In the quaiut old market place upon a
Friday, ami about the hour of noon,
will have speedily come to understand.
For the Dutch cheese producer. In
deed, "all roads" may be said to lead
to Alkiuaar, likewise all waterways,
and there are many of them. Thither
come the cheeses by rail, by cart and
by boat, you stumble over them Inalde
the station as you alight from th«
train; they dispute the light of way be
tween the rows of narrow, many col
ored and curiously gabled bouses; they
stand In solid stacks upon the landing
stages— heaped up like cannon balls in
readiness for an Immediate bombard
ment and. If 'twere not libelous to
breathe aught savoring of disrespect to
a friendly country's national coroeetl
ble, ns deadly, possibly, also to an un
accustomed stomach as their leaden
prototypes.
But, be that as It may, the cheess
market Is a rare good sight In quaint
Alkmaar when the peasant proprietor
and his vrouw come Into drive their
bargain at the weigh hoouse with the
wholesale agents from far sod near,
and every hostelry does Its own brtak
trade with both parties Across those
rounded bridges peculiar to Holland
come shoals of peasant folk In pic
turesque attire. Who does not know
by now the dress with Its glorious cap
and goldeu "corkscrew" ornaments, the
pride of many a generation, making
pretty faces doubly bewitching and
lending some subtle attraction to even
the hardest featured dame well up In
years? On they com®-—clatter, clatter,
clatter, voluble with their guttural flu
ency we somehow feel we ought to un
derstand because of Its confusingly
familiar sound, but Its \ery kinship to
German sends us astray, and we listen
and listen till the Jargon about the
weigh hoouse becomes a more hope
less Jumble of sounds than ever to our
ears, and we content ourselves with
turning our attention to the building
Itself. It stands where its richly paint
ed facade can be seen clearly reflected
In the cool, smooth waters of the neigh
boring canal, a dignified old pile, built
1q 1651, with an especial eye to the
growing Importance of Dutch cheeses.
Alkmaar having In that year received
Its "right to weigh" from William of
Orange, uixl thus every cheese chang
ing hands from that date ouward hav
ing passed from the producer to the
dealer across the Alkmaar scales. The
present ones, by the way, which have
hung in their place since l»iyU. were
made in Amsterdam at a cost of 858
guilders and. having conscientiously
performed their duties without a hitch
ever since, certainly speak volumes for
the workmanship of 200 ind odd years
ego.
Though the little town Is thronged
from earliest morn with orderly
• crowds of heavy Hollanders. It Is not
until the musical chimes within the
all important weigh hoouse turret have
signified the hour of noon by breaking
forth in melody, generally from some
well known comic opera, that the ac
tual business of the day begins, al
though, "unofficially." both parties to
the coming transactions have probably
already taken time by the forelock
over a glass of hollands In some inn
on the maarkt Now. however, the
cumbersome ware is carried within
doors, the time honored ceremony Is
goue through and the ticket stating
the correct weight of each given, after
which act the money changes hands.
It Is a study in temperament, this
weigh hoouse scene in the little Dutch
town No "hurry skurry" mars the
calm of the place or disturbs the pbleg
matlc, pipe sucking individuals pri
marily interested In the transactions
here going forward. The cheese alone
seems riotous and inclined to wholesale
insubordination, with a mind to roll
hither and thither, possibly resulting
from some "subconscious" memory of
BOWS, green meadows and buttercups
and a disinclination to coming bondage
upon the prosaic shelves of some pro
vision dealer.
If 80, we honor the "last kicks," fu
tile though they be. for accustomed
bands soon pounce upon and gather
up the stock, of which each single
cheese weighs from two to six kilos,
and they are swiftly carried out to
make way for the next lot. And so on,
ell through the day. does the trade pro
ceed until the last "Eidamer" has been
disposed of, but the extent of the busi
ness done In so quiet and orderly a
/ashlon on "cheese market days" may
to some extent be gauged from the
fact that no less than 3.000.000 pounds
•weight of Eidam cheeses are computed
to pass through the Alkmaar weigh
hoouse annually before proceeding to

