WANTED-MORE
MEN TUB
The rapidity with which women are
sujiersediug men as teachers in the
public schools of Pennsylvania is point -
ed out by State Superintendent Schaef
er in his annual report, which he sub
mitted Saturday to Governor Stuart.
In li>oo there were in this State 0,894
men aud 19,99t> women teachers, while
at the present time there are 7,935
men teachers and 20,771 women teach
ers, Dr. Schaefer expresses the hope
that some method will be found to en
courage men to remain teachers, be
cause boys especially need masculine
influence at a certain stage in the
school life. *
Possibly the greatest shock to Penn
sylvania's pride will be Superintend
ent Schaefer's statement that this State
does not occupy the high place in pro
viding for its school children that
many taxpayers believe,but that other
states make a far better per capita
showing. He also criticises the high
school systems, both city ami town
ship. As to Pennsylvania's appropria
tions to schools lit' says:
"The biennial school appropriation
of $15,000,000 has misled many of our
citizens into thinking that Pennsyl
vania sets apart a larger proportion of
the State revenues for school purposes
than any other State in the Union.
This thought is far from true, if ac
count. is taken of the permanent re
venues for educational purposes.
"New Jersey does not make large
school appropriations at each session
of the legislature, but her fixed school
revenues from other than local sources
make a far better per capita showing
than Pennsylvania's large biennial
school approrpiatiou.
"In Indiana the total State tax levy
is . 3335, out of which .1035, or nearly
half, is set apart for education. In
Minnesota about one-third of the State
revenue, counting funds derived from
school lauds and the permanent fund,
is devoted to educational purposes. In
Michigan the elementary school fund
yields a revenue in excess of $8,000,-
000, which is twice the amount raised
by local taxation.
"Hearty endorsement is given the
new plan of requiring a four-year high
school course, or its equivalent, as a
requirement for preliminary education
of those who expect to study medic
ine, law, dentistry and pharmacy. This
will be a great help to stimulate sec
ondary education."
Work of high schools and normal
schools has riot yet been satisfactorily
eo-ordinateil, the superintendent says.
He claims it is a waste of public mon
ey to make a high school nothing more
than a training school for teachers.
The high school should primarily fit
pupils for the lite they will lead in
the future; it is the province of the
normal school to lit them for college
or professional school, and this is a
secondary purpose with the real high
school. Graduates of a normal school,
he says, are far better teachers than
graduates of a city high school.

POLICE DETAIN
10 YOUNG GIRLS
The stern duties of our chief of pol
ice Saturday night were varied by an
enisode calling for the exercise of his
authority in which two pretty girls
from Northumberland were the chief
actors anil delinquents.
About 10 o'clock the chief was call
ed up on the 'phone by a woman liv
ing in Northumberland, who explain
ed that her seventeen-year-old daugh
ter along with another Northumber
land girl of about the same age had
left home and that in the mother's
opinion they had gone to Danville nl
lurod by the show that was the attrac
tion in the opera house at that date.
The girls to be sought were Lillian
Carroll and Rachel Conrad. With the
clue that had been furnished as to
their probable whereabouts when the
show was over the officer stationed
himself at the main entrance to the
opera house, and, as the girls passed
out quickly and unostentatiously gave
them to understand that for the time
being they were in his care and keep
ing. They readily took in the situa
tion, one of them exclaiming: "Why
they know where, we are will enough.
Although inclined to demur they had
to accompany the officer to city hall.
The spectacle of the blue coat «ith a
jauntily dressed girl on each side of
him was not usual one oil the crowded
street and caused much conjecture as
what it all meant.
The anxious mother in Northumber
land was apprised that her daughter
and companion were in safe hands in
Danville. The chief was asked to de
tain the girls until yesterday morning
when arrangements would be made to
take them home.
When it came to complying with the
latter request the chief was in a
quandary, as the use of the lock-up,
the only place at his disposal, in sucli
a case was obviously out of the ques
tion. To detain the girls in prison was
also not to be considered seriously.
'The hour of midnight was rapidly
approaching when the generous laud
lord of the Baldy house came to the
policeman's rescue and volunteered to
furnish the girls a room and to be re
sponsible for their safe keeping until
morning.
Both girls returned to Northumber
land on the 12:51 D. L. & W. train
Sunday accompanied by a relative
who came up to Danville for them on
the early morning train.

