For a decade of years there has been
on tbe part of young men a movement
away from tbe farm -going into the cities
aud towns, and finding employment with
manufacturing concerns and business
housos. We don't think many of them

has aided greatly In bringing on our pres
ent high prices. They may have got a
little higher wages than tbey would have
made on the farm, but those of us who
stuck to our bush are now compelled to
pay exorbitant prices for living. Brook-

A heavy snow storm last Thursday
night gave us sbout eight Inches more of
sleighing, making nearly two feet on the
level and traveling mighty bard. The
depth of the snow has been reduced very
materially by the heavy rains on Monday
and Tuesday. Conditions were right lor
a big break-up, but a sudden cold snap
this morning seems to hsve stopped this
snd saved the sleighing. Sunday morn
ing tbe mercury dropped to nearly 6
bolow zero and our citizens awoke to a
condition of nature not often seen even In
this country of sudden changes. Tbe
moisture in tbe air on Saturday bad been
turned into frost a half inch thick, which
covered everything. The effect produced
on shade trees and in tbe woods was in
describably beautiful. Even tbe air was
full of the frost, making a sort of haze,
and it Will probably be a long time before
' we see its like again.

According to a decision banded down
at Franklin by Judge Crlswell, in a test
case oo tbe petitlou of residents of

either entirely workod out or entirely
paid in cash. According to tbe opinion

in work and part in money. It must be
one or the other, cash or work. Under a
former law recently repealed, either way
of payment was allowable and tbe peti
tlon tiled by tbe people of tbii section
was for the purpose of getting an opinion
on tbe matter, and tbe court ruled as
stated. Until the decision Is overruled
by a higher court Venango county tax
payers will be bound by it.

the devotioual exercises and tbe program
was carried out as it bad been arranged.

Pease, of Tlonesta, on the subject of Pri
mary Reading, The great importance of
tbe foundation of an education was well
brought out and the plans by whicb good
results may be obtained were well dis
cussed. M iss Pease told of tbe sentence
method supplemented by phonics, and
tbe discussion which followed laid great
stress upon the latter.
Literature In History and geography
was tbe next paper and was read by Miss
Carpenter, of Esjdeavor. Tbe importance
of literature as a supplementary to his
tory and geography was the theme and
several examples of olassio literature that
might be used were given. The discus
sion brought up the subject of eliminat
ing tbe wars and their battles from our
public school texts aud the necessity of
shortening tbe course in some way.
Literature in the Fifth and Seventh
Grades was well discussed by Prof. Gill,
of Tlonesta. He not only told of the Im
portance of good literature in the grades
but gave some of the books that are so
much appreciated by children and every
teacher was able to get something for bis
or ber Individual needs.
At tbls point In the program seven boys
from the six th, seventh and eighth grades
of tbe Endeavor school very pleasingly
sang a selection entitled "Billy and Me."
Miss Martha Morrow, of West Hickory
then read an excellent paper on the Lan
guage Work in the Upper Grades, whicb
was much appreciated. Tbe value of
choice literature in heart culture was em
phasized and the necessity of substitut
ing correct for tbe incorrect expressions
of tbe children.
Tbe Teacher's Dream, by Miss Julia
Anderson, of East Hickory, was very
clever, but not expected to material! e
before tbe millennium.
By this time tbe hands of the clock had
reached the noon hour and tbe institute
adjourned to the Kindergarten Hall,
where a very sumptuous repast was pro
vided by the High School girls.
At two o'clock th e work of the insti
tute was resumed and a selection was
beautifully sung by Rev. J. F. Scberer,
Clifford Wadswortb aud Chester Jones.

requirements and Mr. Feit of Tlonesta
read a splendid paper on Western His
torical literature.
Prof. Bisb, of Tidloute, was called upon
for Criticism of tbe Publio School and as
sured us that no one is exempt from crit
icism, but that no one has a right to se
verely criticise any one or any thing
without giving a new or better way for
doing the thing criticised.
F. R. Sharer, of Neiltown, a former
teacher iu the Eudeavor school, was
present and gave a talk on the Profes
sional Qualities of a Teacher. "The two
most important qualities," says Mr.
Shaffer, "are Intense honesty snd loyalty
to one's work."
A lullaby was then sung by tbe Tlo
nesta quartette, assisted by Miss Carpen
ter in Miss Osgood's absence.
Primary Number Work was well dis
cussed by Miss Laura McKean, of En
deavor, and Physical Training, by Miss
Christine Anderson, was one of tbe best
papers on tbe program.
By this time it was more than lour
o'clock and after Prof. Gill had invited
all present to be at a similar gathering to
be held In Tlonesta In three weeks, tbe
institute adjourned.