will do it. When the child leaves the
school room be should carry with him
the outline ot the books he has read,
and a knowledge of the books he
should read ; so that he may go ou ed
ucating himself indefinitely.
There is somewhat of a tendency at
present on the part of teachers to neg
lect the fairy tales and Bible stories
so dear to the hearts of children, and
pat iu their place the literature of a
more advanced mind. Even the teach
ers themselves are often unfamiliar
with many of these charming stories.
It is well for any one, of whatever
age,who is desirous of comprehensive
ly reading biographical,historical and
classical works to lay the foundation
by becoming acquainted with these
Biole stories.fairv tales and folk-lore.
Miss Edmund said in conclusion that
it is not so much what the child reads
in school,as it is what he loves to read
after he leaves school that is a mea
sure cf success to us teachers
After a short intermission a class
from the Third Ward Primary School
rendered several songs with pleasing
eSect.
James Coughliu. Superintendent of
the public schools of Wilkesbarre, and
one of the foremost educators of the
state, was then introduced to the In
stitute. He said that the great pro
blem for teachers to solve is how to
teach. He emphasized the importance
of the teacher fixing the attention of
the pupil upon what he is reading.
The children should be taught to
help themsalves. A method, to what
ever it may apply, most represent an
orderly and related series of exercises
leading to aelf-helpfullness. Self-dir
ected activity should be the one great
lesson for the child to learn. If the
teacher has nothing definite iu mind
the school will not be moving in a
definite direction.
His conclusion was a plea for teach
ers to learn to so conduct their schools
that there will be awakened in the
pupils' mind an appreciation of that
person who is standing before the class
and who is deserving of the esteem of
the class.
In the afternoon Miss Gertrude Ed
mund spoke upon "The Art Idea in
Education." She said that imagina
tion, feeling and expression are neces
sary for the creation of art iu any
form. There are three lines of educa
tion possible in our poblio schools
drawing, music and literature.
As instructors of children, our fitst
duty is to teach the children to ap
preciate the beautiful in art. Second
ly we should teach them to produce
ait. In order to accomplish results in
these lines teachars should decorate
and beautify the walls of their rooms
with inspiring pictures
Iu speaking of music Miss Edmund
said: "I hope the time is coming when
we shall have in our High Schools
classical music; when we shall have
children studying the great classics in
music, jost as they study the great
clamiCß in literature." She continued
by saying that we often invite our
local talent to play in the schools in
order that the children may hear good
music. How much more beneficial it
would be if we encouraged the chil
dren themselves to come forward and
do what little they could, and in this
way belter develop their talent aloug
that liue.
"I have only one word to say about
poetry," Miss Edmund stated, "And
that word is this: it seems to me that
it is the mission of art to make plain
things fair and ugly things oftentimes
beautiful, and it is the mission of art
to find and make beautiful the uucorn
monness in common life. I ofteu think
that poetry has been more of a help iu
this line than anything else."
The balance of the afternoon was
taken up by Superintendent James
Coughlin's address on "School Discip
line." His talk was instructive and
inspiring and was very acceptable to
the institute; so much so that Miss
Edmond, who was to have occupied
the last period, voluntarily gave up
her time that Mr. Coughliu might con
tinue. His remarks were punctuated
with amusiog incidents iu his person
al experience which served admirably
to illustrate the point under discus
sion.
He said that is is vastly better to dis
cipline a school by moral suasion than
by force. A sohool should be manag
ed, that is, a pupil should be persuad
ed to do things rather than foice him
to do them. Teachers should also pos
sess the spirit of jurtioe. Some oue has
said "The teachers of tbis country are
the commissioned leaders of civiliza
tion." Now if we are the commission
ed leaders of civilization, we ought to
understand the qualites whijh con
stitute leadership.
At both the morning and afternoon
sessions the High Sohool room was
comfortably filled with people. Many
persons not connected with the Insti
tute were in attendance.

