A Valedictory to the Reader, the Old and the New In Schools and School Methods. Work, Persistent Work Now, as Ever the Path to Educational Sue cess. Of the ninety-two public school teachers for the city of Harrishurg, in the year 1874, about whose work, to some extent, the papers of this series have revolved, thirty-eight have passed to the silent land. I could fill, nott one number, but several, with tributes to many of these men and women, did time permit. There are -names on that roll of death that deserve to be extolled to the generation of to-day foj their virtues and their years of pa tient labor. Forty-five of the teachers of forty years ago are still living, a very few •omparatively feehle and helpless, but. the great majority in the enjoyment of robust and vigorous life; whilst of nine out of ninety-two I could obtain A your ■ KODAK *0 IK Areln <>ur llamS II Developing: nod IIH3H IK rrlI1 " I>K ' <>r the Room 10, FRIDAY EVENING, HXKRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 14. 1914. no definite information in the limited time at my disposal for inquiry. Of the forty-five still living, twelve are employed in the city schools and are doing effective work, whilst eight oth ers have retired so recently that they were eligible to be placed on the list of annuitants—a roll of honor the in stitution which does great credit to Hurrisburg's progressive school board. One of the teachers of 1874 Is a prom inent member of the faculty in one of the leading female colleges of the land, whilst a considerable number of the school marms of forty years ago have found their mission in life, in t t supremest development of the female character, by being helpful wives and affectionate mothers in their own happy homes. A Valedictory to the Roader With this number ends my contract with the Harrishurg Telegraph, for the present at least. I have told you, as best 1 could, a few things—a very few things about our city's public scho Is of the past. There are ten thousand things I have not told you, many of them things which are rapid ly passing into oblivion —actions of our grand men and women of the past which should be enshrined in the memories of our generation and of the generations of the future. I would love to tell you in full of one of the most historic educational sites, not in our city, or county alone, but anywhere In our whole broad Com monwealth the old Lancasteriaji building In Walnut street dedicated as a shrine of learning In 1828, when An drew Jackson was just entering upon the presidency of the United States. I would be pleased to tell you about more of the old school buildings of Harrisburg forty years ago, and to whom credit is due that they have been replaced by structures that are dreams of beauty and comfort. I would love to tell you of men /rom humble walks of life, shopmen, and carpenters, and ironworkers, who came into Harrisburg's Hoard of School Control, served their constitu ents intelligently and well for many years without one penny of compen sation, did justly advance the cause of education,' and finally after manv years of service, retired to private life with no taint of corruption upon their records. I would love to tell you of the contributions which the medieal and allied professions have made to our school board. I would love to take you Into the | inner school life of some of the noble j men and women with whom I was in ! timately associated in Harrisburg's educational work, and tell you of their discouragements, of the difficulties with which they contended and which they surmounted—to show you the actual school life of the past, not as it appeared to the casual glance of the outside world, but as It was in all the Intensity of its trials and its triumphs. The Old and the New Have matters scholastic reached perfection? Hardly. Perfection is an elusive term when applied to aught that is bounded by finite ability and finite Intellect. There have been vast changes In forty years. Have there been improvements? Yes: emphati cally, yes, improvements, vast im provements. Have all changes been improvements? No: emphatically, no. There have been, as rolled along the years, so-called educational improve ments launched in various parts of the United States that were naught hut wild unreasoning devotion to fads, fathered by alleged educators of the have-bralned order. These fads had inconspicuous parentage, yet had they worshippers. Their fruitage, if fol lowed out, would be a race of intellec tual dwarfs. To the best of my knowl edge, Harrisburg has generally steered pretty clear of these educational monstrosities. Its school officials and its teachers alike have been too level headed to follow moonshine theories. In an educational career which cov ered considerably more than a third of a century, I have seen Institute lec turers glibly unfold their pet educa tional whims who themselves had been monstrosities. Its school officials and and had been forced on the rostrum to make a living. City Superintendent Daniel o. Burns, one of the grandest of men and the most efficient of edu cators that Harrisburg ever had, char acterized that class of lectures in a few stinging sentences which I hope to reproduce if this series should be resumed. It is from this class that new fads are born and new books made to ex pound those fads because there Is money in it. Bo Not Neglect tlie Essentials Palatial school structures have re placed the log cabins of a former age. It is well. Currlculums have been wonderfully elaborated. This too is well. It Is the imperative demand of the restless activities of a wide-awake, a progressive age. We have appara tus and appliances unknown to the era of the log cabin schoolhouses. This too is excellent. Yet all this can never compensate for a lack of thoroughness In rudi mentary work. There are certain es sentials. the foundation of the whole educational structure. They cannot be slighted without Irretrievable loss. No ornamentation of the superstruc- ture will supply their place in the stern battle of life. It may be possible that modern edu cational methods, with all their im provements, may be coated, occasion ally, with a gaudy tinsel that conceals a defective foundation in those things that are essential to all true educa tion. Costly buildings, expensive ap paratus cannot produce results unless supplemented by brains, study and application. There is no royal road to learning. It is the same route for peer or peasant, and he will win, who works. Do modern methods ever permit pupils to pass from grade to grade with whom spelling has become one of the "lost arts?" Do we not some times have boys and girls who are prodegies in a smattering of various languages and numerous sciences, but who are lamentably deficient In the fundamental facts of United States history: To whom this mighty conti nent is a terra incognita as far as ac curate geographical knowledge Is con cerned ? Harrisburg has done well, nobly, along every line of educational ad vancement. Our city occupies a com manding position as to its schools. We have many—very many improve ments that were not even dreamed of forty years ago in the most enthusias tic vision of the most devoted friend of the schools. Some of these I hope to outline in some future series. Let the motto still be "Excelsior." If there be a single weak point let it be elimi nated in the same way that difficulty after difficulty of the past has been overcome.

German Aeroplane Chased in Darkness by Belgians Special to The Telegraph London, Aug. 14.—Martin H. Dono hoe, special correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, in a dispatch from Brussels tells of an exciting aeroplane chase over the River Meuse. "Brus sels," he says, "anticipates big hap pennings in a few days." Mr. Donohoe's dispatch read: "I witnessed an exciting aeroplane chaes this evening close to Namur. A German aeroplane, which had three days persistently reconnoltered over the Belgian position, was observed hovering over an {lmportant fortified position on the banks of the River Meuse. Two Belgium biaplanes im mediately gave chase to the Kaiser's aerial scout, who, when flinding that he was being pursued, turned and flew at full speed towards Huy and Liege. One of the Belgian machines had risen very high above the German aeroplane when darkness fell, leaving the result of the chase, as far as I could see, undecided. "Stray hands of Uhlans arc still be ing captured at various points east and south of Brussels. The Belgians anticipate big happenings within a few days."