WEEK FOR MARCAVITCH
While the execution of Stanny Mar
eavitch will take place at Sunbury a
week from today, the prisoner main
tains the utmost composure.
He is not now buoyed up with the
hope that his case might be reconsid
ered by the board of pardons, as he
was last June and in June a year ago.
Vet lie talks freely with the men aliout
him and his conduct has been most ex
emplary.
He denies that he ever stated that
lie would "die game" as was current
ly stated From some source he lias
obtained most of the newspaper com
ment on his case, and this occupies a
large part of his time.
Ho has taken a certain amount of
pride in the contrast between himself
and Henry Fisher, who also is und< r
sentence of death. He acted like a man
in all tlii) ordeals through which he
mssed, while Fisher displayed the
.Host abject cowardice and was so re
volting anil degraded that he seemed
o be more like a low order of beast
hau a human being.

TABY ARRANGES
FOR HANGING
Tabv visited Pottsville Sat
urday and made arrangements with
the Schuylkill county commissioners
to use the Schuylkill gallows at Sun
lmry on November 18 when Stanny
Marcaviteh will be executed for the
murder of the aged Springfield cobj
bier.
Sheriff Taby in addition to securing
the Schuylkill gallows, has also ar
ranged with Underwarden Michael
Schoeneman to spend some time at
Sunbury to assist in the preparation
of the prisoner and also to super vis#
the execution. The latter has during
his many years of service at the Potts
ville prison arranged the details for a
number of executions and has never
had a failure mar an occasion of this
kind. The gruesome instrument of
death has been used in Schuylkill
county for the execution of some 20 or
more condemned murderers, and was
the one upon which the Mollies were
executed nearly 30 years ago.
Although the identity of the man
who will pull the rope which springs
the trap through which Marcavitch
will drop to his death, is closely guard
ed, it was learned that Sheriff Taby
has arranged with a Schuylkill county
man to perforin this gruesome task.
The hangman who will officiate at
Sunbury has assisted in several ex
ecutions of recent date in Schulykill
county.

STUDENTS (IF
ESPERANTO
The students of Esperanto in Dan
ville, of which there are a large num
ber, are planning to form a club. Quite
a number have become so proficient in
the new language that they can both
write anil converse fluently in it. Not
a few of the Danville students are con
ducting correspondence with students
of Esperanto in European countries
and derive a great deal of pleasure
from the exchange of sentiment, post
cards, &c.
Millions of people in every nation
and condition of life are now using the
new language. There have been four
world conventions in which Esperanto
was used by people from all countries
and they understood each other per
fectly. "
The new language is not difficult to
learn. A bright child of ten years, it
is said, can master it and people have
been able to write it quite well after
a few days of study. Yet it is not a
mere play language. It is taught in
the great university of Oxford, the
university of Chicago,the Chautauqua
institution and in many public schools.
A meeting will be held lit the office
of Justice of the Peace W. Oglesby
on Friday the 12th inst.,at S p. m.for
the purpose of considering the organ
ization of a (dub here, to be under the
Pennsylvania Esperanto association,
j which in turn is subordinate to the
Esperanto association of North Amer
ica. All persons in any way interested
in the study of Esperanto are invited
to be present at the meeting.

CO. S. S. MEETING TODAY
The nineteenth annual convention
of the Montour County Sunday School
association will take place at Straub's

prospects are that it will be the larg

Three sessions will bo held and W.

GRILLING THE
GUARDSMEN
Henceforth the members of the na
tional guard will be drilled by or un
dar the supervision of a regular army
officer. In Danville he will appear on
the fourth drill night of each month
and assume charge of the movements.
The matter Is fully explained by the
following letter, which was read by
Captain Herrington before the mem
bers of Company F, Thursday night:
"Captain F. M. Herrington,
Danville, Pa.,
Dear Captain:—Sergeant Frank A.
Wagner, sth infantry, U. S. A., has
been detailed to this regiment. The
commanding officer of the regiment
desires to arrange for him to spend one
drill night in the fourth week of each
mouth at Danville. Kindly advise j
headquarters as to your drill night and j
what arrangements you can make. |
Yours very truly,
M. H. TAGGART, Adjutant."
The fourth di ill night of the month '
when Sergeant Wagner will make his j
lirsr visit to Danville will occur on the
J.'ith inst.. Thanksgiving. In order
that the drill may be over in time to
enable the officer to leave on the i> :Hi.
D. L. & W. train it has been decided
to meet for drill at 7 s'O o'clock. Cap
tain Heriiiigton will see to it that the
members of the company attend drill,
especially on the night each month
when Sergeant Wagner is present. At
the last drill night, Thursday,the cap
tain gave tiie members of the company
the benefit of an object lesson, show
ing that he means all lie says in regard
to compelling attendance.
There were several absentees who
the captain believed had no good rea
son for not being present. He accord
ingly sent out a squad of eight men
under a non-commissioned officer to
bring in the delinquents. He will re
peat the measure each night until the
members learn that they can not evade
the obligation they assumed when they
joined the Guard. The penalty that a
captain may impose for failure to at
tend drill is quite heavy. In Philadel
phia the delinquents are often im
prisoned.