J With each session of the Teachers'
Institute the interest seems to grow.
Yesterday at both the morning and af
ternoon sessions a number of citizens
were iu attendance. The addresses of
Miss Gertrude Edmund and Superin
tendent James Coughliu were practic
al and comprehensive and thoroughly
1 interesting.
On account of the Rev. Edward
Haughton being absent from the city,
chapel was conducted by General Sec
retary Laumaster of the Y. M C. A
Mr. Coughlin occupied the first period
with an address on "Why Our Schools
Are Not Thorough. " His talk was
given under three head'. Firsf. we do
not see the eud irom the beginning
He emphasized the point that of the
many contributions of study there
must b« unification. It Is not so much
that the child is going to le»rn all the
subjects we teach, but we exercise his
mind and we want him to be a think
er. The duty of every teacher is to
create the conditions which will • li
able the unfiitest to survive.
Secondly, the children do not pr.
pare their lessons as they should It
a class conies to a teacher with the
lesson only partly prepared,the teach
er should be unwilling to hear that
recitation. Schools arc not thorough
because children are allowed to recitu
without being fnlly prepared The ab
solute co operation of the home is es
sential to the school, because the pre
paration inusl be made in the home.
Those at home should understand that
they are to help in this matter of in
terest
thirdly, there must he a uniformity
iu the studies. Certain subjects be
come major studies at different times.
Between the ages of six and twelve
years, literatnre is the major study,
with a growing iut«rest in others. In
the thirteenth year mathematics pre
dominates, and at fourteen mathe
matics and history.
After a short intermissioii Miss Ger
truo Edmund addressed the Institute
on "Penmanship and Drawing." Dur
ing the course of her talk Miss Ed
mund exhibited a number of specimens
of penmanship and draw ing executed
by pupils of the school of which she
is principal. The children whose
handiwork was shown vary iu age
from six to thirteen years. Creation
is made the keynote ot their work ; the
onlv copying they are allowed to do is
from na'ure. The children are taught
to cut original designs from paper
wlifiii tl.ey first CJUIO to the kinder
garten. From this work they advance
through the different grades to var
ious kinds of designing The wall
paper designs by children of s»ven and
eight years of age are revelations of
the wonderful system that exists in
well regulated schools. Some speci
mens by papils in the grammar school
were water-color laudscape6 and flow
ers that showed highly developed art
istic ability.
On the sbuject of creative and orig
inal work Miss Edmund said: "In
every mind there are unknown pos
sibilities. It is our mision as teachers
to develop what lies in embryo. In
the design work in drawing, nature
has been used as a means for suggest
ing an infinite variety of new beauti
ful and original combinations. In so
doing it is no longer imitation, it is
creatiou. Had the Greeks and the
great Italian masters simply imitated
what the eye saw, we might have faith
ful copies, historically correct, but
there would have been no art about
it."
Miss Edmund pave several valuable
suggestions on penmanship. Specimens
of vertical penmanship by pupils who
are in the various grades of the schools
under her supervision, were shown.
The specimens were commendable for
their neatness and skill. The vertical
system is preferred for the lower
grades because it is the most natural
system for the child. The speaker be
ing an excellent penman herself, is
fully competent to give the teachers
most valuable instruction on the sub
ject.
Mr. Coughliu occupied the first period
in the afternoon session with an ad
dress on "Pedagogy of Heading." He
said that we should first of all master
the mechanics of reading, that is, we
should distinguish between nading
and learning to read. Heading is the
getting of thoughts from the printed
page, anl we cannot get the thoughts
from the page until we know how to
read properly. In learning to read we
proceed from the known to the un
known. the known being oral speech,
and tfie unknown, written sjieech. In
learning to read we appeal to the mem
ory, which is somewhat threefold in
nature: visual, auditory and motor.
We should adopt a method that will
represent an orderly and related series
of exercise*, and oue that will lead
cliildreu to help themselves.
The Misses Hooley delighted the au
dience with two piano ducts entitled
"Tourist March" and "West Virginia
University March," the latter being
an encore. Miss Elfriede Weiss rend
ered two vocal selections with pleas
ing effect.
The balance of the afternoon was
occupied by Miss Edmund. She spake
most entertainingly of"The Art of
the Italian Renaissance." She said iu
part:
The Italy of the Renaissance is the
art gar Jen of the world. Iu the mast
ery of line and color,in the expression
of great truths and the embodiment of
spiritual ideals, the achievements of
the Italian artists from the middle of
the twelfth to the close of the six
teenth century, have been the wonder
and admiration of the world and con
stitute its chief art impulse.
About the year 1000 A. D., the end
of the world was expected and when
this year passed without bringing the
great event, enthusiasm revived, and
as an expression of gratitude, the peo
ple began to build great churches and
cathedrals.
The Popes invented the Mystery-
Plays illustrating scenes in the life of
Christ. Such occasions as these stimu
lated the artistic passion of the people
and poetry, painting and sculpture
went hand iu hand.
It has been truly said that the his
tory of Christianity is carved and paint
ed in its Madonnas. The first of these
hardly represent a real mother and
child. They are rather symbols of
battle.
In the latter part of the 13th cent
urv, we find the Father of Painting,
the artist, Cimabue He made a bold
but devout attempt to break away
from the ascetic ideal, and unite the
dignity of the divine with the beauty
of the human form. But Oimabue's
strong claim to the gratitude of suc
ceeding ages is that he gave to the
world, Giotto, the shepherd boy. Giot- 1
to was a cteatcr, a revolutionist. He j
turned aside from the arbitrary and
traditional form- of the past,and studi
ed at nature's shtine.
Ot Masaccio, it is said :
"He came to Florence long a«o,
And painted here these walls, that !
shone
For Raphael and for Angelo.
With secrets deeper than his own
Of Fra Augelico, it lias well been
said. "The light of his studio came
from Paradise." Fra Fillippn l.ippi
was the first of the Italian aiti-ts to
take the faces of those around him as
models for his sacred character*. Hot

