The County Superintendent's Salary.
After lioo eoinplainiug that tlio Rk
n iii.H AN bad ex oinled the apace of
column in giving the correct "history"'
(and truthlul one, too, mint) you) ol the
manner by nhlclilhe superintendent of
schools of Forest county is enabeleit to
draw five hundred dollars per year extra
from the tax payers of the county, the
editor of the MarienviUe Express pro
ceed to go u one better and occupies
Iwo column in an effort to refute the
plain, unvarnished facts, and, n liile not
intending to do o, corrolioiates every
material point laid bare by this paper.
Before proceeding further let us again
briefly but plainly put the facts fairly be
fore the public:
First. The convention ol school direc
tors which elected K. E. Stitzinger super
intendent of schools of Forest county in
May, 18W, took absolutely no action on
the matter of fixing bis salery:
Second. The average school term pre
ceding that election did not csnvtt seven
and one-half months, and therefore the
salary of the Superimlcnt would not be
more than 1,(KK) per annum, unless other
wise fixed by a vote of that convention :
Third. The olllcers of Unit convention,
after adjournment, in certiying Mr.Stitz
inger'a election to the State Superinten
dent, inserted in that certificate after the
word "Salary," Fifteen Hundred (fl.WO)
Dollars, notwithstanding the convention
had taken no action on the question of
salary.
Fourth. The Superintendent-elect re-
ceived and accepted aduplicatecertiiicala
from said officers knowing full well the
convention had not voted him such a
sum, and has received an I accepted the
sum stipulated-iifteeti hundred dollars
per year.
We want tlio public to keep the fore
going facts in mind so as not to get con
fused by and falsehood which the Ex
piraa may employ to bolster up an un
lawful transaction that is costing tho tax
pavers of Forest county live hundred
dollars a year.
And now as to the Expreaa' wearisome
tirade o: abuse of individuals for daring
to defend the taxpayers against a pro
ceeding so manifestly unrighteous, the
public i ares nothing, much less do we.
What the people want is the truth, the
facts in the case, and those they are going
to have through the columns ofthe Rk
rfiii.icAX. The Expreaa, socager tocreato pieju
dice in tho minds of the people and
thus draw the fire away from the
main question, naturally gets balled up in
its reasoning. For instance it says :
When the question of salary was raised
in the convention Mr. Sti'tzinger was
asked to speak and said the aierago
school term in the county the past year
was seven and one-half months, and he
believed that tixed the salary at flaOn per
Tear.
Tile words "nllecn hundred dollars"
never fell from the lips of Mr. Stitzinger
during the silting of that convention.
He contented himself by simply saying
"that would fix tho salary." Why he
avoided mention of the amount of salary
must be left to conjecture. Again we
quote from the Ejrjn e.ui :
As no person In the convention ex
pressed a different opinion and there was
no motion to fix the salary, the chair
man, T. J. Keyner. twice asked if the
convention was satisfied with that slate
mentand salary, and neither liniH was
there a dissenting voice raised.
Thif piece of 'n formation is news lo the
members of that convention and eveiy
person in the audience who listened at
tentively to the proceedings. It is not
true in fact, hut supposing It were, did
that silence give Mr. Keyner license to
sign or Mr. Stitzinger the legal right lo
accept, a certificate such as is on file in
the State school department? Is not
every sane person aware that it requires
the vote of a majority of the school di
rectors' convention to increase tho Sup
erintendent's salary almve flOou a year?
It is often remarked that "silence gives
consent," but this silence, according to
the Express, has proved the most expen
sive to the taxpayers of Forest couutv of
any we have beard of, co-ting them $.VK)
annually. Again quoting irom the Ex
preaa,
llefore that convention was held the
length of term of each district in the
county was given to State Superintendent
Schaefer, and he was asked what under
the law and that aveiage length of school
term the Superintendent's salary would
be, and his reply was ftloOu.
Until that visit to Harrisburg the salary
of the Superintendent waa paid out of tho
funds appropriated for paying the salaries
ot superintendents; since that visit two
thirds has been paid out ol that fund and
ono-third out of the appropriation to the
schools of Forest county.
There is something wrong with tlieso
two sentences. They don't harmonize
If Supt. Schaelfer was paying Mr. Stitz
inger's salary "out of the funds appro
priated for paying superintendent's sal
aries,'' why did he c-liango that method
ami deduct the .VM) from the appropria
tion for F'orest county T The quickest
way to piove the falsity of thoso two sen
tences is to quote f'r. Schacffcr's letter,
which vindicates tho Doctor, anil relieves ;
hi in of the awkward position in which I
the Express socks to place him. I

Dear Sir: !
