Teachers' Institute October 20-24. 8upt. J. Orr Carson bss arranged for an earlier Institute of the tescbers this year tban usual, having fixed October 20 to 24, inclusive, as the dates, which It is be lieved will be a much more seasonable time than In December wben weather conditions are not nearly as dependable. Tbe sessions will be held In the Court house, Tioneata, always a pleasant meet ing place. At this season of the year It is slso possible to get a better array of tal ent, both as to instructors and evening entertainers, than later In tbe year, and in tbla Instance Prof. Carson has been peculiarly fortunate In his selections, having perhaps tbe ablest corps that has ever been brought to the oounty, and go ing to much greater expense to secure tbe talent tban has heretofore been expended. Tbe Instructors engaged are as follows: Superintendent A. 8. Martiu of the School District of Norrtstown, one of the state's best educators. Dr. J. G. Carter Troop, professor of English in the University of Toronto, whose fame is nation wide. Prof. Harry M.

His subject will be "Nineteen Hundred and Now." Thursday evening the Metropolitan Musical Club will give one of Its fam ous entertainments. This is one of tbe leading musical organizations of the country. Superintendent Carson aims to give the people of Forest county tbe best teachers' Institute they have ever enjoyed, and la sparing no trouble or expense in bis effort. Munificent Gift of Memorial Windows. Former Congressman N. P. Wheeler, of Endeavor, Pa., and Hon. E. G. Dusen burg, of Portland, N. Y., have Joined In tbe gift to the Presbyterian church at Olean, N. Y., of three handsome memor ial windows. These are in memory of the foundera of tbe Presbyterian church organization which dates back to 1830, when Judge Atkins who was the grand father of Mr. Wheeler, Invited Rev. Samuel Cowlea to come to Olean, the organization being effected in tbe home of Judge Cowles, Judge Atkins and Henry Duaenbury of l'ortvllle being elected elders. In 1873, the present site of the church waa purchased by Hon. Henry V. Duaenbury paying one-balftbe cost, Hon, W. F. Wbeelor and Hon. James G, Johnson tbe otber half. The three memorial windows will look from the eutrance cloister into the church auditorium and will depict three impres sive scenes from the lile of Christ. Tbe central group will be In memory of Judge and Mrs. Atkins, In whose home the church was organized in 1830. The window at one side of ibis will be lu memory of Hon. Nelson P. Wheeler's father snd mother, Hon. and Mrs. Wil liam F. Wheeler; the window at tbe other side will be In memory of Hon. K. G. Duaenbury's father and mother, Hon, and Mrs. Henry V. Duaenbury, who were also charter members of tbe ohurob. The High School Commencement. Tbe annual commencement exercises of tbe Tlonesta High School were held in the Court House, Tuesday evening, May 6, 1013. The graduating class, composed of ten members, wss an unusually strong one and reflected great credit not only ou themselves but on their tescbers, Mr. L. P. White and Miss Ruth Dimond. Their subjects were new, very interesting and well discussed. The decorations, which consisted of ferns and otber potted plants, flowers and pennants, were simple but vary effective. Tbe muaio waa furnished by Coleman's orchestra, of Titusville, aud was up to their usual high standard. Rev. W. 8. Burton, pastor of the M. E. church, gave tbe Invocation. Arlie Dreyer gave an oration on "Eu genics," tbe science of being well born. Our latest census reports show tbat there are three million people in tbe United States not fit to be her citizens. Tbe science of eugenics contends that these three millions must be eliminated and none allowed to survive but those mor ally, mentally and physically strong. If thia could be done we could rid ourselves of 75 per cent, of all tbe drunkards, the Insane, criminals and idiotic persons. By tbat time we should have an Ideal race possessing all tbe essentials of a sound soul, mind and body, and conditions ex isting In our cities would be changed. Ruth Foreman followed with a reading, "A Sisterly Scheme." Tbe selection was well given and sboed tbat tbe speaker bad great talent. Mildred Thomson then gave tbe "Class History," which covered tbe throe years of high school work. It was very inter esting and was given In a charming manner. "Modern Agriculture" was the subject of Irvin Kelley's oration. The progress which agriculture has made is iu pro portion to other industries. Agriculture is coming to Its own through the applica tion of scientific study and improved methods. The farmers of Pennsylvania should not be discouraged. Tbeir land and climate are adapted for profitable production and tbey have good markets for all tbeir products. Let them remem ber tbe words of tbe poet: "And I bsve said it and I say it ever, Aa tbe yeara goon and the world turns over, 'Twere belter to be content and clever In tbe tending or cattle and tbe tossing of clover, In tbe grazing of cattle and the growiug of grain, Tban a strong man striving for fame or gain." In the "Class Prophecy," dated 1042, Arthur Zuver told very cleverly In rhyme the occupation of bis classmates: Irvin Kelley, president of the United States; Arlle Dreyer, a successful preacher; Gwendolyne Hill, school teacher In Ten nessee; Arthur Carson, college professor; Edna Rodda, housekeeper in Lawrence county; Robert Sigwortb, manager of store in Kalamazoo; Ruth Foreman, prima donna in New York; Mildred Thomson, trained nurse; Alice Decker, governor of Idaho. Tbe essay, "Woman as a Factor in Civio Improvement," by Alice Decker, was especially good. She gave a com plete account of tbe work done by women all over the United Slates aud closed with an appeal to the women of Tlonesta to follow tbe same lines of work. Robert Sigwortb delivered an interest ing and instructive oration oo the "Pio neers of Forest County," In which he traced the history of the locality from tbe earliest times known to the white man down to tbe present. This subject was especially appropriate from tbe fact tbat nearly every ono present was a native of Forest county and naturally Interested in its history. Gwendolyne Hill discussed "Educa tion Its Advantages." The very process of education is action, for we learn only aa we use our power. The chief purpose is that we may do more worthy and fruit ful work in tbe world, that we may serve our felloWtneu and fulfill a higher nils sion in life. Knowledge, expression, thought, character and service are tbe elements of education aud are open to all of us. In and through these we should strive to grow into fuller aud finer life, Webster has said: "If we work upon marble, It will perish; if we work upon brass, time will etlace it; if we rear tem ples, they will crumble into dust; but If we work npon mortal minds, if we im bue upon them principles with a ust fear of God, we engrave upon these tablets something which will brighten through all eternity. A decidedly new aud pleasing feature of tbe evening was tbe "Class Will," read by Edna Rodda. In ibis very clever production tbe Class of 1913 bequeathed all tbeir desks, books, good nature, mon ey making propensities, theatrical talent, etc., to tbe Juniors. In the Valedictory, tho president of the class, Arthur Carson, made an earnest appeal to all Interested lu tbe high school to give it their hearty support. He paid a glowing lilbule to the teachers, direct ors, and couuty superintendent, all of whom have helped raise the standards of the school to its present stale of efficiency. The diplomas were presented lu aj;ood speech by tbe Presidnn' of the Board of Education, W. C. Iuiel. Then lollowed the class address by Supt. J. J. Palmer, of Oil City, wbo proved himself a pleas ing and very Interesting speaker. A pleasant feature not set down oo the program was a very appropriate speech by Prof. F. W. Gill, of Tidloute, who said be held a two-year Interest in tbe class and waa there to claim his interest. Rev. G. A. Garrett, of tbe Free Motbodist church, closed tbe exercises with the benediction. Altogether it wss an en joyable evening, one long to be remem bered by the large audience. That the people of Tionesta are justly proud of their schools is always manifested at these aunual commencement exercises. C. A. Anderson, Greenhouse, Tionesta, Pa.