ticelli's Madonnas are characterized
by the divine aud thoughtful face he I
Kives the Virgin.
Michael Angelo united great nobility
of character to a commanding strength
of intellect, and a fervor that gave
him the spallation : "The Prophet of
the Renaissance."
She spoke ot Angelo's patriotism |
and his preeminence in sculpture and
painting. Not a fragment of his labor
was insignificant. Into art as into a
rich laud, he came and conquered.
In grace, purity, serenity and lofti
ness Kaphael was the Florentine lead
er, easily first. He brought human
loveliness to the border of the devine.
Leonardo Da Vinci's work lias much
power aud dingity, it is sympathetic
winning and impressive. His best
known pictures are the Mona Lisa,
and the head of Christ in The Last
Supper.
COMMUNICATION.
Editor The ; AMERICAN Th«
Danville School Board is entitled to
the highest commendations concerning
the steps taken at the regular meeting
of the members on Monday night, to
stamp out, and that forever, the fac
tional fight now being waged in the
High School relative to Comnisnte
ment Day Exercises, who shall and
who shall not take part,etc. All exist
ing strife, discord aud friction be
tween factions, classes and all inter
ested iu the wellfate and advance
ment of the public schools of Dauville
should be stamped out, aud that im
mediately. The sooner the better.
Mary the trouble qiuckly, and so deep
ly that it will never be heard of again
in this age aud generation, or those to
come.
If harmony is not restored soon,
there will be no Commencement in
Danville next June,for if matters con
tinue as they are now, the graduating
class of 23 members will so greatly
disorganized that there will be no one
to take part iu the exercises. Think
for a moment what woald result from
a failure of that kind It would be a
discredit to the reputation ot Dan
ville ;it would not only cause like mis
understandings and disagreements be
twt en faculties and boards of directors
where the members of the graduating j
classes were concerned, but it would
breed confusion aud disorder in the I
Grammar and Intermediate depart- |
meats of the public schools. Members
of these classes have friends, brothers
and sisters, iu the graduating class.
They will say if these brothers and
sisters, after working hard to reach a
post of honor iu their class, are not
premitted the privilege of speakiug
from the platform during commence
ment, there is no use of us trying to
reach the goal of our ambition. We
might as well quit right now, for the
faculty will not let us make a display
of "what they have done for us,"
when they have an opportunity to do
so.
Only once iu the history of Danville
were the pupils of the graduating class
of the High School debarred from par
ticipating in Oommeucement exer
cises. That was not the result ot a
factional fight. It occurred during the
year of 1894, and was on account of
the epidemic of smallpox iu town at
the time. Then it was necessarv for
the safety of the public at large, not
to have one. Now its different. There
is no smallpox to keep the children
at their homes, the public demands it
aud the graduating class is prepared
to appear upon that occasion, and to
take part in the exercises in a maimer
that will be creditable to themselves
and satisfactory to all concerned. Let
them appear; give all, if possible, the
privilege of taking part. Stop jangl
ing. Effuse harmony where there is
discord Quiet all confusion, in order
that wheu another year rolls around
you have nothing like the prevent
trouble to contend with.

RJRMER DANVILLE
BOY'S INVENTION
A. B. Flick, of W'illiamsport, is in
town soliciting orders for an invalid
bed-table. The article in question is
the invention of a former Danville
boy, Eugene Kemp,now a well known
machinist with residence in the
"Queen City of the West Branch."
The table is a neatly and attractively
finished piece of furniture, with a
swinging arm attachment that can be
readily fastened to a bed or chair oc

Ideal Shopping Days,
The merchants of Danville have fill
ed their stores with goods of every
variety and price, all up-to-date,need
ed|for the household and for personal
adornment and comfort.
These seasonable goods in seemingly
inexhaustible quantities are most at
tractively displayed and polite and
accomplished salesmen aud women are
on haud to show them.
Now is the time to buy. The temp
erature of the atmosphere says that
Winter is at hand. Soon everything
will be frozen up and the streets cov
ered with snow or slippery aud dang
erous from ice.
These days are ideal for shopping.
The ladies of Danville need hardly be
reminded that such weather will not
long contiuue.
Moreover,those who do their Christ
mas shopping soon, will avoid the
crush at the end of the season and
have the first choice of fresh aud
beautiful wares.

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con

an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or lrn- j
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely clos ,

Settlement Hade.
A settlement was effected Tuesday
in the case of Com. vs William
Mensch, William Burger, prosecutor,
before Justice of the Peace Weiss at
Bloomsburg. The case will according
ly not be tried. This was the case that
grew out of the refusal of Mensch to
drive his team off the tracks of the
Danville aud Bloomsburg Electric rail
road at Orovania Thanksgiving Day.
The merchants welcome the present
cold wave, as Christmas is less than
four weeks away, and the weather up
to titis time has not caused much of a
leinaud for Winter wear.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
