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. Sbafer, tbe popular
principal of Clailon State Normal school,

lecturers in this country and whose tal
ents are known and appreciated on both
sides of li e Atlantic, baa been aecured.
This leoture is free to the public, and ber
subjeot will be "The Voice of Science."
Tuesday evening the DeKoven Male
Quartette, a high clasa organization, will
furnish tbe entertainment.
Wednesday evening Edmond Vance
Cook, poet and humorist, will occupy tbe
platform, and if reputation as a lecturer
goes for anything, it will be worth going
a long way to bear bim. 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.