Th salary of the county snporinten- .
dent of Kon-st Couutv has been paiil on '
the ( crlilicHUi of Flection sunt by the
convention of Directors. The excess has
lieen deducted from the appropriation
due for Forest couuty. The law does nut
specify the method of calculating the
average length of the school term. Ofthe
ditlcreut methods tor calculating the
averse" I th'iik w e have adopted the one
to w huh the least objection can le urged.
The method ot making this calculation
must evidently Is? determined by the
Sirierimendeiit of I'liblic Instruction.
The Act of Assembly says "that in all
counties having over two hundred and
ninety schools or twelve hundred square
miles of territory, or a school term ex
ceeding seven and one-half mom ha the
salary of the superintendent shall not be
less than tilleeu hundred dollars."
Some of your questions are repetition
of preceding questions and I do not deem
it iiicumticiit to answ er the same point
twice in same letter.
Yours truly,
Nathan C. Si-hakkkkr.
State Supt. of Public Instruction,
If the foregoing letter proves anything
it proves as plainly as language can do
so that the Expi ess is sacking to lalsifv
the records and grossly deceive the pub
lic. It will be noted that the letter was
wrtten in September last, four in tubs
prior to "t at visit" which seems so to
rankle in the editor's craw. The Express'
silly twaddle on that subject, and its state
ment that from that time on the manner
of paying Supt. Stitzingcr's sal try was
changed, is loo ridiculous to require refu
tation. Dr. Schacffcr's own language
gives the lie so plainly to the editor's
statement that it would seem common
decency should dissuade him from furth
er attempt to maintain the falsehood.
Tho Exprrsa denies the accuracy of our
statement to the effect that all but two
districts in tho county seut representa
tives to the convention called to investi
gate the superintendent's salary ques
tion, and states that "Hicen Independent
did not elect" a delegate. 1 he Kurriiu
can never makes a statement it can't
back up with tho lacts. Here are the
minutes of that eonveullou, verbatim :
Tionestn, ii , .Viir. 12, ltioi.
The following school directors, being
delegates duly elected by the school
boards of the districts w hich they repre
sent, viz:
Harnett, Isaiah Cassett.

Harmony, Wm. U. Morrow.
Howe, J. C. Welsh.

met at the Court House at 2:30 o'clock P.
M. oil the l'Jlh day of March, 1111, and ef
fected an organization by electing Rev.
Win. Richards i.f Kinuslev township
president, and Wm. U. Morrow of Har
mony township, secretary.
The object ol the meeting was briellv
(.taled by the president, Mr. Richards, to
be, to bring about the adjustment ol the
error in the unteinent tiled with the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction of
l'enns Ivania, that tho action of tho
convention of the school director of For
est County, held in Mav, lfWl, tixed the
salary of County Snperintei denl K. E.
Stitzinger, at lilieen hundred (!) dol
lars per annum, when no action was
taken by saio convention.
It was moved by J. C. Welsh, and sec
onded by Kdward Kiser, that Rev. Will.
Richards of K ngsley township, and J.C.
Scnwden of Tionesta Horo, wait upon
Sunt. K. Stitzinger and the olllcers of
the convention of school directors of ISW,
with a proposition to leave the ma'ter of
fixing or adjusting the salary of Sunt. K.
K. stitzinger, with the State Superinten
dent of Puplic Instruction, in accordance
with the paper presented to this conven
tion, and report to this convention, with
in thirty (:loj days, at a meeting to be

Wm. G. Morrow, Sec.
It will be observed that eight ofthe
ten school districts, or four-tilths, were
represented, and that Green Independent
was one of them, and that by nol . ss a
personage than Mr. Ceorgo Watson, who
participated in the proceedings of that
convention, expressed himself as well
satisfied with the spirit of the meeting and
its actions, and said he would speak per
sonally with superintendent Stitzinger on
the matter. As to where this investiga
tion was started the records will show
tl at Green township was the first to pro
pose il, and the first to elect a delegate in
the person of Mr. Kdward Kiser, a mem
ber of the school board of that twp., the
assertion of the Expreaa or any one else
to the contrary notwithstanding,
The editor the Expreaa acknowledges
being present when the certificate of
election were filled out, and says "both
were signed by the chairman and exam
ined by several others." And doubtless
pronounced a good job.
The editor of the RKrrm.iCAN did
name Prof. Speer before the convention
hut used no such nonsensical language
as the Express would put in his mouth;
however, had the convention seen the wis
dom of electing Prof. Speer he would not
to-day be drawing f.HK) excess salary from
the taxpayers of F'orest county on a cer
tificate that falsifies the action of that con
vention. If the editor of the Express or any one
else desires to uphold such official con
duct it is their privilege so to do, as for
this journal It w l.l not be found In that
kind rif business.
In spite of many nucxpected difficult
ies the President has sounded the main
koynotes of his journey across the conti
nent.

