PATRONS’ DAY MARKED SUCCESS CRIMINAL
Parents and Friends Show Gost Inter Great Toferest i in Work of the Meyers. |
dale Schools. 444 Visit High School Friday Afternoon.
Meyersdale is noted for her ex-
cellent schools which rank among the
best in the Keystone state. If any
one doubted this , he or she needed
only to visit the schools last Friday
afternoon to be convinced of the fact.
‘all of the rooms the walls were
covered with exhibitions of the school
work in all branches. This was done
“in the neatest and most attractive
manner and ‘many visitors could hard-
ly believe the colored maps were the
work of the children. The raffia work
was quite an additional display with
bags, card cases, baskets and even in |
one of the lower grades pretty little
hats made of the raffia and trimmed
with ribbons were shown. The boys
have been ‘just as interested as the
girls ‘and it is inestimable in teach-
ing them carefulness, judgment, se-
“lection of colors, etc. Interesting. pro-
grams were given in a number of th
rooms. The high school program is
given among the high school notes.
The High School auditorium was
crowded twice for the entertainment,
and the exhibition of the pupils’
work was displayed in the adjoining
class rooms. Here, as in all the other
rooms, the work was excellent and
reflected great credit on teachers and
pupils.
Something somewhat out of the or-
odinary were neat folios with sten-
ciled names, for preserving drawings
and pretty candle shades made froin
rice paper by members of the draw-
ing class.
The Parent-Teacher Association la-
dies served light refreshments to all
who would partake in the Domestic
Arts Department.
The following are interesting facts
regarding the different schools and
the visitors to each on Patrons’ Day.

ACID POISONING
NOT ANTHRAX
On Tuesday the quarantine on the
home of Cyrus M. Sanner of Conflu-
ence was lifted and it is now consid-
ered by many that the disease was
not anthrax but poisoning from the
acids used in tanning.
Hides brought to the Confluence
tannery are not tanned by the old
method in which bark and lime figur-
ed so prominently. Acids are now us-
ed to transform the hides into leath-
er. Mr. Saner is said to have splashed
some of this acid upon the side of his
face. A large sore like a malignant
carbuncle developed, though he did
not become ill. Grover
Harnedsville, another tannery work-
er, also developed a sore of this kind
and physicians diagnosed the malady
las anthrax. Both homes were quaran-
tine.
Hides which had been shipped from
China were said to have caused the
infection. These skins were received
at the tanenry in large bales, having
been bundled up in this form after
having been sun-dried in the oriental
countries where they were collected.
The possibility of infection from
these hides is so great that it is said
future shipments will be inspected
more rigidly before being shipped to
the tannery.
