THE EDUCATIONAL BILL
SERMON TO A LOOA.L PATRI
OTIC ORDER.
DISCOURSE ON. A TIMELY THEME
Rov. Robert O'Boylo Speaks to
tho Junior Order of American
Moohanlcs on tho Publics
Soliool System.
CONSIDERABLE Inter-
est lias hinged of Into
upon the compulsory
educational bill, and
Unit Interest lias been
increased by tho fact
that tho Jr. O. U. A.
SI. has invited tho
clergymen to express
their views upon it
from tho pulpit. Last evening Rev. Robert
O'Boylo was Riven an opportunity to speak
upon the nicasuro in tho Trinity Reformed
church, and over a bundled members of
Major Jennings Council, No. 307, Jr. O. U
A. SI., lUtened to the sermon.
Rev. O'Boylo took his text from Proverbs
lit; 13,11, 15-"llappy is tho man that
flndcth wisdom, and tho man that gcttcth
understanding ." Also Proverbs IV
"Wisdom is tho principal thing; therefore,
get wisdom ; aud with all thy getting, get
understanding.
Rev. O'Boylo read tlto material sections ol
tho proposed compulsory bill and then pro
ceeded to briefly roview tho history of tin
publlo school system in Pennsylvania. After
til 8 roview Rov. O'Boylo settled down to some
common sense reasoning aud kept expound
ing upon American citizenship, maintaining
that such citizenship is dependent upon tli
inllucnco of tho public school system, and
therefore that is tho rock upon which the
United States government stands and do
ponds upon.
"Popular education is tho bulwark of free
institutions," said Rov. O'Boylo, "and to edu
cato tho pcoplo means to lift up tho masses.'
Tho compulsory educational bill, tho pastoi
said, was recognized as ono of tho patriotic
undertakings of tho Junior Older of Ameri
can Mechanics, and tho movement is such as
any American citizen will rccognizo as an
elfort to pcrretuato tho principals of tin.
greatest Republic in tho wordl.
Continuing the pastor said ignorance re-
turds tho interests of the people; it restrains
tho growth and development of tho stato and
nation. Fifty years ago Pennsylvania was in
tho background in comparison to her sister
states, but, thanks to tho public school
system, sho has forged to tho front and now
stands second to none, with an annual ap
propriation of $5,000,000 and tho stato's sup
port roady to continue tho glorious work.
The proposed bill should not be considered n
compulsion, because its measures only provide
necessities. Popular education leads to in
telligent citizenship, and the placing of that
mighty power the bnllot in tho hands of
people who will know how to handle it in
telligently, and the intelligent handling of
the ballot in a Republic Ijko tho United
States means a government, as Lincoln said,
"of tho people, by the people and for tho
people." Havo tho children educated. Let
tho parents realize tho rich blessings of tho
public school system, which has been granted
by God through man as free as tho air we
breathe.
Said a noted man of GO years, "my mother
gavo mo Downs' Elixir for coughs and colds
when I was a boy." lm
Newspaper Xewi.
The Plain Speaker, of Hazleton, is now a
ono-cent paper. Wo note a number of im
provements in its make-up lately.
Our enterprising friend, "Jack" McCarthy,
ot tho Hazleton Sentinel, is full of grit. Ho
has purchased five Mergenthaler typo setting
machines, costing $3,000 each. A flno $5,000
printing press priuts his 30,000-issuo of tho
Weekly Sentinel. All these things would bo
suillciout to make an ordinary newspaperman
happy, but his cup of joy has been overflowed
by the resignation of President McLcod, who
has been his special target for months past.
Groat Is "Jack."
Tho Contralla Weekly Xev8 is a subject for
an obituary. It has ceased its appearance.

Something liiipormiit In (lonncctlonjWIth
Our I'uhlto School.
Editor Hkbam: It 1 now generally
known that Prof. L. A. Freeman, our prosent
efficient Superintendent of public school,
will not be a candidate for re-election for the
ensuing term. This determination on the
part of Prof. Freeman has given rise to many
regrets and no llttlo concern as to the selec
tion of his sucreftsor.
Uuder the present management our schools
have sustained an excellent reputation. It
lias long bcon a matter of pride, that what-
over else might bo said to the disadvantage of
our town, our schools have boon equal to tho
best in tho county.
It is admitted on all sides that this high
standard can bo maintained only by tho most
Igilanl and energetic supervision on the part
of a superintendent thoroughly equipped for
tho work.
Will our Board succeed lnfimling a man to
meet nil tho requirements of this important
position 1 It is no moro than reasonable that
tho citizens of the largest town in tho county
should expect their School Board to give
them a superintendent who shall prove equal
to tho emergency. Ho should havo sufficient
acquirements to enable him to take liH
proper rank with the best educators in the
county, with the prestige of success in hU
rofession sufficient to compel the respect anil
confidence of our numerous corps of teachers.
The success or failure of our Board In
making this eloction is sure to have an
important bearing on their standing and
reputation with the community. Any back
ward step is sure to meet witli severe con
demnation. It is generally believed that our Board is
fully alivo to tho importance of this matter,
and they will Justify tho confidence reposed
iu them.

Political Point.
Tho Tamaqua CoMrfer is authority for the
statement that Senator Mouaghan is not a
candidate for County Treasurer. Senator
Monaghan may havo said tlii-i, but his friends
say he is. No doubt Senator Jfonaghan
would like to succeed himself in the Senate,
where he has made quito a record for himself.
Harry Muldoon has changed his tactics.
Ho 's now a candidate for County Treasurer.
HasJerrj McKernan.Xprmcd a combination
with him?
If Postmaster General Blssoll adheres to
his determination not to removo any moro
fourth class postmasters until they have
served four years, except for good cause,
Postmaster Eberlo, of Glrardville, will have
an opportuulry for serving his community
for awhilo yet, and "every Tom, Dick auil
Harry" will not haudlo tho mails in that
town like thev did somo years ago.
The Republicans of this county want as
early a convention as the rules will permit so
that all that want can go to tho World's Fair
beforo politics get rod hot.
It is conceded that a Shenandoah man will
be placed on the Republican ticket for County
Commissioner. Thero are throe candidates
from town Sovorn, Bellis and Noiswender.
There are plenty politicians in town who
are willing to bet that the next postmaster
will be selected from tho First ward.
With part of Schuylkill county lopped off
to make up Hazle, the Democrats wont feel so
sanguiuo of victory noxt fall.
Iu tho next apportionment, if we ever have
another one, Mahanoy City and Shenandoah
ought to lw made ono representative distr.cr.

P. J. Ferguson has long siuco attained a

some of his pranks havo been good enough to
go the rounds of the press for months. On
Saturday he udded another to the list.
While a woman and her little boy were
waiting for a train at tho Lehigh Valley
depot P. J. coaxed tho youngster into hia
private office and poured a glass of water into
tho boy's pants pocket while a conversation
was kept -up. P. J. then gave the boy a
penny aud told him to go back to hU mother.
The youngster did as directed and while he
was walking up and dowu the platform turn
ing the penny over and over in hia hand, the
woman exclaimed, as she saw the water
dripping from the bottom of the youngster's
pants, "There, now, you little rascal, Z
kuew you would do it." The next moment
the boy wag stretched across the maternal lap
and tho air was filled with cries of pain
mingled with the resounding whacks that
fell upon the seat of the pants. P. J. got
away before the little fellow could give au
explanation.