Viir Etlilor:
I spoilt about two hours la-t night in
America, principally in Tionesta and
you can rest assurd I fully enjoyed it. I
mean by this that I got my mail, the
first in three weeks, and in tho quiet of
my room forgot all about my "pilgrim
age" and the strange and wonderful
scenes through w hich I have been daily
passing and read my papcis-TiiK 1!k
rriiLii'AX and let era surrounded by
the familiar scenes, faces and voices of
good old America and Americans.
How- true it is that
"We never miss the water
Till the well runs dry."
I even read all the advertsctnents and
then to finish up read over the list of
boro and county ollieers. You gave the
only account I have seen of the capture
of Agiiinaido. We had only heard a ru
mor of it before.
Our Palestine company trip is over and
just at present there is a slight dilfeieuce
of opinion expressed in regard to it.
Some w ho w ere not used to toughing it
on horseback feel a little tired and sore
and think tho trip too hard for anyone to
undergo, others wero more oblivious to
the hardships, or more accustomed to
them and are enthus'astie over it, I be
long to the lalter class ami feel amply re
paid for the weariness of body, without
which no one can take the trip, ami only
wish I could have had more lime on the
way to absorb w hat I saw and learned.
Tho whole way from Jaffa to Heyrout
was tilled with surprises, wonder and de
light. I had rend considerable about
Palestine and thought I knew something
aliout it, hut I now confess that my con
ceptions in most cases weie far from the
reality in so far as the topography of il is
concerned. To attempt a description of
this country in a letter would be to fail,
so I shall confine myseli to mailer in
general and leave (he rest for some future
and more suitable occasion.
Our landing at Jaffa was done by small
boats coming out a half mile to meet us.
There is no dock here at all. This is one
of the things travelers diead, as the na
tives yell rnd pull and clamor at you in
an unknown tongue till you scarcely
know yourself and could not recognize
your own voice. Ti o wav iu is full of
rocks which in a rough set are not w ith
out danger to the boats. Fortunately we
got in at early dawn and had tho benefit
of a itiide who'knew w hat to do and how
tj treat those fellows so that wo got to
land without incident worthy of note.
Of course we looked up the house of Si
mon the Tanner and found it, and read
that portion of Scripture referring to him.
The well of water and large stone trough
are still there and thcic is not much doubt
as to the Identity, of the place. Then we
drove to the house, or rather the tomb of
Dorcas, where a Greek church now stands.
Jaffa is a much larger and more beauti
ful city than I bad expected to find. It
numbers about 3.",000 souls and ha at
tained its recent size and importance
largely iu consequenso ofthe large num
ber of pilgrims (almut 15,(100 annually)
who go to Jerusalem. Large orchards of
oranges, figs and similar fruits, with
grain and beautiful flowers in full bloom
were on every hand. Tho air was soft
and balmy which with a gentle sea breeze
blowing in the cool of the morning gives
one a very pieasant recollection ol the
place.
We left on the Jerusaloni and Jaffa
railroad which isa narraw guago bul fair
ly comfortable road. At once we stuick
the renowned plain of Sharon lying be
tween almost parallel ranges ol bills run
ning east and west but gradually closing
in on us as we procedtd toward Jerusa
loin. This plain is about sixteen miles
wide near the sea and is usually very
fruitful. This year the winter rains
were light and ceased early so that al
most a drought has come upon tlio land
as in the days of old. As we proceeded
eastward these ranges of hills closed in
till wn soon found ourselves in a deep
gorge, up which we wended our way like
a serpent's trail till we reached the great
centre of the world's hist ry Jerusalt in.
This road Is ,"4 miles long and fully half
the way it runs through this deep gorge,
Kvery foot of the way is filled with Inter
est and our new dragoman, Ksa, was
kept busy pointing out Intso places.
How strange it sounds to our ears lo near
called out, the plain of Sharon, Lydtla,
Rauilelt, Gl.uh, lleth Heron, lleth Shem
esh, Yaie of Klah, and know we were
looking upon landscapes that hail been
the scenes of conflicts, or hallowed asso
ciations, now possessing a reality un
known before. And then the incongru
ity of Jerusalem for a railway station, I
am sure I would haye enjoyed it much
better had we been able to ride or drive
up from Julia. It would certainly have
been much more in keeping with the
fitness of things than niching iu on a
modern railway train.
There are only three tilings in all Pal
estine that I think I would have recog
nized without assistance and one of these
is Jerusalem. Had I bieii blindfolded,
not knowing where I was being led, and
takeu to the top of any of the hi lis round
about and tho bandage then removed I
would have said that is Jerusalem, i
could not miss it the city of David. Two
familiar passages from the Psalms came
to my mind and received a new intcrpro
tion "Jerusalem is builded as a city that
is compact together." It has been said to
have no suburbs, and il is only recently
that any considerable number of houses
have been built oulsido the walls. These
high walls surround an exceedingly
small enclosure br 00,000 people. Iu our
country it would not contain an ordinary
village They know how to economize
space The streets are moro nlleis and
the space lor a famil f is small.
