Hot In the t'olar.
That communication in the Du
shore Gazette last week, relating to
harmony in the County Democrac}-,
this fall, was quite amusing in the
extreme. It was a boomer for one
or two candidates, thus, ignoring
the rights of other than a certain
few in their party toa»k for office.
It was a set down oil prospective
candidates, ne assures a strong
ticket ,li >wever,and is quite premature
in his statement that it will be elect
ed by a full Democratic majority. The
latter, we imagine will require the
thoughts of more than one individu
al For further developments, we,
in company with the other "feller"
will wait and see. Moral—don't get

'Wickersham Memorial." I would
urge every teacher of Sullivan coun

P. Wickersham on Friday, March
25, 1892 Teachers by observing
this day as "Wickersham Day" you
can more thoroughly acquaint your
selves and your pupils cail become
acquainted with the life of Dr.
Wickersham. [lis life is fbll of in
terest to every teacher and pupil of
Sullivan county. He was an un
tiring worker for the best interests
of education, and, to-day we are en
joying the fruits of his administra
tion as State Superintendent of
Public Instruction of this great
commonwealth.

WickorNliam .Memorial.
The State Teachers' Association
last summer appointed a committee
to decide upon some suitable merori
al to the late distinguished educator,
Dr. J. P. Wickersham. At a meet
ing in Philadelphia on the 11th inst.,
they decided to establish a Wick
ersham Memorial Library of peda
gogical works, as a section of the
State Library at llarrisburg, pro
vided that the Legislature will enact
measures for itti permanent pres
ervation as a distinct collection.
This, we believe, will be the first
library of its kind established by
any State in the Union.
In order to bring this matter
prominently before the schools of
the State, and increase the general
interest in the subject, the com
mittee recommend the observance of
March 25, 1892, the first anniversary
of his d >ath, as Wickersham Day.
They have in preparation leaflets
containing suitable matter for that
purpose, which will be furnished at
cost to any teacher wishing to use
them, upon addressing the Secre
tary of the committee, Miss Eliza
beth Lloyd, Newtown Square, Dela
ware Co., Pa.
The plan has received the follow
ing cordial endorsements :

PBOF. M. G BRCMBATJOH and GEN. JOHN
A. M. PASSMOKF., Philadelphia, Pa.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter, on behalf of
the State Teachers' Association, was duly
received and contents noted. The action
of your committee in its determination to
establish a "Wickersham Memorial Library
of Pedagogical works" instead of the
Monument first contemplated, meets with
my cordial approval. In such a Memorial
you certainly have selected that which
would have met with the cordial endorse
ment of him whose memory you seek to
honor and perpetuate.
Doctor J. P- Wickersham was a work
er, fifty years of his life being devoted to
the educational interests of our Common
wealth. He labored for others and it is
but fitting that his works should be con
tinued, as tbey will be. should the an
ticipations of your committee be realized.
Every one in in the State Who is earnestly
interested in our Common School System
will be prompted to give your committee
his active co operation.
With kindest regard and best wishes,
Very Respectfully,
lIOBEItT E. PATTISON.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
HARIUSBURO, Jan. 20th, 1892..
The Committee of the State Teachers'
Association is to be congratulated upon
the selection of an eminently appropriate
Memorial of IJr, Wickersham.
It is a happy thought to establish the
first public pedagogical library In Pennsyl
vania, in the name of one of the pioneers
of the Association, one of the first and
the most widely studied of American
writers upon Pedagogy whose works may
be found in every great pedagogical
library.
The Committee has skilfully reflected
the eminently practical character of him
whom we delight to honor, in proposing
to place the memorial at the State Capital.
Harrisburg is most accessible from all
parts of the State, and there it will bo al
most invaluable to those who, in a legisla
tive or in an executive capacity, shall be
sent up by the people to deal with the
ever-growing interests of education.
