather than repress. If
a stream is dauied up it w ill have its out
let. Activities must not be stopped,
but transmitted. Ifyouw.intto repress
wrong, give the child something good
and more interesting. Negution is nev
er valuable. Jt suggesls the activity you
would not have a child do. The negative
should oe translated in'o the positive.
By doing the most fur ourselves we do
the most for the world.
Prof. Eichhom who had chargo of the
music is an excellent young man and
an artist in his lino of work. He received
musical education Ihrough private in
struction iu the cities of Pittsburg, New
York and Chicago. For six years he was
supervisor of music in one of the western
cities, but for the coming year has an en
gagement as an evangelistic singer with
aNewYoik evangelist. He expects to
travel as far west as California and from
there into Canada. Prof. Eichhom
teaches that the race impulse in the child
of a love of music should bo given its
Ire dom early in life.
Miss Lloyd is a gentle lady of culture
who is eiirjloyed by the Friend's temper
auce society to present the subject of
physiology, hygiene and nracoties at the
teacher's county institutes of the state.
Miss Lloyd has devoted much time to the
stu ly of this subject and captivated her
audiences with Ihe interesting way in
which she presented her work.
Wednesdiy morning Supt. Labia, of
Ytnango county was introduced and was
most cordially received by the institute.

We the tesehersof Forest county, would
hereby signify our appreciation f the zeal
manifested bv the Superintendent In his
effort to secure the highest standard of
efficiency in the school system of the
county, aud to which end the meritorious
program ot tins wee nus ueeu arrangeu
and eariied out.
We, express our warmest gratitude lo
the efficient corps of instructors whose
talks we en joyed and who have led us to
see new ideals and new realities In the
vaiue of education; and to the citizens ol
Tionesta who have been so courteous in
their tieatimnt ol us wo extend similar
grititude.
e. recommend the adoption, by tlio
school boards ot the various townships in
Fori-st countv, of uniform course of
study am system of grading as approved
by tiie Superintendent; saidcouise to be
supplemented by an approved high school
course, provision for instruction in which
to be provided as suggested by the laws
of the commonwealth.
Wo recommend to the boards of direc
tors til" election of township principals,
who by their labor an 4 supervision may
nulifv. svstemize and harmonize the
work of the isolated schools by bringing
them into closer relationship.
Wherea, it has pleased God in His
infinite wisdom to remove from our

therefore resolved, that we extend our
deepest sympathy lo the bereaved friends
and that we realize in Her sad demise ttie
necessity ol a closer fellowship and com