The other passage was this "As the
mountains are round about Jerusalem
so the Lord is round about his people.
While the city is on a hill il is surround,
ed on all sides except the west by hills
still Higher but separated by deep val
leys only In the north. This inado the
city such a safc pla e and gave David so
much trouble to lake from the Jcbusiles,
From all sides one can look dow n into
the city. Kspecially is this ti uo from the
Mount of Olives which is over against the
temple ami whero our Lord doubtless
stood w hen he wept over tho city. The hill
is so precipitous tuat the distance is short
one-half milo or less I should say in a
direct line and very much higher, Be
tween lies the valley of Jehoshaphat
through which "Siloam's shady rills,"
runs, only in the winter. The wall of
the city on this cast side, which formed
the east side loiiiidalion of tho temple

was once l.'iT feet high, but the base is
now covered to uite a distance with de
bris. A part of the original w all is said
tobovi iblo. Large stones 20 foot long,
four wide, fitted so closely that a knife
blade cannot be Insei ted aro now in the
wall, and difference between these stones
and this work and what lies about is
marked.
The usual places of interest were visit
ed. The church of tho lbdy Scpuleher
was full of pilgrims from all latuls and
the holy relics and places were, to our
eyes, idolatrously levcrenccd. Tho stone
whero the body wss embalmed wa-- a place
hero the devotion was parti ularly no
ticed. Kneeling before the slab, which
rested on a step about a foot high, they
would low, laying their faces upon it,
kiss n g it most aidentlyand laying coins,
handkerchiefs and even rags and paper
upon it and then turned aw ay while their
lips moved In earnest prayer. This was
true of many other things In the temple,
the tomb itself, the cover, the cradle, Ac.
We followed the Via Dolorosa from Pi
late's Judgment Hall till il seemed tost
iu the scramble to locate the real place of
the crucifixion. New Calvary, as it is
called because only recently accepted as
the real Calvary by many, is Just outside
the city wall east of the Damascus gale
and seems to fulfill the scriptural ac
count. On the sight of the temple now stands
a Mohamedan mosque built over the
threshing floor David brought from Aru
mah, and said to lie the costliest
mosipie In the world. Il is octagonal in
form and constructed of beautiful marble
all finished and carved with wonderful
skill. Everywhere costly lamps are
hinging, some of thoin richly adorned
w ilh crystal glass pendant. I do not
think it is intended as a place of w orship
as we understand that term, but rather a
place of relic veneration. I saw pilgrims
reach their hands through the grating
that surrounded the rock and rub their
faces, often kissing the hand that touched
tho stone. Two o: the Prophets hairs
are there in a case. These 1 did not see.
J usl south of this iu the same area is the
ltlos'ilo of El Aksu w here they show the
prints ol the Savior's leet in a rock. One
tun s away fro ii all these things with
very mingled feelings. The tfrceta, I. at
ins and Mohamedaus have located every
impoitant place and have built a church
over It.
Who'i speaking of the sea of iialih e
one day a member of the parly asked in
a semi-serious manner if a church had
been Iniilt over that yet. I shall only
mention one other place visited here and
that is the I'pper Room limb rnealh
which David's tomb is said to be.
Only three of us made this trip as ii
was done very early on ti e morning w e
left Jerusalem and was not without some
unusual proceeding. Our dragomen and
guides hal told us that it could not be
seen on account of very fanatic Mohaine
dans, whndwe't ill that part of t .0 city
and who would not permit any one to go
there. Of course this only increased our
desire to go while at the same tune we I
did not feel like taking too great risks, I
One of our number saw Dr, Merrill, our
Consul, and secured bis kawass or spec
ial representative, and also a soUier, ihe
former leading the way and tho latter
bringing up the rear. The trip was made
without incident, however, but how
much we owe to theso men of freedom
from molestation we do not know. The
place was an old house recently repaired
just outside .ion's gate ai d looked to be
suited to the purpose, and wilh the adja
cent room suUlcieiitly large to shelter the
one hundred and twenty who remained
here waiting for the descent of tho Holy
Spirit.
Although Jerusalem is situated in the
midst of rocky, barren hills for the must
part, and in aciuutry badly watered one
can see how the Jewish heart could cling
toil and in his exile say, "How can
we sing the songs of Zion in a strange
land." "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand foruct her cunning,
In my next letter I shall tell youof our
camping trip which l'liail neither time
nor disposition to wri'e.
